The Sega Saturn (self.games)

The Saturn is probably one of the most jaded consoles I come across, on one hand I like some of the japan only games, but on the other, most multiplat games were better on the PS1.

Another thing I realised recently when researching about this console is that it didn't really have a "killer app" sonic game that'd show off the capabilities.

What happened here? Did Sega leave development time too short on to refine some things about the console? Apparently it was difficult to code due to having 2 processors

Let me know your thoughts!

I played Panzer Dragoon and Mystaria at my friends house and was so jealous of the Sega Saturn.

This was the summer before the PS1 was released so ALL of what the Saturn had was a “killer app” as far as my 10 year old brain was concerned.
