| − | '''Sega Neptune''' was a two-in-one [[Sega Mega Drive/Genesis]] and [[Sega 32X]] console that [[Sega]] planned to make.

| − | Sega had admitted how expensive and problematic the 32X was. Sega decided to make a combined version of the Mega Drive/Genesis and 32X, which they felt was a better idea. However, by the time a prototype came out, the [[Sega Saturn]] was ready for release. Sega felt that gamers would now not be interested in the Sega Neptune, if it had been released, so the project was scrapped.

| − | Had the Neptune been released, it would have been available for $400.

| − | In 2001, gaming magazine EGM announced that prototype copies of the Neptune had been found at a warehouse and were up for sale to the public (via the now defunct [http://www.seganeptune.com Seganeptune.com] website). This was an April Fool's joke, but generated a lot of buzz amongst the Sega community.
