Sega needs to show the Saturn more love

Sega has been making a lot of retro gaming announcements. It’s going to start releasing old Genesis and Master System games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Alex Kidd on the Switch as digital downloads. Shenmue and Shenmue II are coming to modern platforms. And Sega is working on a new mini-version of the Genesis. All of that is great, but where’s the love for the Sega Saturn?

Saturn is my 3rd favorite Sega platform right behind Dreamcast and Genesis. It is a great system with great games but the popularity of the PS1 was just too much to ignore.

I'd love it is xbo would allow for playback of Saturn (and DC) games like it does og and 360. Pop in a disc of Burning Rangers and the xbo dl an updated version to play that looks good on modern tv's. Would be a dream come true.

I approved this article so fast!
"I can play sonic the hedgehog on my microwave!" dead! Those genesis games are overplayed and tired.
The Saturn had an impressive collection of quality JRPG's, Shining Force, Dragon Force, Albert Odyssey, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining the holy ark, Dark Savior (talk about creating an atmosphere) .some that were not translated in English. Go tweet Sega about this.

Saturn was notoriously difficult to program for. Maybe that's why it may be harder to port them.

Fullmetalevolust2199d ago

They have ported Nights into Dreams and Guardian Heroes, I am not sure how they managed but these ports were actually great. There sega saturn emulators out there that can play most of the Saturn's library, why can't Sega create a mini Saturn. They also have ported Saturn games to ps2 via Sega ages.

The people running sega seem retarded.. There are so many options available for them to print cash like the federal government..

Derceto2199d ago (Edited 2199d ago )

Saturn was a good, but, over complicated system.

So many of the games made for it were lazily crapped out while hilariously under utilizing the system's capabilities. A few gems really stand out and show off what this system was capable of.

Not to give it a free pass though either, as Sega screwed the pooch on its design and complexity, to say nothing of the blunder that was its expedited release out of fear of the Playstation.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle14h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
