Me too, but I honestly believe it should have an online market like the Neptune. Why has nobody thought of this before? In the modern day, it’s much smarter to provide a centralized location to buy games, like the Switch. I understand cartridges are more nostalgic and authentic, but you literally can just make an online store like that too. I think it’s a smart idea!
That GF1 Neptune and super sega caughts my interest ! super sega console concept looks a bit weird of how they look but supporting all these old games on cartridges and CD/GD ROM disc on one console is impressive I would love to see the result
The GF1 is interesting as hell. They've mentioned that if it does well they intend to do expansion modules. It's very possible those modules would end up giving you the same functionality as that sega super systems. Either way it's pretty neat. Hope they end up seeing the light of day and at a not terrible price point.
If it can accept Genesis carts, it should be already be able to accept the various Master System adapters. You'd just have to modify a Power Base if you wanted to use it. I don't know enough about FPGA, but I think it should be as easy as a firmware update if it doesn't already work. The Genesis was just a Master System with a beefier graphics processor, after all, implying that any FPGA clone should already have the ability to process MS games. Being able to run the rest via modules would be pretty sweet, though.
@@spittertron4920: The Genesis was a bit more than that (second stronger CPU, arbitration logic, skipped one of the Power Base sound chips, dropped the "classic" graphics modes), but valid point.
I'd happily drop on both those consoles. The Neptune looks awesome. I agree the Supersega is a bit iffy looking but it'd be good to have an all in one under the TV. The concerns are valid though. Will monitor the projects though
I like the idea: finally a Neptune. But I fear it’s just too late. And those who want original hardware, although FPGA, still not original hardware. AND to boot, FPGA usually means $$. Which we go back to “just buying original hardware it that’s the case”. I’ve never owned a 32x, played one a couple times, but I’m sure emulation should be “accurate enough”
I think if you approach it by the "cost of the package," it doesn't sound too bad. Like, a Mega Drive in good condition + a 32X + a good HDMI upscaler can cost quite a bit, which gives the GF1 the opportunity to undercut that combo, even if it uses FPGA. The bigger problem here is the 32X appeal, which is basically zero for most people. The system has 40 games, but only 4 or 5 are actually worth playing, so I would just ignore the 32X completely if I wanted to buy the real hardware, to be honest. It feels like that the company behind it made a Neptune just because of the "wow factor" and didn't think about the system library but time will tell if they're actually going to release new games that make use of the 32X.
"With turbo handling!" You'll find that specific animated Movie is referenced a number of times here at the SEGAGuys, since we're also massive fans of Transformers - Dan
I personally will get only the "GF1 Neptune" the company behind the production has many years on experience on modding consoles and technical services and so on. The "GF1 Neptune" will have the connector to the Sega CD addon and will be 1080P with HDMI. It looks very promising and they releases a work in progress video, they will also release brand new 32X and Genesis games.
I totally avoided the 32X. I knew Saturn was coming so there was no point in getting it unless there was a library of games that would change my mind. Unfortunately, there are only a few games nowadays that I would actually play and I can do that through emulation. It was a bad move by SEGA to put it out. They should have focused on releasing great Genesis games that took advantage of all the unlocked potential that the console was known for near the end of its run. Or put more effort into the SEGA CD instead of those bad FMV games. They screwed up bad by putting out two pricey peripherals that were not supported adequately. I got the CD addon after it was dropped for a much lower price and started getting the games. What a waste of potential.
Whichever one everybody gets, I’m getting, I’m undecided, and excited for both. The superSega personally is dreamy, with how it attempts to perfectly emulate all consoles, I also like the nod shown to the Mark III in the design. Meanwhile, the crowd thinks the GF1 Neptune is much more realistic, will probably release earlier or be cheaper, and I really like the concept of it having a Game store. I think FPGA consoles should try to put modern twists on some features more. I’m pretty sure the retroUSB AVS has online leaderboards for example. Lastly I also like how it’s sort of like a revival of the vaults, being a remake of a prototype console that never got used. Interesting concept. Neither the less I’m very excited for both!
I kinda always thought the Neptune had a badass look to it. Like it could have walked up to the N64 and mean mugged it while N64 has a stare down them tries to make the Neptune flinch, to no avail.
I’m not sure why so many people hate on this console. Yes, it was a poor business decision. Yes, everything about it is utterly over the top. Yes it’s completely useless without a Sega Genesis to mount it too. However, My 1st console was a Genesis. I never got a CD or 32X for myself as a kid but had several friends who did. I can remember a few months of playing Mortal Kombat 2, Knuckles, Doom, and several sports games with a friend who broke his leg. Those games looked better than any other games at the time. This also includes what little footage we had seen of the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation. Yes it honestly looked better than early PS1 game footage. I think most of the hate comes from the sticker shock of trying to collect for this underrated console that never got to see it’s full potential.
Gf1 Neptune looks really promising. The idea of making the Sega Neptune a real project is fantastic😍 although with another name. The Supersega project sounds great in theory. But i am very sceptic and i do not believe this will actually be produced.
I rather see SEGA 💙 doing something similar and make it official. But we need more focus on 3D Sega games, especially the never released on consoles, arcade games. There are plenty ways to play any of the 2D Sega games 💙
On the Polymega, as far as I'm aware... it's a lot of software emulation more than anything... and dumps your roms and never reads them off the original media, like the likes of a RetroN5.
But it will be, objectively, because both of these consoles integrate the Genesis hardware, and some more console hardware with it, and they have modern features on top.
I always found the bonus levels on chaotix to be rather insulting. Because they show what the 32X SHOULD be doing instead of just a boring side scroller. I've heard some say Chaotix used the 32X for fancy colors on the 2D levels. WHOOPTY DOO!!! I can hardly notice the difference. That has to be the most boring niche feature they could've used the 32X for.
The SuperSega is vaporware nonsense. There's no evidence of a Dreamcast FPGA core anywhere near the level they're claiming and the "test footage" they just released is conspicuously missing any DC games (they claim it's still a "few weeks" off). They're answering "maybe" to obvious stuff like whether the optical drive will be able to read GD-ROMs (the answer is "no," since only a tiny handful of off-the-shelf drives could and they're all long out of production) or whether it'll be able to load Saturn and DC games from flash (in light of the last point, it'd better, unless they expect everyone to play their DC games from burned CDs of Echelon releases). They're still acting like they have a snowball's chance in hell of getting Sega's approval and shamelessly slapping the Sega name and logo all over the promotional materials. The chipset they're claiming to use sells for around $10,000 and yet they're saying this thing will come in under 500. The guy's last venture (Cinemartin) established a pretty clear predilection for promising big and delivering nothing, and I'll eat my hat if this turns out otherwise.
Im that wierd guy who is a 32x defender and really wish the console got more support and better cable management
So did eternal champion creator who worked on virtua fighter 32x
Me too. I’m looking forward to the GF1 Neptune. Would absolutely love if Analogue made a system with built in support for 32X and Sega CD.
Your spelling is WEIRD*
@@DDavEE neptune is a 32x lol. And sega cd fgpa is available on everdrive cart or use expand port side neptune if you have sega cd.
Me too love 32x
The Supersega looks insane. I'd love that dream to come true.

I'm interested, always liked the idea of the Neptune vs what Sega actually did
I'm going to 3D print my own Neptune case and use FPGA. 😁
Thanks for the video. Also, I got to see the prototype 32X when I was with VGA magazine. 🙂
That's awesome, I'd have loved to have seen one in the flesh- Dan

Now completely merge the Genesis, the *Mega CD* and the 32X together into one seamless, fluid, coherent system.
There’s always a possibility yes I am interested
Not bad kind of interested in both as I love the 32x
The GF1 Neptune looks awesome!
Here's hoping that these devices will make devs be willing to put more time into 32X homebrew!
That's not a Sega licensed hardware (unfortunately). But if Gamescare manages to pull it off, that would be awesome.
Man, tho , the shipping from Brazil or Spain , would have to be pricey 😮
Not exactly all in one if it doesn't run 32X and Game Gear carts.
This looks interesting....
This is everything I hoped the Analogue Mega-SG would be. sold.
i tihnk its doable but they will get chased for copyright i imagine. i like the idea of a unit that just plays everything Sega though.
Same, one unit hooked up would be so convenient!
@@SEGAGuysour dream project since 2002 😆
Doubt it, seeing as how Sega's patents on the Genesis and 32X have expired.
I think Sega should make a new console or do a Saturn and Dreamcast Mini
the multimega should have had the ability to play 32x games the same way it could play u.s and jpn carts

the polymega is NOT fpga bro
it is a bait-and-switch piece of junk
Surprised he didn’t point that out. They switched to emulation last minute 😂
Very interesting…
what if sonic and tails used Quantum entangled power rings in Sonic 2. If the zone calls for it the player can achieve sub super sonic speeds
It won't be better then the Sega genesis im sticking to the genesis
But it will be, objectively, because both of these consoles integrate the Genesis hardware, and some more console hardware with it, and they have modern features on top.
@reesetube it can have all the features it wants but it will won't top the Sega genesis
excellent video but the sound effects where a tad distracting ^-^
sega had a missed oppurtunity to release the mega sega
