Castlevania SOTN
surely the one i have played the most on emulation

i like that there's actually extra stuff in it that wasn't in the PlayStation version.

The PlayStation version should've had an updated rerelease with the Saturn content included.

yeah if Resident Evil could get a Director's Cut, why not Castlevania?

Supposedly Koji Igarashi hated the Saturn version of SOTN, or so I've heard. We got a "director's cut" here, which included a different version of Maria as a playable character than the Saturn version

I mainly used the Saturn for all the amazing Capcom and SNK fighting games ports and also the great library of shmups it has.
But if we talk about "exclusives" probably Princess Crown, Sakura Wars and Shinobi Legions.

Sega Rally and Virtua Fighter 2 are both fantastic achievements on the Saturn.

 

[Questless Knight]

my favorite Saturn games.
Magic Knight Rayearth
Albert Odyssey - Legend of Eldean
Sega Rally Championship

I'd say that all my favorite Sega Saturn games tend to be fighting games; the Saturn was amazing for all sorts of fighters! But my favorite fighting game on the console, I would say, is "D-Xhird."

 

[Onionstarz]

Sega Rally or Manx TT

 

[TinRattler]

Daytona USA

 

[bcdusk]

Panzer Dragoon seems to be the most popular overall, doesn't help the 2020 remake is not considered good do people prefer to ho back to the saturn version.

Yes there is a PC port but is quite old so it doesn't run well on modern versions of Windows.

 

[DreamCPS]

Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Radiant Silvergun.

 

[Turbo Kid]

Dynamite Deka - Fun once you get good at it but pretty frustrating at first in true arcade fasion

 

[Badseed Badseed]

How can anyone not mention the height of RPG brilliance...

Virtual Hydlide

Really, the Saturn is a boon for fighting games, arcade games of all genres, 2D platformers, 3D racing games, and shumps of all sorts.

Criminal that nobody has yet mentioned Saturn Bomberman though.

An incredibly charming Saturn exclusive that’s probably still the best Bomberman game ever made. Full story mode with co-op, a challenge mode of 100 floors, and an up to 10 player battle mode. It’s freaking nuts!

Also, as it says on the box, it had online multiplayer. In 1997. What the heck, dude.
