These are similar to the specs published in EGM. Neither your specs or EGM's
specify whether or not Sega increased the pallette. You mentioned something
about this a while ago, but I haven't seen anything else. Did they or didn't
they?

> Anyone know when this is scheduled for release domestically?
EGM says it will be released in the Spring of 1992.
We all know how reliable EGM is...

That's a good question; I wish I knew that too. Neither the MD Fan nor
Beep! MD mentions anything about it, although Famicom Tsushin said some words
on it very briefly. Since the MD magazines didn't say anything, I'd guess
that the # of palletes would remain the same. But I'm not too sure because,
like I said before, those demonstrations looked broadcast-quality 3-D
graphics that you'd only find with Video Toaster.
