2020 is a lot different from 1995. Trying to have the 32X compete as a "low-budget upgrade" for customers who didn't want to spend the full price for a Saturn is perhaps one of the most idiotic moves in video game history. These days a lot of gamers want to buy games for older hardware. They wouldn't be competing against Switch products the way that the 32X was competing against the Saturn. I would say a better example would be if I had suggested Nintendo start releasing Wii U games to compete against the Switch.

Yes Brazilians may not have had as many choices but still, if they enjoy playing 8 bit games well into the 2000s, it stands to reason that non-Brazilians would as well, more choices notwithstanding.

I cant comment on the "untranslated" thing, I have no idea what youre even referring to or why you think someone would be saying that they shouldnt translate games.

I think a lot of people dont realize how popular vintage games are. Old video game tech has seen a resurgence lately in the same way that vinyl has. people drop thousands of dollars on old cartridges and to this day, Super Mario Bros for the NES still sells online every day
