@19Vexthehedgehog91 there were a lot of good titles. if you are planning to buy this one then you should check the following games: NiGHTS was just epic as soon as you figure out the controls, Clockwork Knight (plus the sequel) was very good, Castlevania was hard to beat but very entertaining, if you like fighting games then SNK titles would do the job and Street Fighter Alpha 3 was very awesome too, Panzer Dragoon (plus the sequels) was epic and there were a few good japanese RPGs.
sega did a great job of diluting their sega genesis market didn't they? after all my friends owned a sega genesis they never went back to sega and went to playstation instead. nice job sega!
When the Saturn released they had already gained a bit of a reputation as a company that had released quite a few lame duck consoles and being great at 2D games was not a good selling point right at the time when 3D games were coming in! when compared to the PS1 it already looked a bit dated and the games very quickly dried up! I still own the last ever copy of the Sega Saturn magazine!
Just got one after MANY years for only $39.99 and its like brand new, I made a video about it on my channel thing, I love this thing, going to be getting games for it tomorrow!
The generation the Saturn belongs to is when I really first remembered TV commercials for game consoles, because I was like 6 or 7 at the time. But what I remember were the Playstation and N64 commercials. Never did I see a Saturn commercial. Why is that?
@MultiWazza13 How do they suck? If it wasn't for the Genesis the Industry wouldn't be like it is today. Thats your opinion I guess, but Sega revolutionized the Industry in many ways.
WHY IS IT when i look online i find theese things really cheap but if i see one at a store they cost from 50$ to 120$(highest price i saw was 125$) i also HATE buying online
you'll get ripped off soooo bad if you try and buy from a store
online you get used from amazon saturn for 40 maybe 50 where as in a store they will be like "its old and rare, comes with all the cables and is in great condition so that'll be $120"
In a perfect world, the Saturn would have been backwards compatible with the Genesis, 32x, and CD. Backwards compatibility really helped the PS2 and Wii capture early market share on their release, and I'm sure more Genesis owners would have picked up a Saturn if they knew their game library would have worked with their new system.
@falsehero2001 You're right. There was no reason for the Saturn not to be compatible. It had a cartridge slot, perfect for backwards compatibility.
I got my Saturn for £25, untested... but was very pleased to find that it worked. Just be aware that with consoles this old, they often used battery backup for memory. They won't work today, unless you're technically minded enough to know how to replace the battery.
I recommend the Official Backup Cart. Action Replay is much more expensive though.
@MarioSonic2010 No it doesn't, and that's what I'm lamenting. If SEGA had been smart, they would have made the Saturn thus, but they didn't. The Saturn can only play Saturn games. If you want to play Genesis, SEGA CD, and 32X, you need a Genesis with the SEGA CD and 32X add-ons. Or as we call that whole package around here, the SEGA Cluster F**k.
@MarioSonic2010 Oh, I see, you're not saying anything I said was bullshit, you're saying that the Saturn's lack of backwards compatibility is, itself, bullshit. And I agree.
@fehneex1 Go on ebay and type in 'sega saturn av cable' and there is loads of different choices. They are all 'buy it now' auctions, so there is no bidding at all.
My first console was the 2600 through the early 90s. Then my family got Saturn in '95 and that's all it took to get me hooked on games. Bug!, NiGHTS, Virtua Fighter, Virtual ON, Panzer Dragoon. Amazing console, especially for its time.
If only SEGA would've released more of the Japanese titles in the US. IF they had, I'm sure that SEGA would still have a console (assuming they didn't have to rush the Dreamcast to make up for declining Saturn sales).
The Saturn is good, but it's underrated and forgotten because the Playstation was released a year before Saturn, and was ultimately better. Not too long after that the N64 and then Sega tried to make a comeback with the Dreamcast. So Saturn kind of got left behind in the race... :(
@josephskater1994 Hmm... According to my sources PS1 was released in 1994 in America, and Saturn 1995. (Meh shrugs) I can't deny the fact that Saturn is an excellent, and very underrated and unappreciated system, but nonetheless PS1 had it beat. Then Dreamcast and 64 sealed the deal.
@FicticiousAnimation also those of us who bought much of the Sega upgrades for the Megadrive (Genesis for Yanks) which already became 32 bit, was backward compatible and had CDs though the MegaCD to see them so eagerly trashed and the lack of games ect. for those systems, we opted for the new brand due to trust failing in Sega - we made the right choice
@KaineOfficial To my understanding there were only like five games on the Mega CD anyway, that coupled with Sega CD for P which was around at the same time. Sega just released a LOT of the exact same stuff at the same time. I kind of miss Sega's innovative mind though. They took risks, and I don't see a lot of that in Sony and Nintendo.
@FicticiousAnimation well to my understanding you have no clue what you are talking about. sega cd had 220 games released for it and it may be the most underrated console I've ever owned and still own
@drunkensailor112 You have no idea what you are talking about. "Mega CD" was an "upgrade" of sorts which allowed Genesis to play 32 bit games through a CD but there were only a few. "Sega CD" has tons of good games, like "Dragon's Lair" and "Sonic CD" for example. The Saturn is Saturn and the games for it are called Saturn. Saturn is underrated, Mega CD is forgotten, and Sega CD is pretty much arcade for computer.
@drunkensailor112 -And on top of that, because this is the second time I am replying to your comment, Seag CD isn't a console. Sega CD is computer so you really have no idea what you're talking about.
@drunkensailor112 PS1 was released in America in 1994. In Japan maybe it was released earlier I don't know.

After all, I don't see any Japanese text in the comments.
@FicticiousAnimation the saturn was released in 1994 as well in japan more than a month earlier than the ps1 and in north american saturn was released in may 1995 and ps1 in september 1995. so in every region (also europe btw) the saturn was released before the ps1
@FicticiousAnimation I'm not determined to prove YOU wrong. I couldn't care less about who is saying this. it's just that things are being said that are incorrect and I like to say the truth
@FicticiousAnimation I can't believe I even bother going into this. the ps1 was released in north america SEPTEMBER 1995 not 1994. look it up before you come up with claims that are false. september 9 1995!!
@mistertitanic Hahaha yeah that guy was fun to debate with, When he finally laid down some facts I was just like "Man you got it you win man nice run" LOL XD!
@FicticiousAnimation It was underrated because the big consoled coming out yes, but everyone was just kinda sick of sega's shit, like the 32x coming out right before the saturn.
Ah, the Saturn... pretty much an arcade machine condensed into a console, good memories of Sega Rally, Daytona USA, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter 1 and 2, Virtua Cop, House of the Dead, Radiant Silvergun... good times...
@Leo17453 No the Saturn's not backwards compatible, the slot is basically just a memory card slot. You wouldn't want to use it for genesis games even if you could, the saturn's cartridge slot is notoriously failure-prone.
@CrossoverGameReviews exactly. That idiot doesent even know how many game reviewers there are. Only the people who copy the angry video game nerds work are the ones who should be destroyed
@davidrubiomartin As much as I like AVGN, he's just one of a ton of great video game reviewers. I don't understand why you'd single him out here. This video isn't trying to be anything like him.
@davidrubiomartin CGR and AVGN have nothing to do with each other. I can understand Irate Gamer and That Guy with the Glasses, but Classic Game Room is a show of it's own. It has no competitor.
i love your videos, at first i was like, another reviewer, cuz i was so into avgn but, now im starting to watch your vids in every chance i get because i found you very modest, and of course, so entretaining. thnx for giving us hours of fun and make us waste money on stuff we thought was shitty, cuz you make every thing you review look awesome and worth buying. im getting many of my ps3 games because of you!
thnx again., sorry for bad english, im italian ;)
Actually, it should be mentioned that most of the best sega saturn games are really expensive due to being rare. Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force 3 for starters. PDS is considered the best on the console and that's like, what, $80-$100 last time I checked.
i agree w/ you, i have almost over 400 Japanese sega saturn games including this one, n i have like 7 Saturn consoles,2 American consoles w/ the oval shape buttons and i have 5 new models of the white japan Saturn too and all expensive. I'm such a big fan of sega saturn and always will become one. i spend almost over $5,000 worth of Capcom and SNk games for my japanese sega saturn, my room looks like a library full of JAP saturn games. enough to even by a BMW.

the sega saturn was very hard to programm for but when deviding different instructions for each proccesor and then cairfully deviding the memory bus alternately for those 2 central proccesors it was possible to get used with it.
also 3d has to be mostly done in software in order to overcome those 3d limmitations.
finaly identical assambly code & type polygon from other systems had to be translated into code & type polygons for the saturn.
so porting a psx gamme to the saturn took more work.

"Fuck you SEGA-fanboy" wow, I'm surprised Nintendo supporters nowadays still remember SEGA and how they actually competed with Nintendo for the most part ...
I just bought my first Saturn with 14 complete games off craigslist for 100 bucks....pretty sweet deal...i think? I guess i'm not sure on all the game values. But i'm looking forward to diggin' in!
@DrunkenMasterWarrior That's not a bad deal actually. Had you bought it online you would have paid no less than $40.00 for just the console. And the games would all at least be $5.00 with shipping included. You got a decent deal. Enjoy the saturn!

@nuuhtoyouruhhu Yeah, It should be easy to repair, but you should be happy, after all you have your Saturn, where I live it 's very difficult to find one, because it wasn't popular.

One thing I always loved about the Saturn (and this was also true of its big brother, the Dreamcast)...it was heavy. Solid. You pick it up and it felt like it was unbreakable. Like if you were to accidentally drop it on your foot, your foot might break but the game console wouldn't.
I'm sorry, this review wasn't good at all in my opinion, you didn't say many useful or even interesting things and you didn't show any gameplay. That's sad!

@FicticiousAnimation the saturn was released in 1994 as well in japan more than a month earlier than the ps1 and in north american saturn was released in may 1995 and ps1 in september 1995. so in every region (also europe btw) the saturn was released before the ps1

@FicticiousAnimation It was underrated because the big consoled coming out yes, but everyone was just kinda sick of sega's shit, like the 32x coming out right before the saturn.
still like it though.

Ah, the Saturn... pretty much an arcade machine condensed into a console, good memories of Sega Rally, Daytona USA, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter 1 and 2, Virtua Cop, House of the Dead, Radiant Silvergun... good times...

Can you use the cartridge slot for genesis games?
Leo17453 1 month ago
@Leo17453 No the Saturn's not backwards compatible, the slot is basically just a memory card slot. You wouldn't want to use it for genesis games even if you could, the saturn's cartridge slot is notoriously failure-prone.

Actually, it should be mentioned that most of the best sega saturn games are really expensive due to being rare. Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force 3 for starters. PDS is considered the best on the console and that's like, what, $80-$100 last time I checked.

@zachandthemachines LOL try $250-300. Even the AVERAGE rare Saturn game typically goes for a little higher than $80-100.

Givarius 2 months ago 2
the sega saturn was very hard to programm for but when deviding different instructions for each proccesor and then cairfully deviding the memory bus alternately for those 2 central proccesors it was possible to get used with it.
also 3d has to be mostly done in software in order to overcome those 3d limmitations.
finaly identical assambly code & type polygon from other systems had to be translated into code & type polygons for the saturn.
so porting a psx gamme to the saturn took more work.

@DrunkenMasterWarrior That's not a bad deal actually. Had you bought it online you would have paid no less than $40.00 for just the console. And the games would all at least be $5.00 with shipping included. You got a decent deal. Enjoy the saturn!

One thing I always loved about the Saturn (and this was also true of its big brother, the Dreamcast)...it was heavy. Solid. You pick it up and it felt like it was unbreakable. Like if you were to accidentally drop it on your foot, your foot might break but the game console wouldn't.
