List of Sega 32X games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of games for the Sega 32X video game system. All dates given are for the earliest release of the game. Games have been released in several regions around the world; Japan (JP), North America (NA), and Europe (EU).
For the game Sangokushi IV, the only Sega 32X game released in Japan only, the title Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV is given, since that is the English name of the game released on other consoles or personal computers.
The Sega 32X was an add-on for the Sega Mega Drive. At June 1994's Consumer Electronics Show, Sega presented the 32X as the "poor man's entry into 'next generation' games."[1] Although some blame Sega of America for developing this failure,[2] the 32X was originally conceived as an entirely new console by Sega of Japan.[3] Sega of America R&D head Joe Miller convinced Sega of Japan to strengthen the console and convert it into an add-on to the existing Genesis, but they would not make it a competitor to the forthcoming Sega Saturn. Although this add-on contained two 32-bit CPU chips and a 3D graphics processor,[4] it failed to attract either developers or consumers as the superior Saturn had already been announced for release the next year. Originally released at US$159, Sega dropped the price to $99 in only a few months and ultimately cleared the remaining inventory at $19.95;[3] only 200,000 units were sold.[2]
The following list contains all 34 games released on the Sega 32X, as well as 5 additional games (marked with a †) that used a combination of the 32X and the Sega Mega-CD.
