Play Value - Failed Consoles - Part Two

Another poorly researched video. There was never a Castlevania game for TG-16. If you are going to mention the Japanese Super-CD PC-Engine game "Dracula X: Chi no Rondo", then you should also point out that the TG-16(Pc-Engine) was one of the most successful systems ever released in Japan. The CD-Rom add-on for the TG-16 was not difficult to find as stated by your actors. While it was expensive, and hardly any games were released for it, it was always available on the shelves at any Toys-R-Us. The Sega-CD add-on actually did make the Genesis much more powerful, contrary to what is reported in this video. The Sega-CD added a MC68000 CPU @ 12.5 MHz with hardware scaling and rotation to supplement or work in tandem with the Genesis's internal 7.67 MHz CPU. The sound hardware is also more powerful in the Sega-CD, adding 8-channels PCM sound, along with (of course) Red Book cd-audio streamed from the disc. Granted very few games were programmed specifically for the Sega-CD (as most were simply upgrades from a Genesis/Mega-Drive programmed game) but the few that were; Batman Returns, Soul Star, Thunder Strike, and Eternal Champions CD, among others, clearly show that the Sega-CD added significantly to the "power" of the Genesis.

Play Value - The Death of Arcades
Well produced, but poorly researched and unsubstantiated opinion really does a disservice toward presenting a history of videogaming.
