I loved Sega Rally so much I bought the very first available WRX in North Carolina in 2001. It’s still my daily driver. I know it wasn’t in the game but it sparked my passion for rally cars when I got it on that Christmas Day in the late 90s.
That's awesome how has the engine and "glass" transmission held up through the years? I wanted to buy an EVO in 2003 but went with a 2002 Camaro SS I still have today, it's on it's 3rd engine and 2nd T56 manual transmission at only 26,000 miles. Stock bottom end LS and boost are not a good combo IMO....
I'm so pleased to see you included Nights on your list, as it wasn't included in the other video. I just absolutely love it so much, in fact there's little I enjoy more than it after 25 years. What's so satisfying to me is that a lot of PSX and N64 owners never understood it, and neither did much of the gaming media (Gamesmaster, 86%, please!). The Saturn is full of some wondrous stuff. It's still my favourite machine of all time.
Your picks here are excellent, especially the two for Best Music. Panzer Dragoon is easily in the top 5 best soundtracks ever for me, films included. Glad you released this extended version, I'll have to check out Pandemonium, it seems very fun.
The 3D control pad works like magic with Powerslave! You have complete control on how fast your character pivots, which makes aiming so much easier than the standard pad.
@@drunkensailor112 it won't work in the Pal version, only NTSC USA afaik, don't know if the japanese one supports it, but I can confirm you the US PowerSlave works flawlessly with the 3D Pad. It's a game changer.
How refreshing seeing someone actually appreciating Dragon Force for the masterpiece it was and still is. (catching up on your older uploads SLX, really great content all the way. Thanks very much and Sega bless you!)
Dragon Force often takes a back seat to Panzer Dragoon Saga and I will forever fight that battle. Dragon Force is on another level and deserves all the praise I give it.
Excellent video in every way and from the true sega eXpert. I have been a Saturn fan for 20 years now but watching these videos always brings home how many more years of great gaming experiences I still have in store, and you've already been through it! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
The coolest thing that stood out to me watching this was that you can see the bridge between Sega's arcade scalers and what polygons would quickly become. By the time you get to the Dreamcast, polygons are totally polygons. The way the Saturn handled 3D graphics makes it feel like an essential bridge and it's so cool to see this collection of games worth praising. This video was as much an art history class as it was a collection of games you recommend.
Peanut gallery here, Symphony of the Night is literally known for taking platforming out of Castlevania entirely! Action RPG, that one. Fantastic vid btw, absolutely had to come back for the extended cut - you're expanding people's worlds with this
Well said sir. Great picks. I was glad to see Bug on the list. I always thought this game was widely overlooked. It was one of the first games that to strongly attract me to the Saturn along with Panzer Dragoon. Great video. 😊👍
Love your channel. You need to look at the new Demo of Unreal for the Sega Saturn from XL2, Breathtaking graphics !!!!!!! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Great video I watch all of your stuff please keep them coming awesome to see I'm glad I'm me turning 40 in a few months born in the best generation of gaming from calico vision to PS5 thanks again.
Thanks for this video. I just started to love the Saturn some days ago after tried out some more games. From now not only the Dreamcast, also the Saturn I one of my favorite consoles. Wish Sega wouldn't have messed up the release of this console.
I recently got a Saturn and am SHOCKED about the number of overlooked titles that were released on this platform. Growing up, very few stores in my area even sold Saturn consoles or games, I only really knew about the console through confusing TV commercials and magazine ads but never really paid much attention to them. Thank you for all of your documentation on this system - it's helping me curate an excellent library of games
The Saturn library is the (very expensive) gift that keeps on giving. Still do I regularly discover titles I'd never even heard of or noticed, before. Cyber Doll is among the more recent ones.
Merry X-Mas m'lord. I'm going to re-ask for an episode like this on the 3DO or what I would consider the "best of the rest" of the 32/64-bit generation.
I really regret missing out on the Saturn back in the day. My dad was a gamer too at that time, so I didn't get a choice in what platform we got, and he went out and got a Playstation. I grew up with Final Fantasy 7.
I got a video tape (VCR) with a console magazine back in the day of footage of Sega Rally Championship before the game came out. I remember just watching the footage over and over because the game looked so good. I never had a Saturn in the end but I still have the tape, lol.
I love your content. Your a true Sega fan . I learn from your content. Sega is a great company. I always had their latest console. I think genesis and Dreamcast were my favorite. I'm curious if you play games from this generation? Looking forward to anything you make in the future
I remember when the 64 came out. I almost got a Saturn but changed my mind at the last minute and went with the 64. I never regretted it but it's fun to see what I've missed out on all those years.
I never liked sports games but there was one Soccer game on Saturn that I absolutely loved and would play it all the time. I remember you could change the weather to make it dark and cloudy or rainy and I loved that. I really enjoyed that game can't remember what it was called tho
I clicked on this video assuming this was covering the "Best of the Best" movie that came out in 1989, I was like didn't think this movie got a Saturn port 🤣. Great work as always, Merry Christmas!!!
About 10 years ago i had to sell off my fairly big game collection so my family wouldnt lose our house. Back on my feet, this week I finally was able to pick up a retro console and I got a JP model 1 Saturn with 2 controllers, Panzer Dragoon 1 and Fighting Vipers for 100$. Im so excited and binge watchin Saturn vids!
Still scratching my head as to why Best Platformers didn’t make the cut of the original video, when that is a main category for most consoles. Still glad this full video was posted.
In Europe the Saturn was so underrated even more than United States. I think you can see way the prices are so high for games as people are starting to realise this is such an awesome console!! Like it should have been. Great video this really it's a nail on the head for the best of the best the for this console. Thank you 👍🏻
It wasn't amazing with the small pal library. Amazing just in Japan. The overwhelming majority never got to Europe. Regarding RPGs, you can even say it about the SNES
Still the best channel for SEGA lovers! I recently read about the newest Polymega (have you covered it?). I’d love to know how it’s SEGA emulation works and HDTV light-gun(s)???! It’s been my dream SEGA would build an All-In-One console to play at least Master System through Dreamcast plus extra arcade boards, via original cartridge or disc or even card: a machine that’s okay anything SEGA created, with built in extra RAM, storage for 999 saves or more, tweaked to modern TV’s and again, light gun support. They’d sell phenomenally! Especially if internet was playable but NOT required!
Me too, played the hell out of my Saturn, surprisingly more so than my PS1 and even Dreamcast. The games I spent the most time on were: Dragon Force 1, Iron Storm, Groove on Fight, Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Fighters Mega Mix. Groove on Fight is such an underrated 2d fighter on the system.
Yo I swear on life, the opening sound along with the female chanting the word Sega, if Sega were to ever have another video game system this should be the intro on the power up every single time you cut the system on. This is nothing short of perfection as far as a Sega intro goes. It’s just sad to say that, I think all of us diehard Sega fans will never get that dying wish of the company.

the category transition music and visual makes me feel something primal and beautiful o_o
The Saturn was such a cool console and it's great to see you keeping its legacy alive! Merry Cribmus SegaLordX!!

Definitely check out Pandemonium. It has really colorful graphics and awesome gameplay.
Really appreciate the great content again this year SLX. Always learning new things from your videos.
Merry Christmas from England brother.
Thanks, you too!
The 3D control pad works like magic with Powerslave! You have complete control on how fast your character pivots, which makes aiming so much easier than the standard pad.
Gotta remember that!
It doesn't work with 3d controller I'm pretty sure. What version so you have?
@@drunkensailor112 I have the US version and the 3D control pad works flawlessly. Did you even try it out before you made your asinine comment?
@@drunkensailor112 it won't work in the Pal version, only NTSC USA afaik, don't know if the japanese one supports it, but I can confirm you the US PowerSlave works flawlessly with the 3D Pad. It's a game changer.
@@andrewglazier8940 why respond like such an assole? The pal version doesn't support the 3d controller
Just shows how much you love this console. A whole 40 minute video discussing the games you love wasn't enough so you added some more 😂
PEACE, blessings, and Merry Christmas to everyone !
How refreshing seeing someone actually appreciating Dragon Force for the masterpiece it was and still is. (catching up on your older uploads SLX, really great content all the way. Thanks very much and Sega bless you!)
Dragon Force often takes a back seat to Panzer Dragoon Saga and I will forever fight that battle. Dragon Force is on another level and deserves all the praise I give it.
I was an N64, PC, and at the tail end, a ps1 kid but the saturn is my favorite console to collect for today
This is a great early Xmas present. Love these gaming lists you do
Happy holidays!
Excellent video in every way and from the true sega eXpert. I have been a Saturn fan for 20 years now but watching these videos always brings home how many more years of great gaming experiences I still have in store, and you've already been through it!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
I agree, Mystaria is a great strategy game.
On a SLX binge today.
Blazing heroes is simply amazing so much nostalgia with a bud who recently passed away it was a trip seeing it again thank you
The Saturn and Dreamcast are my most beloved consoles from Sega, indeed.
Bro, your love of Saturn and Sega in general makes me soooo happy. I was and still am a loyalist. Wish we met back in the day brother.
The coolest thing that stood out to me watching this was that you can see the bridge between Sega's arcade scalers and what polygons would quickly become. By the time you get to the Dreamcast, polygons are totally polygons. The way the Saturn handled 3D graphics makes it feel like an essential bridge and it's so cool to see this collection of games worth praising.
This video was as much an art history class as it was a collection of games you recommend.
Respect for creating the impossible video. Saturn's library is too deep for me to choose only one or two favorites in each genre, especially shmups.
Peanut gallery here, Symphony of the Night is literally known for taking platforming out of Castlevania entirely! Action RPG, that one.
Fantastic vid btw, absolutely had to come back for the extended cut - you're expanding people's worlds with this
It's still a hardcore platformer whether there are hole deaths or not. Adventure platformer, that one. ;)
Movement remains a core aspect of it for sure
Well said sir. Great picks. I was glad to see Bug on the list. I always thought this game was widely overlooked. It was one of the first games that to strongly attract me to the Saturn along with Panzer Dragoon. Great video. 😊👍

Great video for a truly great console... In my top 5 all time for sure. Nice work, thx for bringing back my bestest gaming memories... Again.
Love your channel. You need to look at the new Demo of Unreal for the Sega Saturn from XL2, Breathtaking graphics !!!!!!! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Thanks, you too! I have seen the Unreal demo and will definitely check it out.
Best gaming UA-cam channel, hands down! Merry christmas SLX!
Big fan of your channel. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas from across the sea in Ireland 🇮🇪

Glad you enjoyed it!

Love the directors cut version next time we should get backstage clips as well
Happy Christmas buddy.

Nada mejor para despedir el año que un video de lo mejor de Sega Saturn! Gracias Sega Lord X y muy feliz año nuevo!
Wow directors cut ! This is Xmas present 🎁

Thank you for all the great work Mr LordX, the Saturn is still alive and well 🤙
Merry X-Mas m'lord. I'm going to re-ask for an episode like this on the 3DO or what I would consider the "best of the rest" of the 32/64-bit generation.
Great video, you have an incredible channel
Love you Sega lord, thanks for keeping the dream alive!
Thanks for everything you put out bro. Merry Christmas
Thank you too.
Merry saturnmas
I would put RS + Garegga as the greatest Saturn shmups. Great vid as ever, SLX!
Saturn Snyder Cut?!? Hell yes!!
I really regret missing out on the Saturn back in the day. My dad was a gamer too at that time, so I didn't get a choice in what platform we got, and he went out and got a Playstation. I grew up with Final Fantasy 7.
The Sega Saturn port of Elevator Action Returns was recently released as a digital download by City Connection for current consoles.
I got a video tape (VCR) with a console magazine back in the day of footage of Sega Rally Championship before the game came out. I remember just watching the footage over and over because the game looked so good. I never had a Saturn in the end but I still have the tape, lol.

I appreciate that! Thank you. Yes, I still play games for modern systems.
I think it’s time for a classic Saturn mini with all of the games mentioned in this video!!! That right there would be a wet dream come true!!!
Thanks for taking me on a trip through Memory Lane
Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas!
I watched both versions of this episode. Great content as always!
Great work Sir thank you
I remember when the 64 came out. I almost got a Saturn but changed my mind at the last minute and went with the 64. I never regretted it but it's fun to see what I've missed out on all those years.
Sega Lord X delivers a DX cut on the saturn LFG!!!
Great video ! Agree with most of the choices specialty the music category sounds great till this day
Honestly I just really love this content.

A great list of winners and runners up :)
Bulk Slash was my jam!
Im so glad someone loves Saturn as much as I have. I have supported it since day one of the American release.
I can't believe Albert Odyssey didn't at least get an honorable mention. You were right on the nose with mystaria, that game was a work of art.

Best of the best playstation 1 and 3DO games list

I used to love Decathlete. Glad to see some love.
Well... HERE WE GO!!!
When is your criterion collection set coming out?
oh good merry christmas 🎄 and a prosperous new year 👍🏻🎮
Very good timing now that I finally got my steam deck and ready for some emulation action
I'm not even a gamer but watch your videos ✌️
Rly helpful, now that saturn mister core is approaching the finishing line.
YAY! Nights into Dreams! The Christmas Nights into Dreams is the best 'FREE' game they ever released for the Saturn as well.
And don't forget the runner up in the category of "Very good games that Sega Lord X likes" Radiant Silvergun.
The mountains in the background of Decathelte are excellent graphically.
I had the racing wheel and most of the racing games. It was a lot of fun
What a wonderful gift to curl up to on this frosty night. Merry freaking Christmas to all!!
