BigSpin Rants: Sega Genesis 32X



Sega Genesis 32X was an add-on system to the Sega Genesis that was big flop for Sega.

The add-on was introduced in 1994 as a mean to prolong the life of the Sega Genesis by adding 32-bit gaming.

Was it a success? No, people were hoping that Sega would have made the 32X a stand alone system, but instead we got a black mushroom thing that you stick in your Sega Genesis to make it play 32-bit games in addition to the Genesis' 16-bit games.

Only 40 games were released in the US for the 32X before Sega discontinued it in favor to make preparations to release the Sega Saturn in the US.

You know who likes the Sega 32X, Mario. He wished that he had a game on the Sega Genesis 32X, but Nintendo is Sega's rival.
