Woah... a console with LITERALLY no games.... No wonder it flopped.

>inb4 successful in japan
meh, the japanese mainly bought it for virtua fighter 2 and sakura wars

1998 was the last year of full releases for the saturn in japan. 99's only notable release was street fighter alpha 3

it has epic 30min shmups that some fag on the internet will force you to 1cc, ports of games you can emulate on mame or fightcade and some actually cool stuff like willy wombat and steamgear mash.

Why are they like this?

that's a really weird looking N64

>>712963298 (OP)
It has hella games if you speak japanese
It beat the n64 handily in japan

>>712963902
>It beat the n64 handily in japan

n64 had far more million sellers in japan and it also outlasted the saturn in japan. the n64 also had significantly more games released on it in 1999 (and 2000) than the saturn did in japan

>Someone shits on the Saturn
>Instantly cry about the N64
everytime with saturnfags.

>>712963298 (OP)
all its best games were left in japan

>>712963446
No the Japanese bought it because if they didn't Segata would come over to their houses and beat the shit out of them

>>712964994
>I wonder who could be behind this post

>>712964541
Dumb fuck

I dunno why you fags have to argue about this shit all the time
Just like what you like

>>712963298 (OP)
Very true post op, that subhuman sega of america ceo never had any of the games people loved in japan translated? Why? Did he not see the massive success of JRPG's like FF7? Why didn't he fucking translate them, he must have been a saboteur. It began as an amazing system for me because I loved arcade games but the pieces of shit at SoA ruined it.

>>712965252
It would have been a waste of money. The launch ruined everything, even if they translated all those games they would've sold poorly

>>712965476
Then they should have just closed down instantly, but no they proceeded to exist and even sold another console here which of course failed as well because why would anyone buy the next console when they didn't translate any games for the last one? They were either completely incompetent retards or willingly malicious to destroy the company.

>2025... I am forgotten

>>712965610
At least Brazil loves you

>>712965575
They couldn't shut down because Saturn was doing well in Japan. And to be fair, Dreamcast did well at first, but as soon as PS2 launched people dropped DC like a sack of shit
Sega's biggest problem is that Japan and the rest of the world were never on the same page, MD/Genesis did well internationally but flopped in Japan, Saturn did well in Japan but flopped internationally, there was a ton of infighting as a result
If MD/Genesis was as much of a success in Japan too things would have turned out very differently.

>>712965141
yes it was me, old man jenkins.
Saturn still flopped.

>>712966491
Still better than the N64 in every way.

>>712966428
>MD/Genesis did well internationally but flopped in Japan
Interesting, didn't know that

>>712963298 (OP)
It had games, even in the USA.
What it lacked was good sense design and respect for the player.

>>712963829
so true king

>>712967478
If you have your Saturn plugged in you don't have to worry about the battery.

>>712967075

...Still better than the N64 in every way.

Was it good?

Was it any good?

>>712963298 (OP)
My personal list has 45 games on it. And that doesn't include fighting games at all.
There'd easily be another dozen if i included them.

Love me saturn. I love 2d games, and the saturn was like a SNES on steroids, the mode 7 style effects were fucking incredible.

>>712964541
NTA but the Saturn's library is far more interesting.
That's what keeps me going. I don't care how many people bought OOT.
I like cool, obscure video games.

>>712965610
Best Sonic game ever made.
And best pre-super metroid Search Action game with Wonderboy 3 which actually set up a lot of tropes that SOTN/metroid then copied.

>>712963298 (OP)
At least it's not the 32x or CD.

>failed console, Sega

Still has more games than PS5

>>712965610
coolest looking console ever

>>712963298 (OP)
didn't SOA cripple it even though it was successful?

I'll be honest with you, american anons. You have to realize that n64 had shit games, your favorite goldeneye game is laughable and looks very bad. Mario 64 looks super bad (even though maybe it's not a bad game per se). You should face the truth. 64 is only remembered now because it was popular among poor american kids whose parents couldn't afford a PC. Normal kids played Half-Life 1, Duke Nukem 3D and Quake 2 while you had to endure garbage like perfect dark. Only americans love n64 now even though it was a bad console of its gen with inferior ports and laughably bad exclusives
I'm glad I played on PC and PS1

And its library was STILL higher quality than the PlayStation 1

>>712974907
As a fond owner of both, this is true.

>>712965252
>Why didn't he fucking translate them, he must have been a saboteur.
unless i'm getting my SoA CEOs mixed up, he was the boomer that thought american gamers didn't want to play weirdo japanese games

>>712976108
If you really weren't poor, you just owned both. N64 had great multilayer options.

The Saturn had games, I just can't name a killer app for the thing. It has no anchor game so nothing on it feels like a big deal.

>>712963446
Also it wasn't really a success. It only sold 200k more than the N64, both were flops.

>no game
make way for chad

>>712963298 (OP)
it's biggest problem was it was $499 in 1995. Its best games were fighting games and it's version of Tomb Raider looked worse. They also didnt do themselves any favors by diluting customer loyalty and good will wasting money and time on 32X and CD.
