At first I wanted to disagree, but being as other consoles didn't need add-ons to improve themselves I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

That Sonic CD.

oh hai. did someone call me?

>>600432
Shoo! Shoo! No one wants you!

>>600441
lol

>>600441
>HD DVD


muh sides!
Did anybody think that would actually catch on?

Oh. Right.

>>600414
That's not the PC Engine CD.

Joking aside, I actually own 4 games for the Sega CD.

Can someone recommend me some good sega cd games?

>>600476

Why haven't you payed attention to any of the other 50 billion Sega CD recommendation threads?

Why haven't you checked the wiki?

Why haven't you Googled?

>>600476
Sonic CD
Snatcher
Shining Force CD
Lunar 1 and 2

Anybody else care to add any?

>>600482
This, always check the wiki, then check out the youtube videos to see if the game looks fun to you.

>>600485

No. Stop spoonfeeding. Stop encouraging the same threads to be repeated ad nauseum.

>>600512
Stop being a cunt.

>>600451
But they join forces!

>>600517
Is there a single good 32x cd game?

It had good games.

Hmm, Sonic Cd
Snatcher (everyone hypes the fuck out of it, its too hard for me when I play it with the lightgun)
Popful Mail
thats it, only 3 noteworthy games. still a good system if you ignore the FMV shit

thats not the N64DD

>>600482
I have
i just wanted a excuse to discuss about the sega cd

The Sega CD is great. It lets me get stereo audio out of my Genesis, it has a bunch of great games, it plays burned discs, and it looks cool.

>>600535

The FMV games had better video quality, if that counts.

>>600535
Well, there are 5 in total ever.

The Sega CD was more or less a pioneering from Sega. The technology just wasn't completely there for the time, though it wasn't in vain. Aside the sluggish load times and FMV genre, it was a pretty bold marketing and technological gamble. Kudos to them for making the attempt, but shame on them for flooding the shelves with FMV games which 9 times out of 10 sucked.

I don't think it made the Genesis ugly either, though the excess of cables was annoying.

>>600485

Captain Tsubasa and Illusion City. You wont find those on the wiki. Captain Tsubasa is playable without japanese knowledge and if you read the manga or watch the anime you'll know the story.

>>600549

Forgot the vid.

>>600550

Except they were a couple of years behind, by the time they got on the CD Business NEC already had the best developers working on their console.

>>600537
You forgot Ecco the dolphin, the lunar games, dark wizard, vay, final fight cd and many others.

>>600567
Ooh, didn't Earthworm Jim CD have ~extra content~

>can buy a brand new third party Saturn memory backup cart that also functions a cheat device, region lockout override, and RAM expansion for $20 in 2013
>no such thing for SegaCD, forced to scour eBay for the first party one, they come up once in a blue moon, and cost somewhere between $50-$100

>>600570
I think the model 2 versions look better together than the model 1 versions do.

>>600595
sorry, that was supposed to be pointed at >>600550

>>600573
Yes, it had extra levels and some other shit.

>>600605
it's understood. I like the model 1 more than the model too.

>>600595

I have to disagree. I love how the model 1 CD doesn't make the unit take up more space, and I think it looks really great.

>>600517

To play shitty games!

In all honesty someday I will buy a 32x to play Kolibri, since I'm a big Ed Annuziata fan.

If only they had discovered the joy of putting the power block in the middle of the cable instead of at the plug.

>>600595

Agreed, I love the sleeker look of the Model 2

>>600659

I had to search around for a surge protector with rotated outlets like that once I bought my Sega CD. Turns out the transformers are still too large to plug in side by side. Oh well, at least they don't cover other plugs now.

>>600659
Why and I laughing so much at that picture? It actually is useful for those of us with rolling blackouts attached to our TV's.

i live in europe, exactly in north. Where i can buy sega mega cd under 100 dollars/euros ?

Playing this beauty right now, amazing game with a beautiful soundtrack.

>>600517
I had that. The only 32xCD game I had was Supreme Warrior

>>600773
Spencer Nielson always made good music

I would have said "Game Boy Printer" myself.

I'm planning on getting a hold of Phantasy Star 1. Should I get a Master System, or should I just get a Power Base Converter?

>>600848
Not having one of these made having a Game Boy Camera completely pointless.

>>600848

Y'know, looking back, this was a totally ridiculous idea.

>>600854
Phantasy Star is like the only game worth playing on Master System. Go with the Power Base (unless you reallllly want to Master System).

Things to note, if you have a model 1 Gen, you can use the AV and plug from that on the Master System, so if you find one without chords, go for it.

>>600896
It was slightly less ridiculous than the sewing machine.

There was that card reader for the GBA that, like, two people on earth bothered to buy

>>600962
It was a good way to pay off Nook faster in Animal Crossing.

>>600414
Is it the most successful add-on? I can't think of one that was more successful.

>>600971
When they get the GBA VC up, I wonder if they'll incorporate Super Mario Advance 4's e-Reader content

How many levels were they planning?!

>>600978
Commercially, the Sega/Mega CD was a flop everywhere. The PC Engine CD, however, was successful in Japan.

>>600978

What about the Famicom's disk drive? Fucking Zelda and Metroid came out on that.

>>601026
The system itself sold well, but there was rampant pirating, which is why Nintendo didn't release the system overseas. There was around 4.5 million of them sold in japan, compated to over 19 million Famicoms.

>>601026
It did pretty well at first, but after pirates figured out how to make their own disks, sales quickly went down. Nintendo didn't release the FDS in America because of this.(This was also before pirate companies figured out how to circumvent the lockout chip, save for maybe Tengen)

Also, Nintendo lost a lot of money on having to repair the disk drives, as they aren't very durable.(disk belt rarely works on FDS units these days, but not that hard to replace)

Fun fact: Nintendo fixed FDS units as late as 2005. That's one hell of a warrenty.

>>601090
>Fun fact: Nintendo fixed FDS units as late as 2005. That's one hell of a warrenty.

They actually fixed the disks more than the systems. Since the disk belt is easy to replace with a rubber band.

>>601090
Nintendo of Japan is actually a pretty cool company. Nintendo of America, however... I like much less, despite all of their monopolistic practices being a response to not follow Atari's mistakes.

>>601026
I always forget about the Famicom. Would the Sega CD be the most successful add-on in the U.S.?

>>601123
Ah yes, forgot to mention the disk durability. That's actually a bigger problem than the system itself, and this was only released in Japan where people are generally more careful with their stuff. Imagine all the broken disks Nintendo would have to replace in the US or Europe.

>>601090
>>601123
I'd love to get a hold of a Famicom Disk System, but with how expensive shipping from Japan is and that the disks have higher failure rates than cartridges or CD's, I think I may just buy one of these when they start making them with cartridge cases.

>>601026
The sattelaview, the 64 disc drive, the game boy player, Nintendo did love their expansions.
It's a bit boring that the ports on the Wii/Wii U are simply USB ports.

>>601207
Well, it's understandable why they stopped making them. Most add-ons made have been commercial flops,(Especially the 32X and the Nintendo 64DD) and the other add-ons have been a modest success at best.

>>601207

Back then every company had their own upgrades, even the Playstation with the Pocketstation which can be used as a clock.

Don't forget the modem for epic Double Dash LAN parties.

>when English alternatives exist

ROBop plz go back to /v/

i prefer to add the model 1601 to the sega cd, looks much better

>>601207
And let's not forget third party expansions.

Knitting, anyone?

>>601348
>The only way the GameCube could have games.

>>601576

But it's true, when you buy used games in Japan they are always in almost mint condition, and if they are not on those conditions they are dirt cheap (100 yen or less). A cart without a label is almost unnacceptable.

This is my current setup, with an Everdrive MD
> living the dream

>>600653
Do it. You won't regret it. Kolibri is one of my favorite games of all time, actually.

Also great on 32X:
Knuckles Chaotix
Afterburner
Space Harrier
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Tempo
Cosmic Carnage
Star Wars Arcade
Shadow Squadron
Mortal Kombat 2

But anon, that's not the Super Game Boy or the Game Boy Player.

>>602163
Blackthorne is also solid, but there's a SNES port of it.

>>602163

>cosmic carnage

Good lord, that damn game. Just make sure you use the code to turn it back into cyberbrawl.

>>602149
>Genesis 2
>Living the dream
You must have some pretty shitty dreams.

>>600906
>Phantasy Star is like the only game worth playing on Master System.
