If you want to know why the Saturn flopped: the most popular Saturn games included Virtua Fighter 2, which no one really cared about outside Japan; a bunch of RPGs, which were too autistic for white kids (or so Sega of America believed); and a bunch of erotic visual novels, which probably would have sold well, except that back in those bible-thumping days, would have resulted in a ban on the importation of Japanese games.

how ironic, you're the one ignoring the fact that the SS came out a year earlier and the alleged sales numbers (that have no real provable basis) are separated by a measly 200k units. acting like the SS "won" a region when it came out a year earlier and sold so few units more that the difference is impossible to actually calculate is gay and retarded. the saturn was a piece of shit and lost hard dude. it'a time to get over itm

Anyway N64 and Saturn, the systems themselves, sold pretty even in Japan as another anon pointed out, but N64 won in the software sales department. No Saturn game sold as much as the best selling N64 games, maybe except for VF2.
That said, some of the best selling and most popular N64 games are very different from the best selling ones in the west, for example Japan loved Kirby 64 and Yoshi's Story.

It was also discontinued 2 years earlier than the N64 in Japan.
It's telling that even with an extra year and its library fully fledged, the N64 still couldn't catch up let alone overtake the retired Saturn. Embarrassing.

>> No.9274952

N64 doesn't have many games, but the games that it does have are considered by developers and fans to be some of the best and most-important games ever made. Is there anywhere out there that says Elf Panty Romance Mahjong 8 is there favorite game? Exactly. No one does. This is proof that quality beats quantity.

Virtua Fighter. No one (usually literally) bought any other Saturn games. VF1 and VF2 are the only Saturn games that sold a million and the closet games compared to them are barely even half the sales. VF was insanely popular over there for some reason.
Also both consoles sold like total dogshit to begin with, it's not like either was popular.
>>9274902
The Saturn was discontinued because no one was buying them even in Japan after VF2 came out and the production costs and bloated back inventory were a large factor in the continuous massive losses of Sega year to year. They obviously didn't shelve them while they still were moving units.

The N64s main draw, and what made it so popular in America was it's multiplayer games. Goldeneye, Mario Party, Conker, WWF and WCW wrestling, all the racing and sports games, stuff like that. If you're alone you could play one of the very few really good games like Zelda or something, but for the most part it's a console for playing multiplayers games. Japs love in closets and can barely fit a TV in their house to begin with, so they only want to play dragon quest or some puzzle game for an hour to unwind after their 14 work day. If they want to socialize they go to arcades. The N64 is the exact opposite of what the average Jap in the mid-late 90s wanted in a game console.

Was Nintendo specifically aiming for the American market at that point, then? It seems as though Japanese and Yuros simply didn't consider couch multiplayer as a selling point, while that was the prime driver here.

Getting into the Saturn does pose people a lot of questions, they see the library the console had in the US, the weird marketing but undoubtedly get into the Japanese side of things, it's the dominant end of discussion on the console. This naturally leads to the obvious that the Saturn from late 1994 to 1998 managed to outsell the N64 which was on the market from mid 1996 to 2001. OK so the N64 had a year extra on the market and it still sold less. The games sold well, it's all the typical N64 games that sold well even abroad but when you look hard enough at the sales of games initially and the audience reception something sticks out;
People largely weren't interested. It's weird because it clashes with western perceptions on the n64, which is often revered as the "true" start of 3D gaming, how it "taught" everyone how to do these things despite it basically being Nintendo's first shot at the field blah blah nothing new here you all know the story.

This dates back to earlier generations in Japan too, Nintendo consoles were jokingly maligned as being for our equivalent of normalfags, while other consoles were for true gamers or perverts and otaku. There's truth to it, Nintendo games are undeniably accessible and less niche. Talk to classic game fans from Japan today and they'll sing praises for Mega Drive and their monster collections of big hitters but fewer people in that scene care about games we revere here.

Sony of course cornered this market and Sega retained the true gamers console but also had more casual and otaku friendly titles. As mentioned before VF2 was a monumental release in Japan. This narrowed N64's potential market.

The big N64 games sold fine but they aren't revered there, whatever reason for their reverence whether it's legitimate or pretentious is for you to decide, but it's telling that largely people didn't really care Mario can side flip and return to stages for more stars unlike here.

Japs went apeshit for Virtua Fighter. The attach rate at launch was 1:1. I think I read somewhere that arcades were more popular in Japan, so a console with a lot of arcade ports was bound to be successful as a result.

It didn't help that the N64 had precisely fuckall in terms of games for the majority of its lifespan. Nintendo legitimately thought that going through periods where you would have months between releases was a good idea.

the problem with the saturn faggot argument of "it sold more in japan, so it's better" is that you're having your cake and trying to shove it up your gaping anus too. see, you cant have it both ways. if the saturn was some masterwork of underappreciated technological finesse, and that's why it only sold well amongst the uhh, highly civilized japs with vastly superior culture... then you have to confront the fact that it was also outsold 10-1 by the PS1. so either you admit the PS1 is a better console based on its sales and that the Saturn and N64 are both effectively dogshit, or you confront the fact that sales don't determine the worth of a console and that basing your opinions on what a bunch of beardless manlets buy is just kind of retarded.

So 200k more units but in HALF the time, it basically sold twice as fast as the N64.

the saturn did not beat the n64 because of how good it is
the n64 lost in japan because of how bad it was
the real question is, why did the n64 sell almost decently in america?

We really liked goldeneye and wave race...
Actually there are a bunch of sports games that helped too. I doubt japs gave a fuck about football games.
I didn't have an n64 but the games I remember from my neighbors house were
Goldeneye
Blitz
South Park (MP was good)
Wave Race
Mario 64
Gauntlet Legends.
Hexen, but they didn't really like it.
Doom 64.
Turok 1 and 2, I don't think they had any others.

I think RPG's and Visual Novels helped a lot, stuff like Sakura Taisen and Super Robot Wars, as well as the huge arcade selection which was still booming in Japan, karaoke and VCD support, and other software like those music videos that came on a disc. Pretty much Saturn covered the Super Famicom, PC Engine, and to some degree the Mega Drive market in Japan, while N64 had none of those kinds of games and catered more towards children. PS1 at least had a lot of the same stuff as well. Not my favorite SEGA console, but I probably prefer it over the N64 as an adult.

As others said the Saturn had visual novels and jrpgs, and Sega's arcade games including Virtua Fighter. N64 had nintendo games which is great and all but if you were a two console kind of person they'd rather have the Saturn and PS1

Please. Shitendo 64 doesn't even have any light gun games and has like 1 (one) shmup. The only genres on the thing are mediocre racing games and gay autistic collecthatons for manchildren. Oh and Zelda. You can run around in empty field. Best game ever.

>VF was insanely popular over there for some reason
Probably because it was the best fighter ever made at the time. Until VF4 came out and beat it, anyway.

VF is a joke and no one has ever given a shit about it. It was popular in Japan because japs are overwhelmingly graphic whores who love simple to play games and a fully 3D fighter with only 2 buttons was perfect for them.

tfw I looked into the code for the original Mahjong Famicom game and it turns out the computer always has a winning hand in store that it will play when it decides it's going to win. What tiles you play will never have any effect.

The Saturn had 10 million lifetime sales in Japan, that's double what the N64 had.
