NA Saturn launched with Virtua Fighter, Daytona, and Panzer Dragoon. It's one of the best ever imo.
VF3 rules, but Dreamcast Japan.

PS3 japan version is actually the best port of D&D, graphic customisation, 4p options.
Garegga won't have a physical release so from a collector's point of view the Saturn port is still a worth
And nothing else for three, four months.
The N64 launched with two games yet Nintendo and a third party was able to release at least one game each month for the remainder of 1996.
No way Jose! XB1 launched with a COD, an Assassin's Creed, all the EA Sports and 2K Sports titles, and Forza on day one and they consistently released new games each week afterwards. Just that people were still pissed at MS' DRM hijinks to care and were waiting on new PS4 console shipments.
Yup, seems that way. I guess thats the same thing with Radiant, Ikaruga, Guardian and the 360 ports.
I need to learn how to play VF2 and Fighters Megamix properly. Im used to stuff like Soul Edge/Calibur and Tekken where you can seemingly string everything together.
What character do you want to use?

but that posted asked about launch, not "launch window"
I started Magic Knight Rayearth last night.
I was never big in to RPGs, but the Working Designs stuff always intrigued me growing up.
So far, so good! It's real early, but I'm enjoying the voice acting and the amount of recorded dialogue. Looks great on the OSSC (with the exception of the FMV, lol.)

Any particular reason due to the OSSC, or is it just because they're Cinepak grainstorms?
Nah it's not the OSSC's fault, it's just the compression of video in to a 12x12 grid of pixels.

Yep, as much as you want nearest neighbour in your games to keep those pixels crisp, digitised video needs its fancy interpolation. Else it becomes an unwatchable blocky mess.
I'm guessing if the Saturn launched normally it'd have Astal, Bug, VF Remix, and a few 3rd party games as launch titles.
I tend to jump around, especially with crossovers. But VF 2 (and 3 by extention) Jacky, Akira, and Kage.
Fighters Megamix...well I havent unlocked everyone again yet, but about the same here, but including Bahn, and Raxel so far.
Edit: I think im sorta getting the hang of Akira. The Virtua games are more of a deliberate fighting series if that makes any sense?
You're onto it. There aren't blockstrings like in other games - you do your move, if it's blocked, your "turn" is over. Then you choose a defensive option. If you do your move and It hits your opponent, it's still your turn so you can attack again. People call it a turn based fighter because of this.
Personally i find Jacky very fun to play in VF2.
Why would you even want to use anyone else, after all?
Haha, I guessed so.Nah it's not the OSSC's fault, it's just the compression of video in to a 12x12 grid of pixels.

oh man, no idea. Akira would probably be S tier in VF2 at least until a few years ago when the 2P/low throw option select was uncovered.
And maybe even after that he's still S tier. dude is a monster lol
Still not kicking him back to momma faster than lightning, though.
Since we were talking about the Saturn launch, I decided to look up the PS1 launch in comparison:
Battle Arena Toshinden
ESPN Extreme Games
Kileak: The DNA Imperative
NBA Jam Tournament Edition
Power Serve 3D Tennis
The Raiden Project
Rayman
Ridge Racer
Street Fighter: The Movie
Total Eclipse Turbo
Kinda underwhelming to be honest. Could have sworn Mortal Kombat 3 was a launch title.

WipEout was a launch title for EU and the US I believe. It crushes any RR and Daytona imo. Eight tracks, lightning fast, varied and incredible graphics and the british club music ost crushes the almost comic Japanese RR "techno" music or the singing Daytona one (yeah I know it's a legend, but it's not a good soundtrack).

I just went into the Wikipedia page mind you! It stated WipEout was on launch in the US, but I'm actually doubting a bit now. It definitely was on launch in Europe though!
Cool you asked, I recently got a CRT screen and gave the WipEout a go on PS1 and Saturn. Both WipEout 1 and 2097 (XL in the US) suffer from lower framerate. Especially 2097 is very apparent that it runs closer to 20 fps. WipEout 1 is a slightly better conversion, but I'd still recommend the PS1 titles (they just feel smoother), plus you can play them with the awesome NegCon.
Some Saturn pluses though:
-WipEout 1 has new crash physics, making it more forgiving and ruthless than the PS1 version, though it's nothing like the superior and remade crash physics that 2097 and WipEout 3 has.
-WipEout 2097 has longer draw distance than the PS1 version, though one can wonder why with that low framerate.
Both have some extra or different songs for their soundtracks.

I feel your pain (and am continuing to feel it).
Sad to hear this, but real life is after all more important than games. Hope the money will help you out, and that you will some day be in a position to get the collection back!

Man, the texturing in this game is so perfect. It still looks gorgeous.
This hurts to read. I agree post it here you may get some help from this thread
My condolences for your loss.
Retro Core has uploaded their Sega Saturn feature btw!

You can get some graphics corruption with an Action Replay, but it's playable.

It depends on the action replay that you have. If you have the Action Replay 4 in 1 + it should work. It's been awhile but I'm like 90% certain that's what the plus did, or maybe you need to do a hardware mod on the plus and then it'll work.
'95 came with a ROM cart, that was unique to it. (Basically did the same job as the 1MB RAM cart, but came with the game-specific data on it already, and wasn't re-writable.)
