Lesser Known Sega Saturn Games

[Anonymous No.10406514]

Just got a Saturn specifically for House of The Dead.
what else should I get?

Can we get a thread going about more obscure or games that get less discussion. (Just try to avoid the usual suspects when people mention "hidden gems")

I'm so sick of every hidden gems discussion always mentioning the same fucking shit. Give me the shit that nobody actually talks about.

Can't tell you how many times I go looking for obscure games just to be hit with the same shit everywhere I go
Wii Hidden Gems
>Elebits
>Sin & Punishment
360 Hidden Gems
>Binary Domain
>Lollipop Chainsaw
Moral of the story is I hate that fat faggot MetalJesus and all the other unoriginal fucks.

Even in retrospect this console's arcade ports look pathetic, god damn.

There's already a Saturn thread for this.

saturn has remakes of Ys 1 and 2 that i never see discussed

don't really need english to play the ys games except maybe a basic guide, they're pretty simple and short

Is Bizhawk good at emulating Saturn yet?

Buy Manx TT or something I guess, not really obscure but it's cheap to pick up

Willy the wombat is the only 3d platformer I actually enjoyed without some big caveat on Saturn so I recommend that

D is pretty cool. Grab a walkthrough and peek at it every once in a while. It's basically a psychological spooky movie. Basically one or two sessions of fun

I recommend Mr Bones. Evil skeletons rise from the dead, and you're the only skellington who has free will, and you're not evil. Most of the levels feature distinctly different gameplay and difficult challenges. And it has all these entertaining fmv cutscenes between the levels. Like there's one where you find a cabin in the woods and there's a blind man inside, portrayed by a live action actor. He's rocking out on electric guitar and you just walk in, as a skeleton, and start jamming with him. It's fucking ridiculous, the game is really entertaining. It's just so soulful, and the levels are super rewarding to complete. I don't wanna be a fag though, it's not nintendo polished and a few levels are frustrating.

Jung Rhythm is either brutal in its timing or just broken. It's like a more unforgiving Parappa 1.

Heres this from another thread, op.

Konami Antiques MSX Collection Ultra Pack

it's a compilation of all 3 ps1 discs into one saturn game

not obscure but i don't see them talked about as often
- Touge King the Spirits 2
Car handling can take a bit to get used to (designed for drifting) but the 1 on 1 racing is fun. also has anamorphic widescreen support if you're using a widescreen tv (3rd option down iirc, look for ワイド).
- Virtua Racing
Don't go in expecting a virtua racing port, handling is very different and most of the tracks are new. has a fun career mode. lots of content for a saturn racing game.
- Steep Slope Sliders
Fun snowboarding game. boards handle pretty well. has a combo system but i usually just try and get the fastest times i can with the racer character.
- Puzzle Bobble 2X
Definitive version of puzzle bobble 2, western version is titled "Bust-A-Move Arcade Edition" iirc.
if you can read jp:
- Tengai Makyou The Apocalypse IV
see picrel
- Code R
racing game/dating sim
- Real Sound: Kaze no Regret
designed for blind people, also on dreamcast
- Machi
was popular in japan. visual novel with 8 separate semi-related protagonists. uses real actors and backgrounds. later released on playstation.
get yourself a pseudo saturn kai asap, especially if you don't speak jp

No
Use Mednafen with a front-end like MedGui Reborn or Mednaffe
or use the Beetle Saturn core in Retroarch

Like people haven't heard of Gungriffon, Tempo, Ys, Manx, Mr. Bones, or Virtua Racing either. Find someone else to bitch to.

How good is WingArms? I listened to someone that said it was pretty good and bought an incomplete copy for like $13. (And I haven't played it yet since I've spent the last hour reprinting the cover and figuring out the best way to do such a thing for Saturn games.)

>>10407007
I ordered a CIB copy of Manx TT. Thanks for the recommendation.

I glued the print to a piece of cardboard for thickness and rigidity. Do you guys ever reprint whole manuals?

I like Wing Arms but I don't think it's generally held in high regard despite being an exclusive. SEGA Touring Car is another one that's rarely mentioned but pretty fun imo.

I reprinted the cover and I bought a pack of 10 replacement Saturn cases.

Whole manual is not necessary imo, they're all in black and white and not usually that interesting (aside from the occasional color manuals by Working Designs or others)

I've seen it mentioned here a couple of time but it seems pretty divisive. From what I've heard you really have to play manual and the handling takes a bit to get used to. The thing where you train an AI seems pretty neat.

>>10411354
That would require too much ink to print anyway.
>>10411315
(Actually played the game now)
My take on WingArms is that it's alright. The first and second level were fun to play, but that 3rd level was so boring I quit and started over. You spend like 8 minutes flying around a maze-like canyon just trying to kill like 4 enemies and it's just excruciating. AND that's only half the mission.

I'll probably try again tomorrow, but damn that 3rd mission was tedious.
