 DW FACTS
by Dark Watcher |
The Sega Neptune was to be a Sega Genesis and 32X combined into a single console. Sega had admitted that the 32X was rather expensive and
had problems, so combining it with a Genesis and selling it at a better price would have been a good idea.
By the time they had
made a prototype, the 32X had reached the end of its short developmental life-span. Interest in the Sega Saturn killed off any
chances for 32X, so the idea was scrapped. Sega believed there would not be much interest in it. |

If this system was released, this console would have been a clone of the Sega Genesis with the Sega 32X add-on module. Watch out for
fakes on eBay and the like - there are plenty of them like the one pictured below. |
