/vr/ - Retro Games

ive only played like 5 saturn games but i thought psychic killer taromaru was really cool

Learn Japanese, that's all there is to it

just like arcade games

>>11031087
I like arcade games but why in the modern day would I play a compromised version when its so easy to just play the real thing on mame or something

>>11031079
It's mainly just shmups. Radiant Silvergun is good and the hype is real so if you have to play one then play that. Non-shmup games I'd recommend:
>Cold Fear
>Keio Flying Squadron 2
>Powerslave
>Sega Rally Championship (not really the best version of the game but it's the only version with splitscreen)
>Linkle Liver Story (might bore you personally, but at least it has nice additive blending)
>Princess Crown
>Guardian Heroes
>Crows: The Battle Action
>Assault Suit Leynos II
>Digital Pinball Necronomicon

>>11031079
Did you try Dragon Force?

>>11031079
I feel the same way as you. I even bought a saturn and put in a fenrir ode, loaded up a micro sd with a ton of the most praised games. When I finally sat down to play them I was incredibly disappointed. I sold the saturn about a month later at a moderate profit. Imho don't bother with the saturn.

>>11031079
>Head for Saturn

No, thanks. Even if we ignore that Saturn is the god of human sacrifice, the planet itself is a shitty attempt at being Jupiter - Saturn, despite having a large volume, is much less heavy and dense than Jupiter. Like a typical homosexual, it has not just a single ring (like a normal, married man) but has many more rings, wearing them out of feminine vanity. Unsurprisingly, the moons it has (Titan) are more interesting and cool than this shitty, puffy, twice failed attempt at both being a star and a Jupiter-type planet. No wonder it was delegated far from the Sun, as it couldn't watch one of its children being so gay.

Fuck Saturn.

If you buy a Saturn, bald women will want to have sex with you. All of them, obsessed. You probably don't even know of any bald women right now, but once you own the Saturn, they just find you. They'll be crawling over each other to get to you.

The Saturn's aura is not for the uninitiated. Only those who have traversed the realms of the 90s, bearing witness to its majesty, can truly comprehend its essence. The hum of its hummingbird processor, the glow of its translucent blue case, the whispers of its cult classic games - all these are mere echoes to the unenlightened.
Do not be dismayed, dear non-initiates, for you cannot grasp the intricacies of this mystical console. Its secrets are hidden in the symbolism of Panzer Dragoon's crimson skies, the cryptic codes of NiGHTS into Dreams', and the twisted geometry of Albert Odyssey. It is a realm for those who have passed through the trials of 3D graphics and emerged scarred, yet wiser.
Rest assured, your ignorance is not a failing. The Saturn's mysteries are reserved for those who have earned their stripes in the trenches of Bit Generations and Virtua Fighter. You may not understand, but know that it is a privilege reserved for the initiated few.

This is exactly what happened to me except I spent even more money and went for the Satiator. Still have a fullset on my PC since emulation for it has pretty much been perfected on retroarch. I keep loading up random games and just don't end up enjoying anything. Meanwhile I can load up random shit on the insanely massive PS1 fullset and almost always find something interesting and have a good time.

Its not fair I want to love it but cant no matter how hard I try. I genuinely think the 3DO is a better system.

I'm convinced almost every Saturn thread is started by one guy, because we went from a dozen to zero.

>>11031202
The saturn copers are a different breed, hence this thread. I don't like the system and am trying to figure out why anyone likes it at all besides the usual bullshit.

>>11031079
You got it right, OP. The Saturn is "just okay". If you want a proper SEGA console just stick with the SEGA CD or Dreamcast.

>>11031091
Saturn versions are all definitive, the best way to play these games.

>>11031079
Trying to sell someone on the Saturn is like trying to sell someone on Ghost insurance. Only a complete retard would buy in.

saturn is good with a fairly good library, it's just dwarfed by n64 and ps1
if you want some good games that are console original, feel free to buy it, i love mine after all, but it's library is just limited to what the other two have to offer
that being said if radiant silvergun and guardian heroes were on ps1, i wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole

>>11032328
saturn has more and better games than the 64, which has basically none. Especially if your angle is "I can just emulate it" in which case you can just play the ports.

>>11031079
It has the better version of Sonic 3D Blast in it.

Sakura Taisen 1-2 and Shining Force III (Scenarios 1-2-3) are shockingly good RPGs. I thought they were overrated until I played them earlier this year.

>>11031079
Stop making new threads you spamming piece of shit.

All of these have more content than ps1 and arcade:

Cyberbots
Game Tengoku
Golden Axe Duel
Gunbird 1
Hyper duel
Radiant Silvergun
Baroque
Battle Garegga
Darius 2
Dead or alive 1
Earthworm Jim 2
Elevator action returns
FEDA Remake The Emblem of Justice
Grandia
Mega Man 8
Ogre Battle
Policenauts
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Vandal Hearts
X-Men Children of the Atom


These actually remain the best versions to this day, while the ps1 fans that are better also have modern ports that are better yet.

I really don't think OP wants to play Galaxy Girl Yuna or Keriotosse

You had to be alive in '95 to understand that Saturn hype was real and if you had one everybody was jealous. Most of us kept holding out for the N64 and the PS1 didn't start gaining ground until the holiday season of '96. It's impossible to recreate that "summer of '95 Saturn" feeling without a time machine.

>>11033142
The Saturn shmup portion of this list was robbed so hard that it makes me believe the entire thing is propaganda

>>11032880
Smash 64 alone sweeps the entire Saturn library.

>>11031091
Saturn ports are often arcade perfect with extra content exclusive to that version. X-Men VS Street Fighter is a must own for any Saturn owner. Vampire Saviour is also every based. Street fighter Alpha 3 is the best fighter on the system but very expensive. It was released when the Dreamcast was already out and yet the Saturn version is usually preferred to the Dreamcast or Arcade version.

>>11033170
Don't reduce it to a nostalgia box. I was born after its discontinuation and yet it's my favourite system that is 80% of what I play. It's literally just comes down to the Saturn being the peak of 2D Arcade Gaming. Nights into dreams and Sega Rally are also really comfy 90s experiences.

>>11032874
>these shitty ports have an extra minigame

>>11031079
It's the best 2D graphics ever looked and played. SNES is often claimed to be better and while I do admit it gives the Saturn a fair fight I only think it defeats Saturn in the category of platformers. I used to be a crazy SNES person but now I only really go back to it to play some Super Metroid or Megaman X1-3. When it comes to puzzle games, Fighters, Shmups and racing games the Saturn games are more fluid, have more content and more colourful/beautiful graphics.

>be alive in '95

yeah, that definitely helps. we briefly had a saturn when it had just came out until one of my younger siblings broke it. we played the hell out of it while we had it though, and i was blown away by it at the time since i had only ever played SNES before. everything about it was awesome back then, the way it looked, the startup screen/menu screen, graphics, music. Sega always had that different vibe from Nintendo/Sony.

we had Bug Too!, Darius Gaiden, Solar Eclipse, Clockwork Knight, Daytona USA, and Sega Rally. aside from that saturn we briefly owned, i never played or saw another saturn until i bought my own many years later. so i think a lot of people like it because it was a cool console they knew of at the time but not many got to try it.

i still enjoy those games today though when i play them, but i really like all consoles each for their own reasons.

These women are bald, have beards and feminine dicks, you forgot to add. They also love playing the same, shitty Saturn shmup so that they can claim 1CC on the Internet, where the only ones who care are other bald, bearded, penis-carrying women.

>>11032901
>Prikura Daisakusen
>Princess Kurara
Aren't these the same thing?

>>11032901
There's a lot of good games in that list but one I'd recommend against playing on Saturn is FEDA. The Saturn port added voice acting and extra visuals at the cost of frequent load times. As much as I like voice acting, the loading was pretty annoying. You're probably better off playing the Super Famicom original.

>>11031084
You don't need to know Japanese. On Saturn A is confirm and B is back. Most of the games worth playing are jazzed up Genesis games. There's nothing too complicated you need the story to enjoy the game.
