List of 32X games
The Sega 32X was an add-on for the Sega Mega Drive video game console. Unveiled at June 1994's Consumer Electronics Show, Sega presented the Sega 32X as the "poor man's entry into 'next generation' games."[1] The 32X was originally conceived as an entirely new console by Sega of Japan,[1] but 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 Sega Mega Drive, Sega's current console. They did not, however, make it a competitor to the forthcoming Sega Saturn. Although this add-on contained two 32-bit central processing unit chips, and a 3D graphics processor,[2] it failed to attract either developers or consumers as the superior Saturn had already been announced for release the next year.[1] 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.[1] Only 200,000 Sega 32X units were sold.[3]
The following list contains all 34 games released on the Sega 32X, as well as five additional games (marked with a †) that used a combination of the 32X and the Sega Mega-CD. All dates given are for the earliest release of the games, which have been sold in several regions around the world, including Japan (JP), North America (NA), and Europe (EU). For the game Sangokushi IV, the single Sega 32X game released in Japan only, the title Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire is given, since that is the English name of the game released on other consoles or personal computers.
