T-18619G - WipeOut XL JPN Sega Saturn - Satakore.com

Gotta agree that this is a great conversion, given the game was made with the Playstation's strengths in mind. Sure, the resolution is slightly lower, and a lot of the special effects are missing, but who cares? Unlike the Saturn port of the original WipEout, this actually plays like the Playstation version, maintains a very respectable framerate, and has a larger draw distance than most first party games. Well done, Tantalus.

I can't believe so many people are saying how good a conversion this is. The saturn version of both wipeouts were jerky, slow and had considerably poorer graphics. Tantalus made terrible conversions for Saturn. It was capable of much better. I remember seeing this in Sega Land in an arcade running smoothly, so I wonder if it was designed for the S-TV arcade board first. It was a major let-down though, especially without prodigy. This could have been hires and amazing.

Yep, that's right, an excellent conversion. Looks a bit roughter than the PSX version but controls better thanks to the (perfect?) Saturn controller.

Dig those Cold Storage tunes as well :)

CS has free music on his regular website (all his Wipeout work along with many other games), and has a site on bandcamp(dot)com where you can buy digital downloads of albums he has made

Imho a very great port of the classic PSone Title.
