Winter Heat - Sega Saturn (1997)

[AutumnSodomy]

I played the hell out of this game. I was nasty at snowboarding and speed skating. lmao i used to purposely make them fall off.

[wwfdaoo]

aww the memories of playing this in the mornings :)

[superallye]

The animation looks surprisingly real compared to today's games!

[EX5396]

I got the record of the highest is 110M at ski jumping  few years ago.

[superparka85]

this game is just beautiful, more games like this is what the saturn needed.

[nick25clark]

this game is brilliant....might try and pick it up in the shops along with athlete kings and then dig out the old saturn for some button mashing.

[alvieao2]

Both Winter Heat and Decathlete ran on the Sega Titan Video, hence the reason to have the games ported to the Saturn.

SEGA SATURN FOREVER

Maybe the greatest console of all time, but the most Underestimated

For 2D game is the best ever,(Guardian Heroes, Silhouette Mirage,Elevator Action Returns, so many shoot'em up (Thunderforce V, Radiant Silvergun...), The King Of Fighters Series, Street Fighter, Metal Slug, Waku Waku 7, Cotton 2, etc...)

and also in 3D it have so many masterpiece like VF2, Nights, Panzer Dragoon Series, Grandia, Dracula X, SEGA Rally,fifa 09 ect...

Thank Bernie "Saturn is not our future" Stolar for not bringing all of these great games to the US and forcing those who want to play them to spend more via importing.

[tentacloidx]

... SEGA Saturn... sigh!

Your comment makes me nostalgic...

Nights, Burning Rangers, Guardian Heroes, Soukyu-Gurenta,i Shinning Force III, Vampire Savior, Panzer Zwei, Azel (wonderful Azel...)...

Almost all exclusive masterpieces!...

[godoftakedown]

@alexminerominero please leave out all the snk games...emberassing to see the 32-bit Saturn not being able to handle a perfect port of any 16-bit Neo Geo game...this was not what the Saturn was build for. Forget the watered down ports and concentrate on the great exclusives like Guardian Heroes and 3D stuff like Gungriffon and Fighting Vipers. Don't get me wrong, i do like and have a Saturn, and i play the exclusives on it, but for Neo games i always stick to the perfect original experience.

[hollerritter]

this is one of the saturn games i would say WOW at for graphics

[miiwii93]

i can also say it looks easier than decathlete. i just got decathlete today, and the pole vault is IMPOSSIBLE!

[WarcleanePro]

pole vault isnt that hard. serioulsly tho, me & my mates could never do it for ages at one point. try using one hand to run with & keep running while holding down the action button to place the pole, then let go when the bar fills. then all you to do is press the action butter again to leap over the over side of the bar.

[miiwii93]

hey...well that worked. you know, they really shouldve put that in the tutorial. anyway, do have an idea why jef jansens isnt in the american version, or is he hidden?

[WarcleanePro]

whos on it instead? I know on the japanese version you have to get over 8000 in arcade to unlock him.

[miiwii93]

no one. you start with 7 characters. do you have to do the same thing to play as him in the american version (websites just said get over 800 points in arcade mode)

[WarcleanePro]

thats bizzare how you only get 7 characters. coz in japan you get 8 but its just somebody else. It might be the same in the US version. you have to get over 8'000 then you have to do something else I think. Try looking on cheat websites

[miiwii93]

on game winners and ign, it said to get to get 8000 points in arcade mode to unlock "extra player." and some other sites said its only been TESTED in the japanese version. then you hold X over a mode option

[miiwii93]

i just made 8,290, held X over a mode option, and he wasnt there. dammit, ah well :(

[WarcleanePro]

is that all 8,290? lol. me and my mate have been on and off it for like 9 years though. westill obseesed with it haha. I guess it musnt work then pal, theres more cheats on winter heat.

[miiwii93]

dude, i had the game for 2 weeks. i didnt like it all that much, but getting better at it, the game turned on to me. just started playing again last night

[WarcleanePro]

cool. let me know how well your doing. really want to know how good people are even if your not to great yet.

[miiwii93]

all i can say so far is that my best char. is joe kudou :)

[WarcleanePro]

haha yeah I like joey kudou but i'm usally rick blade or karl vain. Recently i've been Alexei Rigel, hes shite at high jump & the hurdles but he good at everything else & awesome at throwing events especially javelin.

[billytheskink]

Great game for a great system.

[miiwii93]

but i like decathlete better for some reason

[miiwii93]

i have this on MAME!!! it works excellent, but the sound lags, so it gets annoying

[arnie365]

speed skiing 11,417s.UNTOUCHABLE!!!

[ChibiGAL]

I don't even like Sports games that much but Sega always seems to realse the best ones.

[GhostDog007]

I agree. Before Virtua Tennis I could care less for tennis but it became one of my favorite games. I can't wait to play Virtua Tennis 3. I own the first two for Dreamcast.

[WarcleanePro]

Yes mate! virua tennis is god! lol then again both the saturns athletics games are the best you'll find on any format.

[miiwii93]

The late 90's and 2000 were the supreme year of tennis games ;)

[drunkensailor112]

@WarcleanePro the dreamcast atrhlete game virtua athlete 2k is way better then these though. that's the best athlete game I've ever played
