Virtual Boy Vs Sega 32X

32X, because it would complete my Sega Voltron, lol. I already have the Genesis itself, the Sega CD, and the Power Base Converter, all I need now is the 32X to form the head!

That, and 32X doesn't give me headaches, Virtual Boy does.

the 32X is horrible?

I would pick the 32X, more games that I would want, and the other issue is that the Virtual Boy wasn't even released here , meaning I would have to import one from the US (or see if any UK based websites sell them as imports) , which would be cumbersome and expensive.

Actually the 32X wasn't that bad just the games weren't very good. But the Virtual Boy would be better off as a new version of the Game Boy rather than a standalone console.

I'd buy a 32X because Virtua Racing Deluxe >>> entire VB library. :P 3D gaming also make my eyes and head hurt. :(ChrisMichaeIs

since theres a better versionof vb out-3ds that doesnt give headaches and has awsome games id get a 32x

If you had to choose 1 of these horrible systems which would it be & why?Tony-Baxter

Just found my Genesis, AND my 32x, so I guess you know which side I dress to... And obviously, I have it for "DOOM 32x", "Virtua Fighter", and "Virtua Racing". Also in the box with said hardware was my PS1 "Konami Arcade Classics" with TIME PILOT!!!! Hurray for house-cleaning!!!

Saturn version was better. The 32X one looks very blocky.

I did buy the 32x -I liked Doom, Star Wars, and Virtua Racing There is nothing I liked about the VBrawsavon

I actually wanted a 32X (which is called the Mega 32X here) , but its pretty expensive, ive seen consoles going for £80-120 , and the European ones in particular are rarer.

and as far as I know, I can't use a US 32X with my PAL Mega Drive .

I had a model 1 genesis on top of a model 1 sega cd + I had to use these little metal clamps to attach the 32x (b/c I had an 'old' genesis model)
...not the best design choice LOL

I think Sega went downhill after the Mega Drive in general. They had too many consoles on the market and hard competition from Sony and Nintendo so they were basically pushed out of the console market. The DC was also practically dead when the PS2 launched with barely any game choice in game stores and super markets.

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] They ended up being very cheap soon after launch here

it certainly is more attractive and more compact, but the main issue is the mechanised CD tray, you know as well as I do , those things are more prone to breakig then a simple spring loaded door like on the model 2. this is also one of the reasons I bought an FZ-10 3DO as opposed to the FZ-1

At first he was jealous b/c mine looked so much cooler and more expensive/high-cIass (for the time)...that did not last long

I never get any issues like the thing works just fine.

the same goes for the 3DO , I have the FZ10 , which isnt really as good looking as the front loading FZ-1 , but I would think it works better.

only 2 consoles I own give me issues. the PS2 I have (one of the older 3000 series PS2s) and my Master System , which has some issues with recognising cartridges, forcing me to keep on reinserting the cartridge until the thing decides it wants to work.

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] no no , mine is the model 2 , which probably explains why it still works.Darkman2007

from what I hear, the goldstar 3DO is well known to have various issues with it compared to the Panasonic FZ1 and FZ10

same as the one I have, not too shabby, though the FZ1 is still the better looking system

If I had to choose between these 2. I'd go with The Virtual boy. It is the only NintendoSystem I have neverplayed.

its a good design , there are certainly worse looking systems

i dont think you could pay me to own a Virtual Boy. On the other hand I got the 32x for christmas in 94. I actually liked it a lot, back then, and it's ok sometimes now. I played Virtua Racing and StarWars Arcade to death as a kid, because I couldnt find any other 32x games and I didnt't have the money to get an SNES or Saturn. But over a few years (2008 - 2010) i finally got used copies of Doom, Shadow Squadron, Metal Head, Kolibri, NBA Jam TE, Toughman contest and WWF Wrestling.

Virtual boy is the only console (portable?) that I can think of has even fewer good games. That horrible black and red screen.....makes your head just spin and want to throw the contraption out the window or onto the ground. VB = epic failure, 32x should have just come out a year earlier and got more quality games.

Ironically the Virtual Boy sold better than the 32X :P

But I also think it failed and would be better off as a new version of the Game Boy (Wario Land VB wasn't shabby).

I think it has more to do with famous license (i.e. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, ect.) rather than the Nintendo logo itself ;)

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] of course, but you can't deny people are more likely to buy a product simply because it says Nintendo on it. thats why people buy consoles at launch or even pre order it beforehandDarkman2007

Actually the Genesis was outselling the SNES in the U.S. for a while. During the early to mid 90s Nintendo and Sega was neck and neck in the U.S.
