5th generation consoles are not often spoken of highly when it comes to graphics. I happen to disagree, and find a ton of charm and appeal in the way these games looked. Here, I go over some of the best looking games for my favorite console, the Sega Saturn.

  • I was poor as a child and I didn't have many toys and things like that, but my family got me a Saturn on clearance for my birthday with a bunch of games so the Saturn is my #1 console. I thank god everyday for such a great family.

    The Saturn was such a underrated and overlooked console. I got mine at launch and when some friends would come over it would surprise them how much they ended up loving it and many bought one because of it.

    Treasure was on fire during the Sega era. Miss those guys they did good work <3
  • @mastershake4145
    Every time I think of the Saturn and this era of sega in particular, I imagine there's a parallel dimension out there somewhere in which Sega's consoles didn't suffer the cruel fate they didn't deserve.

    I like how the developers of the 3d games made smart use of 2D planes/trickery and focused what power the Saturn had on characters. Worked great in tandem with crt.

    One showpiece title for Saturn’s 3D polygon graphics is Zero Divide: The Final Conflict, a fighting game that somehow manages to pull off polygon shading while in high-res 480/60 mode. This was considered impossible and even Sega couldn’t pull it off. The game also features extremely solid walled stages with no glitches or drop-outs. Very impressive work from Zoom, who really managed to use the system’s full hardware to great effect.

    GUARDIAN HEROES IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST SATURN GAMES EVER
  • @abu269
    I pulled out my old Saturn last month and started playing Guardian Heroes again! That game is timeless, still as enjoyable as when I first played it in the 90's!
  • @killjoysthename
    Im grateful for Sega Lord. I never knew the Saturn had such a delicious library of games. I need to hunt for one now
  • @jkemp6791
    I know I’ve praised your Saturn representation on this channel before, but wow, what an incredible episode, SLX! My goal is to own every game you mention in this episode. I have about half already. Luckily, I have every shooter mentioned except for Cotton 2. Unfortunately, the RPGs are gonna hurt, as I only have Panzer Dragoon Saga. This is now my Sega Saturn Buying Guide. I’m gonna watch this over and over. Thanks so much for the content, brother.

    SNK are almost always great with not only the technical side of visuals, but the artistic side as well. Dead or Alive games are usually the most visually impressive fighters on whatever system their on. Also, Groove On Fight (and the Power Instinct series as a whole) is insanely underrated.
  • @gustopheles
    The graphics of Dead or Alive were crazy detailed. from each character having actual fingers to the girls batting their eyelashes, the whole experience is smooth as hell.
  • @HeadcolorsTV
    I’ve been wanting to gradually build my Saturn collection, and I have your recommendations to thank and refer to as I go (I collect to play). Your channel rips & tears. Keep up the great work.
  • @DreamcastQ
    Great video to show anyone who says all Saturn games were ugly! I still love this old machine, warts & all. Love the 5th generation!
  • Dude, thank you so much for showing off Rabbit. I had no idea that game existed and now I'm freaking loving it. It's so fun and charming.
  • @johnhearn7329
    I had Scorcher! I forgot all about that game! Which is strange because I do remember liking it! But for some strange reason it skipped my mind! Virtua Fighter 2 was technical master piece moving at a smooth 60 fps! Sega Rally and Panzer Dragon 2 were graphically impressive! Nights was phenomenal! X-Men vs StreetFighter, Marvel vs Streetfighter and DarkStalkers 3 were arcade perfect thanks to the 4 MegaByte RAM Cart! I remember I had to get the converter cartridge to play these incredible games! Guardian Heros and Dragon Force were insane games that immensely enjoyed!
  • @maxmatson1578
    Mad props for mentioning "Indy 500" and wishing for it to be transferred to Saturn!👍
  • @sonicmario64
    I'm actually kind of glad that you're able to show respect for "Sonic R", since I honestly don't find it to be one of the worst Sonic games ever made, and it was also one of the first video games that I ever heard actual lyrics in its music (not counting the arcade versions of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Revolution X", of course).
  • @reagandow850
    Like and comment before I even start watching the video. I just love your shows man. Thanks! Edit: I feel a multi part episode coming on here.
  • @greenEYEDdj
    Best. Video. Ever. Got me right in the feels. We need a Saturn mini with all these games.
