Good Games Stuck On Sega Saturn

[@ophidianmind333]

This list is full of great games that really deserve a port so more people can play them, thanks for the excellent video!

[@bruce_just_]

Thanks for the time stamps 👍

[@JustPeasant]

About Panzer Dragoon Saga. For PAL release, ~2000 copies were printed in total. Good luck finding one that doesn't cost you an arm & the leg🍀

[@Joehok4ever]

I found one few years ago . Bought it played it and then sold it. Awesome game indeed

[@slowbro1337]

I have 1 copy unopened. It's kept in a lockbox at my bank along with other rare games I acquired during my childhood. It is one of the rarest I own

[@Pr0-n00b-GaMer-pt]

I have one sealed European copy and one lose. It's for my retirement 😂😂

[@wizkaqueefa9003]

​@@Pr0-n00b-GaMer-ptNo joke, sell 2 of those copies & you could buy a house in about 15 different states with that $10,000-ish 😂

[@nazgulsenpai]

Aye matey

[@mama_there_goes_that_man]

Great video as usual. I think another cool element to Dark Savior that not a lot of people even realise is that the opening of the game is secretly timed, and how quickly you reach your first objective actually completely changes the opening of the game and the story going forward. There are 3 different openings you can get, and one of them involves defeating the captive on the boat, so the whole story going forward is just completely different which is really cool

[@The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung]

That's the same with Shenmue, if you get to X point in so many in-game days, the outcome is different. (this is the spoiler free version) So many gems like this went overlooked, and it's kinda sad.

[@Tebsteroni]

I learn so many good games to try from your videos. Perfect length, just enough info to know if it's a good fit. Thanks!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks Teb, more on the way!

[@Bootyhunter1971]

Couldn't agree more!!

[@MPHswayze]

I love the intro music so much. Always a chill way to start your videos along with your soothing voice. Ah the Saturn. A great video to watch while snowed in on a Sunday

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks man, I really appreciate that 🙂

[@DC-YTC]

Tekken 2 isn't it?

[@MPHswayze]

@@DC-YTC i never knew this!

[@adilator]

Wow, I never knew there were so many good games on the saturn I hadn't tried yet.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you found something new!

[@marcoalves9029]

kinda surprised Magic Knight Rayearth didn't get mentioned but there were quite a few games I didn't know of that caught my interest lol here's hoping Panzer Dragoon Saga gets a remake since the first game did get one, and a remake of the second game is supposedly still being worked on

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Including it for part 2 :)

[@AmyNumberSeven]

Good! That's what I came here for!@@thatvideogamesshow

[@raxelleon8189]

The good news is that recently Sega said in a press release that it would revive some of their dormant IPs, one of them will be Panzer Dragoon.

[@adam145]

Oh man Shining looks so unmistakably Camelot right from the first frame. It would look so amazing when redone in 3D. Honestly I'd rather play remakes of these than those AAA games that we wait 7 years to release.

[@adt636]

I think a lot of us feel that way. I'd be happy if they'd release a system for us old heads and redo all our old favorites.

[@ryansokolosky2680]

I'd pay so much money for a Shining Collection. A game that compiles all of the Shining Force/Darkness/Holy Arc etc games together.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll second that!

[@raxelleon8189]

I know what you mean, especially if it has all three parts of Shining Force 3.

[@phychmasher]

Don't forget Wisdom!

[@jjwhy321y3]

Holy Ark and SF 3 would literally cost hundreds to buy. I'm waiting to buy a retroid pocket 4, probably the cheapest way.

[@lucadipaolo1997]

@@jjwhy321y3 luckily I have a modchipped (incl. a keyswitch for US/JP disc switching) Saturn, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play half of the games I used to back in the day, let alone any games that I never played. Playing it on a CRT with an audio system is an irreplicable experience

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Deep Fear is one that always looked awesome. I'll need to snag a copy to play on my Polymega. Steamgear Mash is another that looks like a good time, and Burning Rangers is one that I NEED to play. The Saturn really had a good amount of bangers, and the ones highlighted here showcase that. Excellent list and video as always man!

[@AniFAE_Productions]

Speaking of Shining Force, I really enjoyed Shining Wisdom, a more Zelda-like spin off. Also Keio Flying Squadron 2 was great! Currently looking for a copy of Princess Crown next for the Saturn! Great vid! 😊

[@KaliU-ix2kf]

Shining Force Masterpiece

[@GhaleonEB]

Great list! I've added Deep Fear to my list of Saturn games to prowl for at the retro game stores. I recently replayed Dark Savior, Legend of Oasis and Panzer Dragoon Saga and they're all stellar (PDS is my all-time favorite game). One side note, Shining The Holy Ark is both a direct sequel to Shining in the Darkness on the Genesis (which it was it's a FPS dungeon crawl) and a prequel to Shining Force III, which has many of the same characters and it builds on the story. The US really got shafted in not getting all three parts of SFIII. :(

[@knight0fdragon]

It is not a sequel to Shining in the Darkness

[@dertbag3659]

Technically, Groove On Fight is stuck on BOTH the Saturn and STV Arcade. Going to need a future video with another STV title: Astra Superstars.

[@Tasuke]

Legend of Oasis looks pretty fun! Same with Linkle Liver Story. These action RPG adventure games are always fun and relaxing for me. One of my Facebook friends likes Dark Savior or at least I've seen her post about it before. Burning Rangers looks fun too! I may haveto add these games to my Sega Saturn dream list because it'll be a VERY long time before I get one lol!

[@Estorium]

Thanks for covering my favourite console of all time! The Saturn is an absolute gem of a console.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll second that!

[@JustLivinItUp85]

What about Astal? I don't think it was released on anything but Saturn, but it's absolutely gorgeous, especially for the time.

[@buckeyechad1]

Agreed❤

[@HollowRick]

What about dragon force 1 and 2?

[@moondoor9031]

There's some enemies in Resident Evil Revelations that looks a lot with those in Deep Fear. Coincidence that they both are enemies on a ship in the middle of the sea?

[@The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung]

I can kinda understand what SEGA is likely thinking with the Saturn and Dreamcast exclusives and better versions of games (Like Sonic Adventure). I imagine their pride is all "You had the chance, you didn't take it. And I'm not giving you another." It's the only reason I can think of that they'd either A. Let good games get lost to time or B. Hurt their own reputation by making worse versions (e.g. Adventure DX) the only way to play otherwise great games. That said, Sonic Jam is the Sonic Origins we should've had.

[@TheIllustriouBlueJay]

It may have a PS1 version, but the Saturn version of X-Men vs Street Fighter needs to be rereleased.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll second that!

[@LowKeyTired-q7d]

The Saturn passed me by. Mainly for financial reasons, and still being in high school

[@omegaweapon116]

I could've gotten one but the games were so much better on PS1 at the time and I had to choose one.

[@nodewizard]

"If you can find a copy on the cheap...". Super Saiyan Vegetta roar of laughter. Sega Saturn games are best tucked away in modern day emulators with powerful gaming PCs tearing these games to FPS thresholds the devs never dreamed of.

[@STAXONDECK1]

That a great list! I want a Saturn now

[@OENIGMA1]

You forgot to mention that most of these titles are JP.... But no biggie, really. Google is there, lol. Love your content, man.

[@MPHswayze]

[@Toxic3610]

Segatta Sanshiro, would be happy to see people still play the Sega Saturn!

[@SkillJim]

Awesome video dude! Some interesting titles in this I didn't even know about! :)

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks mate :) Glad you found something new!

[@goranisacson2502]

Legend of Oasis was a game I played back in my childhood, but unfortunately I wasn't skilled enough to get it's tricks, so I ended up just wandering aimlessly. How I wish I could easily replay it... much like Dark Savior, Shining Force and Mystaria. A part of me hopes Nintendo might start carrying Saturn titles for the NSO, but that might be hoping for a little too much- just like it may be too much to hope SEGA actually gives the aforementioned gamea remakes... Also a list like this without Guardian Heroes? A surprise, but that since one game IS available to everyone with an XBOX I guess I can let it pass.

[@AzzRushman]

I remember knowing about Burning Rangers thanks to Vip Aersia's playlist. Burning Angel was such a banger. It's always such a bittersweet sensation to find great assets lost in time.

[@stwenty5758]

I remember Shining the Holy Ark vividly back before my Saturn was sadly lost. It really is a great game, and I have lots of very fond memories.

[@nimaiiikun]

YES, some one finally mentioned Groove on Fight. that was one of the best 2d fighting games of the 90s

[@CasperEgas]

Great selection of games! Many that I also love. Didn't know Steam Gear yet.

[@HatsODoom]

Burning Rangers, Sega to this fucking day STILL uses it in PSO2 in the form of items and music disks. Yet it's never come off the Saturn.

[@Des_Zee]

Another great video. I like how you showcase Saturn games no one else does.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

More to come!

[@theultimategamer95]

Shame Magic Knight Rayearth wasn't mentioned, like that game. Legend of Oasis looks fun tho, I'll play that soon.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Will have to include it in part 2 🙂

[@Estorium]

Legend of Oasis is a fantastic game. The previous game on the Genesis is also worth playing, but the Saturn version takes that blueprint and perfects it.

[@rtmsoundscapes]

Steamgear Mash reminded me a lot of Skeleton Crew on Amiga

[@MSorge13]

Deep Fear looks good! It’s fun to learn of survival-horror games I didn’t really know about. 🙂

[@matxiv]

An underrated console; shame it was so expensive!

[@father042]

lol I knew Deep Fear would be on the list Why did you use music from Cold Fear though lol

[@AnotherAyushRaj]

This is a small list of Sega Saturn games I wish could have been on Dreamcast : Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dark Savior, Dragon Force 1 & 2 and yes I imported Deep Fear and like it👍

[@braddl9442]

I think a lot of these are hard to port cause they lost source codes for these games. This was back in the day when they would print it out and store it in a warehouse cause storage digitally was not the norm yet.

[@opaljk4835]

I’ve only heard this about panzer dragoon saga. Surely not every game from multiple developers were lost

[@johnmartinez-valentin5427]

Men I wish I had a sega Saturn when growing up

[@cireza_]

Great picks !

[@knightsabre2k]

Good Lord!! The old bucket western controller!! That thing alone was enough to put me off buying a sega saturn for many years!! An interesting topic though, as the bulk of the sega saturn library is technically stuck on the console as multiplatform releases were not so common back then and many are not re-released even years later. Saturn Bomberman, Shining Force 3, Vatlva, Bulk Slash, Magic knight Rayearth, Dragon Force 1 & 2... There are just so many! Burning Rangers is a mix for me. It's one of my favourite Saturn games due to its fast action and the fact that the levels randomise with each playthrough after you finish the game. Couple that with a large list of ppl to rescue and get messages from and you have a game that will last you ages if you want to get everything. They even put Sonic, Claris & Elliot from Nights into dreams in there as well as the devs! But there is no doubt that the game pushed the saturn to its knees and the game barely runs. If anything happens on screen, the framerate tanks & controlling your character becomes a challenge in and of itself. Still, I found hours of fun in the game in spite of itself so that says a lot about the design.

[@diegodias1998]

Man, these lists is why I'm leaning more into retro gaming instead of modern gaming these days, so many gems I never even knew existed.

[@viniciusrufino895]

Is so cool when some company has a artstyle so unique that you can reconize it at first glipse: Shining The Holy Ark is a Camelot game?? Or maybe the same artistis... The Golden Sun vibe is definely there!!!

[@christophermiller1394]

Played Beyond Oasis and Legend of Oasis. They gave me Blood Omen and Symphony of Knight vibes for sure.

[@neovcgl]

I'm definitely going to play Legend of Oasis, thank you!

Legend of a Oasis is the one I want to play most

Death Tank Zwei needs to be remade to be put on the PC with some more/better options (but keep the graphics) and netplay. Would be a hit.

[@alexi111]

I missed this generation (grew up with the PS2) but burning rangers looks sick!

[@agiekasaputro5884]

The game shown is Deep Fear, but the music played is from Cold Fear. That's confusing 🤭🤭🤭

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Good ear!

[@moondoor9031]

I think it will reach a point that since the IP owners and major companies don't put their old games legally to purchase in a digital plataform these games will be forgotten completely. Nodoby can do anything because of the copyright and the companies don't do anything because they don't feel like it. It's a no win situation...

[@samtepal3892]

Please do a similar episode on 3DO. I hate how that console is just written off as nothing but a failed console. When it has some great and weird experimental library of games. Doctor Hauezer, Escape from monster manor, NOB, Oukoku no grand chef, Kurokishi no kamen, and The Life Stage: Virtual World, are all great games that i believe deserve their late respects.

[@markkilborn512]

I think you mean "stuck on Steam Deck, MiSTer, PC." But yeah, would be nice to see some of these officially released again.

I hate how to this day Phantasy Star Online games keeps getting quests based on Burning Rangers, but they never rerelease the damn game on modern platforms xD

[@buckeyechad1]

Love your vid as usual. I still think the 3D capabilities get a bad rep. Powerslave, for instance, was way better visually on Saturn than PS. Depended on programmers. Transparencies were better on PS, yes, Tomb Raider and Castlevania SotN being good examples. But just a shame Saturn didn't succeed 'cause 3D wise, Saturn didn't have that weird shimmer thing that the PS had. Saturn could have been the best 2D system ever and probably is. What a shame Sega just screwed up with the 32X. Instead of putting that $ into Saturn. Still, imo, Saturn games in the whole hold up now visually more than 90% of PS games.

I gotta copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga sitting in my closet. Hate the controls and was boring to me as a modern gamer. Probably sell it whenever I feel like it. I’d rather emulate it than deal with setting up my OSSC, Saturn, dealing with 4 cds….

[@thetickingman]

Different strokes! I first played it in 2016 without any nostalgia for it and it's now in my top 10. Fuzzy graphics for sure but I particularly loved the music, story (refreshingly concise compared to most JRPGs), combat, and visual design. I was also impressed by how arty it was for a 1998 game; it reminded me of stuff like Ico and Nier.
