You can play japanese games on a US Saturn no problem if you modchip it or use pseudosaturn. Not sure about EU since it's PAL.

No, what a retarded question considering there are Saturn appreciation threads here constantly.

Yes. Too hard to program for, each unit sold was a loss for Sega, third-party companies leaving in droves for Sony, terrible at handling 3D, and only pushed a meager 10 million units worldwide in its pathetic 4 year lifespan, something the Dreamcast managed to do in half that time.

The Saturn killed Sega. Fuck that piece of shit and anyone who likes it.

No, it was worse.

Imagine if Sony released a $1200 PS5 just six months after the latest PS4 upgrade, and have it be three times weaker than the competing Xbox.

And the 32x and the cd, fuck them too. You'd think Sony would have learned from Sega and not have made ps3 hard to program for.

a gameshark or action replay works too.

it wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't handled well in the US. Most of the better titles weren't released outside of Japan, and only ocasionally reached EU.

PS2 wasn't very easy to program for either, but it had enough hype and success to make the industry bend to its unusual hardware
I thought it was funny how Microsoft built such an appealing platform with Xbox 360 only to go full PS3 launch with Xbox One

I thought Xbox one was a sick joke on Microsoft's behalf, but then a coworker was excited, and then my friends bought into it. At the very least the E3 backlash upended the always on DRM. Truth be told I probably wouldn't mind that shit if there was broadband everywhere cheaply but I'm just getting to be so bitter with current gaming trends. For every one of me refusing to get in on microtransactions there's easily a dozen bumping up the player base for free to play video games. Slowly but surely I'm going to be flanked on all sides by people on a grind. I just want to be dead and in the grave already by now. WTF is there to live for if I can't enjoy life.

They went on damage control right after E3 and it looks like they managed to recover ok. Idk for sure, don't have a current-gen system
