@johneymute It wasnt luck, it was quality! the playstation was an amazing console, if you like the saturn more, that is YOUR opinion, not everyone else's
I just bought one just got it in the mail. I think despite the 32X fiasco the Saturn was the system that did Sega in. At the time they thought the West wasnt ready for 3D. When they found out that the PS1 had 3D capabilities Sega decided to add more chips to the Saturn. Even then the Saturn wasnt a good 3D machine. This drove the price up to a high $400, and complicated the programming early on. Same time Sega decided to do a surprise launch which backfired big time...
"Lesser watered down port" pretty sure you've got that backwards. The Playstation version of SoTN came first, the Saturn version is basically a director's cut.
Such a travesty what happened to this console (and company in general). The dual processor was innovative, ambitious, and probably had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it was also way ahead of its time. You'd have to think that if Sega would've just kept things SIMPLE then they would've help onto the support of 3rd party developers and would've been able to compete with the PSX and N64. Nonetheless, it still had some kick ass games!
Everyone hates Berny Stoller however he was the one who pushed the company to make the Dreamcast. Berny Stroller made DC. A system that didnt suck. Saturn died due to no good games, no good marketing, and horrible designed hardware that no one knew how to use. It Sega of japans fault for not listening the former president when he presented 2 better hardware design. 1 of those designs became the n64 and the other the ps1. Sega of Japan passed on both of those to go with the saturn hardware.
It actually had many good games, but the main reason why it couldn't compete with the other consoles at this time was the 32x desaster, at least here in europe. No one wanted another overpriced sega console after the mega cd and especially the 32x fail.

i had a playstation but i remember that back in the day ps games(not hardaware)>saturn though saturn had games that I played,thnk god that my friend had a saturn!!The funny thing is that saturn is considered a retro one I cant say the same about the playstation,I think saturn has more than 5 titles that ypu can still play today while in playstation the only one comes in mind is ff7,of course 16 bit era>all
There were plenty of games like that for PS1. I mean, Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, Crash, Spyro, Castlevania are just some of the popular stuff. Then there's Tomba! and Einhander, etc. I think it's because the Saturn has become more obscure that people have a different perspective on it.
You wernt a badass unless you had an Jap converter with 8 MB of extra ram, DBZ Legends, Sega Rally, Burning Rangers, Daytona USA, Fighters Megamix, Sonic R, Virtua Cop 1 and 2, Nights, 2 3D Pads, 2 Racing Wheels and a imported gun that worked for Ps1 and Sega Saturn with blowback firing, all hooked up to a VGA Monitor.

Croc for the Sega Saturn was more like the PC version than the Playstation version with it's full animation and music. Unlike the playstation that had fewer levels and empty MIDI sound track.

Sonic wasn't a launch title for the Sega Genesis. Genesis came out in 89, Sonic in 91.
"There were no killer launch titles on the Saturn"??? You've got to be fucking kidding me. Daytona USA? PANZER DRAGOON? Virtua Fighter?
The Sega Saturn had dual CPUs, and dual graphics chips, which is the norm in consoles and PCs today. 1 processor for the sound was actually unheard of for the time, but afterwards, most added a sound chip after the Saturn.
@DrewGamerFX Agreed most gamers were happy with the Saturn just as much as they were with the PS2 as far as the old school gamers I know. Not to mention I think PS2 came out 5 years later? Also Drew I don't think they know the functions or what a processor even does. Thumbs up.
@Future42692 Don't know why you're saying anything about the PS2, as I didn't say anything about it, and they didn't either. And gamers don't have to know what a processor does. I do, but that doesn't make it law. It's not a bad thing that they don't know what a processor does.
@DrewGamerFX Me mentioning the PS2 was a matter of opinion nothing to do with you. They semi bash the system when they don't have the facts of what the saturn consist of. You obviously read this far out of context. Where did I mention anything about it being a law or any gamer having to know? If your going to do reviews for the public you should know. Maybe you should re read the comment or put some glasses on I was simply agreeing with you.
@Future42692 If you would use these neat little inventions called COMMAS, then maybe I could understand what the hell you were saying. You did say "I don't think they even know what a processor does" as if it was out of line to not know what a processor was. And no, you don't need to know what a processor does if you're going to do reviews. Console reviews mainly consist of: graphics quality, sound quality, game library, and console durability.
WHERE THE FUCK IS PANZER DRAGOON???WHHHHHHAAAATT TTTTTHEEEEEEEE FFFFFFUCCCCCCKKKKKK?????? THAT WAS THE BEST RELEASE GAME FOR THE SATUR! YOU STUPID SEGA HATING WHORE BITCH!
Great games on the Sega Saturn to me are: NiGHTS Into Dreams! Panzer Dragoon Saga Virtua Fighter 2 Burning Rangers Shining Force 3 Marvel Super Heroes X-Men: Children of the Atom X-Men vs. Street Fighter Street Fighter Alpha 2 Guardian Heroes Radiant Silverguns Grandia Phantasy Star Collection Ogre Battle Lunar 1 & 2 Night Warriors: Darkstalker's Revenge The House of the Dead Rayman Tomb Raider Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
All of the Capcom 2D fighters are better on the Saturn. The Saturn was a better 2D machine than the PlayStation, and it had a better controller for the Capcom fighters.
There was no "real PSX" when it started. That's simply what the first playstation was called back in the day by... well, almost everyone. Yeah, even the media and Sony employees. When someone types in PSX instead of PS1, you can usually take it as an old school affectation.
A friend of the family recently gave me a sega saturn and ps1 I already have a ps2 and a ps3 does anyone know how I could sell the sega saturn or a ps1 that I don,t need.
@johnied8509 Saturn will probably end up being worth more than the NES. Besides, you can play lots of great games on the Saturn. Just keep an eye out at thrift shops or on ebay for good deals. It's a fun console.
It already is worth more than the NES. Infact the NES is one of the easier retro consoles to support, it's best games will run you about $30 max while the Saturn's best games are usually $80 minimum.
you sure about that I called one store last week and they said the Sega Saturn is not worth much some place I called this lady said it was only worth 15 bucks where did you get your facts from.
Personal experience. The lady you spoke to clearly thinks the Saturn is merely just another failed Sega console that belongs in the same pile as the Sega CD and 32X.
ok im still up in the air if I wanna keep it or not cause it might be worth alot of money in the future who knows but I also have like 10 to 15 games that I have for it so you can send me a message with your number and we could keep in contact but we could start at 50 but just leave your number and we could keep in contact.
I prefer N64 and PS1.I didn't really like Sega consoles,cause I like consoles which have many games and I've heard Saturn and Dreamcast have only a few games and they can't be compared to Mario,Zelda (which is a bit overrated but still),Driver,Doom,MGS,Tomb Raider,Banjo Kazooie,Perfect Dark,Goldeneye 007,Gran Turismo,Tekken,Resident Evil,Crash,Spyro and many many others.
Dude, that's the biggest, single sentence I've seen in a while. Your problem is that you've "heard" Saturn and DC only have a few games. I don't see you saying you've actually "played" stuff. Which is normal (though annoying) I guess, as it seems most of the mainstream don't know jack shit about Sega and ignorantly go by hearsay. Anyway, there were plenty of awesome games for Saturn and Genesis. The DC had less games overall because it only had like a 2 year lifespan.
@dunnono00 Yes,and Dreamcast had 2 years lifespan cause IT OBVIOUSLY FAILED,JUST LIKE SATURN! Sega sucked,that's why it stopped making consoles.And even through I don't know much about Sega consoles,I don't really need to,as I said both Dreamcast and Saturn had a few games,and that's why they FAILED.Smart people like consoles with big selection of great games,not just 720 games (if you know anything about Sega,or you're just a fanboy).Oh,and I've played Panzer Dragon and Nights for the Saturn.
You've played two games. I guess that makes you an authority on the Saturn, huh? Listen, I'm going to tell you a secret, "smart people" tend to like consoles with games they like. Period. Not who has the biggest number, or who has the most financial success, or whatever is the most trendy to follow. You admit you don't know much about Sega consoles, yet you go around saying none of the games compared, or that they sucked. It's pretty clear to me that you're just anti-Sega.
@dunnono00 Some things you say are correct (sorry,my English suck),but some others aren't reasonable at all.How can someone like a console that has only like 5 games he likes more than a console with 20 games he likes? I just said I prefer N64 and PS1 or PS2 more than any other consoles,what's you're problem?I know I can't judge Sega consoles cause I haven't played many games,but all 3 games I've seen for DC and Saturn (including Crazy Taxi) were very good,not as good as the ones I said before
You didn't "just" say you prefer N64/PS1. You also said "Saturn/DC have few games and can't be compared to games on other systems". All I said was. you didn't know enough about Saturn and DC to make such a judgment. And I was right, because you just said you don't know much about them. Then you went off on a tirade about Sega failing, and 720 games, etc... which showed me you came here just to bash on Sega. When you make such arguments, sometimes you're going to be challenged on them.
@dunnono00 Ok then sorry.I didn't really say all these stuff about Sega,my friends did.I trust them because some of them owned a Saturn back then.Plus,I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't like Sega consoles,many people hate them.And yes,it's true that both consoles had a few good games cause they had only a few years lifespam as you said before,and I think that that says something.
I'm not sure if I like the Saturn more or the Dreamcast. I think my nostalgia is mostly for Saturn, but the Dreamcast is a better console (in the USA, imports, would be different)
I think the Sega CD and 32X helped do in the Saturn too. I didn't hesitate to switch to the Playstation after getting shafted by Sega twice. I know a lot of gamers felt the same way.
I concur, and it looks like you called it right, the Genesis/Mega Drive audience who did keep faith in the Saturn ended up getting shafted yet again by the lack of an all new Sonic game (among other Mega Drive best sellers) and it's premature death. Hence, they stuck their finger up at the Dreamcast.
If I lived in Japan, I would have gone for Saturn for sure. That had some great fighters like the Capcom Vs series, KOF, and other great 2D games. What a shame a 3D console had better 2D games than 3D.
The first time I realised that the Sega Saturn could be in trouble was when 'Tomb Raider 2' was released on every gaming platform at the time except the Sega Saturn. That was a major disappointment for me :(
@WebVMan I'll rephrase - Tomb Raider 2 was released on every gaming platform that Tomb Raider 1 was released on, except the Sega Saturn. And yes, the term gaming platform also includes the PC.
In all seriousness, I just recently beat Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka No Yasoukyoku (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) on my Sega Saturn. I wish it came out on the Saturn in North America.
Harder than the Ps1 games to program ?Is it because of the 2 processors or what?When I saw the hardware I was "wtf , Saturn has to rocks in graphics compared to Ps1 but it's actually opposite" , makes no sense...
@BulgarianPsychopath Actually it was because its CPU used quadrilaterals graphics instead of polygons like what the PS1 used, because it was supossed to be sharper, the only problem is that the game developers only had tools that could support polygonal graphics and very few people were able to work with the system because of this, now it could also be that the Saturn was not originally designed to do 3D graphics, but they changed it because of the PS1
Well I suppose that they tried to do some better version of 32x or something like a sequel but I'm wondering about 2 things.If they didn't plan to do 3d then why don't they keep the course of their primary idea and produce some great 2d and sidescrolling titles instead of crappy 3d games?Before putting a new console on the market you sign contracts with producers and stuff like that , they know what they need to do , how to do it , but things went wrong.It's like a mystery...
@BulgarianPsychopath hey man remember Graphics dont equal gameplay, and its not really a mystery, because of the PS1 as i said, they didnt want ot look bad in front of the competition
Well, a quadrilateral is a polygon. It's just that the other systems used triangles as their base. The main problem lay in the two central processors themselves. Writing code to utilize both CPU's was difficult, especially since there was a timing problem when accessing memory. The Saturn was always meant for 3D (Virtua Fighter is practically their first game), but it wasn't designed as a 3D powerhouse initially.
Mainly the two processors. If used properly, they could be very powerful (Saturn Shenmue), but not many developers were willing to put in that much time and effort. Even Yu Suzuki, (creator of Virtua Fighter, Shenmue, and many of Sega's top arcade games) admitted that he'd have preferred a single CPU layout. The PS1 was designed as a 3D powerhouse from the start, whereas Saturn was a 2D powerhouse, with more modest 3D (like Virtua Fighter 1 or Virtua Racing)
Well if it was designed to be more like a 2d console then why the hell they put 2 processors?And why's this misunderstanding with the developers , I suppose they(developers) knew what is Saturn going to be and knew about the 2 processors from the very beginning .So is it because they didn't knew exactly how much time it will take to program a game and it was already too late because the console was already out
Maybe they weren't expecting the PS1 to be THAT much more powerful in the 3D department. Since they were going to be in direct competition with Sony, Sega didn't want the Saturn to be perceived as the "weaker" console, and this might stem from the SNES vs Genesis days. As for developers, just knowing it would have two CPU's didn't make their job any easier. In the end, it's about how much time and money they can afford to invest, and many felt PS1 was the better bet.
sega saturn sucks, there are like no good games besides Arcade Ports, oh and yeah $400 for a console that had no good games at launch, gee PS1 $300 for a wide selection of good games at launch or Saturn $400 for a game system that had nowhere near as many games and no killer launch titles, tough decision
THE SEGA SATURN (JAP) IS A CLASS MACHINE, SO MANY SHOOT EM UPS, SO MANY BEAT EM UPS, A LOT OF VERY COLLECTABLE GAMES, LOADS OF NEO GEO PORTS, STRONG SUPPORT FROM CAPCOM, KONAMI, TREASURE, RAIZING, CAVE, THE LIST GO'S ON AND ON, CASE CLOSED.
Wasn't Bernie Stolar responsible for the increadibly sucessful launch of the Dreamcast? That should more than makes up for his mistakes with the saturn.
@Alevamltd yea but the dreamcast was discontinued earlier than expected cuz of lack of third party support.This was cuz the saturn was discontinued even though so many companies hav already invested in it. It was stolar's fault for ruining sega
@FilipinoGamer1234 Damn man, no offense but your mom was pretty stupid to sell it, since it has a lot more sentimental/nostalgic value than it's worth financially... What'd she get for it, like $15? =\
@VBH120 Acturally I Got A PS1 And Then Got A Saturn And Now The PS1 Is Gathering Dust In my Closet While The Staurn Is Next To My Dreamcast And Xbox 360 And Im Curintley Playing Sonic R On My Saturn
@AVGNROCKS1996 No not really to be honest, because I actually quite like the Saturn fanbase. Very well informed group and are really the only ones that truly put gameplay before graphics. Wii-tards only do the same thing just because Nintendo told them to.
@strykah92 I actually respect the saturn but no the fanbaseUnfortunately for me ive only met assholes that keep on saying OH IT HAD MORE PROCCESORS FTW and OH YOUR JUST A SONY FAGGOT SATURN WAS BETTER BECAUSE OF GAMES THAT WERENT EVEN REALEASED IN AMERICA , never met a competant one that wasnt an ass or an idiot, most butthurt fanbase in my opinion (at least what ive seen)
@nx47 Clockwork Knight =) By the way in the video the guy says the Saturn didn't have good launch titles. So what do you think about Virtua Fighter, Panzer Dragoon, Daytona USA, Worldwide Soccer, etc?
if the saturn had been sold better than the ps1 and if some of the games that was for the ps1 came out on the saturn would you think there would have been any differences and what big differences would that be?
@SheddyYT : The PS1 was more powerful in rendering 3D, but the Saturn had two 32-bit processors , making it faster. However , most Saturn games only used 1 processor because it was easier which explains slowdown on some Saturn games.
@modewr I knew all that, I was trying to give you a quick answer. Why did you ask if you already knew? Did you find out since you commented? LOL :) But yeah your right. The second processor on the Saturn was very much an after-thought - they pretty much just stuck it in there during development when they saw the Playstation's specs. So it was hard to program two processors and most developers just used one. Not to mention that the Saturn renders triangles instead of polygons!
@SheddyYT : I did some research after asking the question. And yes you are right again , the Saturn renders triangles instead of square/rectangular polygons which was kind of crazy! Nobody is used to that!
@ULtimateTailsFan213 Shit, no one told me there was going to be a flame war. Shoulda brought some popcorn and soda so I can watch with full enjoyment.

There was no "real PSX" when it started. That's simply what the first playstation was called back in the day by... well, almost everyone. Yeah, even the media and Sony employees. When someone types in PSX instead of PS1, you can usually take it as an old school affectation.

@MrGeo7k
Dude, that's the biggest, single sentence I've seen in a while. Your problem is that you've "heard" Saturn and DC only have a few games. I don't see you saying you've actually "played" stuff. Which is normal (though annoying) I guess, as it seems most of the mainstream don't know jack shit about Sega and ignorantly go by hearsay. Anyway, there were plenty of awesome games for Saturn and Genesis. The DC had less games overall because it only had like a 2 year lifespan.
dunnono00 11 months ago
@dunnono00 Yes,and Dreamcast had 2 years lifespan cause IT OBVIOUSLY FAILED,JUST LIKE SATURN! Sega sucked,that's why it stopped making consoles.And even through I don't know much about Sega consoles,I don't really need to,as I said both Dreamcast and Saturn had a few games,and that's why they FAILED.Smart people like consoles with big selection of great games,not just 720 games (if you know anything about Sega,or you're just a fanboy).Oh,and I've played Panzer Dragon and Nights for the Saturn.
MrGeo7k 11 months ago
@MrGeo7k
You've played two games. I guess that makes you an authority on the Saturn, huh? Listen, I'm going to tell you a secret, "smart people" tend to like consoles with games they like. Period. Not who has the biggest number, or who has the most financial success, or whatever is the most trendy to follow. You admit you don't know much about Sega consoles, yet you go around saying none of the games compared, or that they sucked. It's pretty clear to me that you're just anti-Sega.
dunnono00 11 months ago
@dunnono00 Some things you say are correct (sorry,my English suck),but some others aren't reasonable at all.How can someone like a console that has only like 5 games he likes more than a console with 20 games he likes? I just said I prefer N64 and PS1 or PS2 more than any other consoles,what's you're problem?I know I can't judge Sega consoles cause I haven't played many games,but all 3 games I've seen for DC and Saturn (including Crazy Taxi) were very good,not as good as the ones I said before
MrGeo7k 11 months ago
@MrGeo7k
You didn't "just" say you prefer N64/PS1. You also said "Saturn/DC have few games and can't be compared to games on other systems". All I said was. you didn't know enough about Saturn and DC to make such a judgment. And I was right, because you just said you don't know much about them. Then you went off on a tirade about Sega failing, and 720 games, etc... which showed me you came here just to bash on Sega. When you make such arguments, sometimes you're going to be challenged on them.
dunnono00 11 months ago
@dunnono00 Ok then sorry.I didn't really say all these stuff about Sega,my friends did.I trust them because some of them owned a Saturn back then.Plus,I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't like Sega consoles,many people hate them.And yes,it's true that both consoles had a few good games cause they had only a few years lifespam as you said before,and I think that that says something.

@DejectedPanda
I concur, and it looks like you called it right, the Genesis/Mega Drive audience who did keep faith in the Saturn ended up getting shafted yet again by the lack of an all new Sonic game (among other Mega Drive best sellers) and it's premature death. Hence, they stuck their finger up at the Dreamcast.

Harder than the Ps1 games to program ?Is it because of the 2 processors or what?When I saw the hardware I was "wtf , Saturn has to rocks in graphics compared to Ps1 but it's actually opposite" , makes no sense...
BulgarianPsychopath 1 year ago
@BulgarianPsychopath Actually it was because its CPU used quadrilaterals graphics instead of polygons like what the PS1 used, because it was supossed to be sharper, the only problem is that the game developers only had tools that could support polygonal graphics and very few people were able to work with the system because of this, now it could also be that the Saturn was not originally designed to do 3D graphics, but they changed it because of the PS1
AVGNROCKS1996 1 year ago
@AVGNROCKS1996
Well I suppose that they tried to do some better version of 32x or something like a sequel but I'm wondering about 2 things.If they didn't plan to do 3d then why don't they keep the course of their primary idea and produce some great 2d and sidescrolling titles instead of crappy 3d games?Before putting a new console on the market you sign contracts with producers and stuff like that , they know what they need to do , how to do it , but things went wrong.It's like a mystery...
BulgarianPsychopath 1 year ago
@BulgarianPsychopath hey man remember Graphics dont equal gameplay, and its not really a mystery, because of the PS1 as i said, they didnt want ot look bad in front of the competition
AVGNROCKS1996 1 year ago
@AVGNROCKS1996
Well, a quadrilateral is a polygon. It's just that the other systems used triangles as their base. The main problem lay in the two central processors themselves. Writing code to utilize both CPU's was difficult, especially since there was a timing problem when accessing memory. The Saturn was always meant for 3D (Virtua Fighter is practically their first game), but it wasn't designed as a 3D powerhouse initially.
dunnono00 1 year ago
@BulgarianPsychopath
Mainly the two processors. If used properly, they could be very powerful (Saturn Shenmue), but not many developers were willing to put in that much time and effort. Even Yu Suzuki, (creator of Virtua Fighter, Shenmue, and many of Sega's top arcade games) admitted that he'd have preferred a single CPU layout. The PS1 was designed as a 3D powerhouse from the start, whereas Saturn was a 2D powerhouse, with more modest 3D (like Virtua Fighter 1 or Virtua Racing)
dunnono00 1 year ago
@dunnono00
Well if it was designed to be more like a 2d console then why the hell they put 2 processors?And why's this misunderstanding with the developers , I suppose they(developers) knew what is Saturn going to be and knew about the 2 processors from the very beginning .So is it because they didn't knew exactly how much time it will take to program a game and it was already too late because the console was already out
BulgarianPsychopath 1 year ago
@BulgarianPsychopath
Maybe they weren't expecting the PS1 to be THAT much more powerful in the 3D department. Since they were going to be in direct competition with Sony, Sega didn't want the Saturn to be perceived as the "weaker" console, and this might stem from the SNES vs Genesis days. As for developers, just knowing it would have two CPU's didn't make their job any easier. In the end, it's about how much time and money they can afford to invest, and many felt PS1 was the better bet.
dunnono00 1 year ago
sega saturn sucks, there are like no good games besides Arcade Ports, oh and yeah $400 for a console that had no good games at launch, gee PS1 $300 for a wide selection of good games at launch or Saturn $400 for a game system that had nowhere near as many games and no killer launch titles, tough decision

modewr 1 year ago
@modewr No, the PS1 was more powerful.
SheddyYT 1 year ago
@SheddyYT : The PS1 was more powerful in rendering 3D, but the Saturn had two 32-bit processors , making it faster. However , most Saturn games only used 1 processor because it was easier which explains slowdown on some Saturn games.
modewr 1 year ago
@modewr I knew all that, I was trying to give you a quick answer. Why did you ask if you already knew? Did you find out since you commented? LOL :) But yeah your right. The second processor on the Saturn was very much an after-thought - they pretty much just stuck it in there during development when they saw the Playstation's specs. So it was hard to program two processors and most developers just used one. Not to mention that the Saturn renders triangles instead of polygons!
SheddyYT 1 year ago
@SheddyYT : I did some research after asking the question. And yes you are right again , the Saturn renders triangles instead of square/rectangular polygons which was kind of crazy! Nobody is used to that!
