I liked Duke Nukem.
Sega Saturn deserves more praises and love. It was the only way to enjoy those arcade games at home.
highwayblowout Or if you were really rich you could actually own the arcade machines
***** or a neo geo
Unless you were rich
Yep. But now, neo geo CD consoles are ranging between $150 and $300. So, maybe not so rich.
+RYLAES
SEGA SATAN SHIRO!
Some that were missed. Astal, Legend of Oasis, Shining the Holy Ark, Dragon Force, Shining Force 3, Dark Savior.
The Saturn kicked ass.
At least SFIII got thee HM ... really surprised the others you listed did not at least get a SS cameo! StHA, DF, & DS make up my personal Holy Trinity
3 Dirty Dwarfs
How the FUCK is Dragon Force not on here? No other game in history is like it, and you don't even give it an honorable mention??
Uuugh.
totally agree. awesome game. also Shining Holy Ark.
nick clark was waiting for someone to mention shining the holy ark, one of the best games I’ve ever played, dark saviour was also great
Wow! A Top 10 for a Sega console without a Sonic game. I am surprised.
Sonic Jam was a compilation, Sonic R was a mess and Sonic 3D Blast downright sucks.
DragONheart27X still never stopped me from playing them when i was a kid
chentemccloud
yeah haha Sonic R was a guilty pleasure from the lone fact that it is Sonic in 3D, even Jam's 3D sections were cool the one that I didn't like was 3D Blast, I hated that isometric camera
DragONheart27X A mess is kind of an understatement.
yeah it was bad but i used to love the music in 3d blast, although i never got pasted the first 2 levels :P
Shining the holy Ark, Virtua On, Ultimate MK3 and Tomb Raider ( It was released on Saturn before PlayStation).
aaah sega saturn. i remember buying one. going in, expecting nothing, popping in sega rally and i was pleasantly suprised. maybe it wasn't playstation but aside from that i was suprised how good this console was. kept buying the games i could get at a store in the city. Vf2 wich blew me away graphically, nights into dreams made me go on to say that the saturn could do what psx could, fighting vipers, etc etc the capcom games. what a console. one of the top 3 sega consoles.
I love your list! The one game you mention was the only reason why I wanted a Saturn instead of a N64 at the time was Die Hard Arcade! I still play that game and it never gets old to me!
Now that I look at it, Nights into Dreams totally reminds me of Mario Galaxy's flight mechanics, they even share the spin when launching!
@Kaki Molis I'd argue Tekken did enough to make itself different from Virtua Fighter, especially with Tekken 3

i still own panzer dragoon 1 and 2
Why no Robo Pit?
NO Alien trilogy ?
Frank Hughes A game you couldn't jump over 1 foot obstacles and with thousands of invisible walls... I don't think so.
Top 10 games popularized through youtube?
Those games look amazing! I never played that game console, but it looks like it would be really fun.
This was really cool to watch because I never owned a Sega Saturn. I played Virtua Cop in arcades. I mean, that game is still in arcades today. Fun game. Hard game.
NiGHTS at number one is absolutely perfect. I played it as a kid and now that I'm 30, I can still play that game and be enraptured by its awesome music and imaginative gameplay.
Man Last Bronx and Fighting Vipers should be on this list too . Who's with me?
People love to talk about how bad the Saturn is but I remember getting one after only having 8 or 16 bit systems and I was blown away. I got it with Nights Into Dreams and it was an epic game along with the Panzer Dragoon games. I think it's right up there with the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation. The problem wasn't that it was a bad console it was just that very few quality developers made games for it.
Thank you for this. The Saturn was the most underrated console in history. The world missed out on some of the best games ever made. Owning the Saturn was probably the happiest time in my childhood.
This video made me feel so nostalgic, I'm only 23 but I used to sega Saturn all the time with my brothers 😥
Dragon force....
Came here just for this comment... What an amazing game DF is. I still play it regularly on an emulator.
Stainless1369 I still have my copy for my Saturn =P but the console itself died years ago, so emulator is my only option.
Exactly my situation. I also still own Panzer Dragoon Saga.
Stainless1369 Sold my set for $600 years ago D= was short on cash and well you know...
Science the Pony
Dragon Force was the #1 game for me on the sega saturn. Thankfully, I can play it my PC. But, nothing beats playing it on the console.
Guardian Heroes was one of my favorite games when I was young. Great nostalgia moment.
Can you feel the sunshine, WatchMojo?
Does it brighten up your day?
No
And don't you feel that sometimes
You just need to run away?
So many different things to see
Sonic R = best Saturn game ever! :D
"Everybody's Super Sonic racing, try to keep you feet right on the ground..."
Gotta agree... please always see it as being a bit cheesy for the music and the fact it's not a traditional Sonic game. However, the tunes are all really catchy (I legit like them all), it's lotsa of fun and the graphics are really impressive.
Growing up, I played a lot of games not mentioned here, like Mr. Bones, Three Dirty Dwarves, Baku Baku Animal, and Bug! I'm surprised none of those even got an Honerable Mention.
+SuperChaosControl Yes! Or Virtual On and Battle Monsters..or Shellshock
+Justin Burnham Bug! and Virtual On were amazing! The level design for Bug! was so revolutionary when it was first released
I loved bug.
Yes the 3 Dirty Dwarves and bug should have been mentioned and I could mention others.
I downloaded an Android Saturn emulator just to play 3 dirty dwarves lol and yes it works everything except saves states but no worries after you complete a level you can select it in options
i LOVED x-men vs. street fighter. it was a real arcade conversion done perfectly for a console.
Guardian Heroes, Saturn Bomberman and Panzer Dragoon Saga are probably my all time favourite games on the Sega Saturn. :)
Clockwork Knight? Astal? Gex?
^^^
My childhood.
Yes, yeeeeeese, and yes
Yes, clockwork knight!
anyone remember one called "Crusader; No Remorse"?
ლ(◕ω◕ლ)
oh yeah Bug! was pretty awesome too :)
Burning rangers was a cool game. Im glad it got a cameo stage in the last sonic racing game
For me one of my most favorite Saturn games was Mystaria: The Realms of Lore, also known as Blazing Heroes. It was my first strategy and rpg game I ever played, The game meant so much to me and I still have it to this day. I cant even begin to count how many times my brother and I have beaten this game.
Definitely my favorites that I had for my Saturn were Astal (short but very good) and Battle Arena Toshinden. I still have the disks and intend to get another Saturn to play them again.
Greatest console of ALL TIME! I don't think I could do a top 10 list for Saturn, there are just too many fantastic titles I would inevitably have to leave out and feel guilty about;)
I'm so happy to own working copies of most of the games in this video. I love old school gaming. I enjoy them so much more than most current gen stuff.
You just placed the best games of my childhood. Thank you. And Nights at #1? That game was beautiful.
Nice choices.The Panzer Dragoon series was my favorite.Magic Knight Rayearth,Legend of Oasis should have been mentioned as well.
I love Die Hard Arcade, I remember finishing the game with my dad, we had tons of fun with it :,)
I've just started watching, let me guess: Nights Into Dreams is gonna win #1.
Called It!
Well to their credit, I do own several saturn games including Nights and Burning Rangers. So I can verify that Nights really is one of THE best games on the system, at least in my opinion anyway.
+The Spit Dragon (Spitty) yep! Played that demo disc plenty-along with that terrible Clock game and the awesome HR derby in that otherwise awful baseball game.
Never did I ever think I would see this list. My first console and one of my favorites.
The most innovative and fun, musical game I found was MR BONES! I remember laughing so hard that I couldn't believe it. And I love the message of the game. Very great characters, varying game play and super cool video scenes.
And I would take Need For Speed (the very first one) to number 2. Mostly for the music, but also for the crazy driving. Unmatched!
This makes me want a Saturn. SO. BAD.
longarmsshow just get a emulator for pc or a smartphone
@@milans041 Works better for pc
There's way better channels that talk about the Saturn than Watchmojo. I recommend Game Sack, Classic Game Room and MetalJesusRocks.
I have 2 of them
I miss Sega Saturn.
buy yourself one
I had a blast growing up with my Saturn. I was hoping to see more of my favorites on there like Magic Carpet, Virtual On, Panzer Dragoon Zwie, Croc, and Bug 2.
Nights for sure!!! Spend most of my summer holidays playing that game over and over.
Good call!!!
I remember playing the top 1 pic on demo consoles in stores. Memories!
I wanna fly sky Highhh! , let's gooOoOO togethaaaa! " Daytona USA Best song "
A great list of Saturn games. I loved Sega Rally and Nights was amazingly fun.
I have always wanted to play Fighters Megamix. It was the first fighting game to featured characters from different franchises kind of the way Super Smash Bros is now. It featured characters from Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Virtua Cop, Rent-A-Hero and Daytona USA.
I loved the Saturn, wish I'd owned one. Would sometimes have a swap around from time to time with my mate and he'd borrow my Dreamcast and I'd borrow his Saturn, good times. Surprised Tomb Raider 1 isn't on here since it was well recieved at the time and was released on the Saturn first.
nice list, love the sega saturn :) mine are all the panzer dragoon games, shining force 3 shining the holy ark etc. :)
Panzer Dragon Saga was what ICO and SotC where to PSX. Amazing art style, music and story. Glad I got a copy... Only wish Sega release it updated for everyone to play. Its a must play for a true gamer.
Glad to see Panzer Dragoon made it on there; the Saga I only ever got to play on an emulator because it was never released in Australia. But I had Panzer Dragoon and PD Zwei. The orchestral music of the orginal by Yoshitaka Azuma was nothing short of jaw-droppingly beautiful, and I still listen to it to this day.
NiGHTS, Daytona USA, and Panzer Dragoon Saga are the three games that’ll make you want a Sega Saturn.
Hmm...its unlikely most people can get a copy of
PDS, but there are quite a few other games that could
help fill your list, which are
probably still affordable...
No Virtual On?
No Astal?
House of the Dead??
Clockerwork Knight??
Bug! deserves an honorable mention.
Ahhh shish kabob!
I remember seeing Resident Evil 1 on Sega Saturn the first time, I was a kid and afraid of the graphics. damn how nostalgic
The most underated system.
With gamecube.
Dreamcast, TurboGrafx-16, and PlayStation Vita.
Holy sh*t, Die Hard Arcade! I couldn't remember what that game was called for the life of me, thanks lol. I used to play that in arcades all the time, at the time I didn't know it was a movie series. I've never seen the Die Hard movies. I also loved Virtua Fighter, I played that in arcades alot too. I never owned a Sega Saturn though.
Watch Die Hard, best christmas film ever.
I just remembered, I used to play this arcade at Golden Skates alot every time I went up there lol. I'm just glad I remember what it's called, just watched a playthrough of it. Lovely nostalgia.
You can get Dynamite Cop for the Dreamcast; it's the sequel to Dynamite Deku which came here as die hard arcade
Thanks for this video! One HUGE aspect of Guardian Heroes you skipped was having 10, 15, 20(?) enemies onscreen at a time, all actively trying to kill you! When Han swings his sword through 8 baddies at a time, it's pure zen.
My god, thank you so much for reminding me about that Die Hard game, So much nostalgia and I almost forgot about it completely.
No Dragon Force :(
I need to go pick up a Saturn
I'd advise lots of education first. Seriously, the Sega Saturn is an amazing console for the day and has one hell of a library. The biggest issue is that 90% of the games were never ported over to English. This means there is an insane collection of really awesome title which all happen to be in Japanese. Many of them have English Menu options but not enough. Sega Saturn also offers the ever coveted Red Label titles.
play Nights into dreams that a good game to play and Christmas Nights
My cousin had one and I played Nights, it was a great game. But some many others I missed I want to get a chance to experience..
Daniel Lopez well you can buy it on PS3 store or on XBOX360 store
@You'reAlwaysAWinner :O
WOW!!!!! Never thought you guys would do this list.
Also, Nights is not a platformer. It's a......wait......what the hell genre is Nights in anyway?
I miss my Saturn so much, the Panzer Series was excellent. Also had a huge soft spot for Die Hard Arcade and later Dynamite Cop. There were a lot of good games on the system really. Legend of Oasis, Shinobi (despite digital characters), Sonic Jam, Scudd, Magik Night Rayearth, Shining Series, Megaman, Burning Rangers... Saturn was great.
NiGHTs Into Dreams is one of the best Sega games ever made. There was another game i owned for the Saturn where you played as a bug, but i cant remember what it was called. It was a great game
Bug...simply bug
omg yes Nights is #1!!! I luv you WatchMojo you got a subscriber!
Hontoni Arigato we'll other videos will let you upset.
Hontoni Arigato :)
Guess i get this as my next retro console. Love the classics
I pretty much had all these games as a kid , the feels !
Almost my entire Saturn collection would've been a good choice for this list, but it would've been a top 20+ instead.
My collection includes: Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining the Holy Ark, Shining Force 3, Grandia, MagicKnight RayEarth, Albert Oddessy, Warcraft 2, Legend of Oasis, Dragon Force 1 & 2, Guardian Heroes, Street Fighter Alpha 1, 2, and 3, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Xmen vs Street Fighter, Final Fight Revenge, Vampire Savior, Nightwarriors, Dark Legends, Pocket Fighter, Super Puzzle Fighter, Sonic Jam, Nights into Dreams, Myst, Burning Rangers, and several more games that were decent but not as acclaimed as most of the other games I listed above. I played that Saturn for hours everyday since it was released, and that was while balancing a 30 hours a week job, full-time college studies to become a teacher, and the first few years of my marriage. The Saturn provided more fun memories than anything else did back in the day. Pro Action Replay cartridge was so sweet!
+Marie Laudate ALL of the Panzer games deserve to be in the top 20 list.
Shining the Holy Ark and Grandia it should be in the top 5
i hear you tho i was in high school! my top five: 5. Shining the holy ark. 4. Grandia. 3 .Shining force 3. 2 .Dragon Force. 1. Panzer Dragoon Saga.
I like your number 1, I think Panzer Dragoon Saga is a contender for best RPG of all time (regardless of system) ... but there are so many great RPG's!!
Absolutely. I had both a Saturn and a Playstation and had already played Final Fantasy VII thinking nothing could top it. Then Panzer Saga came out and blew my mind. It was close between the two, but I would have to give the Edge (pun intended) to Panzer Saga.
What about one of the greatest Castlevania games made, Castlevania Symphony of The Night?
darksouls45688 The Saturn version does contain extras, but it was a lazy port where they stretched the graphics, lags more and has longer loading.
+Luigi84289 Huh? How is something so small as bad dubbing (which can even be funny sometimes) be worse than something that affects the actual gameplay like lag?
+megamarsonic Poor voice acting can single handedly destroy any immersion into the game. It's hard to take characters seriously if they sound like they're being voiced by the local middle school anime club.
+Jessie Edsell Well I guess that would suck if you're invested in the story, but not as much as having the actual gameplay wrecked due go technical problems. Maybe I would put voice acting higher while listening to an audio book or something but, kn video games, gameplay almost always comes first. Mess up the voice acting and I may find it funny or, at the very least, power through and keep aying. Mess up the gameplay and I'm through playing it no matter how good the other parts of it are.
Because is a port from the playstation
I did not know Miyamoto said that about NiGHTS. That and Panzer Dragoon Saga are my two favorite games ever.
I loved playing this system back when I visited my friends house..good times
I am a bit disappointed that Street Fighter Alpha 3 is not number one or at least number two, since 3D games seem to be the concept of this best list. It is one of the few 2D games that incorporates all of the Saturn's features. These include, but are not limited to:
1) Auto saving.
2) Using all of the processors separately for best sound quality and animations that even the Dreamcast failed to have in its port.
3) Background loading during gameplay for no loading times in-between matches.
4) Internal clock.
5) Highest Resolution.
It looks better, plays better and sounds better than any other home console port to this day. The Alpha Anthology just ported the bad Playstation version and the Playstation Network revisited the bad port once more. The PSP remade it, but in the end it forgot about those animations again.
The Dreamcast port is the only arcade-perfect port in terms of gameplay and no loading times like the arcade, but the Saturn port is the indefinite port due to having all of the features that the arcade version has as well as copying the exact nature of it flawlessly. It honestly feels like you took the arcade version home with you as it looks exactly the same.
Also, the gameplay is actually tighter than the Dreamcast port as well and having the 6-button setup is superior to it by far. Oh, and let us not forget that awesome d-pad the Saturn has which is flawless for fighting games to perform those combo moves. Even though it fetches for high prices, this port is worth getting your hands on.
The 90s the last great decade.
so for the last 17+ years you have been living in misery? wow
no, not really. the last 17+ years haven't been miserable, just very meh
everything now is usually just so disposable and lacking any originality or heart most the time.
Nah the 200s had there moments beisdes the 90s wasmet that great video games use to cost 80 dollars
its the great actor of fox mulder from xfiles love your show by the way ^_^
Dragon Force was one of my favorites. Cool characters and story, and had pretty good replay value
I was really gonna think Sokyougrentai(Terra diver) would at least be an honorable mentions, but radiant silvergun for a shooter on here it's still great to hear since it's one of my favorite Saturn shooters as well!
Dragon Force no question!
This list of games all basically take full advantage of the Saturn hardware which was complicated and poorly documented. Can you imagine what games would look like if devs stuck with it and the system did well?
Just these few games from 94-96 look better than the majority of the N64 and PS1 lineups until 1998! I mean compare Cruis'n USA to Sega Rally Championship, or Panzer Dragoon to RPGs like FF7.
Sure in 1998 we had Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, etc. - but then compare those to late life cycle games for Saturn like the Shenmue Saturn footage.
I really think Sega should have stuck out with the Saturn a bit longer, or heavy handedly ended the Genesis line to push the console in 1994 in the States. It's such a shame considering its fairly large library and success in Japan.
I agree, I'm sure I have more import titles for my Saturn than domestic. Same thing happened with the Dreamcast... I couldn't believe how early they ended it here. Your true fans miss you SEGA!!
The Dreamcast came out too early, people weren't ready, they were the first with their own online game library... sad to know that now it's all we use... they could've been far ahead of PlayStation, probably leaders ... and maybe the Xbox would've been never launched...
Shining Force 3 is my all time favorite game. I was happy when it got at least mentioned :)
Panzer Dragoon Saga should have been #1.
+andresisthename This.
my favorite Sega Saturn game ever is Panzer Dragoon2 Zwei.. who is with me
That was a mind-blowing game... I was happy to see #3, #5 & #8 on the list, was expecting to see Assault Suits Leynos II in there but it's a very difficult and not that popular game. Vampire Savior anybody? Antiignorant is true to his tag with Virtual On, I got 2 sets of the Twinsticks for versus!
I love it too
Certainly one of my favourites. It's a bit like asking me to choose which soft toy was my favourite as a kid... they were all damn good!
Panzer Dragoon Saga is not only my favourite Saturn game, but my most favourite game of all time... So I would have put it at Number 1... then NiGHTS at Number 2.
Oh, and I loved Sonic R - I really don't get what the issue with it is.
#10 - I still play this game often today. One of the greatest light gun games I've ever played!
#9 - Who cares if it has little to do with movies, but it is a great exclusive.
#8 - Not a fan of those type of games.
#7 - Great game that's certainly one of the Saturn's greatest exclusives! Give it a try!
#6 - I'm not a fan of fighting games.
#5 - Looks great, but I don't care for this one.
#4 - One of my all-time favorite arcade games of all time!
#3 - One of my Top 25 favorite video games of all time! Well worth the $250 I paid for it!
#2 - I'm not a fan of fighting games, but receiving this one with my Saturn wasn't so bad.
#1 - Definitely one of the greatest and most innovative games ever produced by Sega, and it's no longer exclusive on the Saturn. Don't miss this one if you've never played it!
My Hon. Mentions - Shining the Holy Ark, House of the Dead, Burning Rangers, Shining Force III, Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Iron Storm, Mega Man 8 (Saturn version is superior to PSX version).
SONIC JAM!
A compilation of MegaDrive games..... smh
Make Top 10 Polystation Games.
Nights, never played another game like it, such a fine one.
Personally, I really loved Bug! and Clockwork Knight. I can see why they aren't on this list, but I thought they were magnificent as a kid.
TOMB RAIDER! First ever release was on the saturn! How could they miss that? That was supposed to be number 1!
It went on to be one of the most ixonic franchises ever and started all on the SATURN.
Good call. Not known as a 'Saturn game' but its debut was on the Saturn and it's in most all time greatest lists.
Happy 20th Anniversary SEGA Saturn!! ^_^ ♥
I've always wanted to play Shining Force 3. The first two were amazing on the Genesis.
This console was great and thanks for giving me some recommendations which game to download😊
The saturn is very impressive for it's time.
Actually no, its why Sega went bankrupt
No mention of Mr. Bones? Eh, I'm not sure what to say. NiGHTS is one I never played but would like to.
I got a Sega Saturn I've had it since I was young it my
Ornament in my glass draw with the games I got all those games
But now it my history for a long time more to come
Just got my Japanese Saturn today! So excited.
I would've put Burning Rangers on the list and put Panzer Dragoon Saga at #1
wait a minute, why is house of the dead not on this list?
It really wasn't a good port :S
5:29 I use to play that on my PC when I was a kid, along with sonic R. Memories :)
My first console ever... I've played Daytona USA ("Dayyyytonaaaaaaaaaa !") & Sega Rally Championship, such a good time.
Grandia ?
maybe only games that got released in the US counted
WHERE THE HELL IS ALBERT ODYSSEY: LEGEND OF ELDEAN YOU NEANDERTHALS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
+Sagittaire There is about a dozen or so RPG's on the system which are better than that.
+Mitjitsu Well, sure. Some of them were indeed featured on this top 10. And to be fair, if only the game was 'completed' (If any of you played it and beat it, you know what I'm talking about)...it could rival the best of the best. Oh well. ;(
+Sagittaire I agree with you i loved the game.
+Mitjitsu ARe you counting the Japanese RPGs. the saturn only has like 9 or so RPGS. ( im not counting Dragonforce)
hahaha. Right. Right. Still, Albert Odyssey: Legend Of Eldean has the foundation of THE greatest JRPG made in history...if only they covered the loose ends.
Bug Too was good too, like hella good, so many early memories from my first console
Both of the “Cotton” games on the Saturn need to be on this list. They’re so much fun!
What about clockwork knight??????
