I'll give the nod to GaijinPunch's site, JapanGaming (http://www.classicgaming.com/japangaming) as possibly the most comprehensive site available for what you're seeking.

JapanGaming is a good site, but it's aimed at the collector, not the player. Just a couple of in-depth reviews, but a lot of useful info to the collector.

www.sega-saturn.com has some great in-depth reviews.

Thanks for the plug. As much as I hate to admit it, Atari7800 is right. Most games have a good little writeup (IE -- if you like this, you'll like this game. This game sucks. Control is weak. Not worth the money, etc.") But if you're looking for anything more than on-the-surface, there are some good Saturn-only sites out there. Sega Xtreme is not a bad one.

It's hard to keep adding content AND write. I wrote a few in-depth reviews for some games I like. One day, I'll add more, but I've got weeks of back log on stuff to add, so writing is out.

On that note, I'm more than welcome to post reviews written by anyone else. :)

Gaijin Punch - I only own two imports, but I'm willing to write about both of them if you want. Prikura Daisakusen and Metal Slug, both Saturn. Reaply here or shoot me a PM if you're interested.

EDIT: Come to think of it, there are a few import games I DON'T own that I could review as well, if you know what I mean. :D A couple for PSX, and a few for SFC. Just give the word.

Hey man... I love your site! It's not big on reviews, but it has a lot of info about A LOT of imports, not just Saturn. Great pics, too. Loads of content!

www.sega-saturn.com is GREAT for reviews, but it hasn't been updated in ages. I guess with the saturn being a dead system, that makes sense...

Try http://www.jvgfanatic.com/, click database and then Saturn. Have a look... I have not been there much, but he's a regular in the Saturn thread on GameFaqs. Good content from what I remember.

WiseSalesman:

Yeah, that'd be great. Just go to the site, then bonus section->reviews. Try to keep the format sectioned-off like the ones I have. I'll be sticking that stuff in a database soon, and you have to keep some consistency when it comes to databases.

Screenshots would be nice, but not necessary.

Just PM me here if you have some questiones.
