    I’m much more a Sega Saturn fan. The arcade ports, fighting games, and overlooked gems are all fantastic. Too many interesting gems never made it out of Japan unfortunately. Famous PlayStation titles are much more accessible and you can buy many of them on other systems. Saturn has a lot more titles you just can’t buy anymore anywhere at least at a price that won’t drive you crazy.

    I bought a Saturn the surprise day it came out here in the states. May something 1995. I had no business buying a $400 console and expensive games at the time (age 20 college student taking a semester off due to lack of tuition funds). But I did it anyway. Daytona, VF, Bug, Clockwork Knight, Panzer Dragoon. Not the best lineup but most were quite fun in their own way. I remember the free VF Remix disc. And then there was VF2. And lots of other great games.
    How times change. I'm 48 now and even with 28 years of inflation I'm now pretty shy about spending $400 on anything I don't have to. Real world bills and some day retirement...

    To be honest, the Saturn might probably have been the best console in its era. But it's also one of the first times Sega made one of its historical mistakes. This being the undocumented transparency effects for the software. Only very few ever figured it out, many developers quoted the Saturn was difficult to work on... The cause being the limited documented devkits.

      It would be too expensive for them to manufacture these consoles let alone market and sell them plus the looming fear of not selling well and the risk factor that hardware generally do not generate revenue. What they should do is re-print their old games for Saturn and Dreamcast or bring them to modern consoles. This will at-least generate them revenue

      Back then though It felt like a losing cause especially when sega saturn collapsed. If you invest on a console that was at the near end then why go for it? It is not a smart logical decision to make. As for me, I went from SNES to PS1 to Xbox. No regrets here especially since I love the Halo games (Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3). My K/D online in multiplayer was 1.04 in Halo 2. Halo 3- 1.46 (Isolation map 1.91). Halo 4- 1.66 and Halo 5 - 1.87.

    When I was a kid I saw my first 3D game on demo in a shop, it totally blew my mind. I never ended up owning that game and trying to remember it later, I had some idea it was Sega, and thought it must have been a Dreamcast game - in my memory it looked so beautiful and so advanced. I've since found out it was Nights Into Dreams on the Saturn. That console definitely had some magic!

    On paper the Saturn is superior to the Playstation but what truly made it fail was the games. Third party support was scarce and Sega made a big mistake by not making follow ups of its most popular games. No Sonic 4, no Streets Of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Outrun, Hang On and so many others. Another problem was the short gameplay of some games. For example, Sega Rally had 4 tracks, 3 cars and that was it. Sega also kinda disliked RPGs and kept pushing for somewhat average 3D games just to compete with the Playstation.

      Had Sega resolve these issues before launching the console. The saturn would've been better performing console than the ps1.

    Here in the USA almost no one had a Saturn. Everyone I knew had a PlayStation or later a Nintendo 64. No one cared about the Saturn and the Dreamcast a great system lost out because of that here. Not that Saturn was a bad system. It cost too much and did not have enough games on it. They had to sell it with 3 free games you get to choose to get it to sell at a big loose and still did not. What hurt them most was there were not enough 3D games and the few that there were, were not well-made and glitchy. In Japan, it sold better then the PlayStation and did a bit better in Europe than the USA. After Sega CD and then 32X I and many here lost all interest in Sega.

    The Saturn had many amazing games, but you needed a region converter/RAM upgrade combo cart to play some of them. Domestically, some of my favs were VF2, Dragon Force, Guardian Heroes, Fighters Megamix, Virtual On and (this one is debated but I liked it a lot) Manx TT Superbike. Japan exclusives I loved are Dead or Alive, Last Bronx and XMen VS Street Fighter.

    You forgot for the PS1 that Mahjong game was also released on it as well as Nekketsu Oyako, Ridge Racer and Tama: Adventurous Ball In Giddy Labyrinth so i have a feeling you're purposely leaving those games out to make the Saturn look better and also Ridge Racer was one of the best launch titles.

      That's an opinion but I have seen direct comparisons of games that are both on PS1 and Saturn. Saturn is the weaker console. Re1 is a perfect example, only thing re1 version on Saturn that was better was an exclusive battle mode, but that would come out with RE2 dualshock and revamped as mercenaries in re3

    SegaSaturn dominance is clear from 1994 to 1997. PlayStation became successful when Dreamcast arrived. Maybe that Sega should have delayed the release of the Dreamcast in Japan because the SegaSaturn was still a success in 1998.

    3d games from the 90s aged poorly. Thus Sega Saturn is arguably the best system from that era to play nowadays. Also it has a surprising number of great exclusive games that have never been remastered. Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force 3 and Dragon Force come to mind. A very underrated console...

    • @JaggedMercenary

      Exactly. I have noticed that for a few exceptions like Lomax (2D platformer), I rarely play the PS1 anymore.
      On the other hand, the Saturn has aged very nicely, thanks to its massive 2D games library.

    I dont think final fantasy was the reason why sony won. For my friends & I the main reason was the MOD CHIP. Being able to copy games and spread it around with friends was the main reason we all got ps1 & ps2. For a non- working high school student it was impossible to afford to buy games at the shop. But for the price of a blank cd/dvd $1 or $2 you could own those games.

    The Best Buy and Toy r us near by only had the Playstation and N64 and my Cousin got a Ps1 with CTR and i got a N64 with Smash Bros.
    The 1st time i seen a physical Saturn was my uncle gave me his that he got for free with the game Bug around 2005, i put it way for years and kept it, and years ago i got the retro bug and got a Mode, fram mod, recapped, Actionreplay cart and a 3d Controller and its one of my favorite retro consoles 😊

    It's possibly cutural, but Japanese launch games are just plain weird compared to what we had. I can't remember the Saturn's but the PlayStation's were: Ridge Racer, Destruction Derby, Battle Arena Toshinden, Lemmings 3D, Tekken, Cyber Sled, Air Combat and Wipeout. These were available at launch, as in the first week we saw plenty of others. In fact the reason some games had the double CD case, was because there wasn't enough of the Sony specific cases to meet sales.

    I'm a Sega Saturn stan. I still sing it's praise to this day, they just didn't get enough proper game licensing of the major titles. I remember Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 7 coming out and in a magazine they said the exclusivity of those popular titles helped Playstation leap ahead. The Saturn in terms of specs was a a more solid console. I played Darkstalkers on both consoles and the loading on Saturn was way faster while Playstation gave me time to go to the kitchen and make a sandwich lol
