No i won't try to be original since those are the games that i played and enjoyed the most, Die Hard Arcade, Cotton 2 and Batsugun are close to that top 3.

So its a better console than the N64 or whatever trash you like?

None of the CPS or Neo Geo ports add anything.

NTA but you are wrong.
Most of them have at least a training mode.
Some have single player modes like survival, some have extra characters.
Some, like Vampire Hunter, have customizable backgrounds and soundtrack, as well as japanese/english language selection.

But I've only played 4 saturn games in my life. The 4th one was Bulk Slash which was okay but way too short

Sonic 3D Blast

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

>>10889170
Basically yeah, though on that note I still find it to be better than the Neo Geo AES

actually hard narrowing down an already limited library. the metal slug port in particular is really impressive and mogs the shit out of the psx port.

No bcuz I'm so computer illiterate figuring out how to play the SNES DQ3 in English with an emulator was an accomplishment akin to a parapalegic climbing Mt. Everest. Everytime I ask questions I get "shut the fuck up tard l2code" but i got IRL things to do and learn about.

If there's a "how to download and install English Complete SF3 for absolute complete fucking morons with links and maybe pictures" guide I'll check it but until then I'll just go back to DQ3

This might be a somewhat unpopular opinion (maybe not, given your observation), but there are a lot of shmups on the Saturn that are better than Silvergun. That's not to say that it's a bad game by any means, just that it has some really tough competition. I'd probably put the Psikyo ports and Garegga above it. Maybe even the janky DDP port as well, because it's just such a good game. There's many others as well, those are just the standouts for me personally.

I still got a LOT of the Saturn library to really sink into, only just got a Model 2 and Fenrir combo recently.
Battle Garegga looks great, I actually got the PS4 Shottriggers physical, but I wonder if the Saturn original is still worth playing anyway.
Also I wish Wachenroder's translation was all done

>joyless and envious childhood - the thread

Not to mention, Sega consoles produced the most depraved autists, with Sonic as their signature and sick fetishes as their symbol.
To this day, they create threads every day, many decades after Saturn was released and promptly shit on, to convince people too young to remember that shitshow that their automatic autism injector is worth to be remembered as little more than a hilarious failure.
The conversation with one of Sega's top suits should tell you all you need to know about this financial and company image destruction.

That applies to many other shooters but Garegga is much less about memorizing patterns and more about having a good plan for your run.

I know but I wonder if it's humanly possible to survive this.
They way I see it is, if it is possible then it's reputation of being one of the best shooters is well deserved, if it's not then the rank system was a mistake and drags down an otherwise fantastic game.
