If there was a system like the CDX I'd buy it. Even better, a CDX with 32X support. I won't get my hopes up though. Why would Sega (or Nintendo) want you to keep buying old used games when they can sell a virtual version for $5-$10?

What if there was some kind of hybrid like that - a system that could play carts from Nintendo and Sega systems, for example. Would you go for something like that?
I think I would. It would be nice to have one console that could play Master System, Genesis, and Nintendo games.
A CD system like that would be awesome - Sega CD, TG-16 CD, and 3DO just used standard CD formats (don't forget how pricey CDR drives and discs were back then) so one drive could play them all. That would basically be my dream system.
The NES remakes out there are either too pricey (i.e the Messiah system) or one of aforementioned crappy combo systems flooding ebay and mall kiosks. None of those are licensed by Nintendo of course, I'm actually a little surprised we haven't seen Genesis variants of these.
Don't know if this counts, but I did buy one of those portable Master System remakes. I really want to write a review for my web site but it's a bit low on my to do list. In lieu of that here's a quickie review:
