this jukebox thingy looks kinda cool, did it get a release?

I wonder why sega independently combined mega drive + 32 and mega drive + mega cd but didn't do a Mega Drive + 32X + CD in one system. maybe its because they ran out of names?

Sega of Japan was actively sabotaging Sega of America, which is why (1) the 32X was essentially stillborn, and (2) why the Neptune never got beyond mockup stage.

Sega of Japan asked Sega of America to develop a new addon for Genesis and didn't tell them anything the Saturn, keeping its development in secret. It was a communication error on behalf of SoJ.

>> No.987275

>>987258
No, SoJ was working on Jupiter, another system that was a stupid idea. SoA convinced SoJ to make it an add-on to the MD/Genesis instead because of the existing installed base (especially in the West), directly leading to the creation of the 32X. At that point, SoA (and even developers) knew Saturn was coming.

>> No.987340

Here are a few ideas on how Sega could have been saved: Not pushing out FMV shit for the CD, 32X never gets made, and Saturn not being a pain in the ass for developers. Bernie Stolar can also fuck right off and those communication issues between the Japan and American branches need get sorted out somehow.

>> No.987426

>>987275
Jupiter was already in the "nah, no such thing exists" phase by late 93/early 94 (there's an interview specifically asking about it somewhere around that date). Whether this was a "existed once, but not anymore" or "we never made that" is unknown. Knowing the Japanese, it could be the last one as easily as the first.

The 32x was pushed by SOJ and SOA had no choice but to play along. SOJ wanted something that increased colors for the Megadrive, and gave SOA the job of designing it in like 8 months. They tried telling them that no, this is stupid, but SOJ was VERY envious of SOA at this point, and wanted to take control over everything.

>> No.987492

>>987426
Why the hell would SoJ force SoA to make the 32X when they were already developing the Saturn at the time? That seems like they were purposely sabotaging SoA.

Are these really so rare? I have one out in my garage.

>> No.987519

>>987492
Which is what I stated initially. My suspicion is that SoJ was butthurt because a dumb barbarian gaijin made them look fucking incompetent with his idea to pack SONIC THE HEDGEHOG in with the Genesis to movie systems. That move alone took 8% of the home game market from Nintendo, which even SoJ could not do, and eventually led to Sega controlling FIFTY-SIX PERCENT of the US market. SoJ was so rectally devastated that they shot themselves in BOTH feet, and cut off their head to spite their neck, to abuse metaphors and colloquialisms.

>The 32x was pushed by SOJ and SOA had no choice but to play along.
Pure fabrication. SoJ was behind Jupiter and SoA convinced them to go with Mars (32X) instead.

I understand the Western desire to blame SoJ for everything, and to believe everything Kalinske, Stolar, and Moore ever had to say, but this is really some unchecked bullshit.

Ask Joe Miller what really happened.

Neptune's fucking cute.

they should have made a console similar to the saturn in design, but that played 32x AND cd games.

i know they made the cdx, but i don't think that played 32x games, or any cartridge games for that matter. correct me if I'm wrong. then they were going to make this neptune thing.

fuuu- i just don't get what sega was thinking with the stand-alone versions.
