have you played yours recently? Better do so before Segata Sanshiro tracks you down. I did some Night Striker S and Kingdom Grand Prix over the weekend.

I could, but I'm honestly curious if anyone on nu-Yea Forums plays Saturn stuff.
Gabriel James
I had the day off yesterday, and I spent it playing Saturn and Dreamcast. Sega Rally and Virtual-On were what I played on Saturn.
Colton Lopez
>Virtual-On
Based.
I wish the more recent one on PS4 had offline multiplayer. The online-only trend is a cancer. I got some fond memories of playing split-screen Virtual-On with some bros back in the late 90's.
Jonathan Lopez
nobody wanted to touch the saturn then
and it did not get any better since
Owen Walker
Sad!
Christian Edwards
I've been fucking around with this lately.
Ayden Rivera
Is this enjoyable without knowing much Japanese?
Gabriel Perry
I'm plodding my way through Ronde occasionally, but I really need to get a save pak before my console's battery dies again. How reliable are the currently produced action replay plus carts?
Cameron Turner
Wish I could answer that, but I got my 4-in-1 years ago so I dunno what's up with the more recent carts.
Dominic Johnson
It's an RPG. I would say probably not. Maybe there's a translation? I've never looked.
Jordan Rivera
Yeah, I'd probably need to emulate it with an English patch if it exists.
Hudson Martin
Did anyone else notice this?
Mason Jones
No worries. The recent reviews look pretty good, so I might take the plunge. I'd rather risk the $40 and get 4 carts in one than muck about with 30 year old RAM carts and save carts.
Robert Wright
Yeah, makes sense. I hope that works out for you.
Anthony Torres
nice
they deserved a better editor than sega
Matthew Hill
In the same vein of Saturn Hardware, is the 3D controller worth picking up? I love the standard controller but I've never tried any of the more action-oriented games with it.
Sebastian Brown
I just use mine for Panzer Dragoon Zwei & Saga, and NiGHTS. Also, if you plan on playing Zwei with one:
>if you turn off the Berserk action on the X button this bug should stop occurring. Good to know.
Otherwise Berserk mode will go off randomly.
Camden Powell
(greentext taken from a thread on gamefaqs about the issue)
Just wanted to post that here since it took me a while to figure that shit out.
Alexander Moore
Thanks for the tip user. I'd like to pick up the PD games eventually so I'll definitely keep that in mind.
Parker Wright
I've played the Saturn version of Sonic 3D, Croc and also Sonic 1 on Sonic Jam this year. Got Shinobi X a little while back which is fun. Feel like replaying Tomb Raider so might try the Saturn version.
Ryder Johnson
PD1 was designed around the D-pad, so you won't have any difference using the analog function, but Zwei and Saga were designed around analog movement. (still playable with a regular controller, just not as fluidly) Good luck finding PD games for sane prices. Also, unpopular opinion: PD1 remake > the original game.
Austin Collins
>Good luck finding PD games for sane prices.
I've got a JP Saturn thankfully. 1 and 2 are around $40 each and Saga looks like it's $60 right now. There's no way in hell I'm gonna pay US prices lmao
Jacob Russell
played panzer dragon saga for the first time last month. i was blown away at how well it held up. i'm surprised more games didn't try to use that combat system because it was very fun even if it's a bit easy.
Dominic Turner
Yeah, imports of 5th gen games are generally cheaper unless they've never been released outside of Japan.
Kevin Campbell
I loved Saga's combat. It was like FF with the ATB but with positioning to spice things up.
Cooper Cooper
the positioning added a lot of extra depth to it and made the battles much more engaging and fun, so i loved it. it nailed the adventure feel perfectly too, it reminded me of skies of arcadia in that regard. it's a shame skies didn't use saga's combat for the ship battles.
Caleb Reed
>Feel like replaying Tomb Raider so might try the Saturn version.
You really shouldn't
Jace Powell
Favorite area? Mine was the underwater tunnels at Uru. That music, man.
Evan Jones
Also, what'd you name your dragon? I named him Lagi, after the one in Zwei.
Angel Harris
i liked uru, both above and underground. the underground section was neat because not having the dragon was an interesting change of pace and i wasn't expecting that to happen. the ruins had the best layout of all the dungeons so i enjoyed exploring them and the encounters with the flower enemies were neat. i was surprised that they had enemies that required some form of strategy to beat effectively without killing yourself and it reminded me of the flowers from phantasy star online.. but i liked the sequence above ground with the protect keys too.
oh the different dragon types effecting combat was an awesome touch too, the game was really ahead of its time.
agni
Tyler Garcia
>the different dragon types effecting combat was an awesome touch too
Fuck yes, it was.
>spoiler text
Yeah, I liked the not having a dragon section, even though there was no EXP it was good for getting a bunch of free items.
>agni
Any reason? Genuinely curious, not everyday I get to ask someone what they named their dragon in Saga.
Jonathan Clark
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!
Blake Moore
>Any reason?
i just wanted a fire related name and it's one of the first ones that came to mind. i've seen it used in other games like pso and breath of fire so i went with it on a whim.
Josiah Gomez
That makes sense.
Nolan Peterson
Is it worth getting an analog controller for NiGHTS? I heard all future ports are based off the PS2 version, which only had 8 way digital controls.
Luis Rogers
>Is it worth getting an analog controller for NiGHTS?
Yes.
>all future ports are based off the PS2 version, which only had 8 way digital controls.
That's gay.
Chase Reyes
Get it because it's the best retro controller ever. I don't like NiGHTs but love the controller.
David Rodriguez
It's super comfy, sort of like a Dreamcast controller but with an actually good D-pad.
Jayden Martin
Nolan Nguyen
Well, it was a nice thread while it lasted. Thanks, anons.
Jaxon Russell
Disregard , someone bumped it. Thanks,
Noah Flores
Saturn threads are few and far between so I couldn't help but keep it alive.
Favorite models? I love the deep blue buttons of the standard model 1, but the transparent shell of the TiC models always grabs my attention.
Ryder Martin
I just have the model 2 (I think? The one with circular buttons instead of ovals), still pretty cozy to me.
Jose Johnson
That's what I've got too, one of the off-white Japanese models. It pairs really well with my Dreamcast even if the shade's a little different.
Wyatt Robinson
Mine's just a black U.S. model. Never had a reason to get the (better-looking) Jp model since I have a 4-in-1.
Samuel Reyes
I probably would've gotten a US model instead if I'd known about those carts at the time, but I've been happy with mine. Now I just need to start buying games for it again...
Blake Walker
>Now I just need to start buying games for it again...
I'd recommend Soukyugurentai if you like shmups.
Jose Stewart
I still like to play my copy of Primal Rage. Best version, ya know.
Oliver Parker
I haven't played too many shmups, but the gameplay and visuals look really nice. Thanks for the recommendation user.
In turn, I'll recommend Steamgear Mash.
Adrian Rodriguez
I'm not normally a fan of isometric games, but it looks pretty charming, and surprisingly cheap. Might need to pick it up, thanks.
Also, if you ever happen to get Galactic Attack/ Layer Section: If you put the disc in your PC, you can rip the soundtrack.
Connor Jones
. here, also works with Darius Gaiden. (I just popped it into my PC out of curiosity) Which is great because the OST for that game fucking slaps.
Tyler Wood
gg, thread. You made it for a while.
Julian Howard
3 hours is pretty impressive for a Saturn thread on Yea Forums.
Kayden Collins
What's that gif from?
Robert Scott
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner.
JP only and there's no translation patch unfortunately, but it's a good JRPG. One of my favorites in the SMT series.

Isaiah Hall
I wish I got into Saturn a couple years back. I didn't like the idea of getting imports for games that got official releases in the West and that's what kept me away from the idea. I really wanted to get NA region games but that's just not feasible. Now I don't care, I just want to play these games. Thankfully a ton of the JP region games are still pretty cheap, although not as cheap as they were years back
Carson Foster
In the same vein, I wish I'd bought more. Prices haven't gone up that dramatically for most JP games, but shipping has been the big killer for me.
Used to be that I could buy like 7-8 famicom games or 2-3 disk games and they'd all combine for $10 shipping (or $5 if I just bought one or two). Now the same stores I used to buy from are asking almost $20 in shipping for a single cartridge. It's not insanely expensive, but it sucks that it's gone up so much.
Landon Thomas
Yeah, scalpers really ruined that market. Ever since the first wave of stimmy checks hit, they figured "Well, people CAN afford them due to having disposable income, so let's raise the prices for everything."
Colton Green
>Ever since the first wave of stimmy checks hit
Oh god, don't remind me. I was thinking about getting a 64DD at the time and I watched them go from $800 to $1500 in real time.
Lincoln Cook
Boy. Fuck scalpers.
Jonathan Cruz
I'd recommend Saturn Bomberman if you have some IRL friends, extra controllers, and a multitap. Jap version (roughly $50), since the US price is absolutely ludicrous for a fucking Bomberman game.
Lincoln Russell
>IRL friends
Don't got those unfortunately. Interestingly enough, it looks like someone managed to get the online working again for both versions.
