The Ultimate Saturn List

[Strider]

Now I've managed to borrow a N64 off my cousin, I'm now after a Saturn.

I love 2d shooters and fighters, so would like the ultimate list, so I have something to slowly aim for.

Go, Go, Go

[Sketcz]

In the hunt - nice metal slug type shooter thats cheap-ish

and if your going to play imports, try:
Princess Crown - 2D, beautiful, and the combat sections are slightly beat-em-uppy, sort of.

Im sure everyone else can list umpteen other clasics

[Strider]

Yup, I'm after Jap stuff mostly, as that's where all the good stuff is

[Strider]

Cheers mate, there's a few tasty ones there and no mistake. Anyone know of good sites to buy stuff from and read reviews etc?

[Geezer]

One of the first games you should pick up is SF Zero 3, the price of the game has rocketed recently($150ish for the RAM box version!!), but videogameimports still have the game on its own at a reasonable price and its bloody good, my favourite version

With regards to must haves, Big Al has listed pretty much all the ones I was going to plus more!!

However, there's a few more I can think of:

Nights
Burning Rangers
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Sega Rally
Sonic R
Sonic Jam
Virtua Cop 1+2

Can't think of any more atm!

[Strider]

God damit, I knew I shouldn't have sold Streetfighter Zero 3

Did it come out in America by any chance?

[Geezer]

Nope, Japan only.

VGI have a minter for ?28 and a sealed copy at ?34.99, a week or 2 ago they had at least 2 and they were ?29.99, but down to the last one, so up goes the price

A copy in really substandard condition went for the equivalent of ?35 to ?40 on eBay within the last month and I was talking to mark.in.japan and the standalone(mint) is pulling in $80 to $90 a pop for him

Now is the time to buy

[Strider]

I've got a mate with quite a few Japanese contacts, at one stage he was getting the likes of Zero and Elevator Action Returns for around 10 pounds a pop.

Just out of interest, I'm a huge fan of unlockable contents, what shooters should I look out for?

[Papercut]

Saturn Bomberman with two taps and eight controllers is a must

[Strider]

Doh, double post

[Geezer]

Cyberbots and Derinpa Deluxe aren't shmups afaik.

That list looks very much like part of my shopping list tbh, I had intended to keep my Saturn collection to 30 games or under but it's impossible, there's too many good games
