They did start off in Hawaii, but they're based out of Tokyo. Sonic's an anime character, and he was created by Yuji Naka Naoto Ōshima, whose most likely Japanese.
Plus they were also bought out by Sammy. Who is emphatically a Japanese company.

Of course Nintendo had the better support and library, that is well known. But the SMS was very capable. I've never seen anything, homebrew or otherwise, to compare with the graphics of SF2 on the SMS...

Like I said, mind you wasn't Hawaii annexed?

Isnt it just a basics fact that the Master System has a larger color pallet then the NES? I don't really judge the graphics based on the best on both systems either, I was just going by what an average game with average graphics looks like.
And let me state I LOVE Kirby's Adventure, and it does look better then a lot of SMS games, but it really pushes the limits of the NES. Idk if there really were any games that pushed the limits of the Master System tho in that sense. That's wat I was getting at.

Just because SMS has a larger color pallet doesnt mean the games will look better. I think Street Fighter II on the master system looks and plays horrible. Gameplay is super choppy. Compare to Joy Mech Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMexAWRftto
