I would think long and hard about this before you get rid of them. Very rarely have I let anything go and not regretted it afterward--not necessarily right away, but eventually.
I'm definitely not going to toss any game I'd still want to play, but it's getting to the point where I just see a lot of stuff on my wall that serves no purpose other than taking up space. There's never going to be a day where I feel like busting out these arcade ports that have been done better on other platforms since then, and there are some franchises where I just don't have a need for owning more than one entry. (ex: Every single time I've ever started to play a Megaman X game, it's left me wishing that I was playing Megaman 9 instead, without fail, within only a few minutes of playing. And I'm beginning to feel like I don't need to own Panzer Dragoon Saga or any other Saturn RPGs as long as I have Dragon Force.)
Exactly.
You and Irish talking about making a thread about this month's YotS's theme? If I was supposed to do it I wasn't even aware of it. D:
If yes, well, I could help someone making a thread by providing screenshots of X games via SSF to have clear shots (if I have those in my stuff.). Not sure about making the thread itself though, I like putting hours making banners and stuff, even if they end up looking cheap most of the time, especially now since GAF's colors have changed, heh. I don't have much time to do it during this week though, the more we wait the more days are getting skipped for people to notice the YotS. So if someone is up, hit me up via PM if screenshots of X arcade game is needed. It'll be my pleasure to play those as well as I'll be taking the screenshots anyway! We're almost the 5th already so it needs to get done ASAP.
I may not answer tonight though, I'm going to bed. Good night!
EDIT: Here's two pics of my US/JAP collections I just took so you could know which titles I could try to take some pics with SSF, Tekno. Let me know if you're making the thread.
Great stuff, Seik!
The three games packed-in with many Saturns, pretty much: Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop, Daytona USA. That's my understanding.
Astal is indeed the only Saturn game (that I know of) with a bare spine. I have no idea why they forgot it, intentionally or otherwise.
I was rummaging through some games to test on my capture equipment not long ago and it turned out that VF2 is one of the only ones from that era that used real 480i for gameplay instead of 240p. No wonder it looked so much more detailed than its contemporaries.
The title screen in particular seems extraordinarily high resolution. At one point I wondered what to do with Saturn games like VF2 and Daytona USA now that there are superior conversions available on XBLA. The answer I found is fairly simple - play and enjoy them.
I don't think so but I'd have to double-check and even then it's not a clear-cut case when you're dealing with real interlaced content. 30 interlaced frames per second is still 60 fields per second.
*throws disc into fireplace
No, 57.5 is the arcade version. VF2 on Saturn is 60.
it's only like one money
Good price, you lucky.
Kids and Remix were the only VF games built on the STV arcade hardware, which is essentially a Saturn itself. This means that the two Saturn ports should be very similar to their arcade versions - of note, however, is that STV games came on carts instead of discs, so the Saturn versions likely have more loading time.
I bought the JP version some time ago, and I regret it. Instructional dialogue seems to be pretty frequent.
Just skip it
As you should!
I don't feel the need to elaborate because I think I pick on Burning Rangers every two pages, but imo the game isn't worth more than $30. It's not bad, but there are shmups more deserving of its price tag.
It's doable. There are translated patches around (look them up on Shining Force Central), you can burn your patched Saturn disc to an ISO and mount it using an emulator, or burn it to a CD-R and use the disc swapping trick on a model 1 Saturn. If you have a modded Saturn, most likely a model 2 if that's the case, you just put the patched disc in, probably the most ideal case but I don't have a modded Saturn myself...
I didn't want to continue on emulators because I had transferred my saves from scenario 1 and 2, and didn't want to lose them, but I never finished scenario 3 so it's not much better. I might just restart the whole trilogy on emulator one day and save me the headache. I'd recommend you do that if you're ok playing with emulators.
