/vr/ - Retro Games

never had one growing but i coveted the arcade perfect capcom arcade ports from afar. would have been well worth it in 95/96.

I waited a bit and got pic related for $250 in 1996.
VF2 and PDIIZ were kino, still are.

>>6596268
> to play a shitty game about a purple clown
By the time NiGHTS came out it was reduced to $199.99.
>shitty ports of Virtua Fighter and Daytona.
A better port of Virtua Fighter was sent out for free to people who bought a Saturn at $400 a few months later.

>Look mom, I posted it again!!

This is why emulation exists. Only a moron would buy a game console and games.

>>6596283
haha is this real?

>>6596289
of course it is

>>6596268
it was a good ass system tho

>>6596268
For me it’s Soviet Strike. The Doom fiasco is unforgivable tho, hope that gets uncovered and dumped some day.

>>6596268
How many times are you going to make this thread?

>>6596268
But I paid 400 yen for a chipped one to play the yuge library of great games playable by anyone who's no an EOP.

>>6596268
>Imagine that this system failed for an actual reason

>>6596360
>being a weebcuck
>playing jarpigs
Shameful.

>>6596268
Imagine hating Sega so much, that Sega ends up living in your head, rent free? Get off the internet Bernie.

>>6596268
I bought one for 60bucks a fews ago and modded it to play burnt games, if only I could read Japanese I would play alot more

>>6596268
I paid ~100 bucks for a boxed jap Saturn with two controllers, and action replay, some random /m/ games, and a piece of candy plus a modchip to play pirated games. What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>6596874
The Saturn cost $400 new back when it was launched, clueless newfag.

Sega and Nintendo will be always superior to Sony.
The final redpill.

>>6596268
I payed over 700 Deutsche Mark to import a Japanese Saturn in January of 1995

>>6596889
Based kraut

>>6596268
Imagine not knowing the joys of fucking up asshole dragons with your samurai army.

>>6596889
In january 1995 a japanese import Saturn was 1599 DM in germany. Its till this day the most expensive import console ever.

>>6596889
I thought Germans only cared about nintendo when it came to consoles.

>getting to enjoy those primo japanese games
Playing Grandia undub on my PVM. Everything is beautiful. 25 years after the fact the saturn definitely provides more value than it did at the time.

>>6596268
I'll take 3

>>6596879
No one in this thread except me was alive when the Saturn launched.

>>6597606
Nuh uh, I played a Saturn in Circuit City below the big Mario and Sanic displays.

>>6596268
I waited until the revised model came out and got it for half that price and to play Darius Gaiden and Guardian Heroes specifically.

>>6597606
Was playing Bug! In high school.

>feels old man

>>6597606
fuck off boomer
/vr/ belongs to /v/ now

>>6597606
I was 14 at the time.

>>6597538
No it wasn't. I paid 769 DM for the system without games, ordered at an import dealer from Würzburg. Admittedly I had to pay a hefty amount of customs duties on top.

>>6597606
I want to say I was in 8th grade and my mother was working as a waitress and she got me a new Saturn. It makes me sad every time I think about it because that must have been something like two week's pay.

>>6598071
If you want to feel a bit better about it anon see if you can find out the exact time frame. I used to think my parents dropped a ton of money on games for me but I realized when I started looking at dates I would have gotten things was when shit got REAL cheap. I was young enough to not know when new stuff was coming out so never knew.

>>6598106
Thank you, anon. In my case, I think it was around the fall of 1996... so maybe it was after the price drop to $250, or whatever it was.
It'll be interesting to relive that when I die.

>>6596268
I doubt anyone bought the launch $399 Saturn but game journos, the price was lowered to $299 in less than a year.

>>6596397
>being an ignorant fanboi
Shameful indeed

>>6597606
My girlfriends younger brother had one in 97. His dad gave it to him instead of any kind of monetary support or acting as a father at all. The gf and brother lived with me for a few months. We played Virtua Fighter 2 and Rayman. We actually played a ton more Landstalker on Genesis than anything on Saturn.

>>6596268
And then this one asshole ensures that the best games never leave Japan.

>>6598474
I had 1 friend who had one, somewhat after the point (the saturn was an abysmal failure in Australia, even compared to the states,) he had three dirty dwarves, Magic Carpet and Warcraft 2, I think his dad got it from a friend for dirt cheap.

I wasn't that impressed frankly, but my friend liked it quite a bit.

>>6598000
German import dealers asked 1599 DM at first. Around march/april dropping as low as 1299. Every new month it dropped another 100 or so, till finally the pal console was available. Dont believe me? Download a january 95 issue of videogames and check the prices. I got mine for 499 with 2 pads & Virtua Fighter. But that was months later.

I didn't want to do this but you keep making the same threads over and over. Stop trying to turn this board into a shitty remake of the movie Groundhog Day. Get some new material OP you fucking unoriginal hack.

Boooooooooooo get off the stage

Maybe if I make threads about my opinions every single day everyone will start to accept them as facts
-OP

No matter how true anything you're saying might be you told us this yesterday, and the day before, and the day before. Shut the fuck up already. Go play a game, fag.

Look ma I posted it again!

Every shit thread making a piss poor attempt to troll bumps off a quality one with actual discussion and recommendations on it. You are a cancerous plague upon this board and serve no purpose at all. Fuck off.

Hurrr console wars!!! I feel like I'm 12 again! This is the only way I can feel nostalgia because I'm a fucking moron.

>>6598000
>No it wasn't.
Come again?

>>6596268
Imagine paying $400 only for Sega do discontinue the console just 2 years later

>>6598476
>best games
Such as?

inb4 cringey weebshit like Grandia, Sakura Wars or Princess Crown

>>6598656
Also imagine you paid $200 on a 32X just a year earlier

>>6598642
>>6598583
769 DM

>>6597970
If that was true you could post 6th gen threads, but you can't and never will be able to

>>6598749

>>6598656
>two hats
Some how that's the saddest part.

>>6596268
You paid far more than that for your shitty orange clown.

>>6598779
769 DM (plus taxes)

>>6598615
Allow me to join you brother

So, in the end, it really is just a mad Sony fanboy, right?

>>6596268

DAYYYTOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>6596268
Paid 400 US dollars for this back in the day. Didn't have Nights but Virtua Fighter and Daytona were and are based as fuck.

>>6596268
Why are Nintendo fans so mad about the Saturn? Sure it's better than the N64, but most systems are.

>>6603058
>he doesn't like the N64
What's the matter... not enough tranny jarpigs and visual novels for you?

>>6603108
N64 aint got games. Even former N64 devs are dissatisfied with that shitheap.

why are we getting reverse flag raided by our own saturn shills? what the fuck is going on today.

>>6603108
Not him, but honestly there isn't many N64 games worth owning.

>>6596360
>Yuge
Suck my dick, MAGAfaggot

Aren't you Leftist Libtard SJW cucks suppose to be anti-homophobic?

Sounds great. :)

>>6603058
>>6603108

Both the N64 and the Sega Saturn have terrible libraries. I doubt any of you could name 6 games for each that are actually good. Compared to the SNES, they are both a terrible joke. That transition to 3D was hard on the industry.

>>6604613
I could name 6 good games on the Saturn...

Fighting Vipers
Fighters Megamix
Virtual On
Virtua Cop
Last Bronx
Panzer Dragoon

As for N64...

Super Mario 64
Goldeneye
Doom 64
Killer Instinct Gold
WWF No Mercy
WCW/nWo Revenge

>>6604635
damn man I appreciate your opinion, but I really think all of those games are bad.

>>6604636
what kind of games do you like, jarpigs? saturn has a bunch of those although most aren't in english.

>>6604654
The only good n64 game is Star Fox 64, and the only 2 good Saturn games are Dark Savior and Guardian Heroes

>>6604654
>a-anon, do you like jrpgs?

And of course the only correct reply is 'fuck off weeb'

>>6603538
He's not a leftist he's a liberal. That means he's probably homophobic, racist, and doesn't own a gun. Harmless really. Knowing the difference could save your life.

>>6604613

bulkslash
dragon force
magic knight rayearth
Keio Flying Squadron II

Classic Saturncuck.

>>6605502
Well weebshit is still better than braindead crap like doom and mortal kombat my delusional sonygger.

Nineteen-ninety-twoomer here. The Fifth Generation was literally the best one and the maximally comfy early low-poly, blurry-textured 3D easily #btfos shoyuboyu le pixelshit.

Seething boomer cattle don’t even bother @ing me about your grampagames.

>>6605526
Shit like this is why 5th gen needs to go back to being banned.

Imagine defending Shovelware and movie games, Sonybabs.

>>6605848
Imagine playing cringey autistic shit like Sanic and Phantasy Star and Monkey Ball.

My TerraOnion MODE is arriving in 5 days. What should I try first? I ordered one to give the /vr/ review if the shit is any good.

>>6607384
Also in April. The shit arrived this morning so I'm going to test it out when I get home.

found one at goodwill for 10 bucks 3weeks ago looool...

>>6607189
TerraOnion is a shitty company with shady business practices

I can't, my dad bought a Saturn for like $100 at TRU and that shit was free.

And they're still coping with the bad decision decades later.

I have a JP full set and I regret nothing. I was done in 2003, collecting now must really suck.

>>6609367
>this guy isn’t black
Huh.

>>6596889
I paid $500 USD to import mine before the American release. Zero regrets.

>>6598694
B-b-but anon, japanese culture and games are always superior, everyone on this ANIME IMAGEBOARD knows that baka

>>6609367
Such a cringe channel name.

>>6609715
Thank you. It generates enough ad revenue to pay all my bills.

Imagine spending entire days of your life spamming a peaceful board like /vr/ with pictures of jewish american businessmen just because you're angry you weren't alive back in the 90s to purchase a Sega Saturn before they became a collector's item.

>>6609837
Back in the 1990s I was foolish and naïve enough to believe that Saturn was our future... That was before Based Bernie set me on the straight and narrow.

>>6609841
Back in the 90s, your dad hadn't developed his first spermatozoid yet.

>>6609847

>>6609859
bad shoop

>>6609859
Trim your nails berniebum, you're disgusting

>>6598772
thus giving this board an expiration date

>>6609868
>>6609871

Best 2d fighting games, they played way better on the Saturn. Street fighter Alpha, X-men vs Street fighter, King of Fighters I coul go on.The only reason I got a psx was for FInal Fantasy 7.

>>6609881
Still a bad shoop

>>6609942
Still not our future.

>>6609183
Yeah yeah. We went over this during the initial announcement thread and I volunteered to be the /vr/ guinea pig.

>>6609371

>>6609931
Just go to an arcade you shut-in Saturncel, don't settle for inferior ports.

>>6609983
I thanked Konami for not normie/dumb modern gamer remake bullshit.

>>6598594
Man how many people bought a copy of Taz-Mania and Miss Pacman on the Genesis? Swear to gosh I see those in every lot.
