The Sega Saturn was a good system for its time, it even had games better than it's PS1 and N64 competitors. However, The Saturn was unfairly rejected by people because of its lack of games (LOL BERNIE STOLARD), so ultimately the console was forced into an early grave by the Dreamcast, and it was a dark day for Sega. Almost like the company's 3DO or Jaguar, except this didn't suck ass. If you find yourself a Sega Saturn, BUY IT. It's worth your money. Don't belive me? Check out dat list and dem games.

Sega Saturn Games - NTSC-U/PAL

Box Art Title Genre Description Screenshots
Albertodyssey front Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean RPG A turn-based RPG about some kid, Pike, who saw his parents get assraped by monsters when he was an infant and afterwards he was raised by furries (harpies). Then, his adopted sister is turned to stone and it's up to him and a TALKING SWORD to find the cure and stop those evil magicians from turning the world's races against each other and resurrecting the ancient god, Vlag. YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS GAME. Albertodyssey-1
Astal front Astal Platformer A neat platformer regarding goddesses, life, creation, and crap like that. Very fun as you go around punching enemies, throwing objects at them, or use you fucking pinball of a bird to destroy them. Sold poorly due to the new age of gaming. Astal-1
Bakubaku front Baku Baku Puzzle This is a strange tile-based puzzle game that came out on different systems. The concept revolves around feeding animals food, which helps you beat the other player somehow. Unlike the other versions, this one has extra modes and prettier graphics.You might like it if you've played something like Puyo Puyo. Bakubakuscreen
Barura front Battle Arena Toshinden URA Fighting A fighting game with swords. What more can you ask for? Although, in this game, you can no longer pussy your way out of every damn attack by dodge rolling. Battle arena toshinden 2
Bug front Bug! Platformer Like the title says. Your a Bug and you do alot of 2.5D platforman. Has a level where you can race Sonic the Hedgehog in his Sonic & Knuckles sprite. Really shoddy graphics compared to now. Has a sequel BUG TOO! Bug!
1171494167-00 Bug Too! Platformer Sequel to Bug! More platforman and whatnot. Bugtoo screen005
Gibmoniplzbr Burning Rangers Third-person shooter In the near future, the world will face an ultimate evil. FUCKING FIRES. It's up to you to save all the citizens, collect crystals, and extinguish those flames with a man on a jetpack. Has neat platforming as well as TPS. It plays better than it sounds. Burning rangers
Clockworkknight Clockwork Knight Platformer A platformer with a toy-theme. Probably the first game to pioneer a key as a weapon which is a nice little history lesson. Pretty cool, but a bit average. Still fun though. Clock1 1202954753 640w
Ck2 front Clockwork Knight 2 Platformer More of the same. You can play as your rival from the first as well. Clockwork-Knight-2
Croc legend of the gobbos sega saturn Croc: Legend of the Gobbos 3D Platforman / FUCK YEAH CROC Awesome platformer from Fox Interactive and Argonaut. You'll have a really great time with this game, and the only downside is croc's control. (This fucker moves like a tank.) Also on PS1, PC and GameBoy Color. (GBC port is shitty as hell.) Croc 1 screenshot sega saturn
573947 54839 front D Survival Horror Warp's first US release is a good one. You're some chick who's looking around a mansion for her father whose gone insane and barricaded himself from anyone. Explore the place, and even have some oh shi- moments coming your way. Not the best game out there, more of an acquired taste depending on what kind of games you like. Also on PS1.
Gfs 54839 2 1
Darius front Darius Gaiden Shoot 'em up Fuck yeah, Darius. Guide your ship through multiple paths, fighting giant fish robots along the way. Also, this is one of ZUN's favorite games so all you Touhou friends owe an obligation to play this. T01fa2bfce8a9396314308a1ade3bab65
Dsavior Dark Savior Platformer / Puzzle / Action Unrelated to Landstalker, despite playing similarly at times. Noted for having segments of "platform, jumping, puzzle, adventure and fighting". Curiously each of these segments are seperated from each other. The most notable factor about this game are its multiple scenarios. Getting to each depends on the outcome the prologue scenario, which the player may deliberately or accidentally choose a course of action. This offers a neat bit of replay value. DarkSavior2
Daytonausasat front Daytona USA Racing DOODOODOODOODOO DAYTONAAAA remember that? Awesome racing game, also on the Dreamcast. Probably one of the best arcade racers for its time. Maybe even today. Daytona usa
Decathlete front DecAthlete Sport Athlete Kings in Europe Decathete
Ohshitson front Die Hard Arcade Beat 'em up Cops fight terrorists using hand-to-hand skills, along with whatever forms of weaponry they come across. Quick Time Events give you a potential heads up on enemies. The sequel is known as Dynamite Cop and on the Dreamcast. Die hard arcade
Dbzstudf

Dragonball Z The Legend

(EU)

Fighting Great DBZ game for everyone whos a fan of the show. Showed the whole story for the first time in America literally YEARS before the show even finished on our shores, though it seems the game was only released in Japan and Europe. Also available on the PS1, Japanese only. Dbzlegend
Fireandflames front Dragon Force RTS / Tactics Fuck year, Dragon Force. Nothing to do with that band (this came out years before), this strategy game has you choose one of 8 kingdoms to play as and follow each of their stories. Each kingdom has a certain type of troop they specialize with. Dragonforce-screen
Alwaysbet Duke Nukem 3D FPS Duke in his 3D outing. About as good as you'd expect on a PC, just with a Saturn controller. Always bet on Duke! Duke-nukem-3d
Ej2 front Earthworm Jim 2 Platformer A slight touch-up of the 16-bit versions, the most notable addition being the higher quality audio. Also features a really goofy looking CG Jim in certain cinematic scenes, but as 2D as ever in-game (Hey, it WAS the 90's. Everyone and their dog jumped on the 3D Gravytrain.). Earthworm-jim-2
197228 42088 front Enemy Zero Survival Horror Most surivial horror games back then were the same, walk around and look for shit in a overhead view, find items, and shoot some monsters once in a while. Enemy Zero is different from that. It has a similar plot like Alien, in which some aliens escape onto a space ship in the future. The thing about this game is that it uses little to no sight distance, limits on your saves and loads, and a difficult yet rewarding shooting system to scare the shit out of you. The only thing that lets you know a alien is there is a chime that gets stronger if you are near one. And no, there is no health bar. Once an alien touches you, you're fucked. The cinematics and voices are great for it's time and it really isn't obvious why this game is 3 fucking discs long. All in all, a great game by Kenji Eno and Warp.
Enemy-Zero-ScreenCap1
Powerslave PowerSlave FPS Known as "Exhumed" in Europe Exhumed2
Megamix front Fighters Megamix Fighting Exactly what it says on the box. There's also some unlockable characters and outfits as well. Fighters megamix profilelarge
Ga front Galactic Attack / RayForce Shoot 'em up A superb shooter for the Saturn with many power-ups and a lock on system. A game to try out if you're a fan for shooters or just own a Saturn in general. Ga2
Gatd Golden Axe: The Duel Fighting Not too shabby, but a curious genre shift. Give it a shot if you like the series. Just don't expect any beat 'em up-an action. Golden axe the duel
Guardian front Guardian Heroes Beat 'em up / RPG YES. You know it, you love it, if you don't, you're gonna. Choose your characters from an assorted cast. The game has multi-planar combat with groups of foes, but also makes things interesting by having multiple routes of stages to go to, meaning you have a whole variety of playthroughs to take on. The RPG elements are mainly just boosting your skills up through stats. It's all action otherwise. GuardianHeroes1
Agentgovertheretheprequel front House of the Dead Rail Shooter/Light Gun Shoot zombies, RELOAD, Suffer like G did, RELOAD, etc. Had an amusing spin-off known as Typing of the Dead on DC, which plays with similar stages, but typing stuff to shoot zombies, as opposed to using guns. House of the dead saturn
Idontwannaknow front

Keio Flying Squadron 2

(EU)

Platformer Sequel to the Sega CD shmup. Concentrates much more on platforming than shmup action though. You might like it more or less because of this, but it still manages to keep its Parodius-esque spirit alive and well. Keio2
Holyfuckawesone Loaded Top Down Shooter THIS GAME IS BRO AS FUCK. Bascially you play as one of a handful of characters killing guards and insane patients in some sort of mental hospital. THATS THE 1ST GODDAMMNED LEVEL. The music is annoying and repetitive as fuck, but extremely goddammned catchy. It has multiplayer, so you and a bro can fuck shit up together. Also on PS1 Loaded
Magicnightrayearth front Magic Knight Rayearth Action RPG FUCK YEAH. Don't know about MKR? You don't know shit about 90's anime. That aside, this action-RPG is relatively solid. Each of your girls has different specialties in weapons and elements, making for a slightly more strategic experience. Plays akin to a Zelda/Ys type of game. Has cutscenes along with that Working Designs charm. Notorious for taking FUCKING FOREVER to come out in US. Rayearth 790screen004
Msh cover Marvel Super Heroes Fighting Classic Capcom fightan but instead of X-Men you have more than just X-Men; stuff like Spiderman, Captain America, The Hulk, etc. Also in America on the PS1. Marvel super heroes screenshot
Mrbones Mr. Bones Platformer You play as a undead jazz blues musician who has to stop an undead group of assholes who want to take over the world. Of course like every platformer you gotta help Mr. Bones kick evils ass back to hell. A fun game for anyone into the platformer scene. Mr bones
Megaman8 MegaMan 8 Anniversary Collector's Edition Action / Platformer Megaman 8, same as the one on the Playstation, but with a few extras such as a mini-stages with Woodman and Cutman. Also, has a far superior Tengu Man stage song, though you're free to disagree. Really don't know why this version got cut out of The Anniversary Collection on PS2/GC/XB, its the superioir version. 1115095-mmh megaman8b super
Mmx3

Megaman X3

(EU)

Action / Platformer Mostly the same as the SNES version, but now has a few cutscenes, along with a delicious CD-quality soundtrack, with damn near every song being remixed or rearranged. Available on the PS1 but both of these remixed versions were released in Europe and Japan only. But dont get rageworthy yet, it was ported to the X Collection on GC/PS2 so you can see its enhanced version in America for the first time. Megamanx3screen
Mmx4 Megaman X4 Action / Platformer Unlike Megaman 8 its an exact port of the Playstation version. Still a fun game, has a great soundtrack. The voices are kind of hit and miss. But hey, it was a 90's Capcom game ya know? Also available on the Mega Man X Collection for PS2/Gamecube so u can nostalgia all over again. Mmx4zero
Mortal kombat trilogy saturn-1 Mortal Kombat Trilogy 2D Fighting All the characters from the first 3 MK games in one solid pack! Just look at dat list! Fun too if you love MK. Mortal-kombat-trilogy-character-select-screenshot
Nwdr Night Warriors: Darkstalker's Revenge Fighting Sequel to the first Darkstalkers. It has a crazy cast of characters that are really detailed. It's only on the Saturn so PS1 fans who want all 3 games will just have to get a Saturn. Night warriors darkstalkers revenge euro 950316
Nightsoriginal front Nights Into Dreams Action-Adventure Fly through rings and shit. Known for being one of the "killer apps" of the system back in the day. Has a pseudo-sequel of sorts on the Wii, but opinions are mixed on that one, while damn near everyone likes this.

Also ported to PS2 including a version with enhanced graphics, and the regular Saturn (crappy visuals) as well. Therefore is recommended to get the PS2 version. However, it's NTSC-J, which means Japan only. So it's harder to get in a physical form.

Saturn nights
Xmasnights front Christmas Nights Action-Adventure

Nights, but with Christmas themed outfits, rings, and stages. Happy Holidays!

You can play as Sonic in this one!

Pd front Panzer Dragoon Rail Shooter

You ride a dragon and shoot down enemies. Fuck yes. Each of these were known for being relatively hard to find, but also rather fun. Heavily inspired by Jean Giraud's Arzach, which explains the series' unique visual style. Movement is very similair to Star Fox in that only the boss battles are free range.

Also on the 2500 Collection for PS2 with enchanced graphics, as well as the option for the original graphics. 2500 collection games are Japan only though!

Pd-1
Pd2z front Panzer Dragoon II Zwei Rail Shooter Much more depth than the previous entry with alternate routes, extra attacks, and an evolving dragon that changes based on your performance. Panzer-dragoon-2-fortress
Pzs front Panzer Dragoon Saga RPG

Free roaming exploratory levels either on foot or by dragon with loads to do. Your dragon evolves here too like in Zwei and Orta. Battles are turn based but with real time manuvering that lets you angle attacks and perform certain strategies and may include multiple enemies that generally have multiple points which you can combat using your attacks, items, or berserks (spells).

This baby usually goes for over $250 on auctions, probably because of its rarity (10,000 or so copies produced). Then again, being one of the best RPGs ever made may also have something to do with that.

Pds1
Parodius Front EUR-PAL

Parodius

(EU)

Cute 'em up Konami's self-parody of Gradius. Features similar stages and enemy types, but disguised as much goofier variants, such as a cat-battleship, and sweets factory, and more. Has higher quality sound and multiplayer, IIRC. Parodius2b
Rayman Sega Saturn Boxart Rayman Platformer

Fuck year, Rayman! This game showed us all that 2D gaming wasn't dead. Fun as fuck but it can also be hard as hell sometimes. Has a awesome sequel. Game also available on PS1, and the Atari Jaguar.

Has some slight differences in that it uses some 3D effects at the end of the levels and has different backgrounds than PS1 on some levels.

Rayman dsi
Resat front Resident Evil Survival Horror About the same as the Playstation version. Its just as good, no complaints, so you can have a fun time killing zombies on your Saturn. SAT Zombie Wesker
Saturnbomberman Saturn Bomberman Action Hell yeah. Has a classic story mode that can be played with 1 or 2 players, Dinosaur helpers to ride on in place of Rooeys, and of course, battle mode! This battle mode is famous for having characters from different Hudson series, such as Master Higgins and Bonk, allowing 8 players, and even having online mode! Technically, you can play with 10 players, but this disables some of the power-ups, disables dinosaurs, and alters the stage and players slightly. It's up to you on whether you'll want to go with 8 or 10. Saturn Bomberman
Src front Sega Rally Championship Racing GAME OVER YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! That's really all you need to know about this game. Other then that, it's just a neat racing game, made none other by, Sega. Sega rally championship

Shinignforce3 front Shining Force 3 Tactical RPG

Came out in 3 scenarios. US only got Scenario 1. A fan translation exists for scenarios 2 and 3, but there are some minor bugs. While nearly all of the text is translated, it has yet to be "refined".

G04337bk0ab Sonic R Racing / Tails Doll / Can you feel the sunshine? This game isn't as good as other Sonic games but is still fun to play with others. It has a GOOD soundtrack (if you like Brit pop) and has an original take on its racing techniques rather than just being a rip off of Mario Kart or useing some shitty boards. Also on PC, and on the Gamecube's (PS2 in Europe/Japan as well) Sonic Gems Collection. FUN FACT: This is the game that created that whole creepypasta "Tails Doll/Can You Feel the Sunshine?" thing. SonicR--article image
Sonicjammin front Sonic Jam Platformer

Has the 4 main Genesis games (1, 2, 3, Sonic And Knuckles) along with full lock-on ability for Sonic and Knuckles. Works with 2 and 3 normally, and unlocks the Blue Sphere extended-mini-game with Sonic 1. There's also a 3D Sonic world to explore a bit, but nothing on Adventure's level.

Not actual ports, all the games were programmed from scratch for the Saturn! Sonic can spin-dash in sonic 1!

Sonic15
Spacehilk Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels FPS / Strategy A game that combines gameplay of Doom and acts similar to the old Aliens vs. Predators game. The only thing though is you have a squad with you in which you can customize your gear and fight creatures in a struggle for survival in a the Warhammer 40,000 like universe. Winscreen3
Street Fighter Alpha - Warriors Dreams (Front US-NTSC) Street Fighter Alpha: Warrior's Dreams Fighting First entry in the Alpha/Zero series. Very good, has alot of new characters not seen in Street Fighter II and has great 2D graphics. Also on PS1, GameBoy Color, Arcade, PSN, and PS2 via the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology collection. Street Fighter Alpha - Warriors Dreams 004 (US-NTSC)
Datakuma Street Fighter Alpha 2 Fighting The story of Street Fighter's origins is told through Ryu fighting an evil sonmabitch named Akuma. You also get some Final Fight characters thrown in for some reason. It's on the Alpha Anthology Collection on the PS2 as well as the PS1, and SNES for a weird reason. Get it if you love Street Fighter and button mashin'. Named Street Fighter ZERO 2 in Japan. Better name if you ask me since it's a prequel. Alpha is the first letter in the greek alphabet, and is thus a fine name for a prequel. Screen 1
SegaSaturn SFCollectionboxart 160w Street Fighter Collection Fighting A collection of Street Fighter games. Probably the only explanation I can give, but still awesome because of that. 3 street-fighter-2-plus-champion-edition-3

Vfr front Virtua Fighter Remix Fighting Same as the original, but with more polygon improvements, texture mapping, and improved gameplay. 32xvirtuafighter
Vf2 front Virtua Fighter 2 Fighting It has better graphics, models, more players and stages than the first game (hey, it's a fighter, of course the sequels improve upon the prequels). Also has a port on the Genesis, if you like 2D fighting ports. 03c
Virturafighterkids Virtua Fighter Kids Fighting Cutesy Virtua Fightan. Just what you'd expect from the series. Supposedly, it was actually made to test a new facial engine at the time, but was entertaining enough to become its own game. A bit more upbeat than 2 in style, music, and gameplay. Virtua fighter kids 004
Von front Virtual On: Cyber Troopers 3D Fighter

This game is the shit! Take control of a handful of robots and unleash the fury!!! Each robot has a unique arsenal of weapons to demolish your opponent in an awesome 3D fighter. In order for them to port this to the Saturn they had to get rid of crap like framerate and resolution, but don't let that stop you.


Even so, if you can't find the arcade version of this game, then this will do nicely.

Longer load time and more slowdown than PS1, but it has extras and such (Protip: Save to external RAM cart to avoid slowdown).

Deep Fear (J) - Front Deep Fear Survival Horror Very similar to Resident Evil, if not as advanced, except that you are underwater and instead of fighting zombies you fight mutants. It's definitely fun if you liked Resident Evil or just like survival horror. Beware, you can't fuck around in this game since you ARE UNDERWATER AFTER ALL. You need oxygen to keep yourself alive which is kind of a hassle, but it works.Released in Europe and Japan only. Also Europe's final Saturn game as well. So this does have English in it (probably).

A Shin Megami Tensei game. Take control of a bunch of hax0rs called the "Spookers" and go into the intrawebs and fight against John the demons using demons of your own (on the internets of course) via GUMP (some Demon Summoning Program shaped like a gun like Persona 3). Like any SMT game you can gain loyalty over demons, install software, and fuse demons.

T19902gfront Metal Black Shoot 'em Up Rumored to be a sequel to Darius II that got its own setting because it was too dark for its own good. Still a damn good game on its own, albeit, strongly unforgiving; for one, bombing drains all your power and you don't get anything more than that narrowish twin shot to pick off enemies that come from all directions. Special note: this game may also have one of the biggest mindfuck endings in any video game ever Metal black

Night Striker S SS A Night Striker S Rail Shooter A humble, yet nonetheless breathtaking rail shooter by Taito.

234 Policenauts Adventure Basically one of Trolljimas early works before Metal Gear Solid (not Metal Gear the original, that came way before). I mean really, it even has Meryl Silverburgh in the screenshot. But a very good game nonetheless. On PS1 as well, with a fan translation.

Princess Crown SAT cover Princess Crown Action-RPG You start Chapter 1 as an ass-kicking princess who travels around her kingdom saving people. As you progress, you can unlock more characters who have their own unique stories. Battles unfold in real-time combat on a 2D plane where you can jump, slash your sword, parry and shit; plus, you utilize a ring system a la Secret of Mana to do stuff like use items and cast abilities. If you loved Odin Sphere and Muramasa, you must play this.Sadly, no translation patch exists (yet). Designed by the Vanillaware team -- who were still part of Atlus at the time -- and published by SEGA, so the IP belongs to three separate companies now. Later ported to the PSP, which is also JP only. Princesscrown-12
Radiant silvergun Radiant Silvergun Shoot 'em up A slow-paced yet very challenging vertical shmup with a shockingly dark story and amazing boss battles. Widely considered as one of the best games of the genre. 2895266139 5b3cb3d4b7 m

Sfzero3 Street Fighter Zero 3 Fighting

Basically Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the Saturn. Same game as the PS1/Dreamcast just on the Saturn. It would be worth a find since it is pretty good.

Ingrid isn't in this version fuckhead -->

Shoot 'em up

Easily one of the best shmups ever. Fucking gorgeous 3D and excellent music. Best played on the Saturn as it has less slow down than the Playstation version. 2896106282 56925f409a m
Twinkle Twinkle Star Sprites Shoot 'em up CUTENESS OVERWHELMING~! A cast of whimsical characters compete against one another for a single wish from the great Twinkle Star. Mixes the chaotic shmup environment with competitive puzzle elements for a wonderfully potent concoction. While there is single-player, this game was MADE to be played with a friend!

The most complete of all TSS releases. Includes an exclusive character, voice work for EVERYTHING and a Sailor Moon intro (D'AWWW)!

Ss g vandal heart Vandal Hearts SRPG Baddass SRPG that plays more like Shining Force than FFT with rather linear character progression and mission selection. Still fucking good though. Also on PS1 Vandal-hearts-flames-of-judgment-20090630114147423
Wachenroder-Saturn-JAP Wachenroder SRPG A heavily story-driven steampunk story with music by none other than Ian McDonald of King Crimson. Although it hasn't been translated, there are full translations of the script on the Internet. A must-play for fans of the SPRG. Wachenrder

X-Men VS Street Fighter X-Men vs. Street Fighter Fighting This is basically what the title says. It's really fun with in game tag team unlike the Playstation version. Unfortunately, unlike the Playstation version, this one never came out across our shores so it might be a hard find. Xman
