For those that missed it in the description: I decided to recut this because I found some glitches in the Zero 3 footage and I was unhappy with the compression. Now in 4K, UA-cam gives me more bandwidth so things look a bit better overall.
@Canadian_Gamer I got mine from Price Club on Innes maybe a month after launch. The Price Club is now Costco Business Center... It was so cool when they had Demo systems set up as well
@Segalordx your videos have gotten me through some tough times. I recently became sober off alcohol about 6 months ago and watching your videos have helped stay clean and has rekindled my love for gaming. I’m not looking for pity likes or even a reply, I just want you to know your videos are actually out here changing lives.
Watched alcoholism destroy a friend and lived with my Dad while he had his problems. I know it can be a tough road. Not just for you but the people around you. Congratulations on 6 months.
Good stuff, brodie. I've had a history of heavy addictions to substances myself and time does make it easier to rediscover the things that make you passionate and fulfilled again. Keep positive, you're doing great.
SFZ3, XMvSF, MvSF, Waku Waku 7, Metal Slug, the list goes on and on, the arcades reached their pick during the Saturn days, summing it up to the brilliant exclusives and new genres such as Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and so much more, those who enjoyed this console, alongside the PS1 and the N64, experienced the best.
Came to Memories, saw Metal Gear Solid on ps1 at a yardsale years ago. Years of me being in Highschool flooded back to me while holding it, can't believe I am 42 now.
That game was amazing back then, I remember seeing the Die Hard Arcade randomly at the entrance of an Ice Hockey rink with my friend in 97'. We plopped in a few quarters, had a blast and laughed at the ridiculously over the top gameplay. I didn't realize there was a Saturn port (and I had a Saturn). I went to Funcoland the next day in a different town and picked it up.
Noticed the disclaimer at the beginning. “Sega Lord X LLC” has entered the chat lol. Just teasing. Thanks for another great video! Always appreciate your content!
I do love me some saturn arcade ports! I picked up XMSF some months ago and yeah, that 4M RAM cart definitely works some graphical miracles on the system! far as I can tell, it's arcade perfect! Saturn was definitely a powerhouse when it came to arcade ports for sure. Also I'm gonna have to track down VF2 again for my collection, easily my favorite 3D fighter on the system! good stuff hoping there's a part 4 in the pipeline soon!
Love these videos. Kids these days will never know wjat it was like for us. Back then it was more about how close can the consoles come to the arcade versions. That was our dream and hope for every console release. Bringing the arcade experience home. Walking into the arcades in the 90s was a pure magical experience. I remember the first time seeing Killer Instinct, my jaw about fell off my face.
I really like the design aesthetic of Saturn games, more so than the PS1. I still regret not getting one back then. Something I didn't think of yesterday, but it seems like consoles were always shortchanging the provided RAM. However, I think it made for more innovation and might have given us better programmers.
Some great games in here, but one of my favorite arcade ports on the Saturn has always been Elevator Action Returns. Not sure if you already covered that one, but if not, would be a great addition for a follow-up video in this series!
after burner -same, metal slug- arcade, radiace silvergun- same, Goku- same, Virtua fighter 2 -arcade, Primal rage- arcade, x-men vs Street fighter -arcade, the house of the dead -arcade, die hard- same, outrun-Saturn, salamander 2-same, Termination 2 -arcade, Street fighter alpha 3- same, Virtua cop - arcade.
Love watching these videos. I remember how badly I wanted an arcade back in those days. But technology wasn't like today. Now we have 1up arcades and emulators 😊
Just a point about capture quality: your white levels in the Saturn capture are much lower than the arcade ones. You need to put the 16-235 from the Saturn up to 0-255 to have equal brightness.
The VHS which came with The Game Tengoku is actually a 30min OVA of the game story. The original was naturally all in Japanese, but Limited Run Games released a subtitled version when the game was ported to PS4. I should be available to watch on UA-cam.
I am surprised Treasure managed to bring Radiant Silvergun to Saturn without the need for the 4MB ram cart considering the Titan board had extra ram! I wish House Of The Dead had been ported internally to the Saturn but it's still shocking Sega didn't think to port it to the Dreamcast and despite getting a good remake I hope we eventually get a high quality emulated version of the original! It's shocking the PlayStation got a port of Marvel VS Capcom but the Saturn didn't I could just imagine what that version could have looked like! Yes please do a part 4!
Given that there are only a couple of months between the releases, and the similarity between the STV and Saturn hardware, I would say that Treasure was making the two versions of Radiant Silvergun simultaneously.
Glad VC was last. It was such a good port and although I don't own the Saturn light gun (yet, I use Sinden and don't have a CRT here) I think its amazing that the Saturn light gun has a slot inside for a AA battery for perfect counter balance if you open it up 🤯. Their peripherals designed by that one Sega team were just top notch engineering for their day.
I noticed Sega Lord X Outro with having to drive 2 hours for an arcade. That's a shame. We must be very lucky here in the UK then. In Manchester, there are still arcades everywhere. In City Centre Manchester there is about 5 arcades and arcade bars all over Deansgate and the Northern Quarter. Nearby in Bury, i think its one of the biggest arcades in the world also. FYI - still love the Saturn and its arcade ports 100%
Manchester is a city of half a million people, not counting the outlying areas. My town is 30K people. Closest towns within an hour are no bigger than 50K people. Unfortunately for many of us we don't live in a major population center where arcades can thrive.
I don't know how games were programmed like this in the past. So amazing . The detailing. And layers. Now I'm 2024. All we have is mobile garbage games that are all replicas of each other. So there's like 20+ versions of each single game. I quit mobile gaming cause it's so lame
For me no console will ever touch the Saturn and it's largely down to those arcade ports. Graphics may have taken a hit with the 3d stuff but the playability of the games were always spot on. VF2 on launch was just amazing to play.
U know what would be super dope A video on the difference between segs saturn and the previous generation of systems(sega Genesis andvnes) A video showing the evolution from genesis to saturn highlighting thed abilities n evolution
I definitely played die hard arcade on the Saturn I used to the play the arcade version with my friends and when the home version came out we jumped on it Our favorite part was that guy in bathroom bobbing up and down as he’s taking a pee, like who pisses like that?!?
Maybe I'm mistaken, but for instance, VF 2 in arcade uses flat shading with texture mapping (it lacks hardware gouraud shading, it must be done via software), while the Saturn version uses Gouraud shading because the VDP1 supports it, being one of the few cases where it surpasses the arcade, as it's important for giving the characters a more realistic appearance
Hey dude, unfortunately im having issues watching this video same with the original upload - its a complete slide show of images rather then a video 1 frame every 10 seconds or so. this isnt an issue on my end as no other video is having this issue. Any idea whats causing this?
@@SegaLordXi have tried on: my phone, laptop, desk top and even on my ps5 just to rule everything out. on my data as well as on my wifi. Just an odd one i thought i'd bring to your attention
I recall various Argos catalogues and the like from the early 90s describing among the capabilities of the Megadrive "arcade perfect graphics", which bitterly disappointed me on discovering the reality - from fake scaling on a par with any C64 driving game, to the butchered backgrounds in "Ghouls 'n' Ghosts" and "Golden Axe" (At least on the Master System one got the sense they were squeezing the hardware for all it was worth and then some). The Saturn was definitely my first experience of arcade conversions worthy of the name.
House of the dead gets a hard time but I don’t mind it too much, mainly because stylistically I don’t think it was that great in the arcade (even if technically it was good). How far sega improved for its next gen console with HotD2 is insane though.
For those that missed it in the description:

Thank you for the clarification. Because I was sure I watched this not too long ago. I thought I watched it and forgot to like lol.
@@Bowen_Landry Same.
you like flashing
Have you deleted the old version of the video then?
Thank you so much for this! Could we have that part 4 please?
I had Virtua Fighter 2 on launch. You just had to be there back in the day, it was incredible. Even the silver game case was cool.
I remember playing it back in the day,. but on its pc release. One of my fave fighters.
also...death to dural...especially underwater lol
So true.
@Canadian_Gamer I got mine from Price Club on Innes maybe a month after launch. The Price Club is now Costco Business Center... It was so cool when they had Demo systems set up as well
Same here. But I also think it continues to hold up exceptionally well, thanks to the high resolution, 60 fps and clean presentation.

That's awesome. I'm proud of you, my friend. Keep up the wonderful work
Congratulations mate, keep up the good work and you'll beat it!
i knew how it feels, and yes, games have a "magic" to get rid of alcoholism, congrats for 6 month my friend! 🎉
Good stuff, brodie. I've had a history of heavy addictions to substances myself and time does make it easier to rediscover the things that make you passionate and fulfilled again. Keep positive, you're doing great.
Do we want more Saturn?
YES!
SFZ3, XMvSF, MvSF, Waku Waku 7, Metal Slug, the list goes on and on, the arcades reached their pick during the Saturn days, summing it up to the brilliant exclusives and new genres such as Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and so much more, those who enjoyed this console, alongside the PS1 and the N64, experienced the best.
Well put
Its crazy how good Virtua Fighter 2 still looks. Hard to believe I was about to start highschool when it came out.
Came to Memories, saw Metal Gear Solid on ps1 at a yardsale years ago. Years of me being in Highschool flooded back to me while holding it, can't believe I am 42 now.
Die Had Arcade was my fourth Streets of Rage back in the day
💯💯

Love the content and your voice really puts me into retro mode. I can feel the love for the hard work you put into it. Thanks a lot Lord x👍🏾
Definitely DO A PART 4 I'VE WATCHED THIS VIDEO 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I Would love another one of these videos.
I believe he said in the description of this video upload from last night that he already had games picked out for Part 4
Great videos as always, still waiting for part 4 😊
This is sheer sickness in the best possible way. One of my favourite retro gaming videos EVER. Thanks so much SLX.
It was such a shame the Dreamcast version of SF Alpha 3 didn't get the 1v 2 option, I always wanted to try that.
Also, yes, every one wants a part 4.
I didn't even know that there was an arcade version if Radiant Silvergun until this video. 😮
Another great episode. I really look forward to the Saturn episodes since they often contain games I didn't know existed.
You do this job well, keep it up!
I like the arcade ports of earlier Genesis games. Great channel
I love these! Saw all the episodes all together! Excellent job and channel. Bring on Part 4!
Noticed the disclaimer at the beginning.

Good to see that quality is top priority
When needed to fixed
I love any series you do, man. I do love this comparison series quite a bit though.
Wonderful video. Thank you very much for keeping the spirit awake. I would love to see a fourth part. =)
Congratulations you did an incredible job... super detailed and enjoyable

Was blown away with the xmen vs street fighter port at the time. I played it so much in the arcades and to be able to play it at home was insane
Absolutely awesome video. Congrats man. We want more!!
Thanks for the warning at the beginning btw! You saved my dog from a seizure tonight. Great video btw!
Loved this, please do part 4!
Thanks for the reupload. Hope things worked out well

Die Hard Arcade, we played it a million times in 1997. I still have it, great title.
Of course we want to see more!

It's amazing how similar Arcade ports were to Saturn! Many of them were even Arcade Perfect Ports... 🤩

Yes, part 4 please! (and part 5, 6, 7, 8 and as many as you can make!)

@@BaddeJimme Probably!
Grear video man. Thanks!
Pretty bad-assed collection of games right here!
That system is really a 2D and Arcade port powerhouse.
I love your videos so professional evry time just time capsule for evry fan 😊

Sorry to hear dude! Great videos by the way.@@SegaLordX
More please! Part 4+ all the way!
I don't know how games were programmed like this in the past. So amazing . The detailing. And layers. Now I'm 2024. All we have is mobile garbage games that are all replicas of each other. So there's like 20+ versions of each single game. I quit mobile gaming cause it's so lame
Oh please, there are plenty of great games in 2024. What are you talking about all we have are mobile games?
Very awesome video
For me no console will ever touch the Saturn and it's largely down to those arcade ports. Graphics may have taken a hit with the 3d stuff but the playability of the games were always spot on. VF2 on launch was just amazing to play.
Great video.
saturn zero 3 was by far the best version of that game for that generation of hardware, arcade included.
Thanks
I would like to see more videos like this.
2D games are perfect on Saturn 😍
3D games graphics are less good but the gameplay is like arcade 👍
The Super Scaler games are arcade perfect as far as I can see. I thought they were conversions, but now I'm wondering if they were emulated.
Thanks you for the video 👍
We gotta see Power Drift comparison on next one!!
Hi Mr. Lord X, what's the name of the music at 1:40? I tried Shazaming it but I got some results that weren't even close.
It's from Power Drift.
Song title around 1:42?
It's from Sega's Power Drift.
What’s the name of the instrumental tune near the end of the video that starts with the Outrun footage?
It's from Virtual On.
@@SegaLordX I knew that sounded familiar. I’ve played it once through Yakuza.
Part 4? Yes please!
I'd definitely like to see more.
U know what would be super dope
A video on the difference between segs saturn and the previous generation of systems(sega Genesis andvnes)
A video showing the evolution from genesis to saturn highlighting thed abilities n evolution
Thanks for the strobe warning.
It was saturn the first naomi or was the arcade? Also i think dreamcats its naomi 2 rigth?
Yes to Part IV!
A part 4 and 5 and 6 and so on!!!😅
Yes more please good sir!!!
Do Power Drift on part 4
Yes, part 4 please
I definitely played die hard arcade on the Saturn
I used to the play the arcade version with my friends and when the home version came out we jumped on it
Our favorite part was that guy in bathroom bobbing up and down as he’s taking a pee, like who pisses like that?!?
Heck yea I'd watch a part 4
Go further. We want to see part 4!
They should make a new Primal Rage game

The Saturn was the first console to bring home arcade perfect ports. The PlayStation came pretty close too

Same. And the last video is private now. He must have goofed up on something.
It's all explained in the description
I recall various Argos catalogues and the like from the early 90s describing among the capabilities of the Megadrive "arcade perfect graphics", which bitterly disappointed me on discovering the reality - from fake scaling on a par with any C64 driving game, to the butchered backgrounds in "Ghouls 'n' Ghosts" and "Golden Axe" (At least on the Master System one got the sense they were squeezing the hardware for all it was worth and then some). The Saturn was definitely my first experience of arcade conversions worthy of the name.
Fun fact, Mame actually renders differently compared to some actual arcade hardware, such as Donkey Kong.
Is it me or does the Saturn version of Virtua Cop 2 look way better than the DC sega smash pack version?
Please keep doing parts until you finish them all 😍🤗
On these reviews, are the Saturn colors and visuals muted and darkend?
Part of me always laughs when the ps1 or saturn tried to run Neo-Geo games😂
Yess I want more👍👍👍
Virtual Cop was a favorite of mine. I wasnt very good at it but I loved the gameplay and soundtrack.
I love segasaturn ! ❤️
IMO, the most significant difference is the FPS on Saturn. It's visible capped
Keep em coming plz
Oh nice. And in 4k xD
If only other developers could have exploited the Saturn's potential as Sega, Capcom and Treasure did perhaps Sega would be still making consoles.
House of the dead gets a hard time but I don’t mind it too much, mainly because stylistically I don’t think it was that great in the arcade (even if technically it was good). How far sega improved for its next gen console with HotD2 is insane though.
