Title: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Tondog on March 15, 2009, 01:14:55 AM Hey ya'll, so next week I'm probably gonna end up with a Sega Saturn, and I wanted some input on what games are good. Anyone have games they'd like to recommend? I like action games, side scrollers, fighters, shmups, whatever, as long as it's good.
Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Cobra on March 15, 2009, 02:17:02 AM Guardian Heroes is a must.
Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Tondog on March 15, 2009, 02:48:14 AM But it's $70. Damn. I need to figure out how to do the swap trick.
Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Cobra on March 15, 2009, 04:02:24 AM Hopefully you can pick it up cheaper than that. The good Saturn games can be a bit pricey. Other good Saturn exclusives I'm pretty sure the US got would be Fighters Megamix, Dragon Force, Saturn Bomberman, Nights, Last Bronx, Die Hard Arcade, Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon Trilogy and Astal.
I guess you can either take or leave Astal, personally I really like this 2D platformer. Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Arrrhalomynn on March 15, 2009, 04:47:24 AM Sega Rally Championship and Virtua Fighter 2 are my favourite Saturn games.

Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Beardcore84 on March 15, 2009, 12:04:27 PM Die Hard Arcade
Virtua Cop Fighters Megamix Bug! Clockwork Knights NiGHTS into Dreams Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Tondog on March 15, 2009, 07:05:48 PM Oh, I'm also open to imports as well since the Japanese Saturn lineup is way better than the US lineup.
Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Cobra on March 15, 2009, 08:30:29 PM Two more local ones for you:
Christmas Nights Virtual-On If you are after Jap games here is my list of recommendations I think you will like: Akumajo Dracula X Bulk Slash Dead or Alive (actual arcade port, not the 2D backdrop PS1 remake) Daytona USA - Circuit Edition (is like Daytona USA + Daytona CCE in one) Elevator Action Returns Goiken Muyou (plays like Virtua Fighter meets Dead or Alive) Gunbird Groove On Fight The King of Fighters '97 Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter Radiant Silvergun Street Fighter Zero 3 (perfect port, even better than the DC version) X-Men vs. Street Fighter Pocket Fighter Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Shimra on March 15, 2009, 10:19:15 PM Seems like most people already recommended what I was going to... but I'll just jump in anyway.
Guardian Heroes is supposedly the ultimate beat-em up. NIGHTS receives unanimous praise. Radiant Silvergun is a SHMUP that is by Treasure and many argue it is better than Ikuruga. Panzer Dragoon Saga has consistently received fantastic reviews, though it is most likely the most expensive. Akumajo Dracula X is Rondo of Blood which is a lot of Castlevania fans' favorite Classicvania. Saturn Bomberman is also praised by fans of the series as the best entry. And of course there are a good deal of good 2d fighting games. In all honesty I don't know much about the Saturn, those are the things that stick out in my mind though. I'm sure there are a great deal of other solid titles as well. Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Crabmaster2000 on March 17, 2009, 09:56:07 AM I loved Lost Vikings: Norse by Norsewest. If you can find a copy of that one, and enjoy puzzle/platforming, you will probably like this one a lot. The voice acting is pretty funny too.
Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Beardcore84 on March 17, 2009, 10:05:40 AM Seriously. Die Hard Arcade is the essential Beat Em Up on the Saturn. Fun as hell you can beat the game pretty easily and play through again trying to do new moves and figure out how to arrest the bad guys, etc. Its awesome.

Mortal Kombat II Ultimate Mortal Kombat III Sonic Jam Gradius Deluxe Pack Salamander Deluxe Pack Title: Re: Saturn Recommendations Post by: Wolfman Walt on March 17, 2009, 06:02:37 PM Guardian Heroes is a must. This, though knowing you how I do, not so sure if you'd like it alot...then again, you liked Godhand, so it's strongly possible. Try out Three Dirty Dwarves. It's a GREAT game no one has mentioned yet. Great humor, fun combat system, and 3 player co-op. |
