Just got a Japanese Saturn. Recommendations?

[Gunface]

As the title says, I just got a Japanese Sega Saturn. Any suggestions for awesome games?

[gameofyou]

I have now placed most of the Saturn videos from my CD onto YouTube. Due to the limitation of 10 minutes per video, I have split this into 6 volumes. If you do a YouTube search for "155 sega saturn", it should find all 6 videos.

Seeing the games in action may be more helpful for you to pick ones you like.

Some that I'd recommend

Burning Fight Asuka 120% - a fun all female cast fighter with decent attacks and supers. Not deep but can be fun

Most SNK ports - these are excellent, and you get ports of some of the lesser known ones like Galaxy Fight

Street Fighter Zero (alpha) 2 - this is fighting game heaven for Me, almost as good as Third Strike and SSF2T

Pocket Fighter - all sorts of fun

Puzzle Fighter


that's what I played a lot on My saturn when I had a working one. I gotta repair my region modded one soon.

I have now placed most of the Saturn videos from my CD onto YouTube. Due to the limitation of 10 minutes per video, I have split this into 6 volumes.

You should reupload to Google Video in one sexy, long video. That sucker was a godsend for when I wanted to uploading lengthy Panzer Dragoon Saga videos. Also, isn't there a way to bypass the 10min/100meg limit on YouTube now a days for content creators or some such?

Make sure to get the RAM expansion cart (some of the good games require it). Anyway, XMEN: Children Of The Atom is great fun!

[rpepper9]

I recommend Mario 64.......... no wait, wrong system!

[Gunface]

thanks! I'll be checking those out!

[SegaAges]

the capcom vs series games pwn hardcore.

x-men vs street fighter
marvel vs street fighter

definately worth checking out

[The 1 2 P]

Castlevania: Dracula X for the added content and any yellow or red label adult games you can get

[Nebagram]

I'm tempted to simply reply to this thread with the word 'enjoy'.

Seriously though, the RAM expansion is a must.

As mentioned earlier, the SNK conversions are on the whole pretty sweet. Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) 3 is pricey but stunning, as is SFZ2.

And yes, it's a cliche, but Radiant Silvergun is as good as everyone says it is.

[otaku]

D&D collection.

I may sound like an idiot here, but what do the yellow and red labels mean?

[gum_drops]

Here are a few off the top of my head:

Keio Yugekitai - action/shooter
Tenchi Kurau II - 2D beat'em up
Elevator Action returns - action
Cotton 2 / Cotton boomerang -cutsy shooters but fun
princess crown - beat'em/rpg
Lode Runner - fun with 2-players (also releaseed on the ps1 in the usa)
Chase HQ - A personal favorite of mine

There are of course all the 2D shooters like silvergun,batsugun, bulk slash, blash wind, dodonpachi, layer section, metal slug etc.

[Gunface]

Thanks everyone! Very helpful, I have my work cut out for me.

Here are a few sites you might find useful:

satakore.com - real good sortable saturn database

segagagadomain - lots of impressions/game info and lists if japanese is required for many of the games.

...and say goodbye to your leisure monies for the next year or so. It's what made me buy a Saturn in the first place.

I may sound like an idiot here, but what do the yellow and red labels mean?

Here's a yellow labeled one from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPER-REAL-MAH-J...ameZWD1VQQrdZ1
QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

And here's a red labeled one from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPER-REAL-MAH-J...2em118Q2el1247

The age restriction is whats labeled in the little yellow and red boxes. These two are mahjong games but they have many more adult games than mere mahjong ones, such as shooters and date sims.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Virtual On, Gundam Side Stories 1, 2 and 3, Gun Griffon and Twin Sticks! That is all.

[G-Boobie]

I'm going to second the Capcom D&D Collection. Two of the absolute best beat 'em ups ever made. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it.

In addition, try:

SHMUPS
Radiant Silvergun
Soukyugurentai
Thunder Force V
Batsugan
DonDonPachi
In the Hunt

BEAT 'EM UPS
Pulirula Arcade Gears
Princess Crown

FIGHTING GAMES
Virtua Fighter 2
Samurai Spirits 4
Fatal Fury 3

JRPG'S
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Shining Force 3 parts 2 and 3

... Too many games to list, actually. The Saturn is awesome.

I may sound like an idiot here, but what do the yellow and red labels mean?

Dem's teh pr0n(as 12P noted).

Welcome to DP, by the way.

[norkusa]

D&D collection.

Is there any English in this? I thought about trying it out on my modded Saturn but I just assumed the entire game was in Japanese.
