@@aceofhearts573 yup. One awesome Sonic title and a couple other great first party games and that would be all it needed to become a must have item. Then 3rd parties would have no choice but to support it. Why fund Knuckles Chaotix? I mean I respect trying new things but surely they knew that it wasn't going to be that good fairly early on. I bet that game cost as much if not more to develop than a "regular" Sonic title. They could have thrown in all the fancy scaling and rotation effects as long as it played good and fast. Oh well, so much wasted potential. I also see the logic in releasing an adapter versus making a bunch of expensive SVP based games. People don't want to spend over 100 bucks on a game, but a one time expense of 160 dollars to upgrade? Seems like a more attractive option on paper. Reality worked out differently though. If they could have found a way to get the price down on the SVP chip I guess that might have been a good compromise. Or you know, just shelf all of it and wait for the Saturn, then throw that saved R+D money at giving your 32-bit console a decent release with some good launch titles.

Don't worry, the next video will be back to my normal documentary style format for the XBAND. Thanks to Master-Cast TV, the mystery of who played Christina has been solved. It appears that K.K.

Thanks for checking out man. I know it was a change of pace from what people subbed to the channel for.

Would love to see the alternate universe where this continued on to become one of the most successful sitcoms of all time

I remember 1994 pretty well, even the console Wars to some extent, I would have been 6 at the time. I don't remember this. I wonder if my brother does. I will say, I enjoyed some of the really bad acting, because the thing is, is that some of these people can actually act very well, but I think it was part of Sega's philosophy at the time to do things that are, kind of over the top. Personally, I would have voted for Stella's show.

Oh yeah, I think everyone here is acting as directed. Pretty much everyone on here actually can act pretty well. Like you, I think they were just told to be over the top.

As someone who was 10 at the time and buying gaming magazines whenever he could, I can say I remember the ad. But I don't remember the actual show at all. I think I skipped over the ad in the magazines, honestly. I just remember seeing it there.

Not gonna lie, 15 year old me would've had a crush on that Juliet character. Also "DOOM is coming to videogames" is pretty epic. Great job on the video. I'm glad I watched this than the original, I think you broke it down well but gave some important context as well. I didn't mind this format at all, I liked it.

Damn I bought the 32X as soon as it came out and I have zero recollection of this "show." I can't believe I missed it. But I'm glad to have finally seen it in 2018! Really cool video and commentary -- thanks for this!

11:25 that is NOT what “Where for art thou Romeo” means! It means, ‘why do you have to be a Capulet?’ Not, ‘Where are you located?’

Wrestling With Gaming nah, this is great! it’s all the same interesting info, but instead of being about a console or peripheral it’s about a cheesy ass, yet amazing 90s sega infomercial. Plus I love KZbin reviews of movies that are “so bad it’s good” so this is right up my alley. Your commentary/jokes were hilarious.

Wow I do NOT remember this! 😆😆 I remember the ridiculous late night promos for the Sega Saturn but not this.It's so pandering and embarrassing! I like Sega's game and hardware but most of the decisions they made in the 90s just leaves me stunned. Without this video I wouldn't know how to explain this to someone! great video man lol!

An infomercial dressed up as a fake TV show? This feels like something out of Max Headroom.

I own this beast of a machine known as the 32x, i got it back in the 90's on launch, fell in love with Mortal Kombat 2 on it and doom...sadly...these are the only games i really play on it...still..at the time, it was all about MK2 for me.
