I love my Sega Saturn. As a father of 2 toddlers it's hard to find time and energy for long gaming sessions. The arcade-style games on the console are so easy to pick up and play in short bursts

this video convinced me into buying one.

The Saturn was def underrated. So many good hidden gems on it.

I wish I lived in your neighborhood just so I could see you running or skipping down the street at random times. You're the best Retro Bird 👍

Out of the 31 Saturn games in my collection a third are fighting games. With 2 arcade sticks and a friend, the Saturn provides some good vibes.

Man the Saturn is the original Gamecube, super underated library full of console exclusive gems.

I bought a Saturn in 1999 for $35 with 40 games with netlink. Then bought Street Fighter Zero 3, Metal Slug, ect. I can not believe current prices.
I have not bought a Saturn game in 25 years. I bought like a mad man when it was cheap. I really enjoyed it, have a lot if games, still have it safely stored. The system has a lot if character. But at these prices I recommend emulation to try it out.

My SS collection doesn't have a single EU/USA game in it.  Both the consoles I have are Japanese as well.  I went PS1 in 1994 with a launch PS1 from Japan but by October 95 I went to the ECTS show in London and saw Sega Rally, Virtua Cop and  Virtua Fighter 2 running at Sega HQ.  As soon as I got home I was ringing stores for a Sega Saturn.   I learned to love it, amazing times to be a gamer.

The Saturn is literally one of the all time best consoles imo

Ah now its that Friday feeling!!

Being subscribed to RetroBird is worth it ;)

I used to play my uncle's Saturn (really only Virtua Fighter 2) when I stayed at my grandma's house as a kid, and after she passed and they sold the house 15 years ago, he gave it to me! And while collecting for it hasn't been easy, I've been able to discover great exclusive games like Last Bronx, Mr. Bones, and Galaxy Fight! It's a system that's both nostalgic and still holds up today.

The only nostalgia I had of the Saturn was playing 2 games at my neighbor's house. Now I've played several games and I love it!
By the way, I will never consider a "morally grey area" when using backups of old games for discontinued consoles. If it's discontinued, you can no longer buy new games for that console that would put money in developer's pockets. It's THAT simple. The 3 only paths are emulators + ROMs (cheapest), original consoles + games (most expensive), or original console + ODE/Everdrives which for be is the best of both worlds, where you can experience the original hardware without spending tons of money (and space) for used games.

Happy 30th Birthday, Sega Saturn❤

I have 4 Saturns and over 1000 games for the system, along with every single first party controller/accessory/add on etc. ever released. In my opinion, it's the absolute greatest console ever made, and I happily sold all of my Sony/Microsoft collection years ago to fund my Saturn fever. Never once regretted it! 99% of the time the Saturn is what I play, with an occasional Dreamcast or SNES game in there for a curveball haha. Great video RB, thanks for showing the Saturn some love!!!

I feel lucky I made a solid library for the saturn in the 90s...  I love it!!!  Dragonforce, Shining Force 3, Guardian Heroes, 3 Dirty Dwarves...  I'll always go back to them!  Thanks for the awesome video!

Outselling the Mega Drive in Japan is kinda underselling it a bit because the Mega Drive didn't sell well in Japan at all, it was a distant third behind the PC Engine and Super Famicom. But, you know what else the Saturn outsold in Japan? The N64, one of its main rivals. In fact, there were 3 times as many games released for the Saturn in total (the majority being Japanese exclusives) than there was for the N64 over its lifetime, just think about that for a moment. It goes to show you how badly Sega of America botched the North American launch of the system which kinda doomed it to fail from the start. Oh, and there wasn't a new exclusive mainline Sonic game for it. That's right, Sega's mascot never got a new mainline game on the Saturn, only some compilations of older games and a weird racing game called Sonic R. Another brilliant decision from Sega, there.

My boy gettin more and more unhinged i love it

Thanks for shining a light on this gem of a console! Was there from day one when it came out and still one of my favorite, unique systems to this day!
