| The Sega Saturn was the first console I purchased with my own money. The Saturn had some great games. Three of the Four launch titles were great: Daytona (Rolling Start....), Virtua Fighter, and Panzer Dragon were far better than anything else available. Street Fighter Alpha 2 was far superior on the Saturn compared to the PS version. And Guardian Heroes (available now on Xbox Live Arcade) is probably one of the best, most underrated sprite based beat-em-ups. Ultimately Sony crushed the competition with titles like, Resident Evil 2, Tekken 3, FFVII, Twisted Metal, etc etc. Which is crazy considering how strong the N64 was. It's sad that Sega laid an egg, but the Saturn had it's time and place. I'm really looking forward to what the Series X can do with it's project X-cloud. My feeling is that it's going to move towards PC gaming--once your console can no longer play games natively, it will switch to pixel streaming. |
