HuC62 - Hudson's early 32 Bit hardware from 1992

Here's the article I have, per request of SuperGrafx16. Article courtesy of VideoGames & Computer Entertainment, October 1992:

I truly, truly, really very much wish that IronMan / Tetsujin / HuC62 had been released (along with Hi-Ten Bomberman) instead of the PC-FX.

The two hardwares are different, IronMan would've been more powerful.

did any of that tech ever go to the Dreamcast?

With the exception of the CPU, that sounds like a PC-FX.  The 6261, 6271, 6272, and 6230 are all in the PC-FX, the v810 is more powerful, and neither has dedicated 3D hardware, so I'm not sure why you'd think the prototype would be more capable.

I'll accept that I'm mistaken, then.

Maybe the plastic to make the case?

Nope, Dreamcast/Katana was designed by SEGA of Japan, Hitachi, ImgTec, Microsoft.

Only the graphics chip was manufactured by NEC, who also fabbed the GameCube and Wii GPUs.

Its funny that the FX was still full of hadoson train obey.

Hudson renamed the chips they used after their trains. Seriously.

I always wondered if that blue thing on the end of the board was a hucard connector, although I remember hearing that there's something on the pcfx that looks like it could take a hucard (haven't looked myself) but doesn't play the hucards, of course.

I wonder how much a PCE CPU cost in 1994? That seems to be the only major ingredient missing in order to achieve backwards compatibility. 3D capabilities would have been better, but b/c still would have been a major enticement to buy the system. Can you imagine how in-demand the PC-FX would be now if it played PCE-CD games with better loading times and an overall more reliable drive? And S-video?
