Message: [QUOTE="Parasite_Steve, post: 8378, member: 5378"] The Saturn had quite an impressive library in its home country, but alas only there. It did quite poorly outside of Japan and a lot of that boiled down to terrible business decisions. I don't actually know a single person who had one in the 90s and the only reason I knew it even existed back then was a brief mention of a special version of Battle Arena Toshinden that was built specifically for it, in a playstation magazine special on fighting games in 98. Having said that, here are some of my personal favorites: [B]Radiant Silvergun[/B]. Hands down one of the most creative shmups on any system. I don't regret horribly overpaying for it back in 2009 at Super Potato. [B]Layer Section[/B]. Where RS trumps with complexity Layer Section/Galactic Attack focuses on simplicity. One of the fairest shmups on the system. The excellent 2D graphics and soundtrack will make you come back for more even if you suck at it. [B]Wachenröder[/B]. A fairly linear but beautifully atmospheric tactical rpg. There's a fan translation iirc. Gameplay wise it's pretty standard fare but I love spending time in the game's dark, melancholic but oddly calming steampunk world. Bonus points for the lovely miniatures in the intro. [B]Panzer Dragoon[/B] series. On aesthetics alone an absolute masterpiece. Thankfully fun to play too. As much as I was and still am a playstation kid these games would definitely have made me turn my head back then. [B]Virtua Fighter 2[/B]. Feels almost too obvious to mention but it's a milestone in the fighting game genre that was followed by many imitators. As much as I love Tekken and consider it ultimately the better series, there's no denying it wouldn't exist without the continuing innovations of the virtua fighter games. [B]Nights into dreams/christmas nights[/B]. One of the more famous unique titles on the system, It's not for everyone but I love it personally [B]Shinobi X[/B]. Not the strongest entry in the Shinobi saga but better than its reputation. The gameplay is fun (if a step down from Shinobi 3) the soundtrack is atmospheric and the mortal kombat style digitized actors combined with low budget live action cutscenes make for a beautiful cheese fest.
