After this thread I played my import Saturn. Popped in this game below. There's a PS1 version but I preferred the Sega one:
We have discussed why Dreamcast failed; why did SEGA SATURN fail?

I was always a Sega loyalist back then, had a game gear and a genesis and before that the og Nintendo system.. I remember the Saturn coming with three free games, that was the deal breaker for me.. All my friends ended up copping playstations though, I remember going to their houses to play that shyt more than I did my own Saturn
Didn't even know half of all the info in this thread, I always wondered what happened with Sega cuz I feel like they got it right with the Dreamcast

You're right bruh. The PS2 was hanging in the background when the Dreamcast was released & it had a hype machine behind it. Not to mention the DVD gimmick they were pushing. If you compare both systems launch titles & the first 2 years Sega had the better games. I wish the Dreamcast had a longer lifespan just to see how far developers could push the hardware in the games they made. PS2 had some graphically nice games; especially towards to the end.
Nights was awesome
Basically every reason listed in this thread. It was the perfect storm.
There was also smaller stuff, like "Tomb Raider" looking/playing like shyt on the Saturn, when that was supposed to be the lead platform for it.
I copped a Saturn mostly for the 2D fighters. I was an arcade head back in the day, so a home console with perfect ports was
to me.
Plus they had some good games on it. A lot of good games.

Unc: which one is better
Clerk: NBA live sir, this game set the standard for all basketball games
Unc:well how much do they cost
Clerk: 49.99 for nba live, 29.99 for NBA action
Unc: NBA Action it is. *unc thinks of the dime bag he can get for the extra 20 he saves

I had a Saturn. I kept all my games too. They are worth a shytload. Panzer dragoon saga
I thought the failure of Sega Saturn was because a lot of the games were arcade based, and arcade wasn't selling anymore. Sega Saturn had online features that weren't executed properly until dreamcast.

i loved(and owned), both of those systems, but all they did was prove hardware isn't shyt if you don't have the software to back it up.
i can actually remember getting the saturn when it came bundled w/ 3 games and one of them was virtua fighter(probably 2), and maybe even virtua cop? i remember playing the hell out of a magic and kareem basketball game. most people are just speculating off of what they have seen talked about on the internet honestly...
