You guess correctly. Despite Microsoft's involvement, AFAIK there were really only two sold in the US, a Spectravideo model and a Yamaha one.  The Spectravideo flopped hard, and the Yamaha wasn't even marketed as a computer, it was marketed as a MIDI synth.

Now I think about it though, I suppose an argument could be made that the MSX did succeed in the US, but through a sideways route - that is the various titles that originated elsewhere on the platform but got converted to the NES.

Remember the Terminator game for the Sega-CD?  Now imagine a Terminator 2 game in the same fashion:

I'm gonna be totally honest, and I've commented to the developer on this as well. But watching this trailer and seeing the gameplay footage reminded me a ton of LJN's Terminator 2 game from back in 1992 just with better graphics and sprite animation. I would rather have a game that was more original with a new storyline of some kind rather than just a retelling of stuff 30 years ago. It's one of the big reasons I enjoyed Resistance so much. I think we could have had a similar style of game like Aliens Infestation on the DS but with the Terminator motif that would have been a lot of fun. Have a 4 member platoon fighting in the war, uncovering the plot of unleashing the T-800 infiltrators into the resistance camps taking out high level targets and plotting the assassination of Connor. Then when all is said and done one of your squad mates ends up being a T-800 itself or something and gets you, then the game ends.

So this just passed across my screen today: https://www.videogamesage.com/blogs/entry/1132-game-boy-history-made-tonight/

Last year, the first-ever 16-player game of Faceball 2000 was played. With an asterisk because it required a slight modification to the retail release to fix a bug that caused the max playable to be fifteen, but because of that bug we know FOR A FACT that no one has ever done this before.  

(To make a long story short, the developers never tested more than ten players because that was all the GameBoys they had and Nintendo wasn't letting them release their adapter anyways, so they never found a couple of bugs that show up at very high player counts.)

The remaster really could've been something extraordinary if the content from the Saturn port of Suikoden I was included.  I think it was a wasted opportunity to bring in that exclusive content.

There is THIS game though:

However, I've been quite wary of Konami ever since they went to the dark side of smart phone games, and I can only imagine the microtransaction bs they will insert in this one.

Capcom vs SNK 2 alone is worth the price of admission for me on this collection:

$1.19, not bad of a price.
