Sega was not alone in displaying very early hardware - the PlayStation, in slightly better shape, was also there with a range of barely-playable software, but unlike Sega was in a position to boast about the large number of Japanese third-party developers on its side. Also at the show were prototype versions of [[NEC]]'s PC-FX, [[Bandai]]'s Playdia (at the time known as the BA-X) and [[SNK]]'s Neo Geo CD. | Sega was not alone in displaying very early hardware - the PlayStation, in slightly better shape, was also there with a range of barely-playable software, but unlike Sega was in a position to boast about the large number of Japanese third-party developers on its side.

This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.
The Tokyo Toy Show 1994 (東京おもちゃショー 1994).
This was the event in which the Sega Saturn was first demonstrated, albeit in a very rough form. The console itself was not playable - only a hacked together build of Virtua Fighter could be played on prototype Saturn hardware - a PCB not yet simplified to fit in the console's shell. Everything else was shown as little more than tech demos, or pre-rendered footage. Likewise the Sega 32X was also on show, in a more finalised, but still early state.
Sega was not alone in displaying very early hardware - the PlayStation, in slightly better shape, was also there with a range of barely-playable software, but unlike Sega was in a position to boast about the large number of Japanese third-party developers on its side. Also at the show were prototype versions of NEC's PC-FX, Bandai's Playdia (at the time known as the BA-X) and SNK's Neo Geo CD.
