We have discussed why Dreamcast failed; why did SEGA SATURN fail?

[Knicksman20]

Radiant silvergun is the hardest shooting game ever created.

I agree! You ever play Ikaruga? That one is a spiritual successor to Radiant & is almost as hard

 

[Knicksman20]

The Saturn also had 8 processors in it which made it difficult to make games for. When the games were made properly by developers they looked great on the console. Guardian Heroes, Nights in to Dreams, House of the Dead & many others were great for the time. Even the DBZ import games which never made it to the US were superior to the PS1 games

Always wondered why Live never made it to Saturn

huh? i have nba live 97 on sega saturn the one with mitch richmond on the cover. It made it alright

i still remember the 3 game launch bundle it came with Dayton, Virtual Fighter, and Time Crisis

It mainly failed because sega didn't support it like it should and genesis was still getting tick so people didn't need to switch over

I think you mean virtual cop, I always wished Sega would of continued the series.

My pops got me a Saturn for that Christmas. Though it wasn't tremendously successful I thought it had a good amount of games I think the system would of had more success with better planning.

By the time my parents were ready to buy me a new system, playstion was already out and cheaper with better games

 

[NormanConnors]

copped the Saturn day one (former sega stan here though) and loved it. i assumed it was due to the sega cd flop. Sega was always the first to drop shyt/trendset (and rush imo), and really never sat back and waited to see what the field was going to do and adjust from there.

on a sidenote sega was killing it in Japan though

why did my Uncle lie to me? this niqqa has never lied to before in my life to the point I never even check to see if he was wrong. I just assumed Live was on Saturn just because it was on Genesis. So when he brought me Nba Action. He specifically said they ain't make it for Saturn, this is the only hoops game. And I just believed him. I'm gon write this mofo a strongly worded "Fuk You" to state prison. So for 18 years I just assumed it was not on Saturn. I have to find out on a damn Forum. That promo sucked for this game. I never ever ran across a ad for 18 years. Are u fukin Kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, man, they had a lot of good shyt on dreamcast. same with saturn, i use to get down on some cyberspeed way, world series baseball, sega rally, virtua fighter, daytona usa

 

[the next guy]

Looking back I just look like a dumb azz 16yr old for begging my moms for a early Xmas present I just saw what happen to my Saturn after like 2 years on top of the other crap I didn't get (32x sega cd). But yet I wanted this bull. I never forgave sega for Dreamcast. I vowed never to buy anything Sega related @ having my mom spend over a thousand dollars Sega's buiishyt

Damn b. And the fact they drop support like every 3 years too.

 

[Jone2three45]

I remember summer of 1995 playing Street Fighter Alpha 1 & 2 on the Sega Saturn. That shyt looked so crisped
