@gchijioke12 Yes, it was. It is because of the relations between Japan and Southkorea since the 1950 war. There was an embargo and so the japanese productions, to be able to be sold on the southkorean market, had to be renamed.
The Satrun used Hitachi chipsets (notably the 2 Hitachi SH2 chips which powered the Saturn's rendering), and as part of the deal to use them Sega gave Hitachi rights to manufacture thier own units under the Hitachi brand.
It's also worth checking out the VSaturn, made by JVC - who also worked with Sega to develop the failed "Wondermega". Probably the hottest looking console ever! :D
I heard there was also a Samsung Saturn in Korea

HiSaturn and VSaturn are the multimedia players that Sega gave them to Hitachi Co, Ltd. and JVC.

My fave startup of the Late 90's, apart from Dreamcast PAL version.

I guess this Saturn was a Hitachi-branded console, while the V-Saturn was a JVC-branded model.

Should I get that? Oh and will I need a power converter to run it on an Australian wall socket/power strip?
Also, can you get it mod-chipped?
