Very happy to have been a Saturn owner in the '90s. I have a very healthy collection of the majority of what folks ga-ga over, but at a fraction of the modern cost. Oh, for the days when stacks of Guardian Heroes were on clearance at Toys R Us for $5 a piece, and they even still had NES stuff on clearance at the same time...

Because that's what they're actually worth. Very few of these games are "rare", pricing has absolutely nothing to do with rarity. Just look at what happened to Earth Bound.

I was a Manager at Toys r Us back during the time most of these released so I had instant access to these Saturn titles the store was in redwood city Ca 3 exits away from Sega of America headquarters. We always had sega people in and out of the store and got some real good information on what was going on with the company.

[@gibsonadd1542]

Cool info! Could you share some thought of the Sega employees in the Saturn's days?

[@ROMANEMPIRE69]

That’s cool. I kinda was in the same boat with Frys. We always had an inside scoop on what was coming out with companies like Apple. Kinda cool to have official inside info. 🤪

[@tyronedrane8394]

They were always at odds with upper management and of course Sega of Japan the, reps wanted the Japanese games localized and managment thought it was a bad idea. I for one was importing games from Japan so I couldn't understand their reasoning. I actually pushed the saturn at my store that's probably why they liked visiting the store it's because of them I was able to get the final four games that were released at the end of the Saturn's life you know them as panzer dragoon saga, burning rangers,shining force 3, and house of the dead. Out of all the reps such as Nintendo and Sony they were my favorite.

[@cinnamondan4984]

In a world where we can easily and effectively emulate Saturn games with official Saturn controllers no less buying any of these games is less about pursuing quality titles and more about collecting artefacts. As a previous collector I remember how addicting that next high could be in completing a library. That being said, Dragon Force is the best Sega Saturn game for sure.

[@willk7184]

In a strange way, collectors have ruined the once-fun hobby of collecting due to chasing up prices to ridiculous levels. Now I just want to play the games and I don't care about what I have on my shelf anymore.

This is why I stopped collecting Saturn games years ago. The price vs gameplay value is so tilted. I got the games i wanted and got out. I got my Pebble Beach Golf Links with Craig The Walrus Stadler and that's all I need.

[@SwankeyMonkey]

It's funny that although I have no care for Golf, whether playing IRL or watching on TV, I LOOOOVE this game. I happen to have a huge (280+) Saturn game collection CIB (having many of these ridiculously overpriced titles), just because I was like the only SEGA nut back in the day --but even with all the incredible Saturn games to choose from, I often find myself playing Pebble Beach Golf Links when I want to unwind from a hard day at work. I think it might be the simplicity of play, and the background music just makes this such an inviting and relaxing game. And it also happens to be a great competitive party game, we sometimes make wagers on shots.

Don't beat yourselves up too bad. Many of us made this mistake. I did the same thing with my Super Nintendo to get an N64.

[@DeathToJihad]

At least Dreamcast games are also very expensive.

[@OriginalMegamanX]

@@DeathToJihad It's true that some are but that's not the point. It's the childhood memories we have that's associated with these games and the desire to play them again. When those games turn prohibitively expensive to get back you kick yourself for ever letting them go in the first place. Like many other collectors I'm trying to hunt down the games I had as a kid as well as expand my collection overall. Many of us realized that we would regret selling off our old games to get the new releases after some or even a lot of these games had already been lost to us. We realized replacing them would be an enormous and possibly expensive task. I personally stopped selling my games off during the PS1 era but others took a bit longer. Looking up these games now and seeing that they're more expensive than ever ( especially for systems like the Saturn) is a real kick to the gut. For a lot of us collecting is about re-experiencing childhood memories and even sharing these with our children. Not so we can say "Yeah, I got this $500 game sitting on my shelf at home."

[@alcyonedevelopments7398]

I kinda feel you man, except i could buy everything again later. Keep looking out, you can get the console itself for not THAT much and at least some games are halfway affordable. Funnily enough, i sold my SNES with like 5 games to buy my saturn, used and pretty much at the end of it's lifetime. Everyone had a Playstation or an N64 back then, so i figured i could always play those with them, i wanted the console i couldn't play anywhere else. In the long run, i'm happy i did it, because obvious reasons. I bought Panzer Dragoon Saga on launch day and it still sits proudly on my shelf, and Panzer Dragoon Zwei even got played for the first time by my sister and her husband a few weeks back, and both were so hooked that they had to play it through.

Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, Magic Knight Rayearth, all $56 (with tax), and definitely the rarest games I own. Dragon Force and Guardian Heroes, probably $35 (with tax), my friend left Saturn Bomberman (just the disc) at my house, and then stopped talking to me, and never asked for it back, so I got it for free.

[@baronhausenpheffer]

Great video, and thank you for pointing out that quite a lot of these games simply don't justify their current asking cost. There is a total lack of rationality in current Saturn retro collecting prices. I was extremely fortunate to buy a Saturn back in the late 90s just as the system was on its way out, which provided me a great opportunity to buy many games at original MSRP (ex. Marvel Super Heroes, Street Fighter Collection) and others even at a hefty discount (House of the Dead for $20 in a clearance bin). I also managed to do some other collecting on eBay in the late 2000s before prices went through the roof. Honestly, channels like yours and especially "most expensive games / hidden gems" videos like this are a double-edged sword: thanks to you and other KZbinrs, gamers everywhere have finally come to realize how full of hidden, console-exclusive gems the Saturn library really was. The downside is that this same awareness triggered a bidding war from completionist game collectors with more money than good sense, and they have put these classics out of reach for the average gamer. I remain hopeful that maybe future digital releases of some of these games (Saturn Mini? Saturn game compliation for newer consoles?) might finally bring prices down and make collecting these possible for gamers of average means. In the meantime, thank you for shouting some sense into the heart of the whirlwind that "There is no good reason to pay $800 for Daytona USA: Netlink Edition!"

My mom worked as a cell phone dealer (this was early 90s so it was a big deal then) in 2 different malls. One of her stores was right next to an "Electronics Boutique" the other was 3 stores down from a "Software ETC". Needless to say, when I'd have to go with her when she worked night shift, and stay as a kid I'd be in those stores and the arcades. I eventually pre-ordered a dreamcast in 1998 but I had the Saturn before. Marcus was the name of the manager at the Software ETC and he told me to wait a week and the Saturn games would be cheap. Well, they were. I got so many games for ~$100 (My lawn mowing money). I even had doubles of some titles. About a month after that, Marcus came into my mom's store with another one of his guys with a rolling cart and 2 big cardboard boxes. They were full of Saturn games. He asked me if I wanted them and to give him an offer. We left that day with all those games for $150. I had to borrow money from my mom. I guess they weren't selling even on closeout, so he just took what he could for them since they were already considered a loss. There was every rare game in there you could think of. I still have 10 sealed copies of PDS from that day. MKR, MMX4, MM8, etc... This story isn't a unique one either. These games aren't that rare. People just hoard them and mess with the "market".

[@newtypepunk9967]

@@SegaLordX Exactly why I bought the Japanese one.

[@DTM-Books]

Another key strategy for collectors is to be patient when scouring Ebay for finds. Every once in a while, you will find a rare title for a very low price that somehow gets ignored by bidders. I also recommend buying “disc only” titles, whoch may be notably cheaper. I bought a disc copy of Worldwide Soccer 98 for $10, while the boxed copy goes for $40. If you see a bargain like that, go for it. Finally, don’t forget that CD-R is an option, especially for super rare classics like Powerslave. Keep looking to collect your library, but don’t miss out on playing old videogames. This also applies to fan translations such as Shining Force 3 Trilogy, Policenauts and Sakura Wars.

Wow I bought that same version of Virtua Fighter Remix for $12 complete at a local retro store about 2 years back. Had no idea it jumped up in price.

Recently got my Saturn emulator up and running. I'm really excited to try out both Dragonforce games

[@ThoughtformsOfTheSubconsciousM]

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with the views on Frankenstein here. I think the game is very good and while adventure games like that are certainly not everyone's cup of tea, calling it a "bad game" is simply not true. Might be worth a deeper look to appreciate it sometime in the future.

[@jakescartoons6045]

Surprising that "Virtua Fighter: Remix" is $200 or more for a long box copy. I recently got a "not for resale" copy in a standard CD jewel case for only $40, and both the case and disc were in good condition. And before you ask, no. It wasn't the Japanese version. It was an American copy.

[@cosmic25sheep]

I'm happy I own Shining Force Holy Ark and DragonForce and completed them both.

[@SataniaMcDowel]

I'm not gonna lie. I bought a Sega Saturn on the summer of 2019 And I have absolutely no games for it

[@ciredark]

You're gunna wanna keep an eye on the Satiator Flash Card project and get yourself one of those when they finally come out. Dump a bunch of ROMs onto it, try a bunch of games, and then buy physical copies of the ones you actually like and enjoy.

[@rushnerd]

You teased Panzer Dragoon Saga at the start, but I didn't see it in the video. How much does it go for? Was always curious what it played like.

[@choco_easty]

We definitely need a part 2!! Please! Love all your videos man!

I have been waiting for this!

Great video, it deserves a sequel.

[@merlip80]

Yeah blood you know that. :)

[@SegaBoy8]

Had no idea about Final Fight Revenge. I may have to seek one out because Final Fight is a favorite series of mine, and Revenge just looks so goofy and over the top. I really enjoyed this video. I’d love to see a Part 2.

[@AnGhaeilge]

That sound effect in courier crisis is in another game. I can't think what it is right now.

[@Sklabah]

I was very fortunate to get into the Saturn at an ideal time, when the import prices weren't insane, and the US retail market still had a lot left on the shelves if you knew where to dig. I've had or have most of what's on your list, and while I sold off some that I miss, I still consider my Saturn collection my favorite slice of gaming, despite being very into current gen stuff. Fun video!

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Kinda surprised Deep Fear didn't make the last section. The PAL version (there isn't a US version) is bonkers expensive, but the cheap Japanese version has dialogue and most menus in English, so it's very playable.

[@coryrabbit]

You've got my vote for part two. You're my go to for Sega info.

[@aschraub9897]

Shining the Holy Ark kinda gave me some Golden Sun vibes!

[@Soulintent95]

Ive seen power slave many times. It looks like a game id love. It seems imaginative, and in that respect i feel as though it would remind me of how i felt playing games like timesplitters back in the day. I need to find out if my uncle still has his saturn... id buy that thing for whatever price he wants. Saturn was always cool as hell to me. Also, love the arcade music in between segments! Hit me in the nostalgia with altered beast and golden axe.

[@IMDLEGEND]

I love Powerslave! It is probably the only Saturn game in which the lighting effects are better than they are on the Playstation version. It was the first 3D shooter game that I remember playing in which you could look up and down.

[@Greybush46322]

I'm so glad that I own several of the titles mentioned. Mostly glad that I bought them new and never sold them. Saturn Bomberman, Working Designs Sega Ages, Street Fighter Zero 3, Super Tempo, and Blast Wind are just a few I bought new in the 90's and kept. I would not dream of paying the asking prices now.

[@cwing1028]

I love your channel, especially Saturn games and hard to find Dreamcast games. Never got a chance to get a Saturn so I’m living through your experiences

[@philosophyoftrucking]

Yep. I'm going to need a part 2. Also, Sega CD.

Man i wish i still had guardian heroes, my fav game of all time. Good thing im getting an odroid soon, its one of the games on the list :)

[@ulysses2162]

I have a mint, complete copy of Exhumed (PAL) on the Saturn. I think I paid like £10-15 for it at the time. It's worth around £40-50 now on eBay.

[@OriginalMegamanX]

Yes, please do a part 2 to this video. I really enjoyed it. I wasn't able to get a Saturn as a kid because it was so expensive ( lol, my father just laughed at me when he seen how much the Saturn cost) but my wife got me one a couple of years ago CIB no less for a great price and so finally I can experience this legendary library of games. I actually stumbled upon Sega Ages at my local retro game shop last year and got it along with Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2 all CIB and in mint condition for well under market. Sega Ages is the pride of my Saturn collection and a fantastic game but it is most definitely not worth spending $200 on. I picked up a replay ram card and I'm fixing to start importing since the PAL and Japanese versions are far more reasonable in price........mostly.

[@fidget18s48]

Quite happy that I still have my copies of Shining and the Holy Ark, Guardian Heroes and Panzer Dragoon Saga. Wish I had bought Dragon Force all those years ago though.

Dood!! What a great episode. You create the most amazing content, week after week. I’m indebted to you for the rest of my life for giving us such amazingly well thought out and wonderful editing and voice overs. Thank you so much man. Please give a part two. I was going to ask before you ever even thought of asking us if we wanted it. ;-)
