Sega 32X - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2008
- The Nerd finds out what another add-on, the 32X, for the Sega Genesis is like, and tries out some of the games that were made for it, including Primal Rage and Doom. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 26.
Released in 1994, Sega intended for this add-on to keep gamers entertained until the launch of the Sega Saturn and as a cheap entry into the 32-bit era. Sega also hoped to see the 32x increase the longevity of the aging Genesis (Mega Drive outside of North America). Today, the system is merely a curiosity and an obscure piece of gaming history. With a small library consisting of graphically improved versions of Genesis games and arcade ports along with the imminent arrival of the Sega Saturn, the 32x flopped and was discontinued roughly only two years after its launch. Though the graphics of some games were decent for the time, some games like Doom were missing content like different levels and had poor sound quality since it used the Genesis' sound chip. Many people see the 32x as the beginning of Sega's eventual downfall in the console market as third parties began to lose faith in Sega. In this Episode, the nerd picks up from where he left off with the Sega CD to look into this worthless parasite of the Sega Genesis. Just how bad is the 32x? Watch to find out.

this is the commenti i was looking for

Crazy to think youre prob in HS now

"When did the idea of simple convenience become obsolete."
I still use this line in arguments, thanks James!
I think of this line in many situations even today.
It’s convenient to keep the boxes the games came in
Like local multiplayer somehow becoming a thing of the past. Want to invite a friend over and throw on a game that you can enjoy with local split screen co-OP? Ha! It's the eighth generation bro.
@@PlanetShlorpian There's still local co-op games being made in PC, console, and even the arcade. There's even Steam with online support for local co-op games by giving them remote access. So I wouldn't really call local multiplayer as a thing in the past.
.
Keep in mind that not many people are able to huddle up a single screen and just prefer having a big individual screen. Back then, if we had a choice we would take that route.
There's also the case where people are just too distant from each other and online is more convenient than physically being there, this is true for having friends overseas.
Oh did I hear someone need a smart device?
Which is device that somehow need you to have mobile and WiFi to even function

I honestly like it better when James edits his videos like this. Simple, funny and effective.
The best part of this Nerd video is not even about the 32X, but instead the rant about labels and power plugs.
Perhaps this gave him the inspiration for YKWBS.
NekoBoyOfficial I'm pretty sure it already existed before. In fact, the "mountain of cacadookie" picture is from the opening animation.
IronDawg I love this bit "That poor Genesis is just thinkin' "Oh dear God, take this shit off me!" xD
I've been wondering whether to get the AVGN movie :)

@@tartrazine5 I think he likes it ;3
You can literally hear his anger escalate throughout the video, especially when he's talking about the power supplies.
I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t be upset at _multiple_ home consoles using wall-wart AC adapters that waste socket space.
Back when James knew how to act... just be himself and be natural
Reminds me of his Batman Forever review where he raged so hard that the audio started clipping.

Kieran Tobin PS4 doesn't have one... just say'in...
#PS4BEASTMODE
***** No, it is ass. Not because of the games or controllers, so far those are okay. It's the system itself. Why don't I like it? It lacks backwards compatibility. The PS3 had it, why not the 4?
Jon Kelley The way the new gen consoles were made. They had to sacrifice backwards compatibility. The PS4 and X-Box One are made more like PCs and thus, can not read the previous discs due to how the last generation consoles were produced. It is a technical issue that allows the newer generation more processing power and such.
Jon Kelley Just get/keep a PS3. Problem solved.
I don't have a 'problem' with backward compatibility. I own all platforms.
"we live in the year 2007"
Boy does that make me feel old
***** Yeah 9 years ago. It's like it was just the other day.
That's less than half my life
I feel even older knowing that. It'll catch up to that mark in due time, but fuck man
Actually 2007 feels somewhat new to me and I'm not afraid to admit that.
Jack Betts Wish youtube made a feature where you could see the oldest comments on that video
Michael Pierce I remember getting God of War II back in early 2007. Great memories, but I also remember it like it was yesterday, so I can't believe that was practically 10 years ago
Me in 2012: Why is this guy destroying a 32X for $2.50?
Me in 2020: James has extremely amazing aim.
Yard Sales and Flea Markets from 2003 - 2012 could sometimes be awesome for retro games then, but the kicker is that *nobody cared about them then* except a rare few people. There *wasn't* a market for them.
We didn't think James would get any more badass when he shot the 32X with a bow and arrow. But then over 10 years later, he destroys an Amiga 32 with a fucking flamethrower. That's how fucking awesome he is.
It was James's father-in-law who shot the arrow. But I agree that James is badass 😎

This is one of the best written episodes Rolfe has ever made.
Yep
Absolutely. Without question a top ten AVGN episode of all time.
What about castlevania part 4 though love that one
The power adaptor scene is the funniest thing he's ever written. I laugh every time.
Yeah
The Doom soundtrack on the 32x sounds like someone farting.
Debateable.
Speaking of Doom I just got the Slayer collection with Doom 1 Doom 2 Doom 3 and Doom 2016 and I got Doom Eternal yay the day it just came out
Lol
Doo.
So does Primal Rage.
That back and forth with the Doom music. It's actually amazing how much worse the 32x version sounded.
I love how Nerd episodes hold up no matter how old
Hey at least Star Wars in the Sega 32x didn’t offer micro transactions.
Every App ever and it isn't like a simple $5 here or a $2.99 there. It is more like a 49.99 here and a $99 here and a $159 there. Basically, it is all overpriced as hell and and it is impossible to progress without doing so unless you want to spend a decade trying to survive long enough to level something up, unless it isn't an RTS game(You get farmed if you aren't rich), but some rules still apply. For example, a new item to equip and give you better stats, but it is only available in the micro-transaction shop and it takes forever to even get it, because they don't make it that simple.
Andrew Schmitt, Sega 32x itself was a microtransaction.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man, that’s too ture
Andrew Schmitt. Star Wars on 32X is better than two modern Battlefront's, but it's still a pile of donkey dicks.
Lesson of the day: if the next big thing comes up and you don’t like it, *don’t demand it.*
We live in the year 2007.. how weird does that sound :)
Zero, Blood Dragon was set in a weird-ass parody of the 80s...

That rant about the power cables is basically a mini YKWB episode.
Dear James and everyone involved in the production of this awesome show. Thank you more than you can imagine.
9 years later and we still have those stupid wire boxes
you have to power it
+Christian Farley hhahhahahahahahaha
+RGS Haha I was just to type "Here nearly a decade later and my ps4 controller station came with a box" and then thought to see if anyone else had posted something similar. Not surprised.
Really, boxes are still extremely common.
+ValensBellator Know why? Because having the box in the middle means another spot where a wire can snap. And they're needed, they're transformers. If you wanna blame anyone, blame Edison for even convincing anyone that his power was better than Tesla's.
Say what? People recognized that Tesla's alternating current was superior over a century ago, what would that have to do with today's wiring?
What happened at the end??? Who would ruin a perfectly good , perfectly functioning, perfectly sellable milk crate?!?

"Sega made the 32x to increase the lifespan of the Genesis, and that's exactly what the frickin' thing looks like - it's on life support." Lol
I wonder if there are people who watched him from 2007 all the way to 2019, this guy was so many people's childhoods

I've been watching since he was the Angry Nintendo Nerd.
I have watched the videos of Mr. ROLFE since 2004 or 2005.
I have been watching him since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle review went on RUclips, so even earlier than 2007. I found him by complete happenstance and have been a devout fan of his, as a person and creator, ever since.
Seriously? 10 years later and we're not talking about AVGN's amazing bow skills? How soon we forget...
He actually revealed in a bonus feature that his wife's dad shot the bow
Makes me want to see AVGN in an episode of Death Battle now xD
2:31 When I was a kid I wrote the game titles on top of my N64 cartridges with a sharpee.
This video must've been of extremely high quality back then, and still very watchable in 2020
such insane content quality for a 9 year old video
To be fair, so were these videos. GT hosted them, and probably continued to do so until they shut down.

Game I'd play on the 32x
1. Knuckles chaotix
Yep that's it
Raymond Otero don’t forget kalibri, Virtua fighter 2 and Virtua Racing.
Why I asked for one for Christmas 2003. The game didn't work but the _system_ was to blame even though it was then new old stock. Turns out, you unscrew the top and re-seat the two white ribbon cables. Mine was so bad that I didn't keep the top on.
Oh and I ended up buying several copies of Chaotix before I realized this.
I own virtual fighter in saturn and I only play it with the fight pad
SCREW YOU ALL!! Cosmic Carnage was the shit!!!
What's crazy to me is this video is older now than the 32X was when he made this episode.
This is blowing my mind

Including this one.
nah, they comment "we live in 2007"
Stupid 2000s childrens.fuck em!
1:36 The RF shields for the 32X & CD aren’t required for either model. It’s just there cause Sega was scared of interference. Only piece of metal you need is just the CD’s joining plate to mount the Genesis to it
As for the plugs, today you’re able to avoid that BS by getting a TRIO AC adapter
Also, TerraOnion released a flashcart called the MegaSD that has the tech to run Genesis, CD, & 32X games (not sure about the CD 32X games though). Makes for a better method to homebrew. Hell, Pier Solar was mind blowing to most for enhancing the audio
Another thing worth mentioning, there’s now reproductions of Sega CD games. I managed to get my hands on Snatcher for like $50 that’s like a normal cib copy
5:26 32x Doom Music

Did you guys know that they took the end labels away from N64 games because Nintendo wanted to discourage throwing the boxes away?
MisterBoners i think it would have been better if the boxes weren't huge. i know that the games were big and the boxes too but at least make the box smaller
i think if the boxes weren't made out of cardboard people would've probably kept more of em
MisterBoners but the sega genesis had reusable cases and end labels, nintendo could of made reusable cases like the sega genesis
Must've been the same thing with the Super Famicom cartridges. No end labels on them either, so if you lived in Japan or Europe, you had to put up with that before the 32X came out. Too bad James didn't have any for comparison in this video.
@AlienMyth64 If they modeled them after Odyssey 2 boxes _that_ would have worked; I had MANY Ody2 boxes (out of all the Ody2 games I actually owned, maybe 50 games counting duplicates) when collecting from 2003 - 2009.

You mean to say that you have a Fire-hazard in the making?
That's the way they all are in Ireland. It's probably because plugs are shaped differently here and wouldn't fit otherwise.

LOST! as a kid, i FREAKED
that means you needed a new save battery I never had issues with playing genesis games on the 32x
The 32X was apparently an idea born from the idea that the Atari Jaguar was a threat to Sega somehow.
I just, Sega, I love you to death I grew up with the Genesis but, my god, you just make me facepalm so hard with the 32X it's unreal.
Sega made console "upgrades" and "add-ons" a laughing stock. Atari played "follow the leader".
Ever see anything on modern consoles beyond game storage user changes?
Meanwhile, on PCs (especially HTPCs with wireless game controllers)....
Aren't the Xbox kinect and PlayStation move and VR "add-ons?"
Well the 32X came from the idea of making SEGA Neptune cheaper.
Originally the Neptune was going to be the next SEGA console so they had an idea to make a cheaper version for people that already own a Mega Drive

The reason behind skimping out on the edge labels: Production costs.
It tokk quite an advanced machine or human workforce to attach these "over the edge" labels.
By skipping the edge label, going for a simple one side label, they could use simple labeling machines to a fraction of the cost of the previous label methods.
But did that make games cheaper?. No!
Guess where the money went?

My guess why Doom on the 32x music didn't match up to the SNES is that the 32x was using the Genesis's soundcard. But that's just my guess.
