This is so nostalgic for me. I wish I could be in the world of the Saturn sonic games. I was so surprised to find this video. It was like a dream come true to see something like this. The music, visuals, and the low quality sound that the music has really makes me wanna just be happy. I’ll be listening to this on a sad rainy day. Not sure if this will make me happy or more sad; maybe a little bit of both. Thanks for this LP
@@digimaksif that SEGA WORLD or whatever that thing was called would’ve continued existing and wouldn’t have been cancelled, I would’ve loved to see Sonic Rides, especially with this music.
I LOVE this era of SEGA so much. The style and sound of their games were so magical and dreamy. It's a crime that the Saturn and Dreamcast weren't as successful as their competitors.
Why is this stuff so comforting? I never owned a Saturn, but always wanted to as a kid. I'd read through gaming magazines and see these amazing pictures of stuff like Nights into Dreams, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Virtua FIghter 2, Sonic Jam, etc and desperately wanted to play them, but my family was poor and couldn't afford it. To this day, I've never even emulated a Saturn game. It might just forever stay this sort of nostalgic "what-if" for me.
It's a really nice comment because I was in the same situation. After owning a Megadrive I was of course a kid who wanted the Saturn but couldn't any of the 32-bit era console. I was looking at the magazines and at least for the first 2 years I really wanted a Saturn until the PSone really tipped the scale in its favor. Now 30 years later, I am living in Japan and I have decided to buy a second-hand Saturn with a lot of games I wanted as a kid (a lot are quite cheap in japan due to the Saturn popularity): Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2, Sonic Jam, Daytona USA, Sega Rally, Burning Rangers, Nights into Dreams, Magic Knight Rayearth, Sakura Taisen 1 and 2, Grandia etc... It was a "what-if" but it became a thing and I am smiling at myself as a kid and would like to say to myself "it's gonna be alright"
I recommend you buy a Saturn or use Retroarch to emulate ROMs. The Saturn is such a technological revolution in gaming. It is literally the in between of 2D and 3D games and showed how good games could be (Sega Rally has realistic driving mehcanics). The music was innocent, the games were innovative (some had film clips) and it has some of the best arcade adaptions of fighting games like X-Men Children of the Atom, X-Men Vs Street Fighter, Marvel Superheroes. Even the game disc cases and packaging were so unique. I had to buy one after more than 20 years because the impression was very strong. Clockwork Knight rules!
You owe it to yourself to play Nights at least. If you don't want to emulate, the PC port goes on sale on steam for literally like $1.50. It's a lot of fun
saturn era could have been one of the best eras ever if it had more games and an actual mainline title , the aesthetic of it is just so comforting and good
Too right. If the Saturn had a mainline, maybe even two, combined with another spinoff it would have been possibly the greatest Era for Sonic. We'd be getting rehashes of those levels rather than Green Hill every other game.
If Sega's North American and Japanese branches learned to work together rather than compete against each other (and if Sony hadn't interfered), the Saturn era could have been something memorable rather than infamous, and it's a shame because this era brought us some real great music.
Imagine if Sega had strategic partnerships with Capcom, SNK, Namco, and others. They could have focused on internet connectivity before everyone else and changed history.
I've always been oddly obsessed with how the Saturn era of Sonic looks and sounds, I think SEGA's creative side was the most optimistic it'd been about improving technology which is why what we got on the Saturn was so charming, regardless of how they games may have played/been presented. It's just a real big shame they were never able to make that one mainline Sonic game that solidified the Saturn to many fans, though I do feel like Sonic Mania, regardless of not actually being a Saturn game, is a good introduction to this era of Sonic because it's *almost* this at core; especially in regards to music as I feel like the OST for Sonic Mania is really trying to be a Saturn era OST, just with modern production techniques.
Hate the Saturn all you want, it's still my all-time favorite console and the most nostalgic for me as well. Nothing takes me back to the 90s like the Saturn. Coming home from school in the 8th and 9th grades, cracking open a caffeine free Pepsi in a glass bottle, a roll of Spree candy and having my bird sit on my shoulder while I played games like the very first Need for Speed and Tomb Raider on my Sega Saturn. Playing the first Foo Fighters CD in my Pioneer home stereo while playing Mr. Bones. Miss those days.
The Sonic Jam gallery music gives me a sort of nostalgic but slightly melancholy “it’s over, but it happened anyway.” kind of vibe for some reason. It makes me sad but vibe as well.
When I read this comment I thought "Yeah I feel that from the Sonic 3 save select screen" and then I get to it and it's a remix of that track, good call mate
Richard Jacques is a legend! I remember playing Sonic R on my cousin's Saturn with the analog controller in the early 2000s and the music has stuck with me ever since.
Mid-90s Sonic music was truly a vibe. And seeing this 90s-styled render with a VHS filter and compressed audio quality helps add to it. I crave more music in the style of these genres. Good to listen to when chilling or relaxing, especially when it's raining (Rusty Ruins Act 2 excels in that regard).
Tails and sonic are both lying down on long chairs overlooking a nice scenic view of Emerald Coast with a small table stand that has a radio on it and the sun is going down. “What’s up Mobius it’s a nice 23 degrees here in Station Square with a lovely sunset going down but I bet you knew that already anyway coming up the latest Mina Mongoose single just dropped a week ago it’s called “living in the city” I hope you enjoy” 50:53
Without a doubt the best era that sonic has had near around the 90s. I was born In the 2000s,So i'm so proud of those children who played this music for them in that era. Greetings from mexico.
As someone who grew up with Sega consoles, a 1st gen Sonic fan, and a live-or-die, die hard Saturn fanatic back in the day, the nostalgia when hearing this, along with the authentic VHS quality sound, makes my heart ache like few other things.
the feeling the sonic r instrumentals (combined with that background and the vhs feeling) invoke in me is absolutely insane. im diving into places of my mind i didnt even know were there. am i really 27? am i not a kid anymore? how fast time flies...
Sega Saturn had a mad vibe thats just so calming and cool at the same time. Dreamcast vibe, to me, was explosive, like a "one more round of drinks before the bar kicks us out" and the Saturn vibe feels like its before that
>relaxing sega Saturn music >opens with Sonic R instrumentals >>Sonic R soundtrack makes me uncontrollably hype >not relaxed, but still super happy Thanks m8
Sigh....this makes me miss my childhood man, so warm and nostalgic. Someone please make a time time machine so i can go back to the 90's. I'd give anything to be a 10 year old kid again sitting in front of the TV playing my Sega Saturn in 1996.
after i had gotten back to my hotel from seeing the sonic symphony, i couldn’t for the life of me get any sleep. i was still so hyped. i decided to put my headphones on and played this video to fall asleep to. that was genuinely the best night of my life. thank you for contributing to it. also love the analogue horror stuff you have going on right now. i’d love to see more of both that and music compilations like these!!
I always preferred Sega Saturn era Sonic The Hedgehog over the Sega Genesis one-especially after playing Sonic Jam! Sonic Jam is so underrated, it’s criminal!
I like to think about "what if there was a full 3D sonic on the saturn?". The 3D World in Sonic Jam or Sonic Rs Circuits looked realy good and shows what was possible on the system. Something that is kind of similar to the look would be "Ninpen Manmaru". Also the music in Jam and R is so damn beautiful.
I have always thought Diamond In The Sky’s instrumental in particular is just spectacular and the song itself is the standout in that OST. I’ve been in love with that song almost all my life.
Can you imagine if Sega had actually created and released a 3D Sonic game on the Saturn that was on par with Super Mario 64? That would have been so incredible, man.
This entire era was so good I loved it I wish we got to finish sonic xtreme but that's ok as long as we got the good games that's what matters it makes me happy to know that this era lived in the first place ☺
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. That moment when you feel nostalgic, even if you didn't have experienced that. I didn't have a Sega Saturn, but I love Sonic R music, especially *Back In Time* and *Can You Feel The Sunshine* , a true blast from the past.
Man, I wish I got to experience the Saturn growing up. Also the Saturn doing good along with other Sonic titles like a major (and uncancelled) game, The Fighters on Saturn and some third Sonic game that could've been something like an RPG before Brotherhood.
Omg I love this era so much. Something about this era made us feel excited and optimistic for the future. Words can't explain but if you know, you know
This render is excellent. It's so understated yet so nostalgic, and I appreciate the effort that went into rendering different scenes for different songs. It really isn't what you'd expect from a video with so few views
Really appreciate these kinds of videos, especially this one in particular because I'm super fascinated with this "what-if" era of Sonic, one that I often think about whenever I get in a "sonic mood". The line up we got though are honestly really interesting games to me, Jam & R in particular. The Saturn games just have so much soul to them. The VHS effect with the added audio really adds on to the feel. Would've been cool to hear the vocals too but the instrumentals still get the job done. Very relaxing & atmospheric music. Keep up the good work, dude. Your stuff isn't going unappreciated!
it took me a bit too long to realise that the reason i recognised the sonic jam gallery music is because it's sonic 3's save file theme slowed down, and GOD DAMN that's a cool use of it
This channel is super cozy. Randomly stumbled upon it & stayed for the vibes. I wasn't alive for this era of Sonic but as others have said there's a calming, chill vibe to the mid 90s Sonic aesthetic. Cant get enough of it.
17:41 it's amazing how this song reminds me of the mega drive/32x era (maybe the drums) and at the same time it sounds like a song made for sonic adventure (maybe egg carier/final egg)
3:54 HOLY SHIT the memories this just brought back wow. I have been subconsciously singing this melody for years not remembering where it was from, that's crazy I haven't heard this song in sooooo long, and wow it sounds exactly like what I'd been singing haha
I'm not gonna go and say the Saturn was underrated or anything. You can count the exclusives that are actually good on one hand. But what you can't deny is just how much potential it had. With the 3d blast special stage and even just the vibes of sonic R, you could imagine just how unique and impactful a true Saturn sonic game could have been.
I honestly believe that a true 3D Sonic game on the Saturn would’ve changed things a lot. Not sure if it had the potential to save the console, but I think it would’ve gone a long way toward convincing people to buy a Saturn! Regardless, I think Sonic’s very sparse outings on it show us a glimpse at what could’ve been, and I have no doubt in my mind that it would’ve been a great game if they were given the time and direction!
"You can count the exclusives that are actually good on one hand." -- yeah, i'm gonna call🧢on that one.

@@LowPoly32 first off, merry late Christmas, and second off, I got a Sega Saturn for Christmas! I didn’t get Sonic jam, but I did get Sonic r, which I’m genuinely enjoying!
I owned a Saturn in the 90s and was one who patiently waited for the mainline Sonic game that never came. The aesthetic of this video is incredible though. Thanks for this.
This is the kind of music that I would record on cassette tapes and listen on my Casio cassette player back when I was 9. I rememeber how kids would ask to listen with me at school and then go "when is the music going to start?" ... I could never get them to understand that instrumental music is music. As if lyrics talking about "intercourse with you" was a necessity for something to be music.
@@Vincent_Upstate Recently I got a Sony MZ-R37 Minidisc Walkman and I am doing the same thing again now on the "new" media format of mini disc. Such a beautiful machine from simpler times.
played the aus pc port by Valusoft of Sonic R and Sonic 3D (alternately titled "Flickies Island") and they were my best childhood memories. the music was amazing and has impacted my tastes to this day much to my older sibling's chagrin. it was the perfect mix of old sonic and new without too much detail to character design. sonic still looks like classic sonic but in 3d and i loved it. many hours playing with my brothers on Sonic R trying to beat the stages faster and collect over 300 rings by the end of the stage. Sonic 3d is the reason i like sorta slippery controls cause it felt i had to put more strength into the experience. amazing gameplay to my 6 year old self and i still think that way today. also gamehut has great videos made my Jon Burton who headed Traveller's Tales who was contracted to make both titles.
Thank you so much for this! I absolutely love the niche aesthetic sonic had during this small period and having a nostalgic compilation of it here with the old 90's primitive 3d graphics and old compressed music is amazing! I'll listen to this quite often :)

It is. One that's missing.
You're goddamn right
The Saturn/Dreamcast as an overall aesthetic is one sorely missed.
Can't say anything else, you're correct.
Hey, just popped in from Earth 2, Sonic Xtreme was pretty good
This would’ve undoubtedly been my favorite era of sonic if an actual mainline title released during this time

I wasn't alive for this era of Sonic but as others have said there's a calming, chill vibe to the mid 90s Sonic aesthetic. Cant get enough of it.
17:41 it's amazing how this song reminds me of the mega drive/32x era (maybe the drums) and at the same time it sounds like a song made for sonic adventure (maybe egg carier/final egg)
this is why even if I had Sonic 3D Blast for the Megadrive, I wanted the Saturn version. The OST is phenomenal, it's a time travel
This is amazing, it makes it feel like you’re listening to it through your memory. Super unique and easy on the ears.
Aural antidepressants from my childhood, injected directly into my ears! As seen on TV! Thanks!
Such a basic video, but you know, all I need are these old renders, these old songs and a little bit of TV static and I am taken to another world
This was the actual best era in my opinion
This, along with the Dreamcast era, has a vibe that's impossible to replicate. It feels like... Home
Im always happy that you opt for the instrumental versions of the songs in all these videos
3:54 HOLY SHIT the memories this just brought back wow.
I have been subconsciously singing this melody for years not remembering where it was from, that's crazy
I haven't heard this song in sooooo long, and wow it sounds exactly like what I'd been singing haha
Dreams Come True
THIS IS AMAZING IM GOING TO CRY 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm not gonna go and say the Saturn was underrated or anything. You can count the exclusives that are actually good on one hand. But what you can't deny is just how much potential it had. With the 3d blast special stage and even just the vibes of sonic R, you could imagine just how unique and impactful a true Saturn sonic game could have been.
I honestly believe that a true 3D Sonic game on the Saturn would’ve changed things a lot. Not sure if it had the potential to save the console, but I think it would’ve gone a long way toward convincing people to buy a Saturn! Regardless, I think Sonic’s very sparse outings on it show us a glimpse at what could’ve been, and I have no doubt in my mind that it would’ve been a great game if they were given the time and direction!
"You can count the exclusives that are actually good on one hand." -- yeah, i'm gonna call🧢on that one.

thats 35 games. thats like 5 hands & some change.
and i'm sure there's some I missed...
@AviatorsVEVO, you listed Burning Rangers twice
@@SonicTheFantastic its a good game. deserves to get mentioned twice.
The Saturn has a ton more exclusives over in Japan, it was Sega's best selling console there
The Saturn era maybe wasn't the best in terms of games, but it is objectively the most underrated in terms of music.
Your whole channel made me ask for a Sega Saturn and a copy of Sonic Jam for Christmas.
Great choice! I own both and it was very worth it to me. Jam is an excellent collection!
@ I’m probably just gonna do the missions in Sonic World 😅
@@LowPoly32 first off, merry late Christmas, and second off, I got a Sega Saturn for Christmas! I didn’t get Sonic jam, but I did get Sonic r, which I’m genuinely enjoying!
Love this mix 💜
I owned a Saturn in the 90s and was one who patiently waited for the mainline Sonic game that never came. The aesthetic of this video is incredible though. Thanks for this.
I wish we could’ve had that game! Might’ve changed a lot for the Saturn!
This is the kind of music that I would record on cassette tapes and listen on my Casio cassette player back when I was 9. I rememeber how kids would ask to listen with me at school and then go "when is the music going to start?" ... I could never get them to understand that instrumental music is music. As if lyrics talking about "intercourse with you" was a necessity for something to be music.
Wow I did the same thing.
@@Vincent_Upstate Recently I got a Sony MZ-R37 Minidisc Walkman and I am doing the same thing again now on the "new" media format of mini disc. Such a beautiful machine from simpler times.
Holy cow 3D Blast's soundtrack is incredible
Oh I'm pressed by the video work and way you presented the audio. classy music picks too The Saturn is my fav Sega console.
sonic is just something else 🔥🔥 hopefully they make a new good game thx for uploading
bomb playlist! thanks :)
played the aus pc port by Valusoft of Sonic R and Sonic 3D (alternately titled "Flickies Island") and they were my best childhood memories. the music was amazing and has impacted my tastes to this day much to my older sibling's chagrin. it was the perfect mix of old sonic and new without too much detail to character design. sonic still looks like classic sonic but in 3d and i loved it. many hours playing with my brothers on Sonic R trying to beat the stages faster and collect over 300 rings by the end of the stage. Sonic 3d is the reason i like sorta slippery controls cause it felt i had to put more strength into the experience. amazing gameplay to my 6 year old self and i still think that way today. also gamehut has great videos made my Jon Burton who headed Traveller's Tales who was contracted to make both titles.
Nah this is too good, I love hearing those unreleased X-Treme tracks ❤ and Work it Out is just sublime!!
Long live the Saturn!
The imagery is so spot on with the feeling of the memory I have from this era (idk if that makes sense). Very well done!!
THIS is what I picture in my head when i think about the Saturn era Sonic soundtracks. That nostalgic vibe. You captured it perfectly!
I never did get to own a Saturn. I had the Genesis and the 32X. I still wouldn't mind owning one.
Just imagine this with Sonic CD in the song Palmtree Panic Past
Relaxation comes through prayer and music.
love the idea of this. my fav song from this tho is digital manual from sonic jam, hits so hard imo
I love the Sonic Jam OST! I wish there was more of it
My favorite Sonic song ever. Kenichi Tokoi still makes music for the series.
Thank you so much for this!
I absolutely love the niche aesthetic sonic had during this small period and having a nostalgic compilation of it here with the old 90's primitive 3d graphics and old compressed music is amazing!
I'll listen to this quite often :)
Ayeeeeeee, Sonic R’s soundtrack definitely needs love. The options menu jazz lick is the sickest
didn't even realize an hour passed, lovely little playlist
I wish time travel was real, I wanna know what the 90’s was like 😭😭
The more you know I didn't even know they had a VHS ost sweet
can you make a nights into dreams playlist from sega saturn please??? and i love your sonic era playlists
Not a single day goes by where I dream of having a Time Machine and go back to my childhood days. 😢
you couldn't. You're still a grownup in mind.
this is nice to play in the background while i write, i would love to hear the vocal versions of some songs on here like this soon!
Love this. You should've added I Just Smile from Burning Rangers & Dreams Dreams from NiGHTS. They'd fit right in, too.
Especially since both are Sonic Team games
Watching this while angry and just reminiscing
