Panzer Dragoon made it to 1st gen Xbox iirc.

Saturn and following on, the Dreamcast were quite good and deserved more success.

The Dreamcast was great, but while the Saturn had some great game the console itself was really not "quite good" beside as a tech curiosity. It suffered greatly from being two consoles smashed in one.
Panzer Dragoon (the rail shooter) might have but not Panzer Dragoon Saga (the RPG). That was never re-released and the source code was lost.
I don't think it was the case for Panzer Dragoon Saga (the RPG) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_Dragoon_Saga
Sega created a Panzer Dragoon game for the Xbox (great game), but the original Panzer Dragoon games never got ported as far as I know
The first game had a PC port, which was later included as a bonus in Panzer Dragoon Orta.
The original Panzer Dragoon games were remade for modern consoles a few years ago. Saga still hasn't been ported though.
When you unlock Pandora's box in Orta you can play the original game...the PC port version that is
That’s not PD Saga though

Saga was a totally different game to the 2 rail shooters that preceded it

Oh I know it wasn't Saga. I own every Panzer Dragoon game(but not the remake of the original that came out on the Switch and Playstation 4 however).
Panzer Dragoon Orta did, along with (I believe emulated) copy of the original Panzer Dragoon embedded inside, but not Saga.
