Well Sega clearly won the console war in this guys house:
One of the best posts Ive seen in a while!

Yes, that's how I played it. That said, I'm also working on a translation of the PC version.

Yes, literally. I printed it out, as many others did. It's a very easy game, and the guide makes choices a cinch. Just be prepared for when the LIPS choices appear, you don't get much time to react.

The Sakura Wars choice system. You have a very short period of time in which to decide a response or else the character assumes you're not saying anything.
When the steam runs out, you get glared at. It's also in So Long, My Love.

And the SG1000 IIWhat's it say in the lid?
It's giving me kind of a Mark III vibe, with a little speech right by where the games go.
That pre-release Saturn is classy as hell, I wish we'd gotten it too.
And the Master System's hilarious incorrect digram
And the Mega Drive
Sega just loved having english language nonsense on top of their Japanese consoles.
The diagram on the Master System is the best imo, really makes you wonder what they were thinking. Makes me so sad we dont have Sega in hardware anymore

This one is just gold. So if I follow it I'm supposed to:
1. Insert a cartridge
2. Insert a card
3. Power the MS on.
4. Insert controller 1
5. Insert controller 2
6. Connect to a TV

Reading through the manual for Street Racer Extra (well, not really reading, it's in Japanese), it looks like you can get a 10 player split screen going on via two multitaps. That sounds crazy and unplayable... that being said, has anyone here tried it?

You sure? Says 8 player on the back of the box. I've tried 8 player once with a group, but the Saturn version is kinda bad so everybody wanted to play more Saturn Bomberman instead after 1 go

Thought I saw 10, but I won't swear to it. I'll take a look tonight! Even 8 sounds unplayable.
I've got other pictures of the system. The I's are present.
It's so beautiful. ;_;
I wonder if anyone has tried to customize one?
Maybe we could persuade Rose Colored Gaming to try replicating this.
I love this nonsense! It adds some character, in a really odd sort of way.

So how much does S-Video improve the image over Composite when hooked up to an HDTV? My CRT doesn't have S-Video, but my HDTV does. I figure that Composite/CRT will still look better, but does S-Video/HD at least look decent?
Hell yeah it does...quite better than composite.

wow, I never knew Satakore SFZ1 had different art
Ah ah ah
At first I thought it was the Sakatore release of Pocket Fighter.
SVideo is so much better.

That's Zero 2, and it has different cover art because it's a different game - Zero 2 Dash, which was also released as part of Street Fighter Collection, so when they did the budget release they made it the upgraded dash version.wow, I never knew Satakore SFZ1 had different art

Street Fighter EX5.
Just without the brilliant OST and the greatness of Skullomania.
Too bad EX + Alpha skipped Saturn.

Karin is my favorite character, and I'm still not interested in V. People need to stop rewarding laziness.

Well, EX was made on Playstation hardware, developed by a second rate third party.
Just like Street Fighter 5...

what all did that change?

Basically some move changes, extra modes, some classic Street Fighter II versions of some characters, and Cammy.
Here's my Saturn Street Fighter Zero set:
And my 'full retard' Saturn Capcom fighters collection:

Huh in my height of collecting SF games I had not heard about this Saturn release of SFZ2Dash. Is it like most Saturn games now adays going for too much money?
One of these days I need to take a picture of my Saturn collection, it's a pretty healthy mix of US and Japanese games.

At any rate, what is the status of saturn emulation atm?
That 2nd one is very likely the updated ver of sfz2-
Sf alpha 2 gold aka sf zero 2 alpha p
Psone release of it came with a 2nd disc ft. The cps2 street fighter 2 games

SFZ2Dash is on Street Fighter Collection. Disc 1 is Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge (AKA Super Turbo in the NA release) and Disc 2 is SFA2Dash (AKA Alpha 2 Gold in the NA release)

Ahhh I have the SF Collection discs, would explain why I didn't chase after it then. Memory was failing me, it's been a long time since I was searching out that stuff.
SF V has more actual Capcom staff working on it than SF IV did, for what it's worth...
No Final Fight Revenge?

yeah, not sure what lies beyond "full" status, haha

Any reason why Sega Sonic the Hedgehog Arcade was never ported to the Saturn? Never even knew this existed.
D.Lo
Member
Forgot to add '2D'.
Shadow Hog

I imagine there not being much in the way of a good trackball controller was a factor in that never getting ported.
You mean the ones from 2004? You'll just have to wait for them to pop up on ebay or yahoo.
Related, does anyone know if it's possible for them to work on a PS3 to PS4/Xbox One/360 adaptor? I know they work on PS3 but I get the feeling they won't on those other consoles with an adaptor.
Damn, is that the only time they appeared? I have a pair and I love them, was hoping to get more..
Well it depends. Do you mean the ones that are exactly the same as the actual Saturn controller with a usb cable, or the white and blue ones with Club Sega on the middle?
