Saturn Forum

"Owned one since launch and love it, but I haven't played it much in recent years, so its more of a novelty. Most of the good games for it are $$$, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Radiant silvergun, Shining Force and guardian heroes are like $80+ used :(If you do take the plunge you will need: 3D (analog)controller (for nights), Action replay plus 4m/1m ram cart for imports/fighting games, and a Stunner Light gun.Game wise, House of the dead sucked- stay far far away -. Snatcher is only English on SegaCD. I would recommend Virtua Fighter 2, Virtual Cop 1 & 2, Virtual ON (god that's a lot of virtual) Daytona USA. Oh and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, best version ever!!Oh and Saturn Bomberman with 2 multitaps and 10 controllers"

"Well if you're really interested in all those games, then of course you should buy one. You'd be hard pressed to have that many good titles on a current gen system. Nice choices, add some more of the Shining games, Dragon Force, and Gun Griffon (and their sequels), as well as Princess Crown and Christmas Nights (it was meant to be a free demo but has tons of awesome stuff). Some more CAPCOM and SNK games also. The Story of Thor 2 should be a pretty good Zelda-style action RPG, I'm playing the first on the Genesis and it's quite decent. Maybe add Space Hulk. You should add Powerslave/Exhumed too as the Saturn version was the best of them all, and it's a great ego shooter. It may remind you of Metroid Prime since you get new abilities that allow access to different paths of the levels, while you can revisit places and what not."

"Get one, and a Action Replay.

*cough*

"Kind of, yeah, with an egyptian theme. More Doom-ish in feel but you do get new abilities and what not as you pass through levels, like levitation and other skills that allow you to reach places u couldn't previously. Pretty tough too.

  

This guy is skipping all the intro/dialogues and stuff (not that it has so many, but you do lose some of the atmosphere) and he's borderline speed running it going past enemies and knowing the location of everything, so it's not a good representation of the gameplay, but it's one of the nicer vids. It doesn't show off any skill gains since it's the first level. Don't worry about the lack of mouselook, you can look up and down but you don't actually need it to aim at enemies, it has doom stile hit detection which means you just line up the horizontal axis and the guy shoots well.

Edit: He does get a new skill, higher jump or something along those lines after the middle of the video.

"I will play it on the Dreamcast."

Saturn has a undebatably better controller for fighting games, though.  And why are you so quick to dismiss everything by saying "WHATEVER I'LL JUST PLAY IT ON DREAMCAST!!!"?"

"Most games are best played on the Dreamcast simply because the overall design was better as well as upgrades.  Virtua Fighter 3 is a much slicker game on the Dreamcast than the Saturn."

" Ive never owned a Saturn or played one or even seen one in person. Seems like it had lots of good games I would like. Didn't Warcraft II come out on it also? "
