be honest: is it really worth it to get a saturn, or is it just sega apologists talking it up?

>> No.4486663

I bought a Saturn many years ago. I think it’s a model 0 or something so a mod chip didn’t work for me. I still have no games for it. Anything cheap worth playing?

Not unless you get a Japanese Saturn or mod it to play Japanese region games.

It's worth getting one if you like Fighting games and Shmumps with arcade accuracy, and don't like emulating.

Also has the best version of Policenauts, the excellent Shining force 3 trilogy and Dragonforce 1 and 2, so you're set for very narrative focused games if arcade stuff isn't your scene.

unless you know japanese, you will miss out like 60% of the game library thanks to bernie stolar

Hi /v/. It's a pretty good console, and the controller alone is worth it with an adaptor for emulation.

Is the vcd card worth it? I thought some bloke was making an everdrive for that slot. Any progress?

>> No.4487251

>>4487090
The VCD card is not worth getting, no, if you really want to watch VCD movies plenty of older dvd players have the function and could be had for a song. As for the everport that project has been MIA for quite a while, wouldn't be surprised if the guy dropped the project.

>> No.4487261

>>4486659
Well that's a dumb question. Whether it's worth it hinges on whether or not you want to play Saturn games. We live in the far-off future year of almost 2018 and you can just look at a game list, check the games out and then decide. This thread is a waste.

>> No.4487263

Yes. It's a great system especially for multiplayer party games. I highly recommend Athlete Kings for the unbridled rage it produces.
