Sega Jupiter - Cancelled Consoles - Sega Solar System - THGM 

I got teased at school for having large camera case for my game gear back in 1998 everyone shut up when i started playing sonic while everyone was still playing black and white pokemon

I fell in love with the SEGA Neptune when i first saw it in the pages of EGM. It's such a shame it never came out!

The STV Titian was released in North America with Die Hard Arcade. I've been in the Arcade business since 1989 and have worked on those machines.

The Sega STV was actually released worldwide and was quite prevalent in North America

if the saturn was backwards compatible with megadrive,32x, and sega cd it would have been a videogame powerhouse that people would have wanted and would have definitely put pressure on sony offering a library of over already 1000 backwards compatible games at release. Think about that.

Terrestrial - təˈrɛstrɪəl adjective: on or relating to the earth.

I would have loved a Dreamcast 2.

You can get a power supply that will power the MD, MCD and 32x from one plug. I don’t know who put it out, but I know MLiG did a video on it in their tricks and tips series.

Mercury! Mars! Jupiter! Venus! Uranus! Neptune! Pluto! Saturn! Power! Make Up!

Is that a very young David Mitchell in that advert at 4:51

Great video Top Hat! I loved my Sega GameGear back in the 90s. I also had a Game Boy, but my father played it continuously with Tetris haha. I know a lot about the videogames industry but its nice to hear and see something I didn't know before! Keep up the good work!

Wat? Wasn't Sega Earth the Sega CD?

Sega Names Their Consoles After Planets

dreamcast is the best i programed for it.. 80% of games were in straight C not one game was using it's full power.. that's a fact no sh4 asm just C it was much more powerfull then people know.. At the end of it's normal life games done in sh4 asm would of looked like ps2 game at the end of it's life.. it was just never used..slowdown on dreamcast games is due to using straight C not the machine..

You should try to procure a Wondermega RG-M1. It's the Rolls-Royce of Sega consoles. The cd lid is power opening/closing with LED accent lights surrounding it, enhanced audio processing with selectable effects, s-video output, MIDI output, karaoke with 2 mike inputs and effects, headphone jack. I scored one for a good deal because the power opening cd lid wasn't working and all it needed was a new belt.

Man I hope Knuckles Chaotix gets ported to the Switch. YEAHHHHH

Sega Uranus is my favorite Sega console that never came to be.

I'd really liked to have seen the Neptune released. I'm really fond of the Saturn. Big thanks for playing Nights music in background. Sega really knew how to make music and Nights, and Christmas Nights into Dreams is some of my Sega favs.

The Sega Uranus is an unreleased Sega Genesis add-on that lets you play your library of Nintendo and Super Nintendo games on your Sega Genesis. Only one was ever made, and Yuji Naka owns it! :D

Surprised the name *Solar System* hasn’t already been used in some other form by Game Companies

I remember years ago reading STC magazine. It had a sort of exclusive on the Saturn. Which was like a hidden treasure at the time. Then the even more hidden treasure was the Jupiter. I am going from my memory. But if I remember right. The Saturn was going to be 32 bit and the Jupiter would come out a few years later as a sort of premium version of the Saturn at either 64 or 128 bit.

I'm partial to the Dreamcast, personally. First Sega console beyond the Game Gear I actually had. I was always a Sega fan growing up but familial compromise dictated that my family was a Nintendo family. I've since gotten into the Sega fold more properly, and as much as I've grown to love the Saturn, the Dreamcast takes the cake for me.

But what about the Sega Multi-Mega?

I was just feeling a bit depressed you’re videos always make me feel better

The Sega Uranus would have been so powerful that it would destroy all of its rivals. In the aftermath, you could say that it had wrecked 'em.

I ordered an AC adapter that has all 3 Genesis/32x/Sega CD on 1 plug. It's supposed to be a more efficient power source as well. Retrogamecave has them if you're interested.

Just subscribed . Great videos and finally someone who knows his stuff!

The Sega Earth was an add on using Laserdisc technology; it was a predecessor to the Mega CD that was meant to be produced by Sega and Pioneer. Likewise, "Uranus" in the Japanese language sounds like "Uranu", which is "Won't Sell"; THAT'S why Sega never *used* it.

I always thought that Sega missed a mark by not making a Mega CD 32X unified peripheral. I was frankly surprised that Saturn and Dreamcast did not feature any backwards compatibility, considering how much interest still existed in Sega games at that time!

why from 10:07 till the end is that crazy man attacking children rofl

Game reviews with a touch of class. -You can use this Top Hat it has a nice ring to it. ;)

My 32x literally only requires one power supply. It's just a regular model 2 power supply, at that. If I plug in a second power supply, the Genesis won't turn off, and really doesn't work quite right.

Sega should have brought out a Sega Moon, then bought the rights to Sailormoon... they had almost every other guardian on the list (except Uranus, that's the cartridge slot you see if you bend over towards the mirror)

I still don’t believe we lost sega (mostly)

I really liked this. It seemed like a good change of pace from the usual, and you had the perfect SEGA BGM for it all. Good info too because I had never heard of Project Janus before. Naming all their consoles after the planets was just the perfect sprinkling of corporate bullshit to add that extra layer of magic SEGA had.

2:26 Great death stare Luigi.

Here's an idea; merge the Sega Pico and the Sega Picture Magic *together!* See how well THAT sells...

Sad we will never see the Sega Uranus.

I kind of wish the Saturn was reverse compatible with Genesis/Megadrive, Sega CD and 32X games. The hardware probably wasn't there yet but it would have been nice to be able to do so.

I'm just happy to have the Megadrive. The only time it felt as if Sega knew what they wanted and where they were going with it.

What has happened with the game consoles of the past is what is happening with VR, its hard to really want to invest in one because you are not sure which one will stand the test of time, plus I think the graphics and UI need to improve fairly dramatically for them to be an everyday thing.

Why did the Saturn ad consist of a Karate Man beating up kids?

I really want a nomad. Have yet to find one. Great vid though, THGM.

"Terrestrial entities"?? Don't you mean "celestial bodies"?

The Nomad and a 32 x both have the planet name on the motherboard

If Earth in the 1990s turned out to be more of a PlayStation planet, could've Project Earth been another console to counter the PS1 or the codename for a PlayStation console?

Am I imagining things with your subscriber count? I'm sure it was in single digits for thousands when I subbed! You seem to be going viral!

So we have The Sega CD,32X,Saturn,Neptune,Jupiter, and Pluto. Wow! Sega wasted so much money.

Neptune isn't a terrestrial planet. It's made of gas.

I was going to ask about Dreamcast, but it looks not to have had a celestial name. Looks like it was known as "Whitebelt", then "Dural", and finally "Katana". If Wikipedia is accurate.

I would have loved to see the Sega Pluto

I'm suprise saturn never had cart games and more rom/cart for their fighting games especially in NA. Jupiter idea was much better stop gap console than the 32x.

Great video

Always said that Nintendo and Sega missed a trick with the Saturn and N64 by not making them backwards compatible. They had cartridge slots so why the fuck not!

I loved the 32x. Doom 32x was great, as was Star Wars Arcade

How about videos on the Sega systems before the genesis/mega drive? There were quiet a few as well.

They really should have went with the Neptune for the 32x right off the bat. Would have saved a lot of headaches and frustrations.

Yeah, but did you know Super Mario 2 was actually Doki Doki Panic in Japan?

TMGM really disappointed when Sega pulled Uranus. Ahahahahaha!

that poor nomad, becoming the slave of a "chap" overseas!

So... The Sega Pico wasn't a celestial body project?

I would like to see the one that would of become the consul to follow the mega drive (genesis).

I'll tell you why Sega didn't use the Solar System for naming their consoles because it won't be fun and games when they reach Uranus

Sega Uranus, now with Blast Processing!

I would have liked to have had the Neptune it makes more sense I don't think people were ready for the price of the Satan yet

You can get a power supply with three jacks for the Sega trifector now. Sega should not have discontinued the 32x. It was apparently very intuitive to develop for and quite powerful for 2d and 3d (comparatively). Of course the 32x is better than the SNES. It has 2 23Mhz cpus as well as the Mega Drive hardware to layer above or below. The SNES has a measly 3.5Mhz cpu. The snes really is the basket case system of the 16bit era with it fuzzy stretched out games with loads of slow down and super fuzzy sound. The 32x had 8bit 44Khz sound whearas the snes used 4bit upsampled samples at a maximum of 32Khz and only 64k as I'm sure your aware. If the 32x was kept on the market it wouldn't have affected the Saturn's sales I don't think. Like you said, the Master System was for poor people like me but I never stopped thinking it was brilliant even after I upgraded. The 32x could have served the same purpose for the following generation and with the dual SH2's and new 15bit colour VDP, it could have delivered arcade perfect ports (from the previous gen at least) and some very interesting games, given at least 4 years on the market. If the cartridges and unit came down in price, I can see it being profitable alongside the Saturn.

Breath of the wild@0:11 Top Hat! You're gonna break your weapon!

The Dreamcast is my favorite console, and I've always wanted to get a Master System. It just seemed to be heads and tails better than the NES.

You got me with that sega earth and i am not happy!!👿

What game is that, at 0:42-0:44?

Wonder if anyone started a fundraiser to sega to get back into the game. Like legitly contact Sega's big cheese got the ok for a go fund me. Would be way better than funding Atari.

Thank you I thurly enjoyed that 👍

Did seriously try to pretend as if the black n white calculator screen game boy was better built then the game gear ? Its no comparison

Uranus is pronounced "Yoo-rain-us", not "Your anus". By the way, hey, THGM? Are you familiar with the JVC X'Eye? Like the Sega CDX/Sega Mega CDX, the JVC X'Eye is a standalone 2-in-1 Sega CD/Sega Mega CD/Genesis/Mega Drive hybrid. You should make a video about the JVC X'Eye.

What no Sega Sun?!

Mega drive with Mega CD. The perfect console in my opinion.

So sega jupiter was almost a stv.

sega should release a new console now in the gaming hype everybody would buy it just for the name. Saturn i prefer the most but dreamcast is very good too. people who are into arcade have no new console ps4/xbox are the same shit and nintendo is for little children.

Wasn't the mega drive/genesis known as project earth?

I always wondered why you swing around random stuff in your intro, and hit the ground with tree branches... Is there any reason to that? A backstory perhaps ?

the saturn was segas wiiu and the master system was so poorly marketed in america that i myself had not heard of it until 2003.So what you said about sega in the past could have done what nintendo did in th 80s huh if you dont know you will not buy.

IF YOU WANNA KNOW ABOUT SPACE YOU GOTTA KNOW ABOUT THE PLANETS. IF YOU WANNA KNOW ABOUT THE PLANETS YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW. SUN MERCURUS URANUS WATER PLANET PLUNTO

Sega was ahead of it's time.

There should be a fighting game that stars all the best retro gaming RU-vidrs.

do a *i hate **_sega_** mars bars* video

I didn't love the Sega Saturn. I bought one after saving money for months from my paper route. I had it for years and only ran into a few games I thoroughly enjoyed. A Doom collection (doesn't count, it was just Doom and Doom II), Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Ghen War. Ghen War was fucking awesome and so was SFA II. I had tons of other games and they sucked my ass. I don't care what anyone says, Virtua Cop was a shit game. Zero replay value and not that fun the first time around. Virtua Fighter 1 and 2 were only fun for a little bit, until the novelty wore off after a very brief period. It, to me, was more of a Stewart from MadTV kind of system; "Look what I can do!" After that, the games didn't really have any fun factor. Pretty face and no personality kinda thing. I loved Sega with a passion, and Saturn ruined that.

Man I love your videos...

What is the video game shown at 7:16?

Xbox is really Sega and only a few know the truth. Regardless it kind of became its successor by default. Xbox is Planet X and if you know about Planet X then you know how it all makes sense as Xbox (Microsoft) came in and took over.

And i would have bought all of them lol

Saying Sega had a problem of making too many consoles is an understatement.

Hat tip

SATURN = SATaN = SAURoN = Kronos = Time = Money = Adversary . SAURoN has one ring to rule them all, and so does SATURN.

You spelled "canceled" the American way. I am disappoint in you son.

I can't be arsed to come up with a pun about the Uranus console.

So was the schtick with Sega back then was to name Thier consoles after planets?

is halleys comet gonna be a portable?

Hey THGM, am I losing my mind or do you wrestle on the British Indy scene?

saturn 4 life

I was thinking something...Kamen Rider and Power Ranger Games on Sega Consoles...oh yeah!
