Gaming Historian provides a history of the SEGA 32X. In an effort to stay ahead of the game, SEGA released the 32X in late 1994. It was an add-on that transformed the Genesis from 16-bit to 32-bit. SEGA pitched it as a cheaper alternative to the upcoming next-gen systems. But in less than a year, it was forgotten. The 32X damaged SEGA's reputation with developers and consumers. Learn all about it!

The SEGA 32X came and went so fast, I barely remember it. In 1997, I saw it in a thrift store with 3 games for $40. Looking back, it's so surprising SEGA even tried to make this a thing. While making the video, I did gain a little more appreciation for the 32X. It was a pretty powerful upgrade for the Genesis! But most of the games were rushed, and it definitely shows. As always, if you learned something new, please share the video! Thanks for watching!

It's unreal to think that Sega imploded because of something as petty as a rivalry between the Japanese and American branches. I can't believe the executives didn't stop it as soon as it became visible.

14:03 "Ratchet and Bolt" sounds like a rejected title for Ratchet and Clank.

I remember saving up a couple of paychecks from my after school job to get that 32X. The guy at Babbages talked me out of it at the register. He said just keep saving for the Saturn. Crazy how they mucked it all up.

Sega killed itself by competing with itself. That's to put it shortly.

"The cool kids" is the best way to represent early 90s Sega.

Either way, I’m happy that Sega went out with a BANG with the Dreamcast, it just feels like the bridge between the 5th and 6th generations, you’ve got a lot of PS1 ports that are far superior on Dreamcast, and some PS2 titles that also were shared with Dreamcast. It sucks that it failed, but what an amazing little machine that has some INCREDIBLE gems!

My brother made me trade in my SNES for a 32x when I was younger. I was immediately salty. Hated the 32x.

The early to mid 90's was so magical for me as a pre-teen looking into all those magazines, the graphics looked sooo amazing (especially the stills from the FMV era).

Donkey Kong Country proved that bits didn't matter so much. It's amazing what developers can squeeze out of hardware as the years go by. I'd still be satisfied if we were still playing on the SNES and Genesis. Imagine what the games would look like? They would probably be using custom enhancement chips in the cartridges by now. CD quality audio and millions of colors I bet.

It still feels bizarre to me how SEGA could release all these add-ons without a singular power supply that could power them all at the same time.

I absolutely loved Knuckles Choatix. The 32X was worth buying it for that game as far as I'm concerned. I wish it would get more attention/relaunches/remakes.

Fun fact about that Doom port: Unless you use a cheat code, you'll never get your hands on the BFG9000, as none of the included levels contain it

32 bit + 32 bit =/= 64 bit. Going by Atari Jaguar logic, the Switch would be 512-bit

I was just a young teen when the 32X came out, I was a Genesis fan and my friend gave me his SNES after he got his Neo Geo. But I was loyal to SEGA. I was just a kid so I didn't have much money. To save up for the 32X, I skipped lunch...... for months. I took my lunch money, and I immediately put it in a box except maybe dollar a day. I would ask for leftovers from my friends. Thanks to Ben L. and Chris A. for giving me their Apples and Bagels. I knew that by the time the 32X came out, I would have just have enough saved by then. I enjoyed it at first, but there weren't many games. @16:30 I ... WAS THAT JOE GAMER, and that is 100% how I felt. I saved up all the money I had, spent it ALL for NOTHING. When I saw the Saturn I was like "WhAT? WHAAAT?!". I lost ALL FAITH in SEGA at that point for a 13 yr old kid. They discontinued the 32X in a few months. I would never care for the Saturn, or later on the Dreamcast because of that. Exactly what Scot Bayless said. They lost me for good. I bummed off scraps at lunch for months, but that's what I get for being young and stupid. I didn't even so much as bat an eye to anything for SEGA after this. Despite good games later on the Dreamcast, they lost my trust forever. I was happy with my PS1 later on. But I did miss Code Veronica and Rival Schools. They would end up being ported so it didn't matter. Cept for Rival School 2: Project Justice, dammit I wanted that game.
