I heard that Virtua Fighter for 32x cost $100 because it came with some kind of expensive 3D chip. True or False?

[MN12BIRD]

@modewr False. But Virtua Racing on the Genesis did because of the special SVP chip it had. That must be what you were thinking of.

Did you guys know that Darkstalkers and Castlevania symphony of the night was suppose to be release on 32x?It would of been sweet to see a symphony of the night game on 32x with no loading time at all.

[MN12BIRD]

@burzumaske20 Damn I didn't know that. That would have been awesome.

[Snotnarok]

Call me a idiot but, I heard the 32x actually broke some genesis games, like literally fried them. I can't help but worry since some of my titles are rare.

[MN12BIRD]

@Snotnarok I've never had that happen BUT I have heard a few people say it. They might have just "heard it from someone who heard it from someone" so I'm not sure if it's just a rumor or if it can happen. Just not sure but if you're really worried I would just use the 32X when you play 32X games and never use it for Genesis games.

Sega of Japan had not informed Sega of America that the Saturn was under development, so when the more information about the Sony Playstations development came out Sega of America became more and more worried. So they developed the 32 X as a counter to the playstation not knowing that the Saturn was under way. But of course, Sega of Japan didnt whant two competing 32 bit systems, and tis is why the 32 X was so quickly abandoned

I picked up a 32x after it didn't take off in a second hand shop.the games were rarer than rocking horse shit and I never found virtua fighter.I did manage to find doom and playing it back the with headphones on was amazing.I also had a fifa game on there,I think it was fifa 96,also very good.I had some god awful beat em up that wanted to be street fighter but in space with aliens,that was awful.but I gotta say I enjoyed my 32x

@MN12BIRD Maybe former workers of Capcom and Konami can make homebrews of those games for the 32X.

To my knowledge, there are no games from Capcom or Konami on the add-on...

@EyeS2pify I'm a bit of a SEGA fanboy but I have to say that the 32X sucked balls.

[Mekanaizer]

@burzumaske20 Castlevania: The Bloodletting, for the 32X was to be a very unique Mega Drive 32X CD game.

Let's say I know some stuff about unreleased games specialy for SEGA systems.

[WebVMan]

@modewr False. I saw a 32X new for $20. I paid $30 for a new 32X that came with Virtua Fighter.

[ChrisRenucci]

@MN12BIRD Sega still makes some nice Games.
