>odes are cheap as chips but theres no games worth playing

admit it, theres no reason to own a saturn
>>
Literally the best controller ever
>>
Everyone who uses the argument of "ports of its games came out in later generations therefore the originals never counted and the fun you had was fake" is a zoomer moron who deserves a special kind of torture. Specially because such people are console warrior hypocrites with an agenda who never apply said criteria to games from a certain manufacturer. OoT is forever to remain a N64-exclusive gem despite getting constant re-releases and even native PC ports, but Saturn Panzer Dragoon was a mirage and never existed in 1995 because somehow Switch owners can play it 30 years after the fact.

>>11994416
maybe I should have instead said "buy", to clear up any confusion however I figured speaking in the present tense would have cleared up the confusion. You're allowed to have fun on it I'm simply claiming theyve been outclassed in every regard

Also idgaf about switch owners I clarified ps1 or 6th gen consoles. Panzer Dragoon was ported to the Xbox and PS2. Of course I appreciate playing on original hardware if possible but that alone isnt enough to warrant buying a system

>>11994416
Not retro

>>11994390
I like it for JP import SHMUPs. Every western top 10 list is garbage though. Guardian Heroes is absolute trash (I say this as a fan of beat em ups), Panzer Dragoon is overrated, Astal fucking sucks, etc. It really got fucked in the west. But as a SHMUP machine it's great.

Also Virtua Cop and House of the Dead are great if you have a CRT.

>>11994390
That's a problem I'm seeing when looking at recommendations for Sega systems in general. It seems like half of their best games are arcade ports, which probably was super cool back then to play these games at home, but now that I can just emulate arcade games it feels like half of what I'd want to emulate on a Sega system I'd rather fire up MAME for it instead.
>>
Saturn is both underated by normies and overated by hipster

It's a very good console but pale in comparaison to the PS1

The best games of the Saturn also released on PS1 (Rayman,Grandia,Tomb raider, Exhumed...)
>>
>>11994480
Maybe I'd appreciate the system more if I was into shmups, but I'm not the type of person to be able to play games for hours and hours unless I'm following a story.

>>11994482
I'll consider getting an universal lightgun sometime, they seem pretty fun :)

>>11994535
I would agree with you however the dreamcast library is insane in terms of action and jrpgs

This game is a meme. The ads were unironically better than the game kek

>but I'm not the type of person to be able to play games for hours and hours unless I'm following a story.
Yeah, the Saturn is a gameplay machine. There are hardly any good games with decent stories on it, but there are plenty of great games with great gameplay.
>>
>>11994556
>I would agree with you however the dreamcast library is insane in terms of action and jrpgs

J-RPG ?

The Dreamcast is extremely limited in that regard ,only 2 games are worth mentionning (Skies of Arcadia,Grandia 2)
>>
>>11994535
Sometimes home ports of arcade titles add cool features, or they make interesting compromises to work on weaker hardware. In rare cases, they can even be flat out better than the arcade originals. That's why I'm willing to try them, anyway.
>>
>>11994570
Theres plenty of great JP import RPGs. The two you named are very traditional JRPGs but if you use the term a little more loosely theres a lot waiting for you. It shares a lot of releases with the PS2 and Gamecube however.

Why is it that it's always Playstation fans that start anti Saturn threads?
>>
>>11994637
The Saturn has plenty of games. You're seething because you can't afford a single one.
>are you hearing yourself?
No. I'm not talking and there are no voices in my head talking to me. Are you seething because the voices in your head are telling you to?

If you owned the superior white or grey sega saturn then you had a real sega saturn. Not the shit that the black one was with 40% of its library missing.
>>
>>11995221
I've been playing JP Saturn games on my US Saturn since the 90s

No reason to own a ps1 when ps2 exists
>>
>>11994390
For the longest time, I didn't even know now the Saturn even existed. I thought Sega went from Genesis to Dreamcast. I bought one a few years ago when I got into retro collecting, and I really have no idea to games to even play on it. I only use it to see the difference between PS1 ports. I do wish the cart slot could play Genesis games tho.

I'm still happy to have mine, since the system provided so much fun and great memories in its day. While I couldn't afford the new systems, it is nice others can still enjoy the great games, I am perfectly fine enjoying playing games on the Saturn. Besides, since I couldn't afford the internet to stream the games, it is more practical and cost effective for me to play on local hardware.

Got a Skelton Saturn with the controller new in back back when Saturn stuff was super cheap. The Saturn itself is still in my parents basement, I really gotta bring it home one day.

The Saturn I use now has a Fenrir ODE and I use a Bluetooth adapter with a M30 controller. Really love this setup. Right now my Fenrir is booting Pseudo Saturn Kai but I kinda want to go back to the regular menu. Also got to get around to FRAM modding my Saturn to keep my saves safe. I got the chip already I just gotta get around to doing it, might as well recap my Saturn as well.

Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru just got an English patch, gotta give that a try soon as well.

ngl bruv, shit do be looking kinda gay but only because you have them assorted by manufacturers instead of stacking them on top of each other by size. Essentially making a gaming pyramid, top loaders can safely be placed in the trash where they belong.

stacking consoles looks claustrophobic as hell, i think they look just fine as is. although im not sure why theyd have their consoles seperate from the crt
>>
>>11994582
>In rare cases, they can even be flat out better than the arcade originals
That only happens when the arcade version is a prototype and the devs had the idea to release it for a console in the first place, like tekken or soul calibur.
>>
>>11996306
There seem to be some consoles in your dust collection, anon.
>>
sega cd is more worthless than a saturn
>>
>>11996982
no shit, ones an addon made collectors piece and the others a whole new console, plus genesis ODEs play CD games

What about NES Contra?

>the best games

NiGHTS
Sega Rally
Virtual On
Virtua Fighter 2
Virtua Cop
Virtua Cop 2
Panzer Dragoon 2
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Fighting Vipers
Fighters Megamix
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Darkstalkers
Quake
Duke Nukem 3D
Exhumed / Powerslave
Dark Saviour
Dragon Force
Guardian Heroes
Sonic Jam
10 player bomberman
Burning Rangers
Radiant Silvergun

Most of which were never ported, the Capcom fighters and Lobotomy titles were indisputably better on Saturn than PS1

and that's not even going into the jap shit like sakura, bulk slash etc

>>
>>11997149

I was replying to >>11994541

and >>11994416 has a very valid point

and every PS2 game can be emulated on a medium android phone for free, on that basis no console from Wii down is worth owning.
>>
>>11996971
I really do gotta dust more often, I never had fist problems like I've had in this house.
>>
>>11997149
Why are Sony fans like this?
>>
>>11997149
Consider playing them on a PS2 so you can fall in love with Sega Saturn games.
>>
>>11996306
damn, look at how much dust they are all collecting.
>>
>>11997149
Nights on ps2 is sadly an outsourced port to China and the controls are totally different/worse. A shame, I own the boxed edition with the book and all.
Panzer Dragoon Sega Ages is a better one, made by the original team. But PD Zwei remains Saturn exclusive to this day, same as Saga.
Just deal with the fact Saturn is very much worth owning.
>>
>>11997223
i couldn't give less of a shit if it was on ps, xbox dreamcast or xbox im just stating objective facts here

>>11997216
not retro
>>
>>11997227
Alright I get it, I'll dust when I get off work.
>>
>>11997124
>the Capcom fighters and Lobotomy titles were indisputably better on Saturn than PS1

Well lobotomy developper don't think that way https://www.unseen64.net/2015/03/09/interview-brian-mcneely-lobotomy-software/

"Although the final PlayStation layouts were slightly more confined overall, they were also more refined and had better balance in my opinion. The process of revising the levels presented the chance to add more polish to the flow and pacing of the game."

+Putting Sonic jam on your list is pathetic

I don't need to put FF6 and chrono trigger on the PS1 list of noteworthy games
