  • These were likely the coolest damn' commercials to 1995 stoners.

  • Well, most people that see this are too young to remember the way MTV effected the youth of America in the late 80's. This was the appeal they were trying to have, that fast, flashy 90's MTV liquid television style of television.

  • 0_o weird...

    

  • God damn Sega and your weird ads... You make Sony seem sane.

  • :) Elements from Super Sonic Racing in Sonic Generations :)

    SEGA SATURN rulez ;)

  • Yelawolf in this bitch!

  • The future is the 3ds not the sega saturn but still cool though. Go sonic r!!!!

  • It looked pretty cool. Then the guy in the red hat showed up.

  • everybody's super sonic racing

  • sega should,ve clearly docommented their hardware for game developers and make tools to convert hardware languanges,tpye polygons etc,,, etc,, from othe consoles to the saturn system.

    they also should,ve docummented how to overcome some limmitations of their hardware and how to use all proccesors smoothly/

    this would,ve make it developers much easier of making and porting games to it,without the need of guessing what to do and reverse engineering,the saturn hardware and game engines!!!

  • @johneymute that's true for back then but now the use of 3 or more processors is common to the point where it's emulators work better then the ones for the n64 even thought their open source. SSF is made by 1 guy and has full compatibility with all the top games. the n64 people can't even get pkmn snap to work right see EX:watch?v=eEC02hp90vQ . what really killed it was the price if they had used cheaper parts that were more common it would have sold better and much easyer to develope for.

  • thumbs up if the super sonic racing remix in sonic generations brought u here

  • Its.... Beautiful

  • This is why sega failed

  • Did anyone call that number at the end? It's a phone sex hotline. Not even messing with you right now. Call. It's hot. As hot as that girl with the rings on her bald-ass head.

  • 2:25-2:28 Skyrim? :D

  • This scares me

    

  • i called the number for the nearest retailer....now a phonesex line

  • They should've let Sonic actually introduce the Saturn instead of this crap.

  • first i thought she was describing segata sanshiro! XD

  • It's that good? Really, Sega?

  • I only watched up to the "Introducing, SEGA Saturn" part. Little did the people up to that part know, they would be sampled in Sonic Generations.

  • as undeniably cheesy as this is...it still takes me back and i cant help but smile!!! :-D

  • Who at sega thought this would promote their product? I have nothing against the sega Saturn it's one of my favorite consoles

  • Saturn might have been more badass had it had third party support, and developers known how to program games for it, but it had so much proccessors and cpu's I don't think other game companies could figure out how to make quality games for it!

  • que juego aparece en el minuto 1.32 ???

  • I remember playing the kiosk at toys r us when the saturn came out and it had panzer dragoon on it. I got a saturn for my birthday later on!

  • what where they thinking ?

  • sega uranus

  • As good and underrated as the Saturn is,... I am not suprised that it bombed over in america seeing as these US commercials are so numbingly full of bullshit.

  • This is the biggest EGO trip EVER!!!!!

  • Man, Sega... great hardware and talent, horribly mismanaged at every possible level. Their ads were always ridiculous. They felt cheesy even in the 90s.

  • What the fuck is this? Did someone slip me bad acid?

  • holy shit this thing goes for 8 minutes

  • Am I the only one, thinking that the crazy Sony PS commercial-producers thought the Sega Saturn commercials did make great sence and wanted to be theirs like them too?

    XD

  • I called the number at the end but it says it cannot be reached! When they said it's out there Did they mean I can't get one?! I want the nearest saturn dealer now!

  • wtf where they smoking

  • I will have nightmares tonight...

  • It's like my computer desk turned into a damn time machine...I can't believe how many videos there are about old video games. :P

  • Game marketing in the '80s and '90s: INSANE

  • Was Sega on drugs when they made this? They should've done something similar to what they did in Japan with that badass karate guy. THAT was cool.

  • Thats odd, I personally love being disappointed

  • Wow how stupid was that, looks like they thought that gamers are morons or something.Shame.

  • The sega saturn still ruled

  • over CD-i, 3DO, and Jaguar? Yes.

  • @ImPoliticalOK Yeah Saturn still ruled. It could have ruled longer should sega have had not launched the sucidal Dreamcast............

  • @lamtatyan It Was The Saturn That Caused Sega To Go Bank Rupt Not The DreamCast!

  • @DMANDUSTYN I beg to differ. Saturn actually did not bad in Asian, though it was considered as "CRAP" in America or in Europe. It made the final bet to compete with Sony, but see what they have launched: Dreamcast. What is it? A console with GD-ROM, not DVD which was hot at that era...... this bold move was already sucidial. Yes, you may consider that the Saturn made Sega down-fell sharply, but obviously Sega did not value their final chip and made the bet that made them became total loser!

  • LOL! I dare anyone to see if the number still works at 8:15

  • What's with the KKK members in the movie theater?

  • aaaaah the 90s... how I miss them..

  • kill tghe jew from this vid. kill them all jews motherfuckers >:)))

  • omg i called 1800 see saturn is something about women and 69 cents a minute

    whatever you do dont call 1800wildxxx

    but i like the saturn to bad i had a short life span

  • Comment removed

  • You know what I find funny?

    You can watch all of this and not want a Saturn. Watch 50 seconds of a Japan promo, and you want to go buy one.

  • ...What is this? It's a mind rape.

    Seriously, what was SOA thinking? They should have gone with Chuck Norris or Segata Sanshiro.

  • Simpler entertainment for a simpler time. I remember when they said realtime 3D acceleration wasn't possible. I think even a cell phone can do way more than 500,000 polygons per second now. Wow.

  • Ok that was disturbing but i just seen somewhere on a website saying this video worked and sales went up

    Im getting a saturn soon as i am a retro gamer

  • Truth in advertising:

    "by a sega Saturn and leave the rest of the world behind.....pointing at you and laughing".

    Werehavingabreakdown Werehavingabreakdown Werehavingabreakdown Werehavingabreakdown

    Saturn sucked, no to ways about it. It's dev process was about as effective as 6 drunken monkeys and a jigsaw puzzle

  • The SEGA Saturn was a great system. I have one and it's my favorite system ever.

    With that said, what the hell was SEGA thinking with this kind of ad? It not only drives away customers, it actually insults your intelligence and creeps you out. If anyone wonders why SEGA failed as a console maker, this is it.

  • Rofl this is amazingly bad.

  • Theatre of the Eye is the most fucking awful advertisement I have ever seen in my life.

    1. It's bad taste.

    2. It's slightly disturbing.

    3. It would have put me off buying the console.

  • Artsy commercial, but STILL DOESN'T TELL ME ABOUT THE SATURN OR ITS GAMES! This might be why Sega failed so damn hard. Over hype of their own products even when there is a limited number of games to chose from. You gotta play it slow the first two years then hype your product.

  • I keep expecting DEVO to show up in this video, heh heh heh. Ah, the artsy and alternative '90s.....Fun times....

  • i actually have a copy of black fire in my bookshelf

  • 7. Lynx (Atari

  • Funny tv ad

  • WTF 5.48 sega saturn made for the KKK.

  • Sega Satān, shiro!

  • lol the sega saturn sucked! I had one at one point, i think the best game i played was sonic jam and that was mainly for the bonus content

  • What a terrible system. Nice work, Sega.

  • Dramcast's better.

  • the guy that plays the brain cell was in prison break

  • The SEGA Saturn commercials were disturbing. It looks like they were becoming way too dark. And that was when N64 arrived. Get N or Get Out.

  • Lots of programmers jumped to their deaths to avoid having to code games for this steaming turd. Assembler anyone? Bet parents just loved hearing Tommy cry "mommy mommy I must have the latest turd from Sega". I have owned my PS3 longer than the SS LIVED.

  • @Zoomer30 Not to mention the PS2 is STILL in production.

    Fuck yeah; Sony.

  • This is the kind of movie you'd watch while tripping out. And that is soo funny that the first thing that is said when calling the Sega Saturn hotline is "Girls go wild when...". Comedy and Irony gold!

  • Is it me or do those graphics look worse than the ones on N64 and PSX?

  • @TheJestersDance Is it me or are you stupid enough not to consider the fact that those games they are showing are the first ones that came out with the console? It was just the same as in every console! Throughout time, games became better, and believe me, I have both sega saturn and playstation, and I prefer a thousand times sega saturn's graphics ;)

  • @DJtahna Nigga u gay.

  • @TheJestersDance And what's the sense about your answer? Seems your brain melted trying to process all that much information I provided you, and as any dork who doesn't understand shit about what they're discussing you come out with 2 idiotic and supposedly harming words, OH NOW I FEEL SO SAD :'(

  • @DJtahna Nigga u mad

  • The commerical started out cool, the just got dorky.

  • I thought those guys in the "theater of the eye" were members of the KKK.

  • @princessskitles

    Nitendo didn't have creepy dumb commercials? Wauw you really havn't bothered looking then. Also your claims seems to be trying to compare the old sega with the newest nintendo or some crap.

  • @princessskitles But Wii doesn't have as good graphics as the rest of them right now! At back then, Saturn was the more superior console. It had better graphics, better sound, better controllers (well... almost), used polygons instead of triangles, had nine prossesors and two CPU's! But I'll agree with you on the gaming side of things ha!

  • @princessskitles Its also for clever assholes and dumb things other than assholes whether they know of or like nintendo or not. You must have shares in Nintendo.

  • is it just me or does every game have the same engine? some sort of vehicle or something and right behind it. or a person.

  • It's delightfully absurd! And delightfully ridiculous! Please note the emphasis on 'delightfully' there.

  • Spooky bitch

  • @anoobguyproductions it was bug! it was a 2.5d type game but i think it was 3d

  • i remember getting this video in the mail. i also remember the starfox 64 and dkc videos

  • whats the game at 1:24

  • con razon no vendieron

  • This this promo would've been far more effective if the bodybuilder and the ballerina were the focus of the commercial as opposed to that saturn-lady and the talking head.

  • Here, they used 8 mins to promote the Saturn and I'm not impressed. Segata Sanshiro only used less than 1 minute and I'M BUYING IT!!!

  • @pokochu you mean the japanese version of sega saturn? i think the japanese console is better... it can play all the imports + the regular games we had over here (only theyre japanese copies)

  • @pokochu you mean the japanese version of sega saturn? i think the japanese console is better... it can play all the imports + the regular games we had over here (only theyre japanese copies)

  • Whats with there hats they look like the fkin KKK, shame on you sega.

  • @RTSgameVideos lol if you listen close or look close somebody calls them the cones or they have a name tag that says cones, in other words those white cone head guys stand for the cones in your eye that tell the brain what color something is

  • That chick is so freakin' creepy.

  • I didn't know that Kratos used to do ads for Sega.

  • Definitely an LSD trip.

  • wtf were they thinking.

  • Poor innocent Saturn should have a better commercial

  • ...

    D:

    The heck, Sega of America? They should have just gone with Segata Sanshiro.

  • Needs moar Segata Sanshiro!

  • This is so psychedelic that it's awesome.

    No, really. I can't stop watching this. What's wrong with me.

  • Damn...Sega commercials were fucking weird back then. I like how they brag about how many processors the system had. Too bad no one KNEW HOW TO PROGRAM THE SHIT EFFICIENTLY!

  • why did video game adverts always try this approach. It never really worked.

  • I swear to good segas commercials were always fucked up!

  • Fucking disturbing, to say the least.

  • Love this! I called the 1-800-see-satu (the other numbers don't computer) now the Girls Gone Wild hotline!! LOL! Way to go, Sega!

  • I think one of the biggest downfalls of the SEGA Saturn was that there really was no true Sonic Game.

    Sonic R was a racing game, Sonic Jam was a compilation of the SEGA Genesis Sonic Games, and Sonic 3D blast was the Genesis game on the Saturn

  • @Riddler95 You've actually got a good point there. If Sonic X-Treme was actually finished and released, maybe the console would have been given a second chance.

  • Damn, it sounded good at the time! I loved the Saturn, so many memories.

  • You gotta love that the cones in the theater of the eye look like Klan members...really Sega? No one noticed that before the commercials release?

  • this makes NO FUCKING SENSE.

    I'll just go buy one.

  • SEGA SATURN!!!! ITS OUT THERE.....

  • To Thisisnotporn, you really summed it up the best it could have been summed up. "Jarring confusing images" is just perfect.

  • ther promos were funny though ...

    but failed in the end

  • zordon

  • what the fuck were they thinking mailing this out to peope? retarted.

  • the failure of the sega saturn did not help the dreamcast one bit. sega after the saturn found themselves more in debt which in turn made sure that the dreamcast didnt have the resources to compete with its rivals , and also sony was making tons of profit and consumer trust that enabled the ps2 to be more sucsessful .even though the dreamcast had a head start over the ps2

  • What the fuck.

  • the dude in the beanie...is that bam margera?

  • Well atleast The Nintendo 64 and Playstation had better promo videos.But that doesen't mean it's a bad system.However I did remeber the promos for the N64 and PS1.

    The N64 promo showed Ken Lobb(former markter of Nintendo) giving a demostation of the system with Mario 64,Pilotwings 64 and StarWars:Shadows of the Empire.

    The PS1 promo showed previews of Crash 2,FF7,MGS,Sympony of the Night and some other games.However it's a shame how the Saturn ended up.

  • Sega saturn really had better graphics than ps1, but the ps1 had better games....

  • its ironic that bernie stolar said on icons that you need good software to sell consoles, and he was mostly responsible for the five star policy that let so many games not released on saturn. very ironic

  • @RyutarocKxxx Very true statement.

  • "play ur games in the 21sth century and leave everything behind"FAIL theres dreamcast lol stupid sega

  • @waddlerobloxxxx It's so funny when he said play your games into the 21st century because even if the Saturn survived longer than it did, it would have been obsolete by 2000 haha. And its games looking antiquated.

  • i called 1 800 see saturn

    it's a porn line now.

  • @thesockninja1252 how dare they take the decnsey of sega and tuned it into a pervert number

  • @thesockninja1252

    Sega Saturn is porn

  • Microsoft should totally have a half naked asian guy advertise their product, what could go wrong?

  • Yeah, and maybe Nintendo should simply advertise their products with a five second clip of dog feces. Not to say that nintendo is dog feces, but it would have the same effect as a half naked asian guy. Or a bald saturn woman.

  • Its amazing how quickly we have evolved in tech!!

  • @redhotfusion1

    I was discussing that same point with a friend the other day, when you try playing one of your old ps1 games which seemed incredible only 8 years ago, then look at the likes of xbox 360 games its just not comparable, the way games are played now couldnt have even been conceptualised (spelling?) only 10 years ago. Look at Doom and Half life, now compare them with Doom 4 and Half Life 2 Episodes, or Gears of War and Battlefield Bad Company 2.

  • @redhotfusion1 you mean how quickly they allowed the tech. to be released..

  • All these random games no sonic lol

  • thats like saying the playstation 2 didnt launch with new crash brandicoot so whats your point dickhead? Maybe sega wanted to take a break from making sonic games and try something different.

  • first of sega was behind nintendo and even the turbo grafix 16 until the released sonic the hedgehog, and sega had a sonic game planed but it was delayed, and look the Saturn was a horrible failure after the success of the Genesis.

  • Comment removed

  • every crash game after warped, sucks.

  • @jordanthewizard yes sir

  • "Its the sphincter - Sega Saturn, so awesome you'll shit with joy overload"

    What the fuck were they on?

  • What did I just watch? Weirdest commercial for a console I have ever seen but it kicks ass. Makes me want to buy another SEGA Saturn.

  • the ps2 and ps3 launch commercials are arguably weirder.

  • XD sega needs to teach the world how to fucking advertize they diserve an oscar for there commercials

    aah memories...

  • i bet this was conceived in japan

  • its like these ads try really hard to impress us by being really weird and cheesy. just get to the damn point!

  • that scared me. 0.o

  • These commercials remind me of the ps3 commercials where they overhype way too much over the hardware but they dont have the software to back it up. Sony is falling into the same position Sega was in the 90s where power is more important than the games, so what comes around goes around bud.

  • that was definitely weird!! O.o

  • They probably spent most of there advertising money to pay that lady to shave her head

  • Sega has some really weird ads!!!

  • im a sega fan boy when i saw the commercial with this crazy bald dude he scared me back then and i desided to buy a ps one one more reson that i bought ps1 back in 1995 was the price one hundred dollars cheaper than saturn and one game to keep me away from saturn for 14 years was a game of all games well in my mind the 1998 game METAL GEAR SOLID!

  • Comment removed

  • this is totaly scary

  • yo i'm i12 and to me i'll rather buy a n64 or a ps1 insteed of that crap and the teather of the eye was weird all the way

  • each part of it was lies!! i tell u lies!! each part is a embarrasement to sega themselves

  • At least they were going in a less mainstream direction. But damn, that's the ugliest ad I've seen in my life.

  • huh i never knew a 16 bit consol soes 32 bit graphics like panzer dragoon totally looks like super metroid and virtual fighter is exactly like mortal kombat 3

  • i thought they wanted peaple to buy it

  • 500,000 polys/second? Maybe in games with no textures! I just bought a Saturn but I have to say that SEGA were full of sh*t in this vid. It was not at all cutting edge 3d, they threw in off the shelf parts at the last minute to give it 3d because of sony's pioneering Playstation that came out at roughly the same time. It had the advantage of using CDs but programming for the machine was a bitch. Even in this vid, apart from Virtua Fighter, nothing impresses compared to even Ridge Racer in 1994!

  • Try Panzer Dragoon 1, 2, saga.

    Also the Saturn version of Tomb raider is considered the better looking port compared to PS1. PS1 projects the environments better but laura looks and moves alot smoother on the saturn.

  • Actually, Daytona USA is a lot better than Ridge Racer, in every single area. And Daytona is in this vid. But yes, this commercial is shit. lol

  • Also, 5/5 and faved!

  • Beautiful Console and Promo video. I loved the part where that woman was serving up a saturn meal ^_^ SEGA SATURN AND ALL SEGA CONSOLES 4EVER!

  • i bet little kids were afraid to go near a saturn because of these commercials

  • remind me ps3 babe comercial lol

  • She's the reason why I didn't buy a Saturn. Nice job Sega! hahaha...

  • I think I just realized why Sega when out of business in the console market... lol

  • They are back with Ring Edge.

  • Holy FUCK! That's creepy.
