32x - Sega’s Strangest Move

From GamesReviews: "The 32x was a good idea handled badly. Turning the Genesis into a Saturn worked on paper, but Sega forgot the most important thing: the games."

First time i played virtua fighter was on 32X. Great times.

ZeekQuattro835d ago

I only had a handful of 32X games but Virtua Fighter was the first one I made sure to get. This and Knuckles Chaotix were my most played 32X entries. Star Wars Arcade was up there as well.

I remember buying a 32x solely for a better version of mortal kombat 2! Was so obsessed with that game back then lol! In the end. It was a complete waste of money and all the games I traded in for that thing! When you're broke in your early teen years struggles 😂😬

The little magic mushroom had a lot of potential but they just made all kinds of bad decisions. Coming up with games specific for it that did not overlap with the Saturn was not in its favor. And worse of all was they didnt even really utilize the potential in the CD expansion in tandem with it.

It had really good arcade ports though. MK2, Afterburner, Space Harrier, Wrestlemania... and sad they canceled Outrun and Power Drift for it.

I've always wanted one of these, but I own a Model 3 genesis, plus they are expensive now so never gonna get it

There is a mod for the Genesis 3 called the triple bypass it will enable 32X and SMS on the model 3 and works with any board revision. All you would have to do to get a cheap 32X is look for one that is untested or not working on Ebay most of the time the issue is the two white ribbon cables that just need to be cleaned. Thats the link mentioning it will work on the model 3 Genesis. https://youtu.be/QnVH1WxZeq...

I bought a 32X in a Genesis lot clean up the ribbon cables I don't mind the thing I own Doom looking at Star Wars and potentially After Burner for the 32X. I think the most expensive game on the 32X is Spiderman Web of Fire seen videos on it not my type of game. This thing was created when Sega of Japan and Sega of America were having a pissing contest with each other. I don't mind the little mushroom cloud Doom I have fun playing sure the music is dull but it's fun After Burner one of my favorite Sega games is a must to get I like the look of it on the 32X and that's next on my list to own. I wish Street Fighter was released on the 32X would love to have seen what it looked like.

I remember when Toys R Us had stacks of these on sale for -$20.00 when Saturn came out, then they had stacks of Saturns. Sega was dabbling in some weird territory after the Sega CD, but they were leading the way pioneering for upgradable consoles…too bad it all changed

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN10h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos7h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN32m ago

They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger10h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto11h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos11h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long8h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel10h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator10h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
