The library isn't huge, but then again, the overall domestic Saturn library isn't all that large. Even so, you can't just say that there aren't any good 3D games on the Saturn when there are. There just aren't as many as on the Playstation.
Don't forget Daytona USA. Despite the fact that I completely SUCK at racing games, Daytona is fun & great w/ the NiGHTS analog controller.

I think people forget that the "lack" of 3D Saturn games they seem to complain about is just the smaller overall library. The PS-1 had a HUGE library of games, but about 2/3 of it is crap. How many incredibly terrible 3D games came out for the original Playstation? LOADS. I'd venture to say the PS-1 has the highest ratio (other than the N64 or Jaguar) of crap to quality releases. But the sheer size of the PSX library lent itself to a lot of great titles, as opposed to the relatively small US Saturn library, which had some great titles, some mediocre stuff, and a lot of crap. It's a numbers game. The NES suffered from this to a lesser extent - toward the end of its life it started to see a lot of lame games made by publishers just trying to milk the popularity of the format.

I'm am a happy Saturn and Dreamcast owner. I think both systems were high quality, despite their issues. I have several great games for each, and have more domestic titles to acquire for each. The idea that the Saturn game out too soon is probably right, but never in a million years would I believe a cartridge-based "Neptune" would have been a winning proposition for either SoJ or SoA. As was eluded to before, the N64 proved that to be true.
