HeartBeat Catalyst

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

• Link WHAAAAT. Okay okay. So. These HeartBeat versions were entirely different releases; you'd have to purchase an entirely new game. Okay wow. This means a lot for the remainder of the unreleased Catalyst games, namely: 1) Were some of these unreleased games actually released? (Outworld?) 2) The HeartBeat version of NHLPA Hockey '93 very likely exists (as backed up by marketing stating it's more or less available "now". 3) Seriously I can't believe these were actually manufactured and sold. Wow. If the actual hardware only had a 1000 unit run, these later 1994-ish games couldn't have had a larger run (probably something smaller.) 4) Find out why all of these HeartBeat rare releases/protos/marketing material are being found in the same city (who moved there and got liquidated?) ALSO: Image of the NHLPA Hockey box here.

NHLPA Hockey '93 compatibility?

Whaat. Why are multiple magazines articles claiming the Catalyst is currently compatible with NHLPA Hockey '93? Like not "it will be compatible", but "it IS compatible, RIGHT NOW." What. Can- can someone please take a quick peek at the game and ensure there really aren't any HeartBeat leftovers. God this rabbit hole man. CartridgeCulture (talk) 19:59, 5 October 2021 (EDT)

Proper Compatibility section

Get one of those fancy Compatibility templates going on here. And tag the Catalyst pages with the accessory in their infoboxes.

Seriously what's with these compatibility claims?

Almost all of the games that HeartBeat was claiming were going to have Catalyst compatibility were released after the system was. What's up? Could the Catalyst have been released sooner, and that November 1993 date is just for the Personal Trainer? I mean the company listed themselves as an official licensed affiliate of EA in their print ads, so I doubt it was ALL talk, but man. I have no idea.

Catalyst/Personal Trainer confusion

Dedicate a brief section to the general confusion over the Catalyst/Personal Trainer brands, and that its something the company added to by usually describing Outback Joey as a Personal Trainer game, despite it being perfectly compatible any Mega Drive with an attached Catalyst.
