I used to defend this console a lot as a teenager but now I'm an adult honestly I find a lot of its best games are kind of shitty. I think Nights, all the PDs, and burning rangers are all deeply flawed games. Which is frustrating, since they could have been heaps better had Sega actually fucking play tested their games instead of the dev teams doing it themselves, internally.

For example, in Nights, every single object should have its hitbox doubled in size. I mean it, doubled. Some of the acrobatics the player is forced to do in that game to keep links going are fucking ridiculously finnicky, and I think double sized hitboxes would go a long way in fixing that. The second big change the game needed was freer movement during drill dashes, not even substantially so, just make movement 10 or 20% faster and that alone would be a big improvement. Also, slow down all enemies, and make it so dashing into the ideya capture shatters it, instead of temporarily slowing Nights down and potentially ending any chain in progress. There, just tweak some of the item placement to allow for infinite chaining and now Nights is a 10/10.

The biggest problem the first two PD games have is that there are really long stretches with no enemies, completely interrupting the flow of combat. So first thing to do is fill these gaps with enemies to kill. The second problem is that they're really mechanically simple games. Only two attacks, and in the second one there's also the berserk attack. Seriously, borrow a page from PDS and Star Fox and give the dragon some more attacks. Give it giant enemy clearing bombs, give it fire breath, give it temporary invincibility. These games could really afford to be spiced up some.

Eh I'm bored now later.

It's crazy how much better the Saturn is compared to the N64. Time has been so kind to the Saturn while the N64 writhes with its terrible library. We were all mistaken to not embrace the Saturn back in the 90s. If we could turn back time, liberate us from this cinematic hell hole the N64 has brought to us, deliver us to 60fps games as the standard, we would all do it in a second.

As someone who actually owned one as a kid and who has spent some time with the library you are correct. this thing sucked fucking ass.

The BEST game on the system, Panzer Dragoon Zwei, is far worse than Starfox 64 was. Same exact fucking genre, similar game, Starfox plays a million times better. I still love Panzer Dragoon Zwei and think it's a pretty good and memorable action game but it's outright inferior.
Burning Rangers is actually really fun and unique and deserves a sequel.
Panzer Dragoon Saga is honestly not that good. The rarity and price of the game are more interesting than the game itself.

And dear god, the most famous game on the system is fucking Nights. Fucking Nights? This game is terrible. Absolutely terrible. Imagine a console whose library is so shit the flagship title is fucking Nights.

WHAT ABOUT MARIO????" For far too long, everyone merely rolled their eyes and pretended to care, sure SNES, you're relevant too, sure N64, you've got games, whilst knowing deep down that Nintendo shit was laughable and pitifully inferior, but now the charade is up. We're tired of pretending and maintaining this myth that Nintendo was ever good. The N64 was an absolute joke and should be ignored like the other joke consoles of that generation.

I'll bite; There's no obligation to hit enemies really, they are effectively obstacles that influence the A-Life system and that's it. Enlarging hitboxes would make practicing and beating the game less satisfying by extension, in which case you may as well just have the ideya palace, blue chips and ideya capture in a straight line and forgo having enemies altogether (or just watch a playthough online). Raising boost turning speed would only be useful if you want to traverse a course entirely by dashing. Acrobatics address the boost's slower turning by allowing your motion to be redirected with a button combo. If you absolutely do not care to learn and practice the acrobatics, just let go of boost for a second and point yourself in your desired direction; You can still beat the game without boosting the entire time. Ideya captures should only be shattered when you've finished your initial chain and are ready to begin your bonus chains which are worth far more. Flying over the ideya palace can allow for more chains if you really want to get a crazy score and improve your rank. Considering this is a timed game, tweaking item placement for infinite chaining ultimately misses the purpose of the point system. The game has a defined "best route" already, the gameplay comes from exploring the space to determine which route is fastest/most valuable and refining your flight path to make it as efficient as possible. This gameplay design is ultimately for replayability, but I suppose because there's no online leaderboard the gameplay becomes worthless for someone that just wants to experience the content without earning the winstates through practice.

As for PD, the reason for "long stretches with no enemies" is because of ambiance. If something visually interesting isn't happening, you can bet there's enemies to attack. Later levels are super punishing and have far fewer moments of dead air, so again this really just screams of "I only care to play though once".

Agreed. Especially considering 3D platformers completely died in the following generation, and there have been so few games that follow in the footsteps of OoT that the ones that do get made are called Zelda clones. They don't even have a name for the genre because of how few games there are.

No first person shooter games ever really borrowed from Goldeneye or Perfect Dark either. Instead, later FPS on consoles stem from Halo (though started as a Mac game, essentially came from PC lineage) and Call of Duty, an actual PC game. Multiplayer FPS ignored Goldeneye and primarily looked to Counterstrike as their inspiration.

In every respect, the N64 was an evolutionary dead end for video games. None of the genres, ideas and games it introduced survived into the next generations of consoles. If you measure the N64 objectively, by the actual influence its games had, then it was a failure.

No such thing as a 3DSHMUP

You're constantly moving into the screen shooting things and can move a ship/person/whatever around. Hence, it's a 3D shmup. The genre is mistakenly referred to as Rail Shooters, but those are actually lightgun games like Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, etc.

Those would be the key hipster meme ones. But you can't even pretend to have even touched on Saturn "gaming history" without playing some weebshit, even if it's just some soft core puzzle games that don't require not being an EOP. There are also some legit good Saturn exclusives that you should play,
Clockwork Knight, Mr Bones, Bulk Slash, Astal, off the top of my head.

Don't listen to the stupid fag above. Clockwork Knight is mediocre and Mr Bones is fucking awful - a very poorly rated game at the time and it will remain shit no matter what year we're in. Although, Astal is good. Also:

Guardian Heroes, Exhumed ("Powerslave" in the US), Radiant Silvergun, Thunder Force V, Die Hard Arcade, Saturn Bomberman (amazing with friends), Last Bronx, Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers Revenge, Vampire Saviour, Virtua Cop 1 and 2 (but it's not the same without a light gun), Dark Savior, Virtua Fighter 2, Keio Flying Squadron 2 (AKA Keiō Yūgekitai: Katsugeki-hen), Sega Rally Championship, Three Dirty Dwarves, Burning Rangers, Cho Aniki: Kyuukyoku Otoko no Gyakushuu (fucking mental), Dead or Alive (arcade accurate, unlike the PSX version), Game Tengoku: The Game Paradise!, Gunbird, Darius Gaiden, Shining Force III,
King of Fighters 95/96 and 97, Real Bout Garou Densetsu Special, Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3, X-Men: Children of the Atom, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix (Sega did a Smash Bros type game first), Pocket Fighter, Sexy Parodius, And obviously Panzen Dragoon 1, 2 and Saga (2 is best). Duke Nukem 3D is also great on Saturn (best console version or that era).

Some of the fighters are also on PSX but they're inferior versions with missing animation frames. If you're doing emulation i'd recommend Retro Arch with the Beetle Saturn core, or alternatively Mednafen (Beetle is based on this) as it's the only good Saturn emulator.

It's odd to write something like this while mentioning King of Fighters in the same sentence.

Thanks a bunch. I've managed to setup Saturn RetroArch pretty easily and even found a giant collection of games on rutracker. Really nice to see that there is a bunch fighting games and arcades available on the system.

[Anonymous No.7296776]

>>7296756
I think it's great to appreciate the Saturn library for what it is, especially on real hardware, but if you're just going to emulate these arcade ports, why not just emulate the arcade versions?

I mean, not only is every arcade version better (even the Capcom fighters that are nearly perfect, have a good chunk of their real resolution cut off and the sprites appear stretched and fat), the actual emulation for the arcade systems is better and has more options.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Saturn, but it really only has a benefit when someone has a need to play on a real piece of hardware, preferably hooked up to a CRT of any kind.

I've meant that in a general sense. Like "it's great that Saturn as a console had a lot of arcade ports of good games available in its lifecycle"

[Anonymous No.7296991]

>>7296509
>almost every one of those has been ported or originates from a better console

Here's a fantastic Saturn exclusive typical of the library:

>i got filtered by mr bones
>i play inferior ports which I call arcade accurate
lol. If you're going to emulate arcade games you do better to emulate the original arcade versions dingus. No Saturn ports are "arcade accurate", whatever the fuck you imagine that's supposed to mean.
Fighters Megamix isn't a "Smash Bros type game" and isn't the first fightan game to have characters from other games.
But I if you filtered all that shit out you'd be left with a few decent games that are exclusive or not better on another platforms. It's a shame you mixed those up with all the other shit.
