    I think for the 32X to have been a success, they should have made it cross compatible with Saturn. In other words, If you had a 32X and Mega CD attached to the Mega Drive, you could use that combo to play Saturn discs. Likewise, the memory card slot on the Saturn should have been compatible with Mega Drive and 32X cartridges. Already got a Mega Drive? No worries, plug these add-ons into your system and you're set for the next generation of gaming. Late to the Mega Drive party? No worries, here's a Saturn - it'll play Mega Drive and Mega CD plus all new 32X and Saturn games.

      I suppose it really would've sold way better. Sega was already distrusted because of the add-on failures and they had to rush Saturn launch, which made it complex and hard to develop for. If they didn't waste time on those 2 add-ons the story would have been completely different for the Saturn, in many ways.

    • @maroon9273
      @maroon9273 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel the failure and under utilization of game developing of the sega cd caused sega to create the 32x. Also, competing with pc engine super cd which led sega to rush in and release the sega cd. All of those resource would have been better if they focus on the Saturn, prior to it get into cd pc and interactive media by releasing publish/1st party games there, and solving the game gear battery issue.

      Sonic just doesn't translate well to 3D. It should have stayed a 2D side-scroller. Look at Sonic Mania, where they got it RIGHT. That's what Sonic X-Treme should have been.

I would have also let Sega's arcade division design the Sega Saturn because they had fully adopted 3D technology in all of their arcade games at that time and understood and embraced the direction the industry was moving in. Sega's home console division didn't seem to have a friggin clue based on their insistence on designing the Saturn as a primarily 2D machine.

    The 32X sold really, really well at first. Timing is what killed it. Everybody knew the Saturn and PlayStation were coming, and the 32X, Jaguar, and 3DO all looked like shit next to them. Then the Saturn surprise launch was the final nail in the coffin for 32X, coming within 6 months of the 32X launch. I don't think a true Sonic game would have helped it much, but if it were ported to the Saturn simultaneously or soon after, it would have helped the Saturn quite a lot.

      @@maroon9273 What Sega should have done was include Sega of America in the design of the Sega CD, because they would have been able to make it display more colors like the 32X does and it would have rendered the 32X moot. SOJ just designed the Sega CD themselves and then dumped it on SOA and told them to release it with only a couple games ready.
      Had they connected the proper pins from the VDP and the CPU in the Genesis in the first place, they could have doubled VRAM, doubled the color count and background layers, matched the SNES color palette and eliminated the need for a second CPU, which would have let them launch at $199 as originally intended. A Sega CD at $199 would have sold gangbusters.
      Barring all that, what they could have done instead of wasting time on the 32X is design a Genesis in a cart for the Sega Saturn, which SOA were working on at some point. All it would do is plug into the Saturn cart slot with its own slot on the top for Genesis cartridges, much like a Lock-On cart. You plug your Genesis games in and the commands from your Saturn controller pass through to it. The audio and video signals pass through the pins in the Saturn cart slot and the Saturn relays them to your TV screen. It would have solved the Saturn's lack of backward compatibility in a cart that probably would have cost no more than $80 by 1996. By January 1996 Sega had cut the cost of the Saturn to $299, so for less than the cost of the Saturn on launch day 1995, you could have had a Saturn AND Genesis in one console. and you would have had a library several times the size of the PlayStation library. It's too bad SOJ didn't give a rip about BC just because the Mega Drive sold poorly in their region.

      @@madhatter8508 true, if soj told soa about developing the sega cd, the add on hardware would have been much better. Same for the sega Saturn. A genesis with expansion support pin connections for the cartridge and expansion port would have exclude the need for any mixing cables. Also, enhancements color and audio expansion for genesis titles games with full Sprite and background color expansions. You can even include the sega cd hardware inside the adapter for the sega saturn.

    I always wondered why they didn't just call the Sega 32X the Sega Mars, it is a much cooler name IMO

      They really where considering doing just that but because Sega themselves effectively started the "bit wars" in 1991 as part of the Genesis marketing campaign to try and save the system from obscurity along with Sonic as a new company mascot, they where worried that dropping the whole "bit" thing just four years later would be a bad move...

    Even if the 32X was a commercial flop it's still a great tool for enthusiasts and hobbiests.

    The issue with people outside of Sonic Team introducing new characters, is the challenge of not having them look like DevinatArt shitposts. So while I'm not outright against the idea of Tiara being a character, those designs were rough.

    I actually never saw the Sally acorn Sonic cartoon. She wasn't a thing in the Sonic cartoon I had in the states. I think that one mainly aired on the west coast. Anyways. I can never see her without cringing simply over that darn life size doll with a skeleton so fan made

    That's pretty interesting, it's a shame a decent sonic game was never made on the 32X.
