I am fully aware of this list, problem is just, it's basiclly just all games the saturn has and some are on psx too.
Take any 2D game you can think of that was on both Saturn and PSX, and it's pretty much guaranteed the Saturn version is superior.
Also true for some 3D games too, such as Baroque and Powerslave.
>any 2D game
rayman too?
Rayman 1 is a uniquely clusterfricked game when it comes to all the different ports, but yes, the Saturn one has animations and graphical details that aren't in any other version
Until the game has alpha effects that is
Radiant Silvergun
Guardian Heroes
Silhouette Mirage
>Radiant Silvergun
thanks
>Guardian Heroes
already on the list
>Silhouette Mirage
has a undub psx version
thanks anon
>already on the list
You have Guardian Force on the list (also a good game).
>has a undub psx version
The Saturn version with the retranslation is the best way to play.
>Saturn version with the retranslation is the best
Ok, just checked it out. It's true, psx version is Working Designe frickery, how did i not notice it?
thanks
don't bother with Silhouette Mirage, it has a very annoying and tiresome mechanic, defeating every single enemy is a chore and the game is an hour long. The only way to actually enjoy it is to cheese the early game for ten minutes so you can grab a hidden weapon with which you can run & gun 90% of the game.
there are three daytonas. original, CCE and CE. The first plays like the arcade game but it has terrible visuals. CCE improves the visuals tremendously but plays like ass. CE is a tweak of CE so the gameplay sucks less, but it is japan only (it did came out in english as CCE Netlink Edition but that's a 10000$ title).
Either way they are all shit; three goddamn tracks in total and one of them is "take three left turns". Try Wipeout 2097 instead... oh wait, that one is better on the Playstation, never mind.
>filtered by Silhouette Mirage and Daytona USA
Ouch.
Crowd controlling and shaking down each individual enemy for extra money is a massive pain in the ass. Treasure genuinely do NOT care about their games being enjoyable or balanced in the slightest. A lot of their design decisions are just arbitrary experimentation so it doesn't feel justified to call it good or bad.
Haha well look at this. Be careful throwing shit about numbers of tracks, I don't want to dirty this thread by saying swear words like ridge racer.
Ridge Racer is a joke and nobody gives a shit about it. Play Gran Turismo if you want a good 5th gen racing game.
Plenty of people gave a shit about it at the time, having a faithful port at home was a big deal.
handful of games off the top of my head:
burning rangers
nights
dragon force 1 and 2
sonic jam
lunar sssc has been fanslated, if you have a video cd card get the mpeg-ban version
bulk slash
the panzer dragoon games
capcom generations (ports of arcade games)
guardian heroes
radiant silvergun
sega rally championship
virtua fighter remix and vf 2
the sega ages series
rayman
daytona usa (first version of it is kind of a shitshow but has an absolutely amazing soundtrack)
death tank
fighting vipers
last bronx
manx tt
legend of oasis
dark savior
wachenroeder
clockwork knight 2 (has CK1 available as a cheat code)
bug
mr bones
elevator action returns
lots more games to play, Saturn was GOAT.
the psx version is worse, I think SM has a fanslation too
mr bones
Stop right now and get some actual SEGA and Capcom games
Saturn without SEGA and Capcom is like N64 without Nintendo and Rare... Sure you can kind of enjoy it, but barely
Sega Rally Championship not enough Sega?
I counted exactly four out of fifteen SEGA games. With that many it should be all SEGA titles
No Virtua Fighter 2, no Virtua Cop, no Fighting Vipers, no Last Bronx, no Daytona, no Manx TT, no Sonic, no NiGHTS, no Legend of Oasis, no SEGA Ages, etc.
>Daytona
ah yes, daytona, thanks anon.
Remember there are two Daytona games on Saturn, og and Championship Circuit Edition. Also since I forgot to list them, Bug, Clockwork Knight, Burning Rangers, Astal. Not the most amazing platformers, but you can only find them on Saturn...
There's also SEGA Touring Car, not as popular as the other racers and can be difficult to control without analog, but it has a nice sense of speed
Do not go anywhere near touring car. Believe me
I should mention the same rule also applies to Dreamcast
Always start with the SEGA games... Always
The Saturn is a system best enjoyed through video game magazines when you were a child but never actually playing.
Terra Phantastica translation when?
Ok, didn't expect this thread to go so quike. I am now at 20 games worth to play.
Thank you very much anons, will check in later to see if there is more.
I like Mr bones and Willy wombat a lot
I recommend elevator action returns, psychic killer taromaru and cotton 2.
EWJ2
Not as good as on SNES but has some unique backgrounds and more effects than on the PS1
Panzer Dragoon Saga
>Digital Pinball
I assume you're referring to Necronomicon, but it's worth noting the same guys also made another title in this series, the almost as good (more content, but not quite of the same quality) Last Gladiators
Batman Forever The Arcade Game
Virtua cop 1 or 2 are worth a blast with the gun. Avoid the house of the dead though, frick sake
Solar Eclipse
Bug Too!
Clockwork Knight 1 & 2
Daytona USA
Powerslave
Astal
Darius Gaiden
Legend of oasis
Fighting Vipers
Virtual Hydlide
Bulk Slash
I'm sure I'll be flamed into oblivion but from my library the games that pop out to me are Gex, the Megaman X games, Dragon Force, Policenauts,
heart of the aliens
policenaughts
snatcher
BULK SLASH
PLAY IT!
>Is there anything else?
Yes. Many. Sadly you won't be able to play most due to skill issues.
Here are the games I've played to completion/play regularly and really enjoy since getting a Fenrir at the start of the year:
Panzer Dragoon 1/Zwei/Saga
Nights into Dreams
Baroque
Bulk Slash
Willy Wombat
Dark Savior
Layer Section
Sega Ages: Outrun
Cotton 2
Astra Superstars
Hyper Duel
Sega Rally Championship
Daytona USA Circuit Edition
Magical Drop 3
I'm also about 10 hours into Shining the Holy Ark and am loving it so far.
How does fenrir compare to something like satiator?
Does the Saturn have any exclusive Jarpigs? I've been compiling a list of hundreds of JRPGs but I dont have any Saturns
Yes, several have been listed already but the most notable is probably Panzer Dragoon Saga. I am also personally a fan of Magic Knight Rayearth
I always thought Panzer Dragoon was a shooter series.
The first two, Mini, and Orta are rail shooters, Saga is an RPG
The Legend of Heroes III has a ton of ports but the Saturn version is pretty much a completely different game with the same story compared to every other version.
Baroque translation. Probably one of the best games I've ever played.
Play Virtual On, I think you'll have a fun time!
Fighters megamix because you can play as a car in a fighting game
Super Tempo and Keio Flying Squadron 2 are my go-to Saturn games. I'd also probably recommend the Saturn version of Powerslave / Exhumed too while i'm at it (PS1 version has cut down levels and less content).
I tried super tempo but it was too japanese for me. I'm sure one day it will get a translation
