Seeing as there's already threads for the Mega Drive and the Dreamcast, I see no reason why there shouldn't be one for SEGA's most underrated console, the Saturn.
An excellent console with an unfortunate fate in the west as a lot of its games in its library remained in Japan.
Now that emulation has made considerable progress and some translation projects are have finally gotten completed such as the ones for Sakura Taisen and Wachenröder, there hasn't been a better time to experience the Saturn than today.
Some of my favourite Saturn games include Princess Crown, NiGHTS Into Dreams, Groove on Fight, Metal Slug and Puyo Puyo Sun (they might not all be exclusives but they're still a great addition).
Feel free to post about the games you've played/planning to play, fun facts or any question you might have about the Saturn!

RIP Segata sama ;_;

I've been wanting to play DebiSama for the last 10 years but I still haven't mastered the arcane runes. I really liked hunting demons in an urban setting in Soul Hackers, it kind of provides a tension between the known and the unkown that you don't find in the post apocolyptic settings of mainline SMT games.

I've been itching to play Grandia for the first time on the Saturn, since I heard that version is better than the PSX one. I know that there's an HD remaster on Steam but the graphics seem a bit off in comparison, like the textures are blurry. The pixelated look seems to just work better in my opinion.

Didn't Soul Hackers get a localised 3DS port?

Yeah but I prefer the style of the original. They made some changes to the art and sped up animations but in these early CD games the slow motion adds to the atmosphere. The way that the animations float lazily around the screen and the bizarre sound effects is quite mesmorising.

A fan-translation of Sakura Taisen 2 was recently announced to be in the works and the team released a translation of the demo disc.

It's still in a very early WIP though.
