I recently realized that there aren't any Saturn games available for download on any of the current systems download services.  Does anyone know why.

Ahem. Your posts get better.

And I don't know why the Saturn games haven't made their way to Wii yet. You'd think they'd certainly be manageable. Then again I'm struggling to think up a game that would be worth rebuying and downloading from the Saturn's collection. Virtua Cop was awesome to be fair. I still have the light gun.

The same reason there are so many PS1 games NOT on the PSN.  Sony/MS/Nintendo follow the money.  Asshats teabagging each other in Halo 3 or pretending to be Jackass in PAIN etc...

True, true.... but I don't know why they have turbographix (or whatever the hell you call it) up there. Seems like an odd choice to make money from.

How many awesome Saturn games are there really to be had anyway? I can't think of more than 3-5...

The REAL question is, why no 32X games?

32X would be awesome,  my guess on Saturn is because MOST of the really good ones were JPN only?  32X has some gems on it like the Flashback deal

I'm only really interested in seeing Panzer Dragoon Saga come out on any system.  I'm sure it will eventually, but I'm an impatient man, damn it!

I still play it dude. Just played Cosmic Carnage last night in fact.

I was mostly saying why no 32X games as a joke, but I wouldn't mind seeing some Sega CD/32X/Saturn games as DLC at some point. I would pay way too much money for Sonic CD. WAY too much.

there are a handful of 32x/Sega CD games that are worth playing, Flashback etc...

I tend to lump 32x/SegaCD together

It wouldn't surprise me if the Wii couldn't run a Saturn emulator well enough.  It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I never owned a Saturn but the only game that I ever played was Nights. Maybe its because its hard to emulate the Saturn? I would love for Sega to release a Saturn collection possibility on PS3 since blu-ray has more space than DVD.
