Classic Game Room HD - SEGA SATURN console review

Classic Game Room HD reviews the Sega Saturn video game console! Released in 1995 to the US market, this 1996 vintage Sega Saturn shows the pure solid construction and beauty of this underrated and nearly forgotten game console. Sega purists know about the Saturn of course, as well as the Master System, Dreamcast and Sega Genesis. But what about everyone else? This is the game system that has Panzer Dragoon and Darius Gaiden and Radiant Silvergun! The Sega Saturn has awesome controllers and plays games from Japan with a 4 in 1 converter and memory card. The Saturn has Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA! What happened to make the Saturn die off so soon when so much potential was left untapped. The Saturn is remembered by many as a SHMUP video game system with awesome 2D rendering and gameplay, perhaps that is its lasting shining legacy. Watch the Classic Game Room hardware review of the Sega Saturn game system with HD footage of the console in high definition. Play import shooters on the Sega Saturn with ease and all of the awesome Western releases, all being reviewed by CGRHD.

I just found one on Craigslist for 40 bucks, comes with 7 games, one of which being “Nights” and it comes with the “Nights” controller too. Like you, I never owned one when they came out. I’m pretty excited to get it.

Actually they made a “disc drive expansion” for the N64 that was a horrible horrible failure that never made it to the US. They go for like big bucks on ebay

oops, sorry, I …
oops, sorry, I worded that wrongly. I ment that they did kinda make a mistake but you answered it. Idk. Im kinda iffy on the Sega CD. On one side, it sucked. On the other side, It has the best Sonic game ever made. So its mostly 50/50 on that.

Oh, I’m well aware …
Oh, I’m well aware the original incarnation of the PlayStation and it’s history. But I don’t think Nintendo “screwed up” in abandoning their plans to make a CD-ROM addon for the SNES. In hindsight, looking at the damage the Sega CD did to Sega, it was actually a very wise move.

GamerX89X, June 29, 2009:

Actually, Nintendo …
Actually, Nintendo screwed up. Sony was trying to make a disc based addon for the SNES to compete with the Sega CD and Nintendo agreed. But halfway through production Nintendo didn’t want it anymore, forcing Sony to turn that into a stand alone console.

Got it for …
Got it for Christmas in 1995. Broke a few years later but just a week ago I found it at a local game shop for 50 bucks so I had to snag it. Daytona USA FTW!!!

vio2112, June 29, 2009:

I do, big time! I’m …
I do, big time! I’m with you 100%. Why did Sony have to come along and screw everything up? I realize a lot of the blame most go to Sega themselves for making some bad business decisions(*cough* Sega CD, 32X), but Sony really screwed up the dynamics of the video game business and the legendary rivarly between Nintendo and Sega.

Sega Genesis vs. SNES was the greatest console war ever IMO. I don’t think it will be topped.

Umm…wtf…Are all the hand movements really necessary? It’s kind of annoying having fingers pop in on the screen then disappear every few seconds…

Part 2

Xbox 720 …
Part 2

Xbox 720 Will be like the spectator of this fight.
The Dreamcast 2 will be played with your mind by a lightwieght helmet.
Wii 2 Will be able to play like the wii but you get a mini camera to place on tv to have more interaction.

The Xbox 720 Will be like the first, but Play Games from Sony Playstation 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, PSP, and Playstation 2. There will also be a hologram projctor for fighting games to fight hologram characters and alot more cool accesorys.

poolgirl7255, June 29, 2009:

My Prediction:
In …

My Prediction:
In 2011 There will be a Wii 2, Xbox 720, and The playstation has fallen.
But Sega will Rise with its Dreamcast 2!!!
Which will have 30 Launch titles and each rated atlease 8 out of 10 Rating Average. Nintendo and Sega will fight again.

OrdoMallius, June 29, 2009:

I would buy it.
I would buy it.

JerryTerrifying, June 29, 2009:

Shit even if he …
even if he liked ‘em those games are pricey as ! Especially PDS.

JerryTerrifying, June 29, 2009:

I found that deal …
I found that deal on craigslist…that place can really be a treasure trove if you keep an eye on it every day. I got a SNES wiht power cord, rf adapter, 2 controllers and 6 games(4 good ones) all for $25 not as good as that other deal but still nice.

And I bought a perfect brand new n64 controller for $10 and the buy threw in a beat up N64 with no power or AV cables and some paint on it but it works…so I’m gonna open it up and paint the case. Moral of the story: Craigslist=awesome.
