Episode Notes:

1. Saturn footage is always captured on real hardware.

2. I plan to do this with all the game systems I own.

3. Magic Knight Rayearth was in my original Saturn Awards episode as the best RPG. After splitting the RPG/STRATEGY/ADVENTURE categories up and adding Grandia and Vandal Hearts, I had to slide it down the list a tad. I still think it's a great game.

4. This is the original draft before I edited it to fit the 45-minute goal I was shooting for. After receiving numerous emails, PMs, and DM's, I decided to finish that original edit and put it up.

5. This episode still doesn't have the "Best Peripheral" category I had originally intended. I never finished it in the script so it remains cut. Runner up would have been Netlink, while the winner would have been the 4MB RAM Expansion.

    I loved Sega Rally so much I bought the very first available WRX in North Carolina in 2001. It’s still my daily driver. I know it wasn’t in the game but it sparked my passion for rally cars when I got it on that Christmas Day in the late 90s.

    I'm so pleased to see you included Nights on your list, as it wasn't included in the other video. I just absolutely love it so much, in fact there's little I enjoy more than it after 25 years. What's so satisfying to me is that a lot of PSX and N64 owners never understood it, and neither did much of the gaming media (Gamesmaster, 86%, please!). The Saturn is full of some wondrous stuff. It's still my favourite machine of all time.

    The 3D control pad works like magic with Powerslave! You have complete control on how fast your character pivots, which makes aiming so much easier than the standard pad.
  • @lucadipaolo1997
    Your picks here are excellent, especially the two for Best Music. Panzer Dragoon is easily in the top 5 best soundtracks ever for me, films included. Glad you released this extended version, I'll have to check out Pandemonium, it seems very fun.

    the category transition music and visual makes me feel something primal and beautiful o_o
  • @leeg12000
    Really appreciate the great content again this year SLX. Always learning new things from your videos. Merry Christmas from England brother.
  • @fritzthecat8158
    Your channel is what finally made me take the plunge into saturn collecting last month. I cant thank you enough sega saturn RULES
  • @Carbine64
    Just shows how much you love this console. A whole 40 minute video discussing the games you love wasn't enough so you added some more 😂
  • @Zellio2011
    I was an N64, PC, and at the tail end, a ps1 kid but the saturn is my favorite console to collect for today
  • @low_re8094
    Respect for creating the impossible video. Saturn's library is too deep for me to choose only one or two favorites in each genre, especially shmups.
