- Classic Game Room reviews the Japanese Sega Saturn model HST-3200 released in 1994. 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 miss CGR... Something simple and fun to watch on TH-cam. Those days are long gone.
Well it’s back baby!!! EDF!EDF!EDF! TRUXTON
The prophecy has been fulfilled. Lord Karnage has returned!
One of the greatest consoles ever!
You mean:
One of the worst consoles ever, I mean, the graphics is like........1p!
@@MichDC that fool doesn't even know proper resolutions, I don't think any console from the 20th century used 1p, that person is a fucking fool

Lol. That comment is 2 years ago. In fact I'm even embarrased by it. Cheers

After 20 years, Sega Saturn is still my favor console of ALL time! It is the perfect console for 2D fighting game fans with its excellent 6 bottons layout & super awesome D-pad controller, it is something any controller fighting game fans cannot live without!
+pigboykool Awesome for shooters as well.
i bought my japanese saturn in japan for like $40 5 years ago and it still works pretty good to this day. and i got countless great fighters and beat em ups
Do you have Sonic R?
U travelled to japan or u imported on-line
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!)
i just bought japanese saturn can't wait for it to get here
I say we all chip in and send Felicity something for contributing so much to the show!
You go gamer girl!
The Dreamcast 2 hype train starts here. All Aboard!
+Me Yes it will. The Website I'm building with my team will make it happen.
***** WRONG. Very very WRONG comment. A fan created,designed,engineered,and concepted Dreamcast 2 console is currently sitting on the desk of the R&D office at SEGA Holdings,Co,Ltd in Japan.
***** Why don't you Google it?Instead of being a smart=ass?
Thanks but I like my Earth undistroyed
Still waiting!!!
Dreamcast 2 2199!!!! can't wait
Deamcast?
Me neither amazing rigth only a few more 100years
Do more Sega Saturn game reviews! Sega Saturn is the most underrated console ever imo. Can't get enough of this system and I love that you make videos on it.
This guy cracks me up
Man, that Grey looks so good.
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?”
This channel was my childhood
Man... I miss classic game room
I recently ordered a Japanese Sega Saturn the other day. It should arrive here at the house by the beginning of next month.
I still remember in 97...my dream was to have a Sega Saturn!!! And few years later I got a PS1...
You got the better console!, be happy!.
My Friend has a JP. Saturn at his Time, it was G R E A T ! ! !
But we all now that the PSX was the Winner of that Console Battle.
I like the BERSERK Game, that was really Fun to Play! Im a Arcade Child, so that was a Great Time. Im Play Saturn now...... THX
Sooner or later, I will have my Japanese Sega Saturn.
The Japanese logo is so much better than the US/EU one...
Camille De Bastiani To each his/her own.
The U.S was offered the the same model too! I have a Oct '95 model 1 with the oval buttons and access light!
...it is indeed black though and not grey with blue buttons.
i have the clear skeleton saturn its so cool that it even says "this is cool" right on the console
"Look at ALL these accessories that are... not included in this box." - lol! Love Mark!!
I'm from Argentina. Mark you say in the video that a US Saturn is cheaper, but basing in what I've seen on Ebay, american saturn is more expensive than the japanese one. I got a japanese saturn on ebay for U$S80, while an american one is U$S+150.
Same thing in Brazil. And some japanese models are on free shipping, crazy thing.
You had something good here, Mark. No idea why you just threw it all away.
I just got mine a couple days ago. And I got the pro action replay separately. Now I can play sega saturn games from all regions! :D
And this uploads the day I get my Model 1 Saturn.
Finally a decent explanation, thank you good sir! :D I only recently started watching Mark's videos, I'm watching the ones youtube throws at me, not in order and I haven't a seen all of them yet, thank you!
ive got a western one that's been converted to play Japanese and American still works like a trooper :) after 17 years , I love my Saturn
WoooooooooooooooW
That Saturn looks like NEW!
WTF... This is the Beauty of Gaming, i have one too, but mine is a Black standard PAL
(im from Swiss)
Such a simple design but still a sexy looking console.
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
I absolutely love my Sega Saturn. So many great 2d games on it and unique games from that era. It definitely is worth getting the action replay cart and getting RGB video out of it to play Radiant Silvergun and other great shooters in all their glory.
really like that grey saturn
Got my model 1 Japanese SEGA Saturn some years ago and got as much excitement looking at the pack in newspaper in the box Then I bought a model 2 US Saturn, after it stopped working correctly...
I'll watch your reviews even if it's something I don't care in the least about.. like a japanese sega saturn.. simply because you are so entertaining...
thanks for letting me know!
I've always wanted that poster....!!
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.
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.
I bought a boxed Victor RG-JX2 from Japan and its awesome!
With just a rubber band, I modified my U.S. Saturn to run any region games. My copy of Groove on fight works perfectly along with the expansion RAM.
Love Sega Saturn! Still is my most favor game console all time for I am a super fan of 2D fighting games!
livin in the past it can be rad.
Mister Freeman i see you came back finaly.
Great review! What Japanese games won't work on the North American Saturn with the Action Replay Cartridge?
MARK ! You are Epic... Now we know when Dreamcast 2 will release but problem is we be long dead before that.
Ahh the sega saturn it's still one of my favorite consoles.Mostly for what it did with 2D mark and it has aged well to,so congrats getting a 2nd one that will make a good back up.
That's a nice looking console.
Welcome to the elite club of gamers who own all four Sega consoles/add-ons. There are only a few of us. However, you are missing a Dreamcast.
that box is awesome
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.
plus even with the action replay games like samurai showdown 4 don't run smooth
really classy looking
I can approve of that future.
Whilst not everyone might like the Dreamcast 2 taking the crow, I for one welcome my new Overlord.
All hail Sega!
Awesome!! I love the sega Saturn it's my favorite console behind the pc engine duo.
No worries Mark. I'll catch you tonight for that drink.
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 😂
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
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.
Hey, 2199 is the year that the Space Battleship Yamato launches on her maiden voyage to save Earth from the Gamilons! (We knew the show under its American title, Star Blazers)
Perhaps the people at Sega were honoring that legendary anime.
Love your videos :D
the saturn posses some of the best japanese exclusive games. no wonder the saturn was a beast in japan back in the days. dodonpachi....never heard of this game...it's time do to a an ebay search
If you don't like the way Mark reviews things there are hundreds of other classic game reviewers on TH-cam.
Mark sounds like a proud father talks about his son.
Huzzuh! I'm waiting for a Skeleton Saturn I just purchased from Japan to turn up, it says 'this is cool' on the cd lid, so I'll defo be in the coolio club!
vuhuu I am in the cool club: I have a vectrex, a saturn and a dreamcast :D
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).
Xbox One X
Sega saturn
N64
The 3 consoles i play the most
I don't have a japanese saturn, but I do have a CIB saturn with an EXTREMELY low s/n and two pre-release dreamcast rental consoles.
There, folks, we know, we have it, it's official. The Sega Dreamcast 2 releases in 2199, and of course that would be on September 9th, 2199.
Thank You
the one he has is the cheeper model 2 usa saturn that does not have the cd drive LED light. Mine is the older model and looks like the japanese saturn but is black. and also has the glossy led covers. and I play japanese saturn games on it all the time useing a simple conver cart even though i have a japan saturn.
The Japanese model looks better. It's not as bland. Actually, I really like it.
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).
I think he is in there in the Space Arcade with Mark because last time he was protecting Sega from a rocket, he went to space.
So can u buy a Japanese Saturn plug it in and play only Japanese games or US too
I think I'm just gonna get all the Saturn games I want when I go to Japan (which I'm hoping will be within the next 1-2 yrs.)
this show got me buying a genesis and now i guess ill be buying a saturn now haha
I cannot fathom the appeal of having a sega saturn. I took so much shit as a kid for having only a Sega Saturn while everyone else was cracking open their brand new Xboxes and Gamecubes.
I was extremely confused when he commented that it was cheaper to buy an american saturn. i then found out that the video was uploaded 9 years ago. lol
I both owned a Saturn and a Dreamcast
Felicity is on fire!
I have a white Saturn coming in the mail as well as some other consoles directly from Yahoo Auctions Japan.
It's actually a LOT cheaper to buy them there. (Using Shopping Mall Japan or similar.)
I got a Japanese 360 for ~100€ with shipping and many consoles for 1€.
Prices on there are really insane. You just have to buy a LOT of stuff to make the shipping worth it.
Segata Sanshiro approves of Mark!
I chose this one over the white one with pink buttons because that one was just not my style.
Awesome!
So wait the hst3200 was before Hst001 ?? Are are the numbers on the box always different from the console ?
Bruce Campbell is too cool for cool club
1:14 That's probably the model number of the box. XD LOL LMAO ROFL
Indeed do, though I feel like I forgot something lol (Forgot my non HD Genny model 1 though it was in the total count and that both Intellivision's were first model and didnt mention which I have boxes for ^^). Thanks for the help towards induction ^^
i got 2 saturns but one doesnt read cds anymore any suggestions on how to fix it
My friend got one along time ago and had his modded to play american games with the flip of a switch and I had mines moded to play japanies games so we could import games that never came to the U.S. man I miss those days. That was before gamestop took over the market.
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.
ehh, depends on what you mean by best, it had more content but lost out on effects.
I have a dream that one day MArk will move to Japan and team up with Luke to make a SUPER CHANNEL
I'm as cool as Lord Karnage because I own a Dreamcast? AWESOME!
i can feel the animal inside pounding at the doors of my mind
You seem new here, welcome!
I'm going to have to pass my saturn onto my great great great grandchildren
I own a sega dreamcast and a sega genesis so I am already in the cool club :)
I can verify that J-Saturns can play North American games by using a converter cartridge. I own only a J-Saturn and I use the ARP cart to play the few North American Saturn games that I own.
