Ah yeah I got the company wrong, but some of those controller port-in-cart games were released in America I think. I saw some sitting in a bin in one of the Vintage Stocks around here.
Yeah, Sega didn't really take the best path there. Nintendo didn't release their multitap in time, Hudson beat them to it, but Nintendo went with it and just made that one the official multitap for everything. The light gun thing is a bit silly too. Nintendo's side didn't do much better. There were those "enforcer" guns and the Super Scope. To defend the enforcer guns, that super scope was about the most absurd thing to come out of the "to the extreme" 90's. Honestly, it had no business being so ridiculously over sized. There was really nothing that gun did that a smaller gun couldn't do. The "Menacer" wasn't much better, what with all those silly accessories that didn't really add anything to the game.
Edit: So I checked and I guess none of them were officially released in the US. I have to assume someone either imported the game or imported themselves to America and ended up selling it to a local shop that didn't bother to see whether or not it would work in an American Genesis. I've certainly seen the carts though. Never wanted the games it was put in though...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
