I own an N64, PS1 and Sega Saturn. The Sega Saturn has like 3 decent games and some good light gun games. That's it. I barely touch my Saturn.
The PS1 has a huge library of games ranging from good to amazing.
The N64 has about a dozen gems and its games are very unique.
The Saturn just kinda sucks. And I say that as someone who loves Sega and wants to love the Saturn.
N64 and Saturn both offer the definitive 5th gen experience together, best 3D and best 2D respectively.
>>11859394 (OP)You just haven't played enough games for it.
>>11859402Trvke.
>>11859394 (OP)Wow what a hot take. Are you time traveller from 1998 by any chance?
>>11859450There is exactly one non-Japanese made game there.
>>11859412And tell me, dear anon. Which of these games have you played in the last decade for more than an hour each?
>Guardian HeroesAwful. Some of the worst mechanics in a video game, ever.
>DragonForceBaby's first strategy game. Absolutely eclipsed by any Koei strategy game.
>Radiant Silvergunlmao
>Never played it>NightsOverrated trash.
>PD2Good. One of the few decent games in this list.
>Silhouette Miragelmao
>GrandiaJRPGslop. Good if you like them, bad if you don't (I don't).
>Bulk SlashPretty cool.
>Sega RallySoulless racingslop.
>Elevator Action ReturnsPretty good.
>Megaman X4Better on other consoles.
>Daytona USASoulful racingslop. The best on the Saturn.
>Virtua Cop 2Good.
>GungriffonMid.
>>11859476Steep Slope Sliders. Cave's finest game.
>>11859412>You just haven't played multiplats, inferior arcade ports and flying gay clownYou forgot untranslated jarpigs that would have saved Saturn and 10 same 3D fighters
>>11859502>multiplatsAny in the image were downgraded when ported to Playstation, as is tradition.
>>11859462>Soulless racingslop.Sega Rally absolutely had soul, and it was one of the best rally racers when it came out.
Of course by 1998, when the Saturn was dead and the PSX was in its prime, you could get tons of way better racers on the PSX. Sega Rally had what, five levels and two cars and that was it?
>>11859508Uh huh, MMX4 was downgraded with transparency instead of dithering
>>11859520Solid dash shadows > blendslop shadows
Heat wave effect in two levels > spot lights being transparent in one level
>>11859470These graphics are peak Saturn. The Saturn's at its best with lots of whites and greys and mountainous skyboxes.

>>11859687Virtua Cop 1 has some of my favorite visuals on the Saturn. There's something about those greys...
How many times are we gonna have this thread
>>11859394 (OP)Bet your bitch ass hasn't gotten some Willy action.
>>11859792Considering where we are? Where the rules put a hard limit on the number of different topics we can realistically discuss?
>>11859450This is true across every system, though.
>>11859829It's not very hard to have much more interesting discussions than catering to some 64 millennial who doesn't play games.
>>11859394 (OP)There is something there for the Saturn, it's just that Sega dropped the ball for it in America.
>>11859836Okay, brb while I make an NES vs Genesis console war thread
>>11859792the holy trinity of repeated /vr/ threads
>bros how can we save the saturn>n64 bad stop liking it>bros how did the ps1 won so hard
>>11859792Hard to have a positive general Saturn thread because of all its issues people love bringing up which inevitably leads to shitflinging, plus negative threads simply get more traction regardless of topic
And it's also hard to have (lasting) threads dedicated to a single Saturn game unless it's a new fan translation release. The Sakura Wars 2 thread was the best Saturn-related thread in a while

I don't believe OP actually has a Saturn, otherwise he'd be talking about how epic its magnum opus is
>>11859450Welcome to the history of video games, are you just realizing this now?
>>11859394 (OP)Even when I want to play obscure fun games I usually choose PS1 over Saturn. Invasion from beyond, destrega, spider, grudge warriors, popn tanks, azito 3, bishi bashi special. Even the Japanese exclusives are usually funner. At one point I thought Johnny bazookatone was a Saturn exclusive but it's not only on PS1 but DOS as well. I used to think blast chamber was a PS1 exclusive but it's also on Saturn, I tend to play the Saturn version more for no specific reason, despite me having it on PS1 as a kid. Kutto keto is also a multiplat I thought was Saturn only.
>>11859394 (OP)>Sega Saturn has Bug Too!
has Daytona USA
>PS1 does not have Bug Too!
does not have Daytona USA
Saturn wins again, the end
>>11863141Based and Spielbergpilled
>>11863141Try spider on PS1. It's like klonoa but not gay.
>>11859412X4 is better on ps1 but megaman 8 is best on the saturn just an fyi
love the rest of these save for that 1999 game, is that quake or powerslave or the duke 3d port?
never seen that cover before.
>>11859801i see that copy of shinrei jusatsushi taromaru
i still need to sell my sealed copy but it's a literal who game with an insane price tag no one wants to pay up for, which is fine I got it for ultra cheap so anything will net me profit
>>11863430Seireki 1999 is the Japanese version of Powerslave. It's identical to the US version except for the name, Japanese voice acting, and the fact that they give you 5 more bombs and cobra shots.
>>11863439huh neat had no idea
i knew there were some differences in jp but didn't know it had a different name
>>11863129saturn versions are usually better, but ps1 is easier to emulate

>>11863530>Leynos 2Does the Saturn version have an English hack, or is it only the modern rerelease? How about Valken 2 also, actually?
>>11859394 (OP)NiGHTS is the most sovlful game ever made. It took me a second playthrough to realize that but it is soooo good and made me feel. Not a system seller but God damn I will never forget the NiD experience and I thank Sega for that.

>>11859394 (OP)i say this as someone who loved his Sega CD and his Dreamcast.
it could be worse, you could've been stuck with a 3DO.
and it could have been worse than that, you could've been stuck with a Jaguar.
