Nice article.

I've played about 90% of those and there are some crackers (and some real rubbish too)

Special menton to astra superstars, vampire saviour, doa, and sfz3

I love the Saturn but never play it. I only have a few games. It's really difficult to collect for the system here in Finland. I think it never had a presence here and since I prefer the Japanese releases anyway, it's useless to try.

[Yakumo]

You should try collecting for it. many of the good games can be bought qite cheap although there are some really expensive titles too.

[danholo]

Yeah I will later when I have a steady job after I finish my studies. The SF collection which features SFZ2Dash sparked my interest. It was quite inexpensive too compared to SFZ3. There's just something Very 90's Japanesy about the Saturn that's appealing, although it lacked many blockbusters the PS had. You posting all those videos certainly doesn't help to stay away.

[Soundwave]

I am purposely bot going to watch this!!!

I managed to whittle my Saturn collection down to just a handful of must own games & I have a sneaky suspicion that if I watch this I'll go bonkers again & buy stuff I don't really need!

I'm still trying to get a good MD & MCD collection together (not to mention SFC) without getting drawn back into the Saturn.

I'm sure it's awesome to watch but I have zero willpower!!!

This made me want Groove on Fight.

This made me want Groove on Fight.

See!!! it's beginning

I know just from looking at the list there is about 4/5 there I've always had my eye on & watching them in action with Yakumos Dulcet tones lulling me I would be hovering over Ebay in seconds.

Featured in this new show is Almost EVERY Sega Saturn fighting game that's not based upon a sport. So that means no stupid wrestling or boxing games. Here we go with the listing of the 65 featured games.

Fail Yakumo, you're are indeed missing one beat'em up the USA and Europe only release of Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

Decent port too as it's just a enchanced version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with more characters, stages, moves, etc.. Best bet if you want a copy is to get a USA one as the PAL version is very hard to find.

Saturn's port of Mortal Kombat 2 was utter **** like you say mid match loading times nasty stuff. If you play as Shang Tsung you even seen the game change into a really low resolution if you have the change option on, mind you "where there's blame there is Akklaim" as the old industry staying went.

[Yakumo]

Yep, I'm aware that there are two Mortal Kombat games missing but since they were never released in Japan I never bothered with them. that and I don't really care for Mortal Kombat. Right better go and hide before I get bombarded with MK hate posts
