Another great video, I have so many great stories and memories about the Saturn. The 2D fighters that required the RAM Cart, shooters, and crazy Japanese imports are go-to games to this day. I remember a buddy calling me that May it was released here in the states to tell me the Saturn was available. I was shocked, and rushed to the store to pick it up. Great times.---Gunstar Gamer
Looking for a really rare game for the SEGA SATURN. Any advice in this regard would be greatly appreciated. The game is called DEATH CULT
Its part of a puzzle of an ARG I was drawn into

The into to this video is just silly. 😂
Love the content
@Lady Decade I bet you played Fighter Megamix on Sega Saturn.
I'm hoping they do sega Saturn classic console sort it out sega the Saturn was so underated me and my family loved sega rally me my bro and dad would see who could get the fastest lap times it was a ritual ill get up for school in the morning there would be a note left by my old man just saying I beat your lap by 0.10th of a second last night that be it after school before he got home from work ill be trying to beat his lap time without a doubt the best rally game handling still to this day
finally another girl who’s as obsessed with tech as i am 🤍
'mushroom shaped monstrosity that squatted on top of the megadrive' 🤣🤣🤣 That tickled me!
I'm a lyrical genius - Kanye
What's wrong with mushrooms squatting on stuff?
@@greenkoopa just no squatting on mushrooms
Had one at retail...loved it
Great video! I love the Saturn, picked one up here in the uk day one for a hefty £399.99, but to be fair I still have it set up, modded to play imports, and probably play it more than any other machine right now so I guess you could say it wasn't money too badly spent all these years later! When people used to be down on the Saturn I wasn't too fussed as I was having loads of fun with it! Anyway, another enjoyable video, Merry Christmas!

Sega should have brought more games from Japan in the west.
So many true gems left behind that would have made the saturn more appealing on our continent imo.
Still. saturn is one of my favorite console to collect for.
But I have to disagree with you about Daytona USA.
This game was a mess with poor frame rate, clipping textures, horrible draw distance ... and was a reason that many people thought playstation was a better harware after seeing ridge racer running on it. Sega rally on the other hand was a much better conversation imo.
You blame SEGA of Japan but I don't believe it's accurate. SEGA of Japan did not want to work on the 32X (which, IMHO, was the biggest mistake ever) and it actually got SEGA in trouble has they did not have enough chips to share between the manufacturing process of 32X and Saturn at the same time. 32X was SEGA of America decision. I think that the 32X created a big marketing problem that added to the lack of libraries for 3rd party developers create games faster. Great video overall!
@@SomeOrangeCat you don't seem to understand how the corporate decisions work.
I'm not a Sega fan, just like games overall. The fact is that Sega of Japan first asked for a Jaguar killer (which started 32x idea so maybe you're right). Another fact is that Japan had to trust Sega of America in decision making for the 16 bit continuity as that market was a lot bigger in the US for Sega (so maybe you're wrong). But they're two different houses even if you think they aren't. They basically HAD to trust Sega of America on the 32X but keep their plans thinking on Japanese market.
The development of 32x was all done in America with some help from Japan (this being the usage of the chips created by Japan). Here, have a read around 7th paragraph (or the whole thing). For me Japan was to blame when deciding Saturn was a 2D console instead of creating an easy 3D development environment. www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/04/hardware_classics_unpacking_the_32x_segas_most_catastrophic_console_failure
Sega Japan wanted 32x upgraded genesis console instead of a add-on at first and when soa told them a add-on will be much better for current genesis customers. They agreed to release the 32x add-on as cheap entry to the 32-bit era. Once the 32x failed in the west they cancelled it and started to put all their resources on the sega saturn. With the pressure on competing with the ps1 they pulled a suprise launch while ps1 price in NA was 300 usd by itself. While the Saturn gave you a better deal with game, memory and maybe a second controller at 400 usd. They should have kept there orginal launch date. Even better they should let yu suzuki design the hardware (cut down hardware of the model 2 or 3 hardware) or reach out to pc graphics chips from Yamaha, nvidia, s3, ati, and power vr.
@@EldenFiend “Sega’s American division got the telephone call from Sega of Japan CEO Hayao Nakayama which resulted in the birth of the machine.”
Straight from that article
@@JM-pm1yb yes, I've read that.
I remember being laughed at in college when I said I had a Saturn, everyone jumped on the PlayStation hype train, but I thought their release titles were utter garbage compared to Sega's, even without a Sonic game.
While they were playing Crash Bandicoot, I was playing Fighters Megamix - my first game.
When Panzer Dragoon Saga was released nobody had heard of it, but look how much it's going for now on ebay. I still have my original copy and can sit back and have the last laugh at those who tried to mock me in college. While they scramble bidding £300 for a copy, my original sits nicely on my collection shelf with my other 50 classic games.
Sega may have made a hash of the release, but I got my Saturn converted to region free when it started to bomb in Europe and it extended its life. I can honestly say it was probably the best gaming period I ever enjoyed with a console.
Good vid.
I love the Saturn. I had a PlayStation during the 5th gen, but I got a 2nd hand Saturn in Japan in 2006 for a very low price. I picked up Panzer Dragoon and Fighters Megamix for ¥100 each. While I still think the original PlayStation was awesome, I can easily make the argument that the Saturn was better than the N64.
Look up prices now. They've gone up more than my 401k this last year.
@@launchpadmcquack9305 Your 401k needs management then in that case lol
I had a Saturn. It was nothing compared to the Playstation. The games for the most part were very poorly programmed, although I hear the Japanese exclusive games were much better. It was the final nail in Sega's coffin unfortunately.
@@so_bendy You owned a Saturn for the Japanese exclusives, period.
Without those, there was no point bothering with it, I agree.
But in my opinion, once you region unlocked the Saturn, the stuff Sega had was much better than anything Sony were doing at the time.
Just my opinion.
I had one friend (I think he'd call himself a Sega Fan) who stuck with Sega from the MegaDrive to the Saturn. I was amazed by how many exclusives there were but I didn't end up getting a PS1 until '98 and by that point the Saturn was pretty much retired.

That's what happens when a game developer doesn't bring their best games to North America.
I can't tell if she's being serious or not when she models the consoles. 😂 😂
she certainly makes them look appealing!
Sadly no real good Sega Saturn emulator. Thought there would be by now. Same with the Dreamcast. I'd love a Mini of either one though.
REFRESHING!! we need more girls doing video game channels. Plus the video was pretty cool. Already subscribed!
I remember when both the Saturn and PlayStation first released. I jumped from Sega over to Sony while one of my friends had both at launch. I never really saw anything special about the Saturn at all at the time. I was pretty happy with my PlayStation and have been with Sony ever since.

Well Laddy truckin da…
Not going to pretend like I didn't just recently become aware of you via your recent Twitter posts, but your work (especially the funny stuff) is incredible and I am in awe.
Wait! We're not gonna talk about Capcoms HUGE, Legendary Library nor its Almighty Ram card that made Arcade superior games possible?! There's so many Golden hits! Not to mention other 2D Powerhouses like Astal, Silhoutte Mirage and so much more! ❤

Who don't need more retro game content. Nice to see a new channel
Lol I practically died when you put Chis Chan on the screen !!! XD
Saturn was cool, I had it bad in the day and I still have mine. There was a local Japanese import store near me back then, so I missed out on nothing in the USA. Quick list of my fav Saturn games: #10 Three Wonders (this was before you could play it on MAME), #09 Sexy Parodius (Same), #08 Astal, #07 Keio Flying Squadron 2, #06 Radiant Silvergun, #05 Tarumaru Psychic Killer, #04 Saturn Bomberman, #03 Princess Crown, #02 Guardian Heroes, and #01 Silhouette Mirage (Saturn version is better than PS1 Version). There are plenty other great games for it.
Growing up during the PS1/N64 era, The Sega Saturn was considered old news the very moment it was released. However in retrospect it was a 2D powerhouse with a handful of stellar 3D games to boot. I feel if Sega had not released the SEGA CD and 32X and just released the Saturn with a backwards compatibility for mega drive games, it probably would’ve done better. Also had it had the Japanese library of Saturn games, it may have done even better. There were tons of great 2.5D games and RPGs for it.
Or a backward compatible adapter for EU and NA would have been a 2nd option if the cost was too high to out it the hardware. Even the sega cd could have been replace with cd media for pc/dos games back then with added cd soundtracks, more storage for genesis/pc/dos games.
The amount of information and charming charisma has left me wanting more.
Another top video. I can still remember how bitter I felt after the whole 32X disaster. Had it not been for that add on I would have jumped on the Saturn following my love of the Megadrive.
I think nowadays the Saturn is way more popular as 2D graphics have aged really well in comparison to the 3d games of that time. Despite me also opting for PlayStation I still found myself soaking up as much 2D offerings as I could as despite 3D being the PlayStation's forte I mostly struggled getting into 3D gaming at that time. It wouldn't be until the PS2 that I would properly embrace the third dimention but for me 2D games were always where it was at.

Released in 1995? Crikey I thought it was later than that. How time flies...
The only thing she is missing is a top hat. 🎩
Another great video
Don’t know how but I missed out on the Saturn.. but I consider purchasing one eBay to the novelty.
Keep up the excellent work LadyDecade
Gonna find you on Twitter to follow now😊
Liking your videos so far. Wish you success in your channel growing so we can see more videos.
All the best
I subscribed just because I love your accent.
Ahhh just got in from a day out with the family to this and its about my fav console from one of my hopefully favourite (if new but bloody good already) You tubers :)
Panzer Dragon always loved the graphics and music. Poor control response biggest let down imo.
I wish Sega would release the Saturn again i wouldn't sell it so quick this time.
I’ll admit I didn’t appreciate the Saturn until I was exposed to its Japanese library. When I was a teenager in Arizona, I lived a mile away from a store that specialized in selling imports (that store closed in May 2021) and I sampled some Japanese Saturn games such as Dragon Ball Z Legends (being a big DBZ fan) and thought it was awesome. On the last day of school in 1997, my parents got a Saturn from my brothers and I for $50 new which came with VF2, Virtua Cop, and Daytona USA. And on Christmas that year, we got the best game ever for that console, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter.
I find it funny that Saturn beat the N64 in Japan. PS1 in Japan didn’t 100% take off until FFVII take out. Lots of American Saturn fans tend to exclusively blame Bernie Stolar why the Saturn failed (over his “Saturn isn’t our future” comment), but he inherited a big mess. Sega’s US, Japan, and European branches couldn’t work together. Apparently, Peter Moore told Yuji Naka or some other Sega of Japan officials to go fuck themselves because they couldn’t understand the international market. During the Genesis, they were doing good but weren’t making any big profits because they were selling the Genesis at cost (maybe even less). Think of Starbucks actually selling their coffee at cost (which is about $0.03) and that’s what Sega was doing with the Genesis and Dreamcast in North America.
I found this video right on my homepage.
10:54 You're saying that the Saturn port of Daytona USA made up for the Saturn port of Sega Rally?
That's... exactly backwards.
Daytona USA (awesome arcade game) was a Saturn launch game in the U.S. and Europe.
Sega Rally (also an awesome arcade game) was ported over half a year later and is considered the much better port.
Japan:
1995-04-01 Daytona USA
1995 12 29 Sega Rally Championship
U.S.A.
1995 05 11 Daytona USA
1995 12 28 Sega Rally Championship
Europe:
1995 07 08 Daytona USA
1996 01 24
Sega Rally Championship
id love to see uk retro gammer youtubers collaborate and make a youtube show together were followers could compete for a retro tournament !!RETRO TOURNAMENT! for all uk retro lovers
4:14 But there was a distinct lack of 3rd party support. From MEGA August 1994 "Among the new generation machines, the Saturn and the Sony PlayStation are the favouritres. Sony and Sega openly began a "third parties" competition. Each month they both announce the number of third party developers who have signed up to develop for them. The winner of the competition will be the company that has the largest number of developers. The latest score is:
PlayStation - 164 third parties (10 May)
Saturn - 178 third parties (2 June)
The Sony PlayStation. An amazing machine, but currently lagging behind in the race to sign up developers. The current leader? Saturn of course!"
Another awesome video with plenty of info and comedy👍, watching this took me back to the biggest decision to be made of that time Sega Saturn or Sony PlayStation which do I get lol, I went with Sony but after watching this I now wish I had a Saturn 😔.
Thanks for another outstanding video Lady and already looking forward to your next one👍🤘❤️
I didn’t personally get on with it; I bought one 5 years ago and found the games I was interested in (Mega Man, Bomberman, Nights & Guardian Heroes) to be overly expensive while PC ports like Doom and Hexen were done terribly! The frame rate made them completely unplayable.
I also wasn’t personally into fighting games & there were little to no 3D platformers. No Sonic was criminal! The controller was also designed for 2D games.
It just wasn’t as good as the MS, Genesis or Dreamcast.
But Japan not only got all the good games, but all the good extras. Like he two player blast city arcade controller (which I got last summer), the floppy disc drive (which was only compatible with a limited number of games), and so many unique controllers. Saturn had all the potential in the world, but Sega’s management (especially pre-Stolar) was stubborn.
Absolutely loved the Genesis and Dreamcast as a kid, but I never really had an opportunity to play Saturn at the time. Playing it as an adult has been a joy. Easily one of the most underrated consoles of all time - so much quality, variety, and charm. Tons of great soundtracks, too. 👍
I honestly couldn't watch this video, because the old game footage started making me feel ill. I'm listening to the video currently because it's very interesting and remember the Sega Saturn. I remember thinking, *"IT HAS THE BEST GRAPHICS I'VE EVER SEEN!! WOW!!!"* back then. Oddly enough, the graphics didn't make me ill then.
Fun Fact (me): That 32x thing, made be so sick back then, that I almost threw up after playing it for under an hour.
Those early graphics were... Well, they were, but weren't at the same time.
I'd like to clarify something I see A LOT that is, in my experience, completely inaccurate. The advertisement was AWESOME, it just looks terrible *now*. Everybody I know was hyped for the Saturn before the PS1 came out, and that weird doofy raver, cryptically babbling silver Saturn girl, and giant angry silver head, were fucking FRESH.
Beautiful girl
The thing with Saturn is that it didn't make the gamers feel they were playing a next gen console. While PSX and N64 users were happy playing Mario 64, Crash Bandicoot and other classics, Sega fans had to be content with poor 3D games like Daytona USA with 3 tracks only. Also N64 and PS1 gamers were bigger and had more replay factor, while Sega insisted on arcade boring 5-minutes games. Saturn has a huge library of games, many of them are very good, but I don't see any classic like Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Ocarina Of Time, Final Fantasy VII, etc. Dreamcast came to erase these mistakes, but it was too late.
Im sure the judo master commercials are confusing to the non Japanese so here’s a brief explanation:
The tag line is “Sega Satan Shiro!” which could be translated as “Do Sega Saturn” or “Play Sega Saturn”. Shiro is also a homonym for “white” which is why they show a white Sega Saturn. Now the pun is, there’s a fictional character named Sugata Sanshiro, an early Kurosawa film, about a judo master. The first phonetic character is turn into Se instead of Su, and the third and fourth characters switched which turns it into the phrase “Segasatanshiro” and rephrased into the tag line “Sega Satan Shiro”. So the white Saturn and the Judo character are both puns made from an anagram of the name Sugata Sanshiro.
Hope that clears things up.
Do you have any relation with Top Hat Gaming man?
I think your channel seems interesting, although I find your style is a bit similar to him, which I find to be quite off-putting.
Anyways, thanks for a good and informative video.
New sub here!! just found the channel today, and I already LOVEE THE CONTENT:))💕💕 about to binge watch all the vids I can 😂
PS. I FREAKING ADORE YOUR VOICE^^
Another flaw the 300 dollar price tag of the Sony PlayStation while the Sega Saturn is sold for 400 dollars.
Sega should sell the Saturn for 199 instead of 299 for Sony and the stupid decision that Sega has made.
I wish I still had a Sega Saturn to this day because I missed out on a lot of good games for it. I mean, sure, the console didn't have that many Sonic the Hedgehog games, but it had tons of fighting games from Capcom, Sega, SNK, the Mortal Kombat series, Dead or Alive 1 and some other Saturn games that I never heard of. And the superior RAM cartridge that the Saturn had was the Action Replay Plus cartridge, which was a 3-things-in-1 device, meaning that it would allow you perform cheats in your Saturn games, save your Saturn's game data and break the region encoding allowing you play imported games on any Sega Saturn model of your choice, which was awesome and the Saturn was also backwards-compatible with music CDs as well.
Emulator
You should really get into import gaming on Saturn. US and Japanese games run much better, full screen and full speed when you install a 60 Hz switch. You do need a chip or cartridge to play these imports.
Yu Suzuki says and showed that Shenmue was almost done on Saturn ! The original game on Saturn was meant to be a single episode containing what we had in Shenmue 1&2. That would have been so much ahead of its time. Yu Suzuki said, that it's why Shenmue development costed so much money, it was already an expensive game to develop and it was developed twice !
The PlayStation, Saturn, N64 era was my least favorite. Outside a few games I stuck to my Genesis until the PS2.
Okay, this blistering hatred of early 3d by 2d fans needs to stop. 3d wasn't just impressive because people were graphics whores. It created a level of realism that put 2d efforts to shame. Suddenly Link wasn't just stuck in a corridor swinging at the knight before him. Now he could roll, block, parry, and jump in ways that approximated real life, Interactivity improved and people started making entire worlds. Worlds that are still eye-catching and appealing. At least people still make 2d games. When's the last time Disney did traditional animation? Another major reason the Saturn failed was not being able to push polygons as well in a future that depended on them. Not wanting change repeatedly messed with both Nintendo and Sega.
It's funny and sad when you take a look at gaming history. Nintendo asked Atari for help in releasing their 8bit system (NES) in America. Atari eventually walked away from the deal and Nintendo dominated the 8Bit video game market. Sony asked Nintendo (and Sega) for help with releasing it's CD based game system. Both declined. Sony released what we now know as "PlayStation" and destroyed both Nintendo and Sega (sales wise) in the process. Nintendo has been able to hang on because of the popularity of their handhelds. Sega moved to a games only based company to survive. I am a HUGE Sega fan but it's shocking to me to learn just how many BAD business decisions video game companies (especially SEGA) have made.
If the Japanese doesn’t bother you than the saturn is one of the best console for rpg.
So many great and unknown games on that machine. 1057 games... don’t forget it was the most selling Sega console in Japan and was even better than the n64 in Japan!
Great channel by the way 😉
I feel like Sega consoles 'uniqueness' in its hardware designs always makes up for being the platforms of choice for niche genres of gamers somehow. Saturn is regarded as the staple for shooters and 2D fighters, only to be topped by Dreamcast wich holds up as a fighting game powerhouse even to this day.
Btw, very impressive that you actually own a physical copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. This one is sure worth the bucks these days.
I LOVE Saturn. I bought a Saturn before buying a PSX.
I own both models of Saturn (still need Japanese model)
Also own A few DreamCast consoles too :)
Dreamcast community need a video documentary about the Great great advances our console had last years, hdd/sd support, operating systems, Dreamshell/Retrodream, arcade ports, homebrew games, etc. This year is the year of English/Spanish translation of Japanese games! Thank you for making this, your work is great and it's good to have a woman in the world who love videogames. When i was child always had the hope my single mom would play with me a little. I could never understand why girls were not interested in videogames being done girls games, now i try to introduce my 2 daughters to gaming and they are happy playing little times with dad, they love Dreamcast!!! And I always loved SEGA, the greatest videogame company? Greetings from Argentina
I was impressed by your editing, information, and overall presentation. Instantly, subscribed.
I think you may have missed PoliceNauts in this review. Fortunately mos, t of the games listed in this video are actually available on newer platforms, I actually just purchased the xbox version of Guardian Heroes today! Thanks for the recommendation.
Nintendo bailed on Sony because Sony tried to swipe software royalty fees from underneath Nintendo's nose with the contract signed for the SNES sound chip.
I'm not sure if collaborating with Sony would have necessarily worked in Sega's favor either.
ETA: Very few copies of PD Saga were printed, since the Saturn was approaching the end of its life.
Kinda funny how you said "Zwei", the german word for two, as a german, it naturally sounds funny. Usually you speak the Z hardened instead of an S. You could say 'TSwei' but I guess that's hard. German seems a very hard language for english speakers - like a TH is hard for me personally, I always seem to say kinda an F.
The only game I've ever played or seen played on a Sega Saturn was Astal. My friends big brother had the Saturn and he was an absolute knob about letting 7 year olds play it 🐢🐢🐢
You need a CRT to enjoy the N64. The N64 needs a CRT display worse than any other system I’ve ever seen. Playing it on a flat panel is an exercise in futility.
As a 46 year old collector, I've seen,played or collected it all almost. Lots of opinions on the Saturn, especially with younger gamers who weren't there back in the day. To address the widely believed rumour that the Saturn wasn't made for 3d is absolute false. Sega had plenty of 3d developing experience by 95'. Virtual Fighter, Virtual Racing and Daytona had hit the arcades well before the Saturn launched. What the problem with the Saturns 3d capabilities was unlocking it. Sega had experience to do 3d on the Saturn immediately, 3rd party developers took longer to do so. I mean Panzer Dragoon and a premature Daytona launched with the Saturn, both inhouse made. So the 3d potential was always there, just that it wasnt out of the box like the Playstations ability. I get sick of hearing that it was a 2d machine that Sega threw in extra processes at the last moment. Not totally true. Sega knew it was going the 3d route well before hand. After all they were 3d pioneers. The megadrive/genesis was pushing polygons in 90' so I think Sega knew where the future was heading.Sega did throw an addition graphics processor in late wich complicated game development. More so for those companies that weren't aware of the addition till later. By the time other companies began to unlock the 3d on the Saturn, it was almost too late. The Saturn is more powerful on paper than the ps1 but difficult to develop for. The Saturn probably my favorite retro console.I have recently tapped it true potential. I have upscaled it video quality, bought a video card for it and unlocked its regions with the famous action plus key/memory cartridge. The problem with the Saturn was Sega. Not the Saturn so Much. Sega wasnt third party savy at the time, over confident in thier name.by releasing early unannounced and not helping developers initially helped push many away. On top of that dropping primary franchises was absolutely foolish. There was no real next sonic, golden axe, etc that made the genesis/mg popular. Finally when stolar announced the Saturn wasn't Segas future in 97' , Sega had pretty much screwed the Saturn yet once again, this time fatally. Developers pretty much abandoned it soon after that. Only a few third party's finished up what was in the pipeworks after the stolar announcement. What was the point afterwards? The gaming scene was so much different back then.tons of innovation with emerging technology. It was an age of many new frontiers from 89' to 99'. Probably the most exciting time I have ever experienced in gaming history.
Hey Lady Decade! Excellent video. I found about you from RGT 85’s most recent video. He mentioned you in a post below the video and I decided to check you out. This video about the Saturn is well done. Keep up the great work. I look forward to checking out your other videos as well. Cheers!
People say games are bad on this system but I have a list of the good games (please note if I missed any)
-legend of oasis/story of thor 2
-hercs adventure (also on ps1)
-nights into dreams and Christmas nights
-die hard arcade
-dead or alive (may not be as good looking as the ps1 version but plays better)
-baku baku animal
-three dirty dwarves
-guardian heroes
-Saturn bomberman
-hexen (also on ps1)
-duke nukem 3d (plays better than the ps1 version)
-powerslave/exhumed (also on ps1)
-quake
-radiant silver gun
-the panzer dragoon series
-princess crown
-virtua fighter 1, 2, and remix
-all shining games (even shining wisdom)
-bulk slash
-dragon force
-magic knight rayearth (if you can get passed the awful voice acting and long ass introduction)
-Daytona usa (plays better than ridge racer)
-Resident Evil (may not be as good looking as the ps1 version but is still good)
I miss my Saturn. I gotta say though I wish the folks that make the Redream emulator would make a Saturn emulator with upscaling options. (Disclaimer: Pirating games is bad mmmkay?)
some of my favorite games are on this system. Enemy Zero, UMK3, Resident Evil, The house of the dead.. for someone who didn't have a pc.. OR really even a saturn "My best friend had one".. it was a great deal of fun!
I asked my mum for a Saturn for Christmas and she came back with a Playstation. I got over that 'disappointment' very quickly.
Guardian Heroes is a brilliant game! I do like Shining Force 3, but you can't beat Shining Force 2 :) I never had a Saturn back in the day, but I've got one now.
9:00 Old school polygon graphics are great. I love both 2d and 3d from this era. Maybe it looks bad because you're playing on a 10 year old LCD screen or something.
The Sega Saturn is one of my favourite consoles EVER. Plus you are a fellow brit. Let's face it I was always gonna like this video!
The Saturn will always be my favourite console and Panzer Dragoon Saga my favourite game of all time. It did had some early success here in Portugal but eventually the Playstation destroyed it since there were no new games being launch for the Saturn and the import scene was never big around here.
This lady is by far underrated as well...
By decades.
It’s incredible really just how manny terrible decisions that Sega from both sides of the world really did make. I don’t know that we can blame just one side, they both just made a gaggle of really bad decisions and everyone lost out. Imagine what could have been!
A Better video than Metal Jesus Rocks has ever produced. Subscribed!
I'm guessing it's because Lady Decade doesn't have corporate Masters to appease like MJR
Concur.
Because she's a girl lol 😂...... You got the immortal John Hancock and he has the whole complete set of Sega Saturn..,. He knows a lot about games
I love mjr and his crew.
It doesn't have to be a competition imo.
@@JaminWarrenPMSI think that it's because she doesn't make videos just to get free games from idiots who give expensive stuff to youtubers.
Hi your a very Beautyful gamer. In my whole lofe ive never met a girl who plays and talks about games. They talk about make up and nails. Its a dream come true to meet a girl who knows about that and games and consoles.
For me the Saturn was a great game console, but everything Sega did after release of the Mega Drive was a disaster. I don‘t know one single person who even knew about the Saturn back than.
I had bought one many years after and the games i have are good, but they aren’t that many.
The Saturn was ridiculously powerful at 3D too. More powerful than most people give it credit for.
Saturn was so underrated. I too was jealous of my PS1 brothers, but later in the life of the Saturn it clearly had a superior experience for each genre in may instances, but it was sadly too late.
A better console than the Saturn let down only by not enough attention and poor 3D hardware. Don't forget the Clockwork Knight and Bug games.
Shes a triple threat, loves video games, good looking and smart with her video game history.
Sign me up. Great video and keep them coming. 😄
The true Saturn history. Thanks for telling these details that many peoples don't know about Saturn's genesis.
Im a simple man, i see a Sega Saturn video i click on it. Nice intro btw lol.
Say what you will lady. The Saturn was a mighty console!
I do love your channel and think you are very talented. Keep it up 👍
*complains about early 3D graphics*
*criticizes people for being graphics whores*
well well well. hope you are get promoted in youtube. great vid. got here from thgm. you 2 make good videos. greetings from vienna, austria
Sega Saturn is like The Beatles White Album, either you love it and think it's the greatest console ever or you simply dismiss it
I’m really hoping for a Saturn Classic someday or even a greatest hits collection of sorts. So many great games and emulation for Saturn still kinda sucks. Fingers crossed! Also good luck on your journey to go pro.
Rom emulator. Saved you money
@@HistoryandReviews yeah I have all the emulators and love em but I'd still like to mod an official Saturn Classic someday.
*It had Internet access and Video CD playback too which was huge in Asia back then miss!!* 💡
This channel is awesome! I subbed and hit that bell icon so the videos show up right in my feed! But saturn was a good console.
Just happened to stumble across your video and just have to say awesome job!. You found yourself a new suppoter.
ah Daytona, would never imagined racers would look like Forza back then.
different style content. like listening to multiple historians on Rome and getting different points of view
The tip of the Top Hat brought me here... Now I am deep diving older videos. Keep up the good work!
Nights is one of the reasons of why Yuji Naka games should have remained on Mega Drive.
I just unsubbed from happy console gamer and sold all my tshirt from him this is way better!
Awesome video and I love the top your wear... Beautiful ❤️
I finished my article that I was talking about. Would you read it if I gave you the link?
