Today, let’s take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a little “What if…?” scenario. Remember the Sega 32X? It was this ambitious add-on for the Sega Genesis that aimed to catapult the beloved console into next-gen territory. While it didn’t quite hit its mark, it left us wondering: what other classic consoles could have benefited from a similar leap forward?
Let’s imagine—what if the N64 had gotten an “N128” upgrade? Could it have kept up with the PS1 and Saturn in that fierce console war era? Or maybe there’s another platform itching for a second wind, like the SNES or even the beloved Game Boy!
What other consoles do you think should’ve received their own “next-gen” add-ons?
SuperFX games were much more streamlined in their use. You didn’t have to know that a game had SuperFX, or even know what that was, to play the game. You didn’t need to buy a new piece of hardware that was only good for a few games, which was the biggest factor.
Console add-ons are often attempted and rarely (never?) successful.
