Sometimes the name of the console is (more or less) the same for multiple regions, and in those circumstances the region has been added as a suffix to the game system name. For example 'na' for North America has been added to `snes` (Super Nintendo), as this is the minority region corresponding to around 7,5% of the world population. The same goes for Japan, as in `megacd` and `megacdjp`. Again, this only affects the theme and theme graphics.
