List of cancelled 32X games
This is a list of cancelled Sega 32X video games. The 32X was an add-on to the Sega Genesis video game console that was designed as a cheaper, more incremental hardware alternative to the Sega Saturn. However, the dwindling of the aging Genesis market and the more advanced Saturn dwarfing it led to low sales and a very brief lifespan - launched in late 1994, it was discontinued by early 1996. Many games - even Sega's own - were cancelled simply because games were not able to be finished in this short time, with games either being moved on to the Saturn, or cancelled outright. This list documents all known games that were confirmed for release for the 32X at some point, but did not end up being released for it.[1]

Die Hard Trilogy | A video game adaption of the first three Die Hard films, development originally started off for the 32X and Sega Genesis, before development shifted to the Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1, and Windows, where it released across late 1996 and early 1997, well after the 32Xs lifespan.[24] | Probe Entertainment | Fox Interactive |

Untitled Ecco the Dolphin title | Sega teased in 1994 that an entry in the Ecco the Dolphin series would release for the 32X, and publications expected it to release in 1995, but no further details ever arose on the title.[10][28] | Novotrade | Sega |

NBA Action | An entry of Sega's NBA Action series was announced for 32X. Announced in between the vastly different Sega Genesis and Sega Saturn iterations, no footage was ever released of the game, making it difficult to discern if it was a variant or original game.[46][16] | Sega Sports | Sega |
NFL Football Trivia Challenge | One of the first games announced after Capitol Multimedia signed on to be a 32X software developer was NFL Football Trivia Challenge, a game with over 1500 NFL related questions voiced by commentary Pat Summerall.

Ratchet and Bolt | Began development as early as 1991 for the Sega Genesis, but its ambition lead to it being pushed to the 32X and its stronger processing power. The game involved controlling 2 police officers, "Ratchet" and "Bolt", who would mix and match different weapon types to defeat oncoming enemies. Featured 2D characters in a 3D environment. Despite years of development, no screenshots or footage was ever shown, just unused box art. The game was one of the Sega-developed games seen as the 32X's "second-wave of software" that was cancelled upon the quick termination of the platform in early 1996.

Originally in development for the Sega CD, the developer's lack of commercial success in releasing games for the platform lead for development to be moved to the 32X and later the Sega Saturn before its ultimate cancellation. Prior to its cancellation, it had been scheduled for a late 1995 release on the Saturn, but the game had been put on hold due to its developers feeling it was too similar to other games they observed at CES 1995.
