The 32x wasn't marketed or priced as a budget option. That the Saturn and PlayStation both launched in Japan at ludicrously expensive prices made it look like one, but those initial prices were halved for the US launch, and then halved again during the price wars of the next several months. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by desudesu I mean, the idea was sound at some point. I know the origin was because americans were all "Look, we LIKE our Genesis, can we move forward into the 21st century with something affordable and backwards-compatible?". The project just kept going after it STOPPED making sense. It definitely didn't make sense once the Saturn was announced, as no company wants to split their market between two systems. One will always be the orphan(as the 32x was, with literally zero games available for a week after launch). Had it become Sega's actual "next-gen" platform, I think 32x CD games and the 6-button controller would've become the standard at some point. In truth, something between the 32x and Saturn would've been ideal. More powerful than the 32x, cheaper to make than the Saturn, and Genesis-compatible. Truthfully, Genesis compatibility alone would've given the Saturn as it exists in reality a huge leg up in the fight against Sony. Sega Japan didn't understand that their american customers were serious about the Genesis. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by tomman I don't believe it supports it. What it does support is using xinput devices as vibrators. You can strap them to your body while playing, and if you're using VR controllers you have 4 pads for tactile feedback instead of 3. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

The appropriate time to use GIF has long been "never", but people refuse to let go of the sins of the past. The same refusal to let go of those sins is what killed MNG, as it was starting to see uptake when Mozilla ripped out all support in favor of an ugly hack that attempted to recreate all the flaws of animated GIFs in PNG (while describing these flaws as features). That said, I think Google's biggest mistake here is that their primary target is actually JPEG. JPEG is one of those formats that was weirdly ahead of its time, and you need to bring a LOT to the table to dethrone it(ask JPEG2000). Taking swings at GIF is a lot easier, though "just serve a video file and advertise it as a GIF so the user gets an auto-looping animation with no controls" is the worst solution. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by desudesu It reminds me of the original Transformers boxes. Because that's what it's homaging, and I tore more than one of 'em open in my day. Though grid patterns were also a staple of Sega package design in the 80s and early 90s. I did love the change of the original catchphrase from "more than meets the eye" to "exactly what it seems". ... There's an interesting discussion to be had around the fact that it is specifically a Decepticon box. They DO say money is the root of all evil... --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by desudesuThey're (almost) all quite good replicas of vintage toy cards.

So I just learned there's an anime coming out in April titled "Fuuto PI". As the name might imply, it is the latest sequel to Kamen Rider Doubleā and the first in quite a while. And they appear to have gotten everyone back, including Philip. So it'll actually have Double in it instead of Joker! I'm pretty excited for more Double, but not near as excited as Shotaro's actor is. He's made no secret of the fact that being a Kamen Rider was basically his dream job. Apparently part of the reason Double's had so many sequels is he's been running a one-man campaign to get him in Kamen Rider again ever since the series ended. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |
