I got a Sega Saturn off my uncle thats sat in his attic in mint condition since the 1990's. I picked up a Satiator that turns the mpeg video slot into the equivalent of a R4 card or Everdrive. I could just throw everything on but thats an overwhelming lot of selection to start with.
I've already got some stuff like Nights, Radiant Silvergun, Shining Force 3, Shinobi X and so on good to go but what would you consider a must play Sega Saturn game?
-Also he only had the "3d" controller with the analogue stick and it doesn't feel that great, are the modern officially licensed repros of the original controller worth picking up at like 30 quid?
Policenauts, Sakura Wars fan translations
Also this game
Sonic 3D Blast/Flickies' Island. It's absolute ass but it looks great and the music is fun. Good one to have in the collection even if just for the meme.
Unironically, there aren't any.

I would buy one these if they didn't cost so damn much, I'm sticking to burned CDs.
I got a large refund on something so decided to splurge, didn't want to rip out the drive and solder some shitty 3d printed board on plus theres always a much higher resell value if i ever get bored of it to pass it on. Still damn steep though but seems to be solidly built and not a cheap workaround job.
You could've gotten a Saroo though.
Bad idea considering that the thing is buggy as hell and the creator is about to do a hardware redesign that will render the current versions obsolete

Take the 3d pad apart and clean it. Take the analog stick apart and put some kind of grease under the stick too. I thought that controller was shit, now it's totally different. So damn smooth

>someone ported the Working Designs script instead of retranslating it
Ew.
At least you get the better visuals from the Saturn version that way, the only other option was the PS1 version which was an official Working Designs release.
Also from my understanding it was a proof of concept that they would be able to do it to pave the way for a proper retranslation.
I've always wondered, some games have been localised on PS1 but not on Saturn despite that it would take next to no effort, probably. Why is that?
Saturn versions had full animation cutscenes that required an additional mpeg video card sold only in japan, when the games were ported to the ps1 whole cutscenes were replaced and in many cases the soundtrack and it was simply less work to localise for a much, much bigger potential audience with the PS1 adoption rate.
Console was dying in America at that time so some companies didn't want to take the risk and Bernie being Bernie.
My guess is they just considered it not worth it considering how poorly the Saturn sold outside Japan while the PS1 was breaking records. The number of people who would have had a Saturn, not have a PS1, and be in the potential market group for a game would have been very very small, likely too small to justify the costs of translating it.
I highly highly doubt it.
Very few games had MPEG versions, most of them were heavily Japanese-only style games that few in the US would care about like visual novels or supplementary media-only material for games, and the MPEG card was optional in all of them except one as all those MPEG games also had non-MPEG versions of their FMVs for those without the card.
The only game which required it was a special MPEG version of Lunar, which was not only available as a separate non-MPEG version on Saturn anyway but was also on the PS1 with FMV that was about on par if not better than the Saturn MPEG version.
Most of the Saturn MPEG games didn't even have a PS1 release either Japan or otherwise.
Publishers remove features from games all the time that support peripherals in Japan that aren't in the US ( PockerStation, PS2 HDD support, etc), a game having MPEG was hardly going to cause an issue with releasing it outside Japan. Saying that it was due to the MPEG card is nonsensical.
Virtual hylide, b***h!
Mahjong
Frick that cheating chink shit.
Virtual On is good but I'd only recommend it if you can find one of those big twin stick arcade sticks to play it with.
