Bad news for NIGHTS Fans..

Because they are the ones who decide whether a game console tanks or not with their money.

You can't fault the consumer for not buying something that they are either unaware of or uninterested in. It's Sega's fault that they were unaware of it, and Sega's fault that they were uninterested. Plus, the price tag didn't help.

The Sega Saturn had the better games, in my opinion.

It had some good ones, and it had some simply awful ones, as far as I'm concerned. Besides, I think you'd find that a lot of people disagree with you.

Quality over quantity.

The thing is, it wasn't like the Saturn sports games were very much better than the Sony sports games, if they were at all. Marginally better, I think, would be appropriate. Furthermore, it's primarily the developers that control quality, so that's no indication of support on the console for that particular genre. If I'm afraid that a console is going to stop having sports games, and I like sports games, than I'm likely going to go to the other console no matter if the games on the other are better.

While the PSX had a good bunch of good ones, and a lot of decent to crappy games.

Besides, I think you'd find that a lot of people disagree with you.

Most of those people have never played the Sega Saturn's library, as they don't know it. They just heard from friends how bad it is.

Ha, funny. I've actually only played Sega Saturn, I've never played PSX (one in a million?).

[Mister Death]

is it importable? does it work on a UK PS2? if not, its still going to be possible to get hold of a jap PS2, which will work with a step down transformer. its NiGHTs. Its worth it.

[BenoitRen]

I don't think it's worth it when it's just a port. Who knows what the extra levels will look like. Sonic Team isn't like it was back in the day.

Just use the Swap Magic 3 discs.

the sega saturn only had a handful of rpg's and less than a handfull of them were good.

shinning the holy arc
panzer dragoon saga
dragon force
legend of oasis
magic knight rayearth

and it ends about there sadly... =(

[SheWren]

The first two of your list still worth having a Saturn.
And you forgot Shining Force 3!!!

[The HuBBs]

I would mention it but its incomplete for the rest of the world since they never ported over scenario 2 and 3.

[Lord Khyron]

Ah but scenario 2 and scenario 3 have been translated and you just need to apply the patch to a ISO of the disk if I recall.

2 and 3 were fan translated.

[SheWren]

Shining Force Central for all the help you need in scenario 2 and 3.

[Mister Death]

you forgot one of my favourite RPGs of all time - Dark Savior!
the only flaw with it in my opinion is the fact that it isn't long enough. but then, i still haven't found parallel 6...

Just use the Swap Magic 3 discs.

if converters work, i guess that's OK.

[The HuBBs]

DS was more meh than anything. I got bored with it very easily. the 1on1 combat was rather lame.
