They have the right idea but the prices are kind of high and I'm not a huge fan of the splattered cartridges (although admittedly this takes a lot more effort than just using a stock generic cart. My local game shop has a few romhacks and repro carts as well. I will say I do like that these come with the box. Even better if they made manuals for them

Also this, I can't tell from the photos but the artist should be credited or commissioned in some way. Or just use AI

It's good enough if you just want it for your physical collection or as a gift for somebody. If you have the money though the Genesis Mini and Mini 2 are a little cooler, plus you can play 32X, CD, Game Gear, and SMS games on the Genesis Mini 1 with little effort

Sonic 3D Blast
NiGHTS Into Dreams
Sonic R

Honorable mentions go to Mega Man X4, Street Fighter Collection, and SEGA Ages... Die Hard Arcade and Virtual-On are alright too.

Basically yeah, though on that note I still find it to be better than the Neo Geo AES

Rayearth is a very fun game. Didn't make it very far but enjoyed what I played of it

Both Adventure games have a lot of good vocal tracks. Open Your Heart, Live and Learn, It Doesn't Matter etc. I mean Ice Cap Zone in Sonic 3 got so many remixes that there is literally a fanmade album dedicated to it. Also look at the entirety of Sonic CD (either soundtrack) or any of the songs represented in Generations

>>10884420
Yeah, I feel like Mario music didn't get really good until maybe Galaxy. There were a few solid tracks here and there like Bowser's Road and Jolly Roger Bay though

The problem with Saturn wasn't just no Sonic. There was no new Streets of Rage, no new Golden Axe (barring 'that' fighting game), no new OutRun, no new Vectorman, etc. Only Shining Force, Oasis, a lackluster Hang-On game (albeit somewhat mitigated by the existence of Manx TT), and a JP-only Columns crossover/spin-off.

Not only did it have no mascot (aside from maybe NiGHTS who got a single game on it), they did not even attempt to carry over the Genesis' momentum using existing IP's. It was almost exclusively arcade ports, and in many cases not even new/exclusive versions of those arcade games. And, if NiGHTS was intended to be Saturn's mascot, it should have been a slam dunk and better than Sonic in every way, not just a fun score attack minigame with an extra Christmas demo as a consolation prize.

Aladdin is the better game in general. Lion King isn't even in the ranks for me. Aladdin Genesis is also essentially an exclusive, whereas The Lion King is mostly identical to the SNES verison afaik

>>10488657
Disney obviously, but it's cool that SEGA marketed it themselves

>Knuckles
He's okay but I usually choose Sanic
>Proto Man
Can't even play as him
>Zero
He's fun but not sure I would say better. I usually default to X

Red guy is usually just "better than the sidekick".

>>10378845
Try Aladdin or Vectorman instead

I like Championship Circuit Edition but not as much as I like OutRun and Sonic R

>>10151636
It's a fun game. Nice graphical upgrade from the Genesis version and the OST is legimiately cozy https://youtu.be/uVVb8hOyQnQ

>>10151642
I actually really like NiGHTS' soundtrack too, and the story is kind of heartwarming if you make it to the end

Hey anon, try Mednafen or Beetle Saturn core in RetroArch if you are on PC. If you have an Android device you can try Yaba Sanshiro 2, if that does not work try downloading an older version. This is how I got them to play on my Fire TV 4K Max, isn't perfect but it gets the job done for Sonic, NiGHTS, SEGA Ages Vol 1 etc. Saturn is not a bad console

That is pretty much what happened, specifically in the 2010's. I still don't know why they do this. There's so many other SEGA games they can pull influence from like OutRun or After Burner (or I guess Super Monkey Ball if we are talking about current games) but instead they just try to be like Nintendo all the time.
