Sega Saturn vs Turbo Grafx CD

[Jack_Burton_BYOAC]

As far as collecting... Hmmm... The TGCD is probably rarer, but the Saturn will probably bring in more money.

As far as actually playing them... they both go straight up for sale while I go play a decent system. They both suck. Cue the hatred, but I'm not trolling, I'm dead serious. Give me a system that had more than 10 good games that were released in the U.S. SNES, PS1, N64, NES, take your pick.

I think your personal taste in games might be clouding your judgement here. Even counting only US releases the Saturn has far more than 10 good games.

Without looking at a game list:

Panzer Dragoon Saga
Daytona USA
Virtua Fighter 2
Fighters Megamix
Street Fighter Alpha 1
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
NiGHTS: Into Dreams
Guardian Heroes

Because I owned them!

Both the Saturn and TG16 are good. Most of the best Saturn games are already on the PSX. It's got some good games on its own, but if you have most of the best PSX games then there's not much point in getting it unless you want to play those good games that aren't on the PSX.

The TG16 is also good, but the CD kind of sucks because unless you live in Japan there's very few good games on it. The better games are also pretty expensive.

I would say the "best" Saturn game is probably Grandia, and it is certainly inferior on the PS1. Being Japan only does not count negatively towards it.

Following closely to that are RAM cart fighting games. X-men vs Street Fighter on the system blew the ps1 version out of the water in every way, and MSH was also quite a bit better. Street Fighter Zero 3 was the definitive home version until the ps2 alpha collection.
