attakid101 251 Member · Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Let’s gab about the Sega Saturn! I’ve only been playing the Saturn for around 2 years but I’m in love. I plan on bumping this thread every once in a while with my pickups and game impressions. But for now I’ll simply say this: Saturn > N64 .......shut up, jone Any other Saturn lovers around here??

MuNKeY 241 Member · Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Aye but I just collect imports however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication 1,466 Member · Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I am thinking about starting. I figure between Turbo and Saturn, the Saturn hardware is more reliable and cheaper, and because I am already collecting import PS1 games my required Saturn list would be much smaller. I'd love to hear game suggestions I am only looking at: Radiant Silvergun, Batsugun, Image Fight and X multiply, Strikers 1945, Gunbird, Darius Twin, and Sonic Wings Special So far.

Br81zad 627 Member · Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I have one and enjoy it, I only have a modest few games though. Die Hard Arcade, Vitua Cop, Area 51, Knights, and a couple others. What do I need to add to my backlog? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEET.dreams 49 Member · Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I just got my first Saturn a couple of years ago. I love it. Highly underrated console. But I still think it's 3rd place behind PS1/N64. I'd trade the entire Saturn library for Ocarina of Time alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintegageo 514 Member · Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The Saturn is amazing! When I went cart-only and traded in my consoles; the Saturn is probably the #1 that I miss. So many good and unique titles. Not sure it is above the N64 but it coulda been a contender! I did have the super expensive titles though, so provided that you are good with spending stupid money on cheaply printed CD's.. then yes, I recommend it.

GPX 1,207 Member · Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The Saturn was/is a very underrated console. I feel a lot of gamers misunderstood its selling point, which was: - a Sega console to play 3D games (not many highlights other than by Sega eg. Virtua Fighter, Fighters Megamix, Die Hard Arcade, Virtua Cop, House of the Dead). - to maximise on 2D gameplay with true arcade qualities; this was where the console was head and shoulders above the competition ie. N64/PS1. Some amazing arcade beat’em ups and shooters eg. Street Fighter Alpha series, XMen Children of Atom, Galactic Attack, Radiant Silvergun. Tons of others that were Japan-only, where the system carried on for much longer than the Western versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherDestroysTheGond 609 Member · Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Saturn was definitely a great system, even better if you tap into import titles. The N64 has like 8-10 games worth playing today, the PS1 library is massive and filled with tons of great games, and the Saturn has a lot of unique exclusives that make it special. Nights, Shining games, Panzer Dragoons, Astal, Guardian Heroes, Dragon Force, etc. are all great. A few games, like Mega Man 8, the Wrestlemania Arcade, etc. have their definitive version on the Saturn too. I want to finish getting the games I want for Saturn but I'd rather post here to complain about the prices. I just got my first taste of imports with Metal Slug and Fist. Trying to navigate the library and find games that can be played with little or no Japanese literacy. But imports are getting pricey too it seems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodysGameRoom 1,776 Member · Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I love my Saturn. I'm (stupidly) trying for a complete US set, I've got 40 to go... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 1,578 Member · Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Lots of opportunities for Limited Run on Saturn if they could just crack the code to making reproduction discs… it’s not impossible to do, especially given their relationship with Sega, their ability to leverage engineering resources, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarthurn 15 Member · Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I loved my Saturn. Had my favourites of each of the following genres of that generation: 3D Fighter (VF2) Racer (Sega Rally) Lightgun (VC2) and my favourite overall game of the generation: NiGHTS If I only played those 4 games that gen then I'd have been well entertained. Lots to love on all three but for my taste: Saturn > PS > N64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahvanderhoff 16 Member · Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Sega Saturn is one of my favourites. My hot-take is that the longbox NA Saturn cases have by far the best box art of any console, particularly on the Working Designs releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few import titles that have English, boot up in Japanese but has English switch or doesn't require Japanese knowledge at all. Primarily fighting and shump games are the most accessible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication 1,466 Member · Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I want to be on team Saturn, but I only have a couple games and no console. Is this what sealed collectors feel like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's starting to drag on though so I may just grab one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
