Capcom and the Sega Saturn - Over 30 Games Covered!

Saturn was the place for fighting games, PlayStation for RPGs and the N64 for first person shooters. Crazy times.

[@griffgames9538]

Dragon Force 1+2, Shining Force 3 Trilogy, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Grandia, Dark Savior, Shining the Holy Ark, Vandal Hearts, Magic Knight Rayearth, Albert Odyssey... to name a few. Saturn wasn't half bad for RPGs/SRPGs/Action RPGs ;)

[@chazmaru9583]

Excellent chronological walkthrough of Capcom’s great support of the SegaSaturn. A few minor details you missed: 3:19 Hanako-san ga Kita!! happens to be Takumi Shū’s very first game. He would go on to become much more famous for the Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) series. 12:11 This mahjong game was the last software released for the 3DO in Japan. The 3DO version had been announced (and probably completed) a long time prior, but it seems Capcom waited to finish the SS & PS ports in order to release all versions simultaneously in June 1996. 32:46 Vampire Savior on the Saturn has another outstanding feature: it actually combines the rosters from all three arcade versions of the game (Vampire Savior, Vampire Hunter 2, Vampire Savior 2). CPS2 boards did not have enough memory space to feature all 18 characters so they had to split different roster configurations in three different versions. But thanks to the CD-ROM’s space, they could all fit together on the Saturn, which makes it an (even more) amazing port.

[@MuhammadAli-xw4yc]

You forgot to mention that all the dark stalkers and the vampire saviour titles are all released outside japan officially called Capcom Fighting Bundle, I have it for PS4 and it's brilliant. How on earth did Sega Lord X not know about this title is beyond me.

[@Leynx-Et-Fenrir]

IMHO, the best version of Darkstalkers 3 with Darkstalkers Chronicles. Even the last fighting bundles by Capcom only offer the CPS2 versions

Street Fighter Alpha 2 was damn near perfect on the Sega Saturn. That port was the reason I was able to become a challenge to other players when I visited the arcade.

[@pixelpoppyproductions]

X-Men vs Street Fighter was the first of many import games I got through NSCX between 1997-1999. I guess that really distorts my memory of the Saturn, because I had lots of great games to play long after I got bored of my N64. Vampire Savior is probably my favorite import of all the great Saturn imports!

[@Raphael_De_La_Ghetto]

[@michaelpaoletti8588]

Capcom and Japanese Saturn was such a powerful combination. Such good times looking thru the back of Diehard Gamers magazine for upcoming Saturn Japanese releases...

[@G.L.999]

The reason Capcom supported and invested in the Saturn(as well as the Dreamcast) so much back then was because Capcom was also an invester in Hitachi. The Cx4 Chips that were used inside the 'Megaman X trilogy' games plus 'Street Fighter II: The World Warrior' on Super Nintendo were manufactured by the same company helped Sega manufacture the Saturn and Dreamcast.

[@marakarthegreat]

I have a soft spot for 90s Capcom . Mostly because of games like Resident Evil , Street Fighter 2 , Darkstalkers & Dino Crisis on the PlayStation. But I wish I could have played the Sega Saturn version of these games especially Resident Evil on the Saturn so I could play the Battle game on that version. I have never played the Arcade perfect ports of Street Fighter Alpha & X-Men vs Street Fighter. Great coverage as always Sega Lord X you are really got me wanting to get a Saturn so I could play X-Men Children of the Atom . I love that game 😃

[@Thor-Orion]

They kept it up on the Dreamcast as well, with Third Strike, Powerstone 1+2 and Rival Schools Project Justice along with Code Veronica and a few others. Once Capcom started supporting Sega they showed out pretty hard on their consoles.

[@williammcguire130]

There's an arcade perfect port of Alpha on every current console and Steam

[@PhinneusPrune]

Hey SLX ... not sure if you played it. But if you want every Capcom Arcade Beat em up. Capcom released "Capcom Beat em up bundle" on the XBox one (series) and PS4(5) last year. 100% perfect arcade ports of Dungeons and Dragons, Final Fight, Warriors of Fate, Armored Warriors, King of Dragons, Knights of the Round and Battle Circuit. Capcom also released a Street Fighter bundle that includes all of the Streetfighters 1 through 3. These bundles is right up your alley if you haven't gotten it already. They are all direct ports of the arcade versions.

[@brianmcdonald7017]

You and gamesack are the 2 best by far

[@reptilez13]

Tbf the Saturns lack of transparency was an issue in other games lol. I love the Saturn but the versatility of the PS1 didnt help things for Sega at that time, with of course the strong brand presence like you mentioned, bias etc. but part of that was Segas fault for screwing up so hard in the west with the 32X and the Saturn launch etc. so part of that uphill battle was very much Sega reaping what it had sown.

[@bullfrogjay4383]

Very cool video. I was a N64 kid but have always been fascinated by the Saturn. It was so poorly marketed from what I remember from that gaming era. Playstation was so huge it seemed to get the most attention and support. I love hearing about the Saturn and all the games it had.

[@turtleanton6539]

[@Mr_APeezy]

Funnily enough, I had already seen all of these on one of your older videos but still watched most of this upload with glee. I definitely have to thank you as someone who grew up in the 80s but only played or owned (in what seemingly is) a fraction of the games you have posted about over the years. Once this “shipping issue” between Valve and FedEx clears up, I’m seriously turning my Steam Deck into a retro handheld. There’s literally years worth of games (and a ton of weird Arcade or Japan only games / spin-offs) I’m so ready to play. I got a notes long doc of pretty much games I want replay and a ton from your vids. I can’t thank you enough! Now all that’s stopping me now is a paid off but undelivered $700 device “lol”.

[@j.goggels9115]

In Sega Lord X's case, I prefer the shorter format because of how dense the videos are. Each video is jampacked with information related to a precise topic. These are not documentaries, these are newspaper articles, including in Mel's excellent writing style. In a newspaper article, you go grab the info. In a documentary, you try to get the full picture. For example, how did the Shinobi Team work. That is your documentary. Bearing in mind a documentary takes a awful lot of work, I am very happy with the weekly newspaper article format. If anything, like all Sega fans, I am pleasantly surprised how Mel has stayed so consistent in the great quality of his awesome work over time. That is some achievement.

[@PikaStu666]

Awesome video dude. Between Capcom and SNK converting titles to Saturn and supporting the RAM cartridge, IMO the Saturn was a must-own console. It still is!

[@raikohzx4323]

Fun thing about ports like Mega Man 8 and X4 is that they actually had a couple tweaks despite the worse sound quality and lack of transparencies. Mainly in things like background heat haze effects, or how X4 got songs with altered intros and loop points. 8 on the other hand was a special version with secret Cut Man and Wood Man boss fights and a new Tengu Man theme, effectively being the more complete package.

People hated on street fighter the movie because the game was bad. However after seeing what a mess the arcade was, capcom decided to take things in hand for the saturn port. So they took all the art assets that were produced for the game (sprites, backgrounds, sounds,etc) and pasted them onto the SF2T engine. The result is that you have a game that plays nothing like the original SF2:The Movie game and almost identical to SF2T.

[@Thor-Orion]

Na, people hated on the movie because the movie was bad. Have you seen the first Mortal Kombat movie? Fucking way better than the Street Fighter movie. But the Street Fighter games are better and that’s what counts.

It’s incredible Japanese library, it’s multiple Shoot them ups and quality fighters was more than enough for me to fall in love with. I do have an original Saturn however it’s really expensive to collect games for the consul as it is now.

I never got to own these fighting games growing up. But I love Vampire Savior and have been playing it on the Capcom Fighting Collection and Fightcade. One thing I'll say though is that the Saturn controller is still the best for directional pad fighting.

I still can't understand why SEGA didn't release these great arcade titles in USA and Europe. They have very little dialogue to translate, they still look great and they are the best versions. I played most of them on Playstation, as they were the only available ones in Europe, and they were very popular, which proves that the interest in action games was still there. Saturn deserved better support and a full lifespan. SEGA would triumph today with all the indie 2D games, which are arcade games at heart, and action online games, like Outrigger. I hope they find the neccessary funds and talented people for a full comeback, even if it looks improbable.
