>I don't like it so it's irrelevant
People still play platformers, even today, and those are exclusive platformers. Mr. Bones even has meme status. It's plenty relevant; You can attempt to substantiate your opinion at least.
>The Saturn doesn't have multi-core processors, it has multiple CPUs
Ignoring how you're mistakenly talking about the VPUs and not multiple SH-2 CPUs; Having multiple dedicated graphical processing chips in a console was a predecessor to the multi-core integrated graphical processors found inside game systems now (graphics cards themselves are massively multi-core, Sega likely drew inspiration from that). Considering how there were multiple video cores present in the system, that's why I said "multi core processors are standard in game systems nowadays", I was referring to the multiple video cores. The Saturn was one of the first, if not the first, game console to have dedicated graphical hardware with multiple cores. You could make an argument for the Atari Jaguar, however the Jerry core would also handle audio processing which disqualifies it in my opinion. Either way, that all certainly qualifies as notable and I challenge you to dispute that.

I have a unique position in life where I didn't have to pay MSRP because I've been playing retro games since I was young, so I've always been getting retro on the cheap (especially Saturn). I have an N64 and a PS (one with screen, chipped), and I still prefer the Saturn library because I personally enjoy the selection of titles available compared to what is offered elsewhere. It's entirely a preferential issue, and no amount of reaction images will change that.

Can't play F-Zero X online. You can still play Daytona USA: CCE Netlink edition online today because it's P2P.
I believe I also mentioned Scud, the platformer that also lets you use a light gun? Pretty innovative...
