Suggest some Saturn Games for me!

Post by ReddMcKnight »

Hello. A good friend of mine recently taught me the Swap Trick with the Saturn, so now I can play 99% of it's games. Could anyone suggest some games for me? Here are some requirements for the games I wanna know:

-I prefer English Language Games, but if they're Japanese, and only have a small language barrier, suggest them too.

-Absolutely NO RAM Cart games! I don't have one.

-Any Genere.

-Any Region.

-If it's an RPG, but it's in Japanese, Suggest it if there's a walkthrough for it.

That's all. Thank you.

some dirt cheap games you can get that aren't specifically mentioned in the racketboy article:

darius gaiden - shooter
galactic attack - shooter
clockwork night - platformer
bust a move 2 - puzzler?

the 2 shooters are good. clockwork night is so so, but still somewhat enjoyable. i don't know if you ever played snood on your computer, but snood ripped bust-a-move off.

Excluding the 1MB/4MB games here's a few pics for each genre at decent prices:

Racing: Sega Rally
2D Fighter: Street Fighter Collection (it includes SF Zero 2 Dash)
3D Fighter: Dead or Alive
Mech Game: Virtual On
Action: Die Hard Arcade (do not confuse with Trilogy) or Burning Rangers (NTSC-J since it reasonably priced)
Platformer: Nights
Shooter: Layer Section

I second darius gaiden. So awesome

Dragon Force is also a fantastic game, but will cost you around 50-100 depending on the quaility/completness.

Battle Garegga is one of the best shooters ever made and others would vote for Radiant Silvergun. Panzer Dragoon Saga and Shining Force III are excellent RPGs. Really, just check the racketboy guide. It'll get you started.

You can get this game really cheap. For like a dollar. Plus the game disc also works a regular CD in your CD player and listen to the kickass soundtrack while you play a game that is better! I recommend Galatic Attack, Donpachi, and Street Fighter Alpha!

I recommend
astal
Legend of Oasis
Shinobi Legions
Mr. Bones

I personally like astal. It has a nice look to it, and its 2D visuals are unique.

I'll recommend something I don't see a lot of people recommend: Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku. It's the Saturn port of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It's notable for the addition of additional areas, items, playable characters, music and bosses over the standard PlayStation version.

It's also notable for its longer load times, not taking advantage of the Saturn's better resolution and earning the disdain of Igarashi himself.

However, it's an excellent play (especially if you're a fan) for the content you won't find in any other version of the game.

For the more standard recommendations, check out Panzer Dragoon Saga (RPG), NiGHTS Into Dreams (3D Action Platformer? :p), Guardian Heroes (Beat 'em Up), Sonic R (Racing) and Shining Force III (Turn-based Strategy). There are a lot of decent titles to enjoy. :)
