@chipsturs hey man, its me, the video store guy again lol. i was in oklahoma city yesterday and bought a sega saturn in the box with 2 controllers and about 8 games for 30 dollars! i couldnt believe it! i couldnt be happier with it. i have been playing it non-stop.
Call me crazy but I gave my favorite console of all time to my brother-in-law as a Christmas gift. He had to sell all his game systems to make his rent, so I gave him my Saturn because I knew just how much he loved it. His face lit up all crazt and I guess it was worth it even though, I'll miss my Saturn a lot at least my brother-in-law has something to play that he loves as well.
@fireheartgames Well that was a really cool christmas gift and very thoughtful! and i hope he invites you over sometime to have an evening or two with him on it.
@Chipsturs Thank you for the nice comment. We've actually have been trying to set up a time, but so far we have been both busy with work. Thanks for all the great reviews you show us and you do a great job on them.
@devastaticon lol well it's on the agenda. currently just using the camcorder as a microphone and then placing the file in the microphone track. i'll get there one day.
A great review, very professional and of a high grade and quality. My only suggestion would be to add just a bit more detail, it seemed as through you were rushing through certain areas. With that aside, a near perfect review. Keep up the great work.
What is there in the video is good but your review is just too short. Footage of games and more detail on them would be preferable. I still clicked like on it, since your effort was a good one.
I purchased a White Japanese sega saturn from ebay and I have around 15 japanese exclusives for it which are amazing, for example, Grandia, Marvel Superheroes vs Street Fighter, Metal Slug. Anyone who is thinking of buying a saturn, get a japanese one, or at least an action replay to enable you to play imported games! Its worth it! :D
Stupid youtube subscriptions page never shows me your vids anymore! Another excellent review as always dude! I can't believe I almost missed this one!
Oh man...i had the Saturn back in the days with 25 games or so...soooo many great games,the whole panzer dragoon series,sega rally,nights,etc...great memories,and one of my favourite systems of all time....SEGA!!
@Chipsturs I agree that this is an excelent review, and definitely the best Sega Saturn review currently on Youtube. However, I disagree with the suggestion for more humor on your reviews. Most of the time, it feels forced, and even when done right it makes the review less professional. There are already too many "comedians" on YouTube, and I find you are a refreshing change, so please, don't change that! :)
@Gamester81 Cheers John :) i really enjoyed digging the console out and spending some more time on it. It's one system i'd like to keep hooked up to the tv all the time.
Excellent review as always James! I still enjoy picking up new gems for this system from time to time. It started out as my favorite of that generation (Daytona USA & Virtua Fighter blew me away) but I eventually strayed to the PSX like most.
Once the Sony library took off and the dual shock controllers came out, my Saturn began collecting dust. It wasn't until years later that I realized what a great console this still was, and finally enjoyed gaming on it again.
@WAANGTHEZOMBIES Yeah i totally agree the arcade ports are awesome! and i'm looking to add to my collection of saturn games with some japanese titles. thanks for the great comment.
Nice review dude, This system is one in my private collection and was really no.1 on my wishlist. How manay games do you have for the system? And do you know what the difference is between the saturan with round buttons and the ellips buttons? I have the one with the elips buttons
Excellent stuff, James :) The Saturn has always been a cult favourite of mine. It was marketed poorly, sales suffered in a big way and the boxes (PAL) were atrocious. With all that said I still love it and feel it was - and remains - thoroughly underappreciated! :)
I went from the Sega Genesis to the Dreamcast never got a saturn, but i do want to get one. I want to play Shining Force 3 on it someday. Great Review!
@troubl8385 from what i have heard and seen shining force 3 is one of the better games on the saturn although i've still got to play the first one on the genesis myself, but i do love a game with a tactical approach as well :)
Sega Rally Championship got a lot of us growing up into rally racing. Saturn I think had the best controllers ever, I love both the standard and 3D controller with the analog stick.
@princedavid0 i'd love to own the arcade version, it's probably the one arcade i have spent the most amount of time on, and the saturn controller definately sits very comfortably, nice shaped too :)
This is also the first console to allow dialup online multiplayer gaming in the household. Even though it could do 3D gaming, it was probably the best console for 2D games in the 90's.
Great review James! It would have been even better if you had used a ton of jump cuts. Har har har! No really, I love my Saturn. It's worth picking one up just to play Nights with the 3D controller. Die Hard Arcade is another one of my favorites.
@vintagevideogamegeek ROFL i always read your comments out to my wife and we were both in stiches lol. and i have no come back :D and i'm looking to pick up die hard arcade now.
It's a tie up between this and the N64 as to my choice of greatest console ever. Thanks for making this fantastic video review. What it has that most of today's consoles don't is atmosphere - for example modern driving games just don't seem half as fast. There's kind of a pier end arcade feel to the graphics that makes you think of donuts and ice creams. And the music- well it has yet to be beaten!
My favourite game was Pebble Beach Links Golf, many happy hours spent playing this!
@stellarartwars07 Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and i love what you said about the pier end arcade feel to the games on the saturn, that is so true!
Excellent review James, I've reviewed this console as well and I agree it's an underated classic. I hope to be able to get more titles for the system including some that not many people may know about.
@HighAnnoyedReviewer Hey nick i've added your review to the response section, and thanks for posting it! and i'm also looking for more titles there's so many i almost don't know where to start.
Great review! At the time I honestly didn't play much of the Sega Saturn. I would have been 11 at the time of release and my parents weren't too enthusiastic on dropping a couple hundered dollars to buy console after console lol. Maybe someday I'll get around to picking one of these up and see what I missed out on.
I got the Sega Saturn 2 years before I got the Playstation and I enjoyed my time with it. I still have my original one back from 1996 but as you explained about the battery in the video, it is now dead and need to get a new one in order to save games.
I really want to get Panzer Dragoon Saga since it seems to be a classic on it but man it goes for £100+ easily on ebay and not going to force myself to pay that much.
Thumbs up for mentioning NiGHTS, which is my favourite game on the console.
@Darro85 Yeah my battery is dead to, i must replace mine as well, and blimmey your quite right about the saga version lol, i'll add that to my wish list..
Best Games not in order. - Panzer Dragoon Saga + 1 and 2 - Dark Savior - NiGHTS - Alien trilogy - Resident evil - Shining force 3 - Burning Rangers - Saturn Bomberman - Torico - Shining the holy ark - . the house of the dead - Command and conquer -.Exhumed - Guardian Heroes - Mystaria - Deep Fear - Darkseed (import) - Metal slug (import) - Bomberman fight (import) - Shining force scen 2, 3 (import) -. Crusador no remorse -Landgrisser (Import) The list goes on..
@steve5123456789 Thanks for the great list! i'll be checking out a few of those i haven't heard of before, i love exhumed that's a classic i don't think i ever completed it, maybe i'll pop that one in again.
@Chipsturs I was surprised I thought it was going to be a crappy port like DOOM but it was really good, game saves, and everything. There all the games I own and also Christmas NiGHTS, there all the very best the console has for sure theres also Enemy zero but I wouldn't buy it, maybe its more your cup of tea, and Lunar (jap import) and Albert odyssey (US import rare tho)you will need to read the translations off the internet, print it off for lunar) then you step into mediocre games.
@Chipsturs Lastly I highly recommend Alien trilogy its the best FPS on the Saturn in my opinon, much better than the ps1 version you really feel like your in the game, ps AVIOD DOOM, Duke Nukem 3d, Hexen.
O and Dragon force, and Die Hard Arcade you might want to check out people say its really good Dragon force, I didn't like it much tho; you might.
Great review, I've been really interested in getting a Sega Saturn for a while now but I can't find it for relatively cheap anywhere. On eBay it's pretty pricy it seems but my local video game store has a lot of the systems for $60 Canadian. Not sure if that's a good deal or not. I'd assume that they come with just the hookups and one controller.
@jester1828 Well thank you for watching :) and i hope you can pick up a great deal if you do decide to add one to your collection. there are so many fantastic games for the system
I own every nintendo, sony, microsoft and saga console ever...... except the saturn and PS3, I really can't beleive that the saturn did not have a 3D sonic game!!! Its flagship series was totally ignored.... look at the impact of mario 64 on the n64!!!! the saturn needed a sonic equivilent for the saturn, i know they were making it but there were complications and someone died or something so it was abandoned but i never saw any reason to own a saturn at all.....
@snowball1988 The Saturn did have a 3D sonic game. Check out a game called Sonic Jam it featured the classic sonic games from the magadrive/genesis .. Sonic 1,2,3 & Sonic & Knuckles & then a 3D Sonic game. :)
Great review. I am constantly torn between the Saturn and the Dreamcast as my favorite consoles. Both are always connected to my TV and they receive far more play than any other system I own. I love taking the Saturn to meet ups and seeing people's reactions as they play rare gems they have never heard of.
And to anyone considering owning a Saturn: Buy a Pro Action Replay 4 in 1 immediately. The Japanese SEGA Saturn library is legendary.
@wip3outguy7 WOW that is a really cool idea and i should do exactly the same, i can tell you are very passionate about both systems and i'm not surprised you are torn between them, the games catelog is huge lol.
Great Saturn reviews Chipsturs. I enjoyed reliving the Saturn history also. I bought my Saturn back in the day on the strength of Sega Rally alone and still love that game on this system to this day! ^_^
@TheGebs24 Hey gemma :) thanks for the kind comment and i always seem to struggle to get in to my sega saturn boxes especially the full plastic cases lol :)
great video as always chips! i really enjoyed this video of your thoughts on the console since i've never owned one! thanx for uploading and can't wait for your next video! :D
@Fuelsterister Hi Thomas :) thank you for commenting, i always look forward to hearing from you, and i can't wait to crack on with the next review :) James
It was one of the systems that I completely missed out on, but one thing that impressed me about the saturn is that the saturn had an awesome selection of video games that were saturn exclusives. That system had an amazing library of anime style games for the North American market. I took the time to collect every one of them.
@TheCompletionist Thanks for the great comment and for the memories, there really are some solid gems for the system that really stand out, and some great exclusives.i'm still after dragon force.
@emojo1990 oh now i'm with you there, virtua cop 2 is awesome! i'd like to review it for the sega saturn, but i have already done a review on the playstation version.
@carbootgamerUK Thanks Daniel :) i was speaking to vintagevideogamegeek the other day on skype and we were talking about that game, i only have the die hard trilogy version. did you play that ?
@Chipsturs Die hard trilogy was a good game but the arcade die hard was amazing. Quite expensive to buy from ebay , I got it for £3 from a carboot lol. I suggest you do a review when you get a copy :)
It would be important to point out that the Saturn was a commercial failure in both North American and Europe but was quite successful in Japan with games still being made up until December 2000, giving it a 6 years lifespan.
@bsg7 ROFL blimmey you really were listening carefully and why on earth does it sound like i'm saying Virgin, must have been rushing the speech, lol, and thank you for the really kind comment :)
Great video James great to see a new one from you!, I still remember when I used to play with mine to me it was a great console still like it till this day.
@WeirdRicky Thanks Ricky :) it's great to be back with a new video and back on a sunday as well, i hope to make this a more regular fixture from now on. and thank you for the cool memory :)
I got a Sega Saturn Model 1 boxed in great condition for £15 last year and I love it. It is definitely underrated. It is a shame that Sega rushed it's release in NA. I do need some more games for it like Nights. I need to also pick up an action replay so I can play import games on it. Great video James.
@sulley1993 geeez that was a bargin! nice one James :) i'd also like to import a few titles as well Japan certainly benefitted from the system alot more than we did here in europe and america, and there are massives of games out there :o
@CDScythe Hey you are very welcome :) i've been wanting to give this great system some love for a long time! i've got a few more items i want to review from this system in the future as well :)
@chipsturs hey man, its me, the video store guy again lol. i was in oklahoma city yesterday and bought a sega saturn in the box with 2 controllers and about 8 games for 30 dollars! i couldnt believe it! i couldnt be happier with it. i have been playing it non-stop.

Great review, I've been really interested in getting a Sega Saturn for a while now but I can't find it for relatively cheap anywhere. On eBay it's pretty pricy it seems but my local video game store has a lot of the systems for $60 Canadian. Not sure if that's a good deal or not. I'd assume that they come with just the hookups and one controller.

Thanks for being so informative. I was never too interested in picking up a Saturn until I watched this video.

I own every nintendo, sony, microsoft and saga console ever...... except the saturn and PS3, I really can't beleive that the saturn did not have a 3D sonic game!!! Its flagship series was totally ignored.... look at the impact of mario 64 on the n64!!!! the saturn needed a sonic equivilent for the saturn, i know they were making it but there were complications and someone died or something so it was abandoned but i never saw any reason to own a saturn at all.....

@snowball1988 The Saturn did have a 3D sonic game. Check out a game called Sonic Jam it featured the classic sonic games from the magadrive/genesis .. Sonic 1,2,3 & Sonic & Knuckles & then a 3D Sonic game. :)

Great review. I am constantly torn between the Saturn and the Dreamcast as my favorite consoles. Both are always connected to my TV and they receive far more play than any other system I own. I love taking the Saturn to meet ups and seeing people's reactions as they play rare gems they have never heard of.
And to anyone considering owning a Saturn: Buy a Pro Action Replay 4 in 1 immediately. The Japanese SEGA Saturn library is legendary.

@wip3outguy7 ive never even played saturn ;( but i can see myself liking it more than snes and megadrive
SOUTHWESTENZ 9 months ago
@wip3outguy7 WOW that is a really cool idea and i should do exactly the same, i can tell you are very passionate about both systems and i'm not surprised you are torn between them, the games catelog is huge lol.

Great Saturn reviews Chipsturs. I enjoyed reliving the Saturn history also. I bought my Saturn back in the day on the strength of Sega Rally alone and still love that game on this system to this day! ^_^

It was one of the systems that I completely missed out on, but one thing that impressed me about the saturn is that the saturn had an awesome selection of video games that were saturn exclusives. That system had an amazing library of anime style games for the North American market. I took the time to collect every one of them.

@TheCompletionist Thanks for the great comment and for the memories, there really are some solid gems for the system that really stand out, and some great exclusives.i'm still after dragon force.

I never really liked my Saturn. I only really loved one game and that was Die Hard Arcade.
Great review mate , the way reviews should be done mate.

@carbootgamerUK Thanks Daniel :) i was speaking to vintagevideogamegeek the other day on skype and we were talking about that game, i only have the die hard trilogy version. did you play that ?
Chipsturs 9 months ago
@Chipsturs Die hard trilogy was a good game but the arcade die hard was amazing. Quite expensive to buy from ebay , I got it for £3 from a carboot lol. I suggest you do a review when you get a copy :)

It would be important to point out that the Saturn was a commercial failure in both North American and Europe but was quite successful in Japan with games still being made up until December 2000, giving it a 6 years lifespan.

I got a Sega Saturn Model 1 boxed in great condition for £15 last year and I love it. It is definitely underrated. It is a shame that Sega rushed it's release in NA. I do need some more games for it like Nights. I need to also pick up an action replay so I can play import games on it. Great video James.

@sulley1993 geeez that was a bargin! nice one James :) i'd also like to import a few titles as well Japan certainly benefitted from the system alot more than we did here in europe and america, and there are massives of games out there :o
