Yeah the Saturn is more of a niche nerdy machine in the US. I don’t remember seeing many growing up. I know I got mine late to the party pretty much just so I could mod it to play Japanese games and get Xmen vs SF.
Dreamcast was way more successful in the US. But being able to pirate games without a damn modchip completely ruined that system. God damn disc juggler being able to burn games to work without modchips!
Utopia Boot Disc
Yeah but it got way easier that people who had no clue about even downloading and burning stuff could play the games without that and no risk of jacking up a console with a modchip.
the Dreamcast was my first importing experience. I bought a imported Dreamcast and Soul Calibur at the time and holed up at a lady’s house that I was dating. Even bought the Agetec stick.
Man, I miss those times (games of course).
They do. They would have to translate some games but they could have 30 games easy on there.
sure. I guess. Doesn’t mean they will
There’s nostalgia for it…in Japan…and my heart. The AGES line on the 3DS started out for Japanese nostalgia and ended coming west and other systems. It would take more work as noted, but I could see Sega applying the same line of thinking for a Saturn mini.
It was going strong in Japan, before Bernie Stolar, happened
A Saturn mini would sell but you got to have the right games which for due to various circumstances maybe not worth the effort. Even Sony had issues getting their better games to their mini emulation, I imagine Sega would have even more difficulty despite having more first party stuff.
The PS Classic was also rushed as fuck and wasn’t done right. PAL versions of PS1 games running on NTSC sets, foh with that shit. Luckily it was easily fixed by plugging a USB keyboard in.
A Saturn mini console with 2 controllers would be awesome. Dreamcast ports are everywhere. RetroArch+Mednafen is a good substitute if your CPU is decent. The Mednafen creator is amazing. He is the only one who managed to do it and he also made the best PS1 emulator I have ever had the pleasure of using.
Serious question: what quality exclusives did the Saturn have? I never owned one or knew anyone who did, and all I ever heard about was Panzer Dragoon Saga and X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
At 16:12 he is asked if he ever had a conversation with Marvel about making a Marvel fighting game and says yes he has. On being asked when this conversation took place he said he probably shouldn’t talk about it. It wasn’t specified if this was Midway Games or the current NRS but for him to decline an elaboration sounds like it’d be more recent.
Aside from that, Ed Boon is a funny guy. Oh yeah I want that Looney Toons fighting game.
That’s top 10 things I don’t want in a fighting game.
Guardian Heroes was one of the good ones on Saturn, but it ended up coming to Live Arcade on 360 last gen…and probably PSN as well(?)…but yeah it wasn’t much on that system that jumped out at me… just Guardian Heroes, Xmen vs. Street Fighter and the other Capcom fighters at the time (they also had Night Warriors, if I recall…and the regular Marvel Superheroes)… and that 8-player(!) FirePro Wrestling greatness.
The Saturn had a lot of good games including exclusives. It was the golden years of gaming for me as a kid(including up to the dreamcast era) because my older bro was a working teen at the time so he’d buy a ton of games.
They could add the Shining games, Panzer Dragoon games, Guardian Heroes, several other RPGs such as Dragon Force, platformers like Bug and Clockwork Knight, a bunch of arcade games, etc etc…
You guys have some weird nostalgia boners.
You asked if they have enough games to support it. Then you reply with some dumb shit like, “Sure, doesn’t mean they will.”
Then you reply again, with some more dumb shit.
How is dumb considering the people who are making the Genesis mini saying is isn’t likely to happen.
Take your fandom down a notch bruh. It’s not like I’m personally attacking you or I shot your dog
Wtf? He literally just said what kind of games Saturn had that he liked and you had to say some dumb shit for no reason lol. Like, “weird nostalgia boner”? What the fuck does that even mean?
