That seems way above market, this specific model goes on sale for about 400.000₩ in Seoul (so about USD 340$) unless you want it complete in box. Even with a finder markup fee and export fee, you should not have to pay for more than at worst 600$~800$ in North America with a decent local contact. Koreans don’t care that much about this hardware. I agree with the video that the bigger issue is finding it.
Sega is a weird game company, especially when they were still making hardware. I'm still trying to get over the 50 million versions of the Genesis that they made and here I am learning about certain versions of the Saturn that were released, as well.
2:25 WWII-era trade restrictions between Japan & South Korea were lifted in 1998, which opened the floodgates for K-pop to crossover to J-pop, not that you entirely care about music or anything
Thanks for the video Adam. I have realized over the years I love the Saturn as much as you love the dreamcast. Wish new games would come out for it like the dreamcast
This was pretty neat to see. I used to collect Korean games (particularly for the PS2) and it was a real nightmare. Very few games were actually listed on western sites like eBay and when they were, they would sometimes have insanely inflated prices. It seems to be easier to find games today but prices are just ludicrous now. South Korea just does not want the outside world getting hold of their games so unless you have connections with someone in Korea, collecting Korean games is no easy task. I think Samsung also released the Master System and Genesis in South Korea.
Special variants of consoles for smaller markets are always really interesting. Like the Indian NES Variants or how in Brazil there were eventually „official“ releases from third parties for famiclones. Famiclones in itself are wild especially when they expand upon the famicoms capabilities like the famiclone computers by subor wich had 3.5“ Floppy drives, extended Ram and an actual OS with installable applications etc. The Subor SB2000 in particular is a very interesting beast.
It's insane how expensive the Samsung Saturn games are on ebay. I can't wait until someone can perfectly replicate these games/boxes and they work as good, if not better, then the original disc. I get it when you collect AND you play but when you only collect or just flips for the cash, these people are just pains in the ass for those who genuinely would pay the money if it wasn't so astronomical.
I bet it would be possible once we have discs that work the exact same as the original discs, however I don’t think that people are trying to do that, & instead are just making sure we have dumps of these discs preserved so that people can play it off an SD card rather than wear out their own lasers
Basically SEGA imitated the deal 3DO offered to them a few years before, SEGA did lots of hardware license since the Genesis, saturn and they might have though doing it with the dreamcast too, imagine if Epic makes it´s own version of the Ps5.... or Tencent..... mmm....., also the current "gamepass" stuff was already in sega Channel yes but Trip Hawkins wanted to do the same thing, one of the business deals he offered to the ones that wanted to invest and be partners of the 3DO project was to have special deals with cable networks to offer through the cable box "3DO gaming services", also he talked about internet gaming through deals with AT&T, all of this he said in a conference in 1993, sega channel came in 1994, so SEGA kinda copied the sega Channel idea from 3DO too
9:06 The word "Sega" is on this cover 6 times, "rally" 3 times, "championship" and "netlink" two times. They really wanted you to know what was up with this game. If you take the front cover literally, the full title of this game is "Sega Rally Championship Sega Sega Rally Championship Plus International Rally Netlink Edition"
Those designs and price choices they made have me going "Why?" so much. That has to be one of the strongest consoles I've ever seen. These things being ungodly rare I wonder if anyone has compiled a complete list of which games work and which ones don't? I'm going to assume there isn't one but that would be crazy if there was one.
Here's a funny story Adam: about a week ago, I texted my mother one of your videos [The Nintendo 64 Retrospective video] & believe it or not, She said "He's that bearded video game geek who travels the world, right?" I was floored.
Rabbit was developed by Aorn for the ST-V (which I assume everyone watching this video knows is the arcade board sharing the Saturn architecture). The home version was published by Electronic Arts Victor when Sameshima Yasuhiko, who was well connected to several smaller arcade peeps back then, briefly became its president. Same connection that got us unexpected Electronic Arts titles such as Sōkyūgurentai and Battle Garegga from Eighting on the Saturn. Sameshima only lasted one fiscal year or so at the head of EAV. Surely by a complete coincidence, Sameshima is currently the president of Eighting.
Ohhhh boy... I've been waiting for this Rare Variant ever since you mentioned this console in [I believe] your SEGA Variants Video! EDIT: I just realized that I wrote this comment on my SAMSUNG Phone... what a coincidence!
Just a theory but this is a reason why they didn’t include Korean language. South Korea is one of the few countries were just about everyone can speak 2 languages; that being English and Korean. Along with Germany it’s one of the few places where many people learn almost fluent English. It could also be that since they were only making 3000 they didn’t want to waste the resources in translating languages, a lot of times in coding changing or adding a single letter can have a cascading effect on the code and break functionality, so it wasn’t worth it until they knew the saturn would perform well; which it didn’t. Anyways great vid as always
the majority of Koreans CANNOT read OR speak English fluently. Not even close. A lot of people, from old to young, even hate and fear English as it's forced onto them by the educational system there (which isn't useful IRL as the level of English that gets taught is pitiful). Most people only know one language, which is Korean. What most likely happened is that they couldn't be bothered with translating and modifying the BIOS and all of that for a product with such limited reach (this is what happened with the Nintendo GameCube in South Korea, distributed by Daewon CI, which had a Japanese BIOS. The console and the games being translated into Korean all had a Japanese region code, and you can actually run Japanese games on a Korean GameCube).
This is so freakin cool. I will never get one probably but I want one. But then again never thought I would get a sg 1000. Cool video and thanks for showing us rare stuff.
Some fun facts : Hyundai Electronics(distributor of NES, SNES, N64 in Korea) is now SK Hynix, which is known as SSDs. There are very few Samsung Saturn models which are Region-lock Free models(BIOS code is NTSC-2-V1.02a) that can run all region Sega Saturn games, but they are super rare. There was a company called Wooyoung System who released few localized Sega Saturn games, but ironically they worked on JP region so Samsung Saturn can't run their games. Kama(or Karma, Idk) Entertainment, who imported Sony Playstation in Korea, also released Sega Saturn(Japanese Region w/ 220V Power Supply).
10:10 yeah sure enough usually you'd see 'nihongo' in Japanese down in the lower corner but it's strangely just ... absent?! I was wondering if the action replay/pseudo saturn cart would work on that model, good to know you can at least get more use out of it! what a bizarre console.
The Samsung Saturn. A rare sight to see these days. Thank you to Saturn HST for selling this to you so you can make a video on it for us to enjoy. Man the South Koreans really got screwed with how this thing was built didn't they. I mean you clearly didn't really put a decent effort in putting out games for it, didn't put Korean language support in, etc, etc... Why not just make it region free?
I’ve been wanting to add one to my Saturn collection. I’m currently at 7 Saturns. Only 2 of them are kinda rare, (HiSaturn and V.Saturn ), both are model 1’s.
Haha what a weird version of the Saturn. I thought I needed an action replay for my north American console you really need one for that version of the Saturn
I think Panzer Dragoon II Zweii, the USA/CAN version, is one of those games that has two boot sequences. It boots in both NTSC-U/C and NTSC-J for whatever reason. I wonder if its one of those games that are theoretically compatible with the Samsung Saturn
3DO in South Korea was distributed by LG but in the US GoldStar which they merged with Lucky to create the company we know now as LG made their own 3DO
I thought of some other names for this one. The KoreaSaturn, the Seoul Saturn, the Hot Import Saturn (uses NA case), the Saturn with No Sega, and the Korean Man’s Hentai Console.
i remember seeing reports on this elusive system years ago and i seem to remember it bein metioned that samsung saturns dont actually have a fuctioning reset button for some reason, can this be confirmed?

I would want everybody else to know this knowledge I came across trying to run my back up discs of my original SFZ3 and other ram games with flashed pseudo Saturn carts accordingly. Thanks again Adam.
This reminds me of Daewoo. They made great speakers, but also made cars. When General Motors bought the automotive division, they sold existing models of Daewoo cars in Europe, but they simply slapped the Chevrolet name on them.

@@AdamKoralik Personally I wouldn't a regular Saturn is fine for me but for the same reason I'm curious it exists I'm also curious if you stuck a mode in it would it work ? I imagine if the hardware is compatible it opens it up to the full library. Although obviously back when this thing was relevant the mode wasn't an option for people i get that.
How are you able to get all these rare systems? I rarely see them on ebay and when I do, they’re VERY expensive! I’d like to one day open my own arcade, one machine I’d like to have in it would be a Photo Play machine, which I played a good few of in France and The Netherlands, but there doesn’t seem to be any on ebay!
I wonder if there is a polish sega saturn out there with a electronic brand name that is insane hearing about this saturn it sucks the Saturn is basically the hardest system to get next to the atari 5200
So freaking rare. Saw one on ebay for like $3,000 a few months ago

@@AdamKoralik each to their own I guess I'm very practical in what I buy not a collector I guess I only buy stuff for functionality reasons
@@ianvincent5069 Why would you get such an obscure version then?
@@AdamKoralik Personally I wouldn't a regular Saturn is fine for me but for the same reason I'm curious it exists I'm also curious if you stuck a mode in it would it work ? I imagine if the hardware is compatible it opens it up to the full library. Although obviously back when this thing was relevant the mode wasn't an option for people i get that.
@@ianvincent5069 Oh, technologically speaking I'm sure it would.
does a TecToy variant exist?
Yes.
@@AdamKoralikwill you review it?
@@darkmagicians62 I don't have one, I showed it in my PRGE 2023 video on my travel channel though.
How are you able to get all these rare systems? I rarely see them on ebay and when I do, they’re VERY expensive! I’d like to one day open my own arcade, one machine I’d like to have in it would be a Photo Play machine, which I played a good few of in France and The Netherlands, but there doesn’t seem to be any on ebay!
Didn't I explain that in the video?
LG was previously known as Goldstar and there exists a Goldstar 3DO.
Damn dude, haven't seen you in a while. Welcome back.
@@AdamKoralik hey buddy. Still a subscriber and following on Instagram. Not much of a gamer any more but still enjoying your great videos😊
The korean sega saturn is... Something
Adam: "I don't advocate for digital games"
Epic Games: Shenmue 3 is free today.
Adam: "Okay, one time, ONE"
I didn't get it, I just let people know about it.
I wonder if there is a polish sega saturn out there with a electronic brand name that is insane hearing about this saturn it sucks the Saturn is basically the hardest system to get next to the atari 5200
SAMSUNG released the Master System as the Gam*Boy and the Mega Drive as the Super Gam*Boy in South Korea. One would think you'd know about this! ???
I do, now.
@ "new objective unlocked" then 😂😂
Not related to this but shenmue 3 is free on pc :) guess I can see what all the hype was about
I shall dub this version of the system, The Cherry Picker
Am i the only one wondering what’s behind that door?
My office.
