It's Time to Change the Narrative About SEGA Saturn... - SEGA SATURN, SHIRO!

  I agree. Saturn is it’s own thing. Trouble is, like many, I never experienced it. It was simply too expensive, to buy with my allowance left over after my Sega 32X and Sega CD and Sony PlayStation.

  And it’s bloody hard to emulate.

  From what I know of the Saturn catalog, Sega would change the narrative decisively, overnight, by finally releasing a Sega Saturn Mini console.

    SegaLordX on YouTube is great for learning about Saturn games

      I’ve seen some of SegaLordX’s videos, and they were great. This is great reminder that I should go binge their back catalog. Thanks!

    My friend had a Saturn and it was so dope.

    Panzer Dragoon and Materia were so fun.

    Uh…there was an article that had a Sega executive stating that manufacturing more microconsoles would be expensive.

      Yeah. I’ve seen that, too. It’s a shame.

      I suspect that “expensive” here means “not as wildly profitable as we’re used to”, and that they’ll get around to it when they run out of other ideas.

      There’s a few companies out there now successfully selling hard to emulate stuff. I dream that Sega can make a deal with one of them to make a DreamCast and a Saturn Mini console happen.

      Or feven a nice Steam bundle would be okay with me. I’m not going to plop down $7 per game when I don’t know anything about their catalog, but I’m down for a big $40-$60 curated collection.
