I used to collect for the Sega Saturn, specifically japanese imports. In fact, I have over 80 titles from that region and only one European game, even though I live in Spain. But since prices have increased a lot over the last decade I decided to quit buying because titles I am interested in have become insanely expensive.
Honestly, if you sell your games now, you're probably better off. Saturn games have a tendency to rot faster than other disc based games (PS1, PS2, etc) because the foil degrades faster due to their pressing method, and the data layer becomes corrupt faster as a result. Saturn lasers are becoming harder to replace, too. Many of the games work, but many of them don't. These days, with the market the way it is, it's much more sensible to sell off a collection while the market is extremely high and move toward ODEs. I like Saturn games for collecting purposes, but for playing? Too risky.
@@hughang8444 what I have been saying for years. I am sorry, but it’s just plain stupid to buy a Saturn game for hundreds when they are known to be the most susceptible to disc rot, and even if they weren’t a freakin video game just isn’t worth that much money. I got the MODE for the Saturn and I am in gaming heaven with the amazing quality of titles available that I wouldn’t have been able to play on real hardware if I actually tried to get the original discs.
My friends also thought I was nuts when I paid $100 for mine in 2001. Never sold it, never will. It’s been the prize piece of my collection, until I bought little samson cib and shantae cib about a year ago.
the Saturn was appreciated really just about as much as it deserved. Expensive, difficult to develop for, horrible launch, hardly any games most people would be interested in...
@@iempire100 Not really. Just on the S tier items hot among the trendy. You can still get Nights into Dreams, Sega Rally, Clockwork Knight, Bug, Cyber Speedway, Hyper Reverthion, Crime Wave, many others for very cheap. I recently bought Hyper Reverthion for $15 and Vatlva for like $35. That's not so high nor hard. Also, those games were in brand new condition and complete.
@@fritzthecat8158 True, it deserves to be expensive. i just wish I had started collecting for it a decade ago. I'm counting on emulating Bomberman with 10 players on the next FPGA platform :)
I grew up in the 90s not knowing one single human who owned a Saturn. In fact, my brothers and I were the only people I knew who owned a Sega CD. We skipped on the Saturn though.
This would've been a perfect watch for my Lunch but I literally just watched 3 hours of "All Saturn games released" over on VGL here on TH-cam... I'll come back in a few days!
Maybe I missed it, but didn’t see you have Sega Rally. That’s a must have for you since you like racing games and is actually one of the better looking 3D titles for the console. It plays great.
Not a collector, but there are two games I think you should take a look. The first a dungeon crawler called Shining the Holy Ark. I really like art, atmosphere and combat and if you have a lot of time to explore the game's massive dungeons you'll have a really good time.The second one is Guardian Heroes, which is a beat'em up with special moves similar to Street Fighter. Both are pretty expensive, but I feel are among the best games for the system.
This brings me back. In college, a buddy of mine let me borrow his Saturn and he had a ton of import games. That was a good summer. There was quite a few train simulators but a ton of rpgs.
I’m finding that’s the case with most older systems. Recently been getting some Japanese imports, and have a pretty big MD, SFC, and Famicom games, and it’s become the most interesting part of collecting for me now.
“The Binder!” 😂 so glad to see you like the games I sent. After I sent the binders my mother found a bunch of the cases and manuals but unfortunately they ended up getting destroyed in a leaky shed. ( don’t know how they got there) 😭 Shining Force 3, and Dragon Force are still some of my favorites. I know the binder isn’t the best way to store them but I didn’t have the room for the cases. I’m sure a man with your connections can find the cases and manuals. Glad to see them in good hands.
I read about Petrucci making music for that game a long ago in an interview, but totally forgot about that. How cool to catch it now in this video!!! ':- )
Thanks to the vid you did with Anna a while back, I got my hands on a Saturn and an Action Replay cart about a year ago and now I've got about 50 games, all Japanese but one. I was surprised how cheap and easy to come by Japanese Saturn games really are. I've browsed and grabbed stuff I haven't even heard of because they were being sold at generous prices.
I loved SCUD (the comic)! He was an assassin droid that you would buy from a vending machine (for a hit). And once the droid completes the hit, they self-destruct. Well, Scud became aware of this and instead of finishing his job (which would lead to his doom), he kept his target alive, and paid for that by taking on more jobs. Really fun and interesting comic.
Greetings from Vancouver, Washington. Great video!!! I absolutely love the Saturn and it is my favorite system. I got it when it was released and have kept everything in pristine condition since. I remember playing Astal when it came out and was amazed by the graphics. I also think the original Saturn controller is the most comfortable ever. I am jealous of your collection.
The 20 year mark is when both nostalgia from those who originally owned something and curiosity from those who didn't kicks in, so when you have something good like the Saturn that didn't sell well and consequently has a limited number of games in circulation, it's a recipe for prices going up. We're starting to see the same with the Dreamcast now. I collected for the Saturn for a little while but kind of gave up; I now only have a few really rare games. My last pickup was Radiant Silvergun, which I'd just wanted for years, and finally paid about $150 for on my last trip to Japan. That was probably 3 years ago now.
How did I miss this upload. Just got a Saturn and roughly 90 games about four months ago. Wish I had gotten one at launch. Amazing console and love the Japanese imports.
I just bought an English language reproduction off of Instagram ($40), and I FINALLY finished playing through the saga a couple days ago. Took me 2 months, 175 hours. LOVED IT. Such an epic experience. We were really missing out by just getting scenario 1 in America. I, too, hope Sega will one day do an official translation and release on switch or something. Square did it for final Fantasy 5 on the ps1 and seiken densetsu 3 on the collection of mana for switch.
@@123doomdoom that’s even more reason for him to have these in separate jewel cases rather than a shitty cd binder which will put wear and tear on your discs overtime
I love my Saturn Collection; some of my all time favorite console games. I can't believe how much these games go for today even though I don't really care about the monetary value. Shining Force III, Dragon Force and Panzer Dragoon Saga are my personal favorites. The artwork and the packaging alone make collecting for the Saturn all the more fulfilling. They just don't package games like this anymore. I especially like all of the Working Design games; just so beautiful. Great video!
I don't have many Saturn games but I do have Astal and that is one beautiful game. His attack mechanics and how the screen scrolls in and out is something unique and never seen in another game. That's an IP that should be revived.
I just started collecting for it about a year ago. I have bought many reproduction games but i don't care. I want to play these games more than just have them sit on a shelf as a rare collectors item. But that does not mean i wouldn't get a copy of panzer dragoon saga if it was sold for a reasonable price.
If you can get around the region lock, either with a mod or some kind of cheat device, Japanese games are *much* cheaper and you can easily find sellers online.
I feel you man I started collecting for it in 05, really happy I did because it is hard to even find complete titles for it anymore. Cases sucked and routinely broke. I got maybe 40-50 US releases
That isn’t going to cause disc rot. He would have to be in a highly humid area for the moisture in the air to get passed the binder and into the plastic sleeve to get it to react with the label on the disc. I would imagine he is managing the humidity for his entire collection of games.
I do a very similar thing with my loose Saturn/Dreamcast/Sega CD games...it's tough but over time sometimes you do manage to complete the games. You can't shy away from loose stuff when it is that hard to find and coveted.
I envy you for having these rare and expensive games in your collection. I rarely ever get to add rare games to my collection, knowing how much money I get. Due to my learning disability, I am unable to work a full time job, yet I’d love to one day own games like Burning Rangers, Snatcher and Panzer Dragoon Saga! Shinobi X (known to you as Shinobi Legions) is one of the few games from my childhood I’ve yet to re-add to my collection!
Love the Saturn as it's one of my three favorite consoles, alongside the SNES and Dreamcast. That being said here are my favorite Saturn games. Battle Arena Toshinden Remix, D, Daytona USA, Dynamite Deka, Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butoden, Fire Pro Wrestling S: 6 Men Scramble, The King of Fighters '96, Marvel Super Heroes, Saturn Bomberman, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Virtua Cop 1 & 2, Virtua Fighter 2, and X-Men: Children of The Atom.
It's great to hear that you're still friends with Anna and sharing games! i wonder if the driver for the uptick in light gun stuff may be the Sinden light gun... which BTW would probably be a cool video for you to do (perhaps with DMP? i hear he has cookies!) thanks for all the great content, you got a great big heart, MJR
@@nattila7713 I'm sure you're right... for some reason i thought part of the draw was to do old light gun games on modern tvs i musta missed part of how it works
You made my day! Thanks for this pleasure to see such great collection! I also like collecting on Saturn, but in our region no one even don't know about this console, but this console is awesome cool! Love it much more then other consoles! Thanks!
Cyber Speedway was my absolute favorite Saturn game. Got hours of fun playing against my friends. I still have some of the songs from the soundtrack on my MP3 player.
Guardian Heroes is my absolute favorite beat-em up of all time and was the only fond memory I have of playing a Saturn at a friend's house, and I still have yet to see anyone even mention it.
Part of the reason you probably don’t play your racing games is that you are missing the best ones. If you had Sega Rally, Manx TT, Sonic R, Daytona USA CCE, etc. you would probably play your racing games.
I am glad I got all the saturn game I wanted while they were okay on prices. My Panzer Dragoon Saga was still the most expensive one but nowhere near today's prices... I collect EU only however, so no US or JP games for me...
I was stationed in Japan in 01 to 04. Managed to snag some of these sega saturn import games for 100 yen to 980 yen. It was a magical time to be a import game collector for sure.
Currently sitting at around 120 games for the Saturn and I love it. Games you may want to look into: Batsugun Battle Garegga Blast wind Bulk Slash Burning Rangers Christmas Nights Cyberbots Diehard Arcade and Trilogy DonPachi Fighting Vipers Golden Axe: The Duel Guardian Heroes Gunbird Gungriffon Hyper Duel In the Hunt Iron Storm Legend of Oasis Mr. Bones Mystaria: the Realms of Lore Night Striker S Raident Silvergun (obvious) Sengoku Blade Shining the holy Ark Shining Wisdom Soukyugurentai Street Fighter Alpha Three Dirty Dwarves Wolf Fang X-men vs. Street fighter Take care and thanks for the video.
Hey MJR! I loved the video! You certainly have a better Sega Saturn game collection than I do! But that's ok! I currently own 19 Saturn games in my collection (combination of US and Japan imports). Here's some games I'm gonna recommend you get: Daytona USA (with how much you love racing games, this is a must have!), Sega Rally Championship, Deep Fear (if you love Resident Evil, this is a must have!), Virtua Fighter 1 or 2, X-Men Children of the Atom (fantastic X-Men fighting game by Capcom), R?MJ The Mystery Hospital (a bizarre Japan import horror game taking place in a hospital), Area 51, Break Point Tennis, and NBA Jam Tournament Edition.
OMG I just noticed you had Hang-On in your collection! One of my favorite games to play in the arcade growing up was the Hang-On game where it had a motorbike you could actually sit on. Memories!
Super Collection Man !!!! You are the reason i started collecting !!!! Im from South africa and its super hard to find !! Thanks for the Great Content Cheerz
Great collection! I'm pretty new to Saturn collecting myself, but one game I can recommend to you as a music fan is Wachenröder, a steam punk SRPG, with music by Ian McDonald of the original King Crimson lineup!
9:13 "Sakura Wars" Sakura Taisen Series! This is my favorite series in Saturn software I played 1 and 2 for quite some time at that time How Nostalgic...
That's a great collection MJR. Now that emulation got a little better with the new Mednafen cores, I've been hunting a lot of Saturn games that I couldn't play back in the day when I had the console. If I may, here are some suggestions for your game hunting of some more unknown games that I've enjoyed quite a bit: - Hissatsu! (2D action) - Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru [Psychic Killer Taromaru] (2D action, amazing game) - Skull Fang: Kuuga Gaiden (2d action/shooter) You may also check the other two games in the Mobile Suit Z Gundam trilogy of 2D games which I like a lot. You already own Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Zenpen Z no Kodou, but there is also the first game (just called Mobile Suit Z Gundam) and Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Kouhen Uchuu wo Kakeru. Love your videos.
Good you have Albert Odyssey but there are still a few holes in your collection: Blazing Dragons, Blazing Heroes, Guardian Heroes, Bulk Slash, Croc, Daytona, Deep Fear, Keio Flying Squandron 2, Linkle Liver Story, Lupin III: Pyramid no Kenja, Ninpen Manmaru, Princess Crown, Ninja Jajamaru-kun: Onigiri Ninpouchou Gold, Magical Drop III, Shining the Holy Ark, Söldnerschild, Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels, SteamGear Mash, Sword & Sorcery, Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasokyoku, and Tengai Makyou.
There's a game called "The Legend of Oasis", it's a great ARPG for the SS. BTW it's the sequel to "Beyond Oasis" on Genesis (and both games has soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro :)
So many of those games I used to have....I still have my original Saturn, playable since early 1997. But early on I had the console switched, so I could play multi-disc Japanese games. I still have maybe around 40 titles in my collection. If you don't have it, I'd easily recommend Guardian Heroes. A side-scrolling beat 'em up by Treasure, it's a fantasy motif game with branching paths and multiple endings. You can fight on three planes, and you use a party of heroes to fight your way through hordes of enemies. Lots of humor, too. I had mine for close to 20 years before I decided to buy the Xbox 360 port, which is just as fun. But if one has a decent Saturn collection, they can't go wrong with Guardian Heroes!
3:10 On the Sega Saturn, the only games that I'm mainly interested in is: - X-Men Children of the Atom - Marvel Super Heroes - X-Men vs. Street Fighter - Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter - Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix I see some DreamCast games in 'The Binder'.
Had a Saturn growing up. I was THAT kid. Today I only have 5 games for it: Die Hard Arcade, Dragonforce, Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix, Virtua cop 2, and Virtual On
My friend just grabbed up a Saturn and I’m so jealous. Then you put THIS video out to make me even more jealous lol. I can’t believe how many games you have for it. Great video!
Road and Track Need for Speed is one of my favorite old school games. I play it on the 3do. For the time it was amazing and I visit that game every now and then. Still lots of fun

My only complaint about this video is how short it is, I wouldn't mind if this was a couple hours long while you go through and play each game.
For this many titles, especially ones I never knew existed, I too would enjoy a deeper dive of these games!
Agreed. In detail, every game, more than welcome!

So sell em :)
Honestly, if you sell your games now, you're probably better off. Saturn games have a tendency to rot faster than other disc based games (PS1, PS2, etc) because the foil degrades faster due to their pressing method, and the data layer becomes corrupt faster as a result. Saturn lasers are becoming harder to replace, too.
Many of the games work, but many of them don't. These days, with the market the way it is, it's much more sensible to sell off a collection while the market is extremely high and move toward ODEs.
I like Saturn games for collecting purposes, but for playing? Too risky.

pfff i recently paid $480.... if only we all knew how much these games were going to be worth 20 years ago....
@@snickersvickers22 you paid WHAT
Bought it for $150 complete in 2005. Sold it in 2011 for $300. I thought I made a good move doubling my money, little did I know.

Hard to believe that, to this day, the Saturn continues to be an underappreciated console!
It's one of the most expensive...
NTSC games have gone so high in price it's hard to collect for.

Try 'burning discs'
Get yourself a Modded Saturn action replay. Burn the discs. Play the games.
I would like to see the Sega Saturn Classic get the Turbo-Grafx treatment, meaning the ability to play the US & Japanese version of the games.
Sega said a Saturn mini could happen in 10 years. Don't hold your breath.
@@kenterminateddq5311 Hell yeah!
I hope you find more Saturn games and show us your dream cast collection
Please do show us the DC collection, was a great console that had an unfortunate run but also had some solid games.

I've never even played the saturn. Thats why i want to get one now lol
Same here. My brother bought a CDX at a young age and I never knew another who had one lol
I was that one kid with the Saturn. Literally everyone else had a PS1. I have so much nostalgia for it though, especially Die Hard Arcade and Daytona.
Same here in the 90s who could afford a saturn. The ps1 was way better and the n64 was still relevant. Cool to see these vids though.

Battle Arena Toshinden Remix, D, Daytona USA, Dynamite Deka, Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butoden, Fire Pro Wrestling S: 6 Men Scramble, The King of Fighters '96, Marvel Super Heroes, Saturn Bomberman, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Virtua Cop 1 & 2, Virtua Fighter 2, and X-Men: Children of The Atom.
It's great to hear that you're still friends with Anna and sharing games!
i wonder if the driver for the uptick in light gun stuff may be the Sinden light gun... which BTW would probably be a cool video for you to do (perhaps with DMP? i hear he has cookies!)
thanks for all the great content, you got a great big heart, MJR
how could sinden work with a saturn? there is no way...
@@nattila7713 I'm sure you're right... for some reason i thought part of the draw was to do old light gun games on modern tvs i musta missed part of how it works
@@maxadocious i think compatibility was planned but never realized :( at least for playstation... but it was years ago maybe I remember wrong
My brother loved the Skud comics and he was so surprised it was released as a video game for the Sega Saturn
Insane collection MJR
You made my day! Thanks for this pleasure to see such great collection! I also like collecting on Saturn, but in our region no one even don't know about this console, but this console is awesome cool! Love it much more then other consoles! Thanks!
Cyber Speedway was my absolute favorite Saturn game. Got hours of fun playing against my friends. I still have some of the songs from the soundtrack on my MP3 player.
Guardian Heroes is my absolute favorite beat-em up of all time and was the only fond memory I have of playing a Saturn at a friend's house, and I still have yet to see anyone even mention it.
0:18 Shake it, Metal Jesus!
Great collection! No console is boring, even the ephemeral Saturn.
I freaking love your channel so much. It's nostalgia overload with the perfect sprinkle of passion and nerding out.
Part of the reason you probably don’t play your racing games is that you are missing the best ones. If you had Sega Rally, Manx TT, Sonic R, Daytona USA CCE, etc. you would probably play your racing games.
I am glad I got all the saturn game I wanted while they were okay on prices.
My Panzer Dragoon Saga was still the most expensive one but nowhere near today's prices...
I collect EU only however, so no US or JP games for me...
Albert Odyssey! I picked this up back in the day when Saturn games were languishing in discount bins. What a great game!
You really should get your hands on Dark Savior, my fav Saturn title. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
FYI, GameStop in Poulsbo.W.A. is closing. Everything must go. Although it looked like the good stuff might already been snagged.
I was stationed in Japan in 01 to 04. Managed to snag some of these sega saturn import games for 100 yen to 980 yen. It was a magical time to be a import game collector for sure.
Currently sitting at around 120 games for the Saturn and I love it.
Games you may want to look into:
Batsugun
Battle Garegga
Blast wind
Bulk Slash
Burning Rangers
Christmas Nights
Cyberbots
Diehard Arcade and Trilogy
DonPachi
Fighting Vipers
Golden Axe: The Duel
Guardian Heroes
Gunbird
Gungriffon
Hyper Duel
In the Hunt
Iron Storm
Legend of Oasis
Mr. Bones
Mystaria: the Realms of Lore
Night Striker S
Raident Silvergun (obvious)
Sengoku Blade
Shining the holy Ark
Shining Wisdom
Soukyugurentai
Street Fighter Alpha
Three Dirty Dwarves
Wolf Fang
X-men vs. Street fighter
Take care and thanks for the video.
Hey MJR! I loved the video! You certainly have a better Sega Saturn game collection than I do! But that's ok! I currently own 19 Saturn games in my collection (combination of US and Japan imports). Here's some games I'm gonna recommend you get: Daytona USA (with how much you love racing games, this is a must have!), Sega Rally Championship, Deep Fear (if you love Resident Evil, this is a must have!), Virtua Fighter 1 or 2, X-Men Children of the Atom (fantastic X-Men fighting game by Capcom), R?MJ The Mystery Hospital (a bizarre Japan import horror game taking place in a hospital), Area 51, Break Point Tennis, and NBA Jam Tournament Edition.
OMG I just noticed you had Hang-On in your collection! One of my favorite games to play in the arcade growing up was the Hang-On game where it had a motorbike you could actually sit on. Memories!
Super Collection Man !!!! You are the reason i started collecting !!!! Im from South africa and its super hard to find !! Thanks for the Great Content Cheerz
Great collection!
I'm pretty new to Saturn collecting myself, but one game I can recommend to you as a music fan is Wachenröder, a steam punk SRPG, with music by Ian McDonald of the original King Crimson lineup!
9:13
"Sakura Wars" Sakura Taisen Series!
This is my favorite series in Saturn software
I played 1 and 2 for quite some time at that time
How Nostalgic...
That's a great collection MJR. Now that emulation got a little better with the new Mednafen cores, I've been hunting a lot of Saturn games that I couldn't play back in the day when I had the console. If I may, here are some suggestions for your game hunting of some more unknown games that I've enjoyed quite a bit:
- Hissatsu! (2D action)
- Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru [Psychic Killer Taromaru] (2D action, amazing game)
- Skull Fang: Kuuga Gaiden (2d action/shooter)
You may also check the other two games in the Mobile Suit Z Gundam trilogy of 2D games which I like a lot. You already own Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Zenpen Z no Kodou, but there is also the first game (just called Mobile Suit Z Gundam) and Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Kouhen Uchuu wo Kakeru. Love your videos.
i remember when i got the Saturn for Christmas when it first launched! loved the virtual fighter games and i had star fighter.
Good you have Albert Odyssey but there are still a few holes in your collection: Blazing Dragons, Blazing Heroes, Guardian Heroes, Bulk Slash, Croc, Daytona, Deep Fear, Keio Flying Squandron 2, Linkle Liver Story, Lupin III: Pyramid no Kenja, Ninpen Manmaru, Princess Crown, Ninja Jajamaru-kun: Onigiri Ninpouchou Gold, Magical Drop III, Shining the Holy Ark, Söldnerschild, Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels, SteamGear Mash, Sword & Sorcery, Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasokyoku, and Tengai Makyou.
I love the beginning of this video. "I don't have a lot of Saturn games.Just 70!"
There's a game called "The Legend of Oasis", it's a great ARPG for the SS. BTW it's the sequel to "Beyond Oasis" on Genesis (and both games has soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro :)
Thanks for the Heir of Zendor recommendation. I'm enjoying it.
So many of those games I used to have....I still have my original Saturn, playable since early 1997. But early on I had the console switched, so I could play multi-disc Japanese games. I still have maybe around 40 titles in my collection. If you don't have it, I'd easily recommend Guardian Heroes. A side-scrolling beat 'em up by Treasure, it's a fantasy motif game with branching paths and multiple endings. You can fight on three planes, and you use a party of heroes to fight your way through hordes of enemies. Lots of humor, too.
I had mine for close to 20 years before I decided to buy the Xbox 360 port, which is just as fun. But if one has a decent Saturn collection, they can't go wrong with Guardian Heroes!
This guy has to be my new neighbor. Greetings from Uruguay.
3:10 On the Sega Saturn, the only games that I'm mainly interested in is:
- X-Men Children of the Atom
- Marvel Super Heroes
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
- Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix
I see some DreamCast games in 'The Binder'.
Snatcher, Sakura Wars and Magic Knight Rayearth all in one video. Never thought I'd see so many of my obscure favorites together.
Heard of the first two but haven't played
My saturn is still hooked up, but I don't have a huge library. My favorite and most expensive though is Shining Force 3.
Ah the Sega Saturn. One I've only come in contact with at stores a couple times and one of the few consoles I've never even played. Very cool
MJR: "Here's my 70+ Saturn Games!"
Me, watching: *only has Battle Arena Toshinden Remix*
MJR: "I only have 70 games for the Sega Saturn". What are you comparing to? 70 games IS a ton of games and not just for the saturn, but for anything.
@@newgameaaaa I have almost 70 Xbox 360 games, and at least 50 PS2 games (most are loose)
So I know what you mean. 😂
Or me who only has virtua fighter 2 lol
Had a Saturn growing up. I was THAT kid. Today I only have 5 games for it: Die Hard Arcade, Dragonforce, Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix, Virtua cop 2, and Virtual On
My friend just grabbed up a Saturn and I’m so jealous. Then you put THIS video out to make me even more jealous lol. I can’t believe how many games you have for it. Great video!
Thanks! It's a fun system to collect for.
Ah yes, we finally get a new video on the greatest system of all time (in my opinion 😜), the mighty Sega Saturn! Good stuff!
Three Dirty Dwarves is one of my favorite saturn games. Exhumed is also a great game!
Just bought a Saturn a couple days ago. Can't wait!
Always love the import box art, especially the fighting games.
yaaaaaaaaaaaay something to watch for 14 minutes!!! I wish it was longer!!!!! :)
I always enjoy your videos. Panzer Dragon really caught my attention.
Metal Jesus is here to save my rubbish weekend! Thank You, Jason!
Oh my goodness, sooo many SEGA Saturn titles - what an epic collection!! :)
Never knew about Saturn until I watch Jason channel. Cool console
Wow kickass was not expecting a Saturn video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Road and Track Need for Speed is one of my favorite old school games. I play it on the 3do. For the time it was amazing and I visit that game every now and then. Still lots of fun
SEGA is still sitting on pure Gold.
If they ever could find or program a SS emulator for an classic system...this would be a dream come true.
Would really recommend powerslave(exhumed) on the saturn. Really great game
Ah the notoriously hard to develop for Sega Saturn :)
Had some pretty cool games and you certainly have a nice collection! Great video!
