I know this might be a pretty unpopular take on a Sega Saturn board, but I was hoping to get some guidance from the biggest fans of the console.

I don't want to seem like I'm bashing the system.

I was just hoping for some advice on how to best approach it or its library since it hasn't clicked with me yet. My apologies if I'm offending anyone here.TL;DR: Sega Saturn hasn't been the show stopping system I was hoping it would be for me so far with Nights into Dreams and Panzer Dragoon Zwei.

What are some recommendations you have for games to help the library feel special or just more complete?


Over the years, I kept seeing the Sega Saturn get named as a must-own system.
I finally caved earlier this year and bought one along with Nights into Dreams and Panzer Dragoon II, and . . . yeah, I just haven't been feeling that Segata Sanshiro power.
As for the two games, Nights into Dreams reminds me of a less-intuitive Sonic. I'm okay with strange and quirky games--Mischief Makers on the N64 is a blast, and I find Umihara Kawase for Super Famicom unique and fun.


As for Panzer Dragoon II, it's actually pretty cool looking and decently fun, but I don't feel particularly connected to the story in the way that Star Fox 64 got me wrapped up into its character dynamics. I think my expectations were just too high on this one, and that's not its fault. It's still fun.Also, I think the other frame of mind challenge is that the Saturn is so hyped up in retro circles.


Maybe I was expecting that unique Dreamcast-like charm or that the exclusives would easily stand up next to Sony and Nintendo's best offerings?

Anyway, I was hoping to get some recommendations on games that helped you get into the system, hopefully a mix of affordable and more expensive titles. On a quick side note, I picked up a Japanese copy of Panzer Dragoon 1.


Anyway, I appreciate the advice!


P.S. I have no intention of selling or giving away the system.

I only really like the arcade ports, and these days I’d honestly rather just boot up mame on my steam deck than bother hooking up the Saturn. Ditto with most of my other consoles, they’re sitting in protected totes in my basement because the steam deck has every game I’ve ever given a shit about installed on it and can go from sleep mode to booting any game in like 30 seconds

All the best games were only released in Japan, or weren't released at all. Perhaps get that thing where you can load games off an SD vs buying them, then download the entire Saturn library (you can find that online easily) + every translated game on Retro Game Talk's repository.
