This is the original Sega Saturn boys and girls, the one that came out with the first gen Sega Saturn styling and the read light on the front (with additional venting). Colored grey with blue buttons this makes a fun collector piece and outputs NTSC video for use on Western television sets, it is relatively easy to play Japanese Sega Saturn games on an American Saturn with the Action Replay cart. CGR Japanese Sega Saturn video review features the grey, original model Japan only Sega Saturn!

    I bought my JP Saturn in Japan. I lived in Japan from 2000-02, and I just moved back a year ago. I remember in October 2001, the Super Potato in Osaka had a whole stacked pile of brand new white Saturns for only $50 (5,000 yen). I should have bought one then, but I didn't have the money. I later bought my white Saturn used at a books and media store (similar to Book Off). It was fairly good condition. (I returned the first one I bought because it REEKED of tabacco!)

    All sega consoles are great, but the sega saturn always has a special place in my heart. As I was 12 (1998) I ended up buying a ps1 because it had a lot more games and the saturn was already dead in the west. I do not regret it, but sometimes I think “what if I bought it back in 1998? Would I be a different gamer than I ended up being?”

    Since people are asking for examples, one game I know won't work on a US Saturn without a region switch is the Japanese release of King of fighters 95. It needs its own special Ram cart, so you can can't use the action replay cart

  • @viewtifuljoe99

    The games are region encoded. You can download and burn a Utopia Boot Disk (google it) that will allow you to play American games. The Japanese console I bought happened to be modded luckily enough.

  • @BigBangBlitz
    @BigBangBlitz 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just rubber band the lid detector thing, so it doesn't stop the game spinning with the lid open. I put in a normal game, and once it's past the Saturn splash just put in whatever else. It'll work without fail.
    People say on a model 2 like mine that the drive gets damaged doing this, so take care not to damage it. I know I could just fix mine or buy another one.

    Never saw the point of owning a NA Saturn with the Action Replay cart. Almost all the best games worth owning were Japanese exclusives, a few of which require their own Rom cart to play(which means you are screwed playing them on a NA Saturn if you rely on the Action Replay cart). Furthermore, the cost of the NA Saturn and Action Replay cart is about the same as a Japanese Saturn.

    Funny how 10 years ago there was no reason to import a Saturn unless you really liked the specific colour scheme since buying a US Saturn and a action replay would be cheaper.. nowadays it's actually cheaper to import a Japanese Saturn with an action replay 😂

  • @FallenGemini
    @FallenGemini 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a US saturn and a pro action replay plus. The plus version is also a 4mb ram so it allows the gamer to play games like Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter on a US console

  • @stevethefishdotnet
    @stevethefishdotnet 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The controllers are the same and are interchangeable between US and JP Saturns. However, the first gen Saturn control pad was a bit thicker, and they abandoned that design for the slimmer JP version. (The same thing happened with the Xbox.) As to which one to buy, if it looks like you will be playing more imports, then just get a JP Saturn and use an ST-Key or Action Replay Plus cartridge to play domestic games.

    Don't need the action replay as you can just do an easy solder on the motherboard and change the region of your choice. There is also a action replay card with 4mb ram included so you can play every japanese game (as if you use the import cart without ram you can't change it to ram cart after booting the game to my knowledge).

      I'm normally not a big fan of all-black console designs, but it just somehow works really well on the Saturn.
      Regardless, I agree that the blue-accented grey console design is the best of the three main looks (i.e. not including the V-Saturn, Hi-Saturn, or "This Is Cool" Skeleton Saturn).

    The Sega Saturn was an okay console, but it didn't have that many Sonic the Hedgehog games for it. It only had 3 Sonic games:
    1. Sonic Jam (A compilation disc packed with old-school Sonic Genesis classics).
    2. Sonic R (A Sonic racing game).
    And 3. Sonic 3D Blast (A 3D isometric action/adventure Sonic game).
    One more thing: there was going to be a Sonic game called "Sonic X-Treme" for the Saturn, but the game was cancelled.
