Saturn prices were always historically high but you might as well pray for revisions/remakes/reissues than this point.

Awesome video J! I own SFZ3 and it is truly an amazing port, it's such a shame it didn't come to North America. Hope to see a rarest and most expensive PCE hucard and CD video in the future. Keep up the great work!

Well, those 2D games that are ports to the Saturn are pretty much perfect comparing to the ports on PS1 where they usually had to cut off things. That might be another reason for the Saturn games to have higher prices.

Shienryu is a very good game imho; there is a PSX port too, but oddly it lacks the TATE video mode. There is also a western physical release of Garegga on PS4; it was a limited print from Strictly Limited Games and it came both in vanilla edition (the put the US PS Store version on a disc) and Premium edition (basically the black box japanese limited edition but with the disc of the western vanilla instead of a DL code).

That saturn version of liquid kids is the rarest game on that shelf.

Those prices are higher than ebay lolz...probably to lure the foreign visitors into wasting their precious cash xD I own the physical korean Battle Garegga for PS4 ^^ TRYRUSH DEPPY is a 2d platform starring an antropomorphic car :P

Since I got my fav shooter on Saturn as kid, Galactic Attack, only as an import version now to save money lol (Layer Section and LS II)- I wanted to get rest of SHMUPs I never played in youth, one my fav developer TechnoSoft of Thunder Force series made 2 EXCLUSIVE Saturn shmups I read. Hell yeah, I was ready to go to ebay and buy Hyper Duel and Blast Wind right away...and then I saw the prices (even in 2017 was fortune before pandemic hikes). Guess I'll have to settle for CD-R and PsuedoSat :-/ EDIT: I believe Stellar Assault was sequel to 32X mediocre game I have Shadow Squadron, unless I'm confusing similar sounding "generic" title
