1996. I was 13 years old and I was begging my dad all year for one. He kept saying no. Birthday came around, no Saturn. Then it was Christmas of 96 and not a single gift was wrapped in the shape of a video game console box. I knew I wasn't going get it and I was at peace with it. I still had my Genesis to keep my company. Then I get a gift that's in the shape of a shoebox. Maybe it was Airwalks and that would kinda make up for it. I tear it open and it's old pair of shoes my dad use to wear. There was a note that said "put these on and walk to the hall closet". I didn't put them on but I went to the hall closet and there was a wrapped gift in the shape of console box. Could it be what I wanted and begged for all year?? There was a note that said something like "This MEGA gift is out of this world" and my dad kept trying to get me to guess and would say "MEGA... Out of this world...." I was so excited I couldn't respond and I tore that paper off so fast and there it was. My Sega Saturn. Then another gift that I unwrapped and it was the 3 free games with Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighting 2, and Daytona USA. I also got another game called Solar Eclipse. I remember liking that game a lot as a kid, but playing it now... meh haha. Even though I don't have it on video, for as long as I live I will always remember that Christmas and will be grateful towards my dad for making a fun game out of it because he knew how badly I wanted it. You're very lucky your dad recorded a lot of your childhood. I wish I had that.

Yes very lucky. We never had the money for a camcorder (and so my dreams of being a stop motion animator went down the drain). In my whole childhood, there were only two videos of me, recorded by the school. My mum lost one of them, and the other one she left in the cellar to go mouldy and unplayable. Crazy to think how different it is now that everyone has a videocamera in their pocket and can record everything.

Out of anyone on KZbin, you and your dad have changed my mind about the Saturn the most. I was a Sega kid through and through, but we didn't have much money and after my dad got burned on the 32X it was over. And at that point with 3d graphics the PlayStation was cheaper and did it slightly better. What I didn't know about was the awesome 2D games and imports that the Saturn had. Once again I have missed the boat as the Saturn and it's games are too rich for my blood. Great video Tyler.

I really wanted a Saturn when I was a kid, but never ended up getting one since I chose to wait for the N64. It wasn't until I was in college when I finally got a Saturn and I realized I definitely missed out. However it was't until about a decade ago when I discovered the Japanese library and definitely felt like I missed out. It's amazing you got to experience both libraries of games when you were a kid when it was all brand new, truly special. Anytime I see one of your videos about Saturn I eventually dig mine up and play it. Thanks for keeping this forgotten golden age of 2D/semi-2D gaming alive!

If Sega would of reduced the sticker price by $100, included the original JPN Saturn controller, improved it's 3D Engine to match PS1's, Canned the 'surprise' out of nowhere store launch, brought over more of it's incredible line up of 2D titles from Japan, and maybe kept the original Saturn logo and gold label art work, it may of very well been able to go toe to toe with PS1. Looking back, Astal was the star of the show in my eyes, based on what was released in NA. Unfortunately for me, i never got into importing, and winded up selling my Saturn a few months after PS1 released.

Man I LOVED the Saturn! Even before the launch, I traded in a bunch of old SNES and Genesis games to FuncoLand to earn enough store credit so that I could make sure that I would pick one up on launch day. I had expected to pick it up in September but I was shocked (and delighted) to learn that it came out several months early. That meant that I got an entire Summer vacation to play and enjoy my new Saturn console, which I got along with Clockwork Knight, Bug, Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter, and Panzer Dragoon. I still have my Saturn to this very day and keep it hooked up, though I have since modded it to play games off an SD card. One thing's for sure, from 1995 to 1998 I was team Saturn all the way! Thanks for the awesome video, it was both touching and nostalgic as usual.

I remember I had a really hard time choosing between the Saturn and Playstation consoles. I could only afford one but I remember that being one of the toughest choices I had to make for a generation. Had the Genesis and loved it but ended up going with the Playstation. Twisted Metal and Crash kinda won me over but it wasn't easy. I'd like to add after seeing the Metal Slug segment of your video, my uncle would always buy me one game for my birthday and sometimes before he even left for the night I'd already have beaten the game he bought for me and he'd always get bent out of shape about it. I'd try and tell him I'd play this a million times over, back then games weren't very long at all and were meant to be replayed over and over again but he never got that lol. He'd pick out the hardest games on purpose for me just because they'd last longer. I still remember when he got me Metal Mech on the NES and Shadow of the Ninja, some really tough ones. Remember playing Metal Mech and struggling with it and my dad seen that and he said "It's not hard, you just gotta figure it out" and I sat with him on the couch and he was reading over the instruction manual with me and my mom took a picture. Mom has it in her photo album still. Never forget that.

Awesome video man. I loved the Saturn Japanese imports and I think if Sega had brought a lot of those games over from Japan that the console would have lived longer. Do you still have that Sega Kiosk? That's incredible! Your dad was an awesome hunter of games.

My cousin Tyler got the Saturn when it came out and I’ll never forget playing virtual cop … I got a Saturn myself about 15 years later for around $33 on Craigslist with some games … I love the Saturn imports .. I would always say if Saturn in America got all the Japanese games then it would have been remembered differently… great video your dad was amazing RIP

I traded in my entire Sega collection at Funcoland for Saturn. That was the only way I could afford it. I never regretted doing that. Saturn was never going to be the headliner, but I didn't mind. I think I enjoyed being part of something different and relished in the fact that my console was so different. Great video. Dad really took you along for the coolest ride. Glad we are all part of it now.

When everyone else in Junior High had Playstation, N64, or Dreamcast, Me and one other person had Saturn. I played so much Virtua Cop 2, I knew where the enemies would appear before they were on screen.

I had a Saturn never owned a ps1 , got a N64 later , my dad and had a gamestore in the city that sold Saturn JP imports so this video hits right in the feels. I know exactly how it felt to enjoy incredible Saturn games when it was " officially dead" over here in the West.

I'm sure it's been said before. I'm sure your dad would have loved being a KZbin star. Your videos are precious. Not just for your family but for all of us. Amazing! I'd just watch the vid with your cousins in; but couldn't comment on that one.

Saturn is my favorite old school console. I have several versions including super rare Japanese variants. And of course I still have my original launch console I bought for $400 at Toys r Us in 95.

It’s one of the coolest and (sadly) most expensive consoles to collect for!

Great vid bro 🙏🏽 I love my Sega consoles...I'm more a Nintendo nerd but when it came to the Sega generation I was Both, I grew up with the NES but when it came to the 16bit era I chose the Sega Megadrive over the SNES for some reason I just loved it and still do... I've got nearly all the Sega consoles Megadrive, Mega CD, 32x, Saturn, Dreamcast and I've also got the Sega Victor Wondermega it's a Sega Megadrive and Sega Mega CD in 1 🤘🏾I proudly display them along side all my Nintendo consoles and stuff...What a time to be alive bro What a timmme to be alive 🙏🏽👍🏾

i remember seeing of those for the first time in canada when i was 10 years old. the person who owned it was the older brother of the girls i stayed with. saw daytona, virtua vighter, fighting vipers, mortal kombat 2, virtua cop, a bunch of sports games but my all time favorite was the house of the dead. these days any maniac can emulate these systems. the saturn emulator however has come a long way but it still needs optimization to run as intended. all in all, this system will continue to live on.
