Ok, here it is. The Ultimate battle of the ultimate shmup game systems. The PC Engine/Turbografx-16/Duo, etc, etc, vs. Sega Saturn (USA/Japan).
There is no question that the Sega Saturn is a abolutely amazing shooter system. It has some incredible shooters on it. Mostly in Japan.
But then, when you think about the PC Engine/TG-16/Duo, those systems have some absolutely ridiculous shooters. I mean, it ain't even funny how many shooters those systems have on Hu cards and CD's. Especially Super CD's.
You also have to give the NEC systems extra love considering the time when their technology hit, compared to the Sega Saturn. The Saturn hit in very late 1994, with the PC Engine first appearing in October of 1987 in Japan, a full 7 years earlier. Pretty amazing if you think about that.
Does it sound like I'm biased? Well actually I am. I love the Saturn to death, it has amazing shooters, but the whole PC Engine/TG-16 Era is just freaking ridiculous. I mean, it's no freaking joke.
