Japanese consoles had so much soul

>SNES
SNES with SA-1 chip as seen in Kirby Super Star and Super Mario RPG is essentially a 2nd independent CPU at triple the clock rate
Mode 7 rotation (Super Mario Kart, Secret of Mana, etc) and could do transparency in hardware versus forced to with dithering

>Saturn
Saturn has a dual-CPU architecture and eight processors
Cartridge slot to allow for instant load times and storage of sprites/backgrounds
CD-ROM to allow for CD quality sound and mass storage of sprites/backgrounds that could have been stream loaded over to the cartridge to avoid load times
built to do 2D games in the 3D era

>Dreamcast
Hitachi SH4 chips
480p with the DC's PowerVR GPU
Rarely-used volumetric per-pixel shadows and volumetric fog features
Order Independent Transparency and is the only system to date that came with OIT at the hardware level
Planned HDD and DVD Drive
VMU

>PS2
PS2 Emotion Engine
The PS2's strong suit was the amount of particle effects it could display simultaneously
60fps
