This is one of my favorate games for the Saturn. I bought the system when it first came out on a saturday; and I remember Sega saying "Saturn Day" when it came out. I bought it with Panzer Dragoon, another great title. I'm glad that I bought the system; because when Xmen vs SF, Marvel Super Heroes vz SF came out, I was in heaven. Both games came with a jap 4mb cart, I went out and bought the 4mb action replay and it was awesome!
Your story sounds a lot like my own, it's eerie. I was a store manager for Babbage's at the same time you worked for Software Etc (does your skin crawl when you hear Neostar?) I was the lone champion for the Saturn in my stores. SFA 2 was that game I put up against the PS to show the trouble it had with 2D character animation. The Saturn was born and bred for 2D. Guardian Heroes is a masterpiece. I only have the disc of it as I stupidly never bought it when I had the chance! Great video!
@captainmilehigh LOL @ Neostar. Experts in paycheck screw ups and nothing else. And I must admit, I was a complete Playstation whore until SFA2. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice vid, "cool story bro;" my story is I actually got this from a funco land back in the day. I was originally there to buy some other game, Astal I think(looked cool in a magazine) but it wasn't in stock. So messing around on the 5-8~ demo stations they had, I played through the first level on story mode and said "I gotta have this thing." Lost/sold/idk it a few years later, and bought it again last year: just as awesome as I remember it, no regret. Spread the gospel!
That was quite interesting, especially the first few minutes talking about Software Etc. and the comparison between SFA2 on the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. I've played Guardian Heroes a little but never owned, so I can't put much nostalgic value on it, but it does demand a pretty hefty price tag these days, so congrats on getting a copy you're happy with. I LOL'ed at the random images too.
I love beat um ups and I love the saturn sadly I've never played it I think I still have a add from the saturn promo adv sheet I feel like I saw it a millon times in store back then and never picked it up maybe I'll find a good deal some day
holy sh*t that foam insert is awesome LOL!! Seriously though, great video, I must look into this game, I have come across it only when looking on ebay for Guardian Force !!! Looks really cool. I'll have a couple more Saturn shooter reviews up this week, geez I love that system.
Ah, I love Guardian Heroes. I actually sent it off for a friend to borrow, who ended up keeping it for about six years. I was talking to a guy about buying his copy to help fund his move overseas whenever I received my original copy, out of the blue, in my PO box.
The guy included a short note saying that he was sorry and thanking me for loaning it to him. I don't even know how he still had my address.
Now the copy is in my No One Touch drawer, safe and sound.
Awesome man! I'm glad you made this, and thanks for sharing some of your gaming history with us.
When I was in 8th grade, everyone had a PlayStation or Nintendo 64. Only one friend had a Saturn, and I'm glad he did! Guardian Heroes was one game he talked about, and every time I visited him, we would play it for hours on end. Needless to say, it is one of the games that made me want to buy a Saturn over anything else at the time, and I ended up receiving the system for my birthday that year.
@wip3outguy7 Haha, no.. Nothing I have now is original, except maybe my N-Gage.. My collection had some massive casualties when I went on a massive selling-spree back in 2006.
The Xbox 360 port comes out tomorrow, everyone interested get the trial tomorrow (October 12th, 2011)

I don't have one either, though. I'm getting one just to play Guardian Heroes. It'll be my Guardian Heroes Machine, lol.
