I"ve always wanted a 3DO. I keep hoping I'll come across one in a Goodwill because they'll think it's an old CD or DVD player. Hasn't happened yet, lol.
The library does look pretty good compared to a lot of the more rare consoles around that time. But better than the Saturn? I'm not entirely sure because I don't have a 3DO, but I have looked through the library due to my interest in the console and it does seem like that to me. The games that interest me in the 3DO library were:
I'm sure there are some 3DO gems I haven't even heard of. But I know that I could come up with a list of Saturn games I enjoy that's much larger than that. The 3DO had even less third-party support than the Saturn did. Where's the long-standing franchises like Castlevania or Mega Man? Where's the licensed games like X-Men or WWF? And at the same time it's not like 3DO was one the same first-party developer level as Sega or Nintendo.
The 3DO and heck, Even Panasonic threw around many First PArty games. The 3DO has crap tons of third party support. Many long standing franchises, heck you names just a small chunk already. The 3DO has over 300 games, the Saturn had????? 205?I"ve always wanted a 3DO. I keep hoping I'll come across one in a Goodwill because they'll think it's an old CD or DVD player.

the 3DO is an awesome console, I've always wanted one, but I'll have to disagree with you TC I think both the Saturn and N64 would winrilpasIN what category?
[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"][QUOTE="rilpas"]the 3DO is an awesome console, I've always wanted one, but I'll have to disagree with you TC I think both the Saturn and N64 would winrilpasIN what category? well.... in quality games for one and in variety I laugh. Especially at variety. THe 3DO has more than both the N64 and Saturn. It also seems to have more quality games as well than the N64, with the Saturn depending on genre.

Games that have decent or above praise universally from reviewers and users. More variety more quality, you guys just know nothing about the 3Do because you nver took the time to buy one when it's price dropped.I laugh. Especially at variety.

I doubt the 3DO blaster would work nowadays (even if you could plug it into your motherboard, something I seriously doubt, though Im not sure what connection it has) , one would need an old computer from 15 years ago for it to work. as for the 3DO having a better library than the Saturn or N64, from my (limited) experience with the console, no way.yes.which ones? It has the exact same number of shooters as the Saturn. Fighting? It has great variety in fighters. Althoug no licensed wrestling games.[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"][QUOTE="rilpas"]does the 3DO have any 3D fighting games or shmups?rilpas

Other than maybe 3 games I don't have, I have 27 Shooting games, and they are all listed on Gamespot/Ign/Gamefaqs which I checked each individually to check for missing games. Of that there are 30 3DO shooters and 30 Satrun shooters EXCLUDING imports, because if you use imports that means the Saturn had no games. Which I also have most of, I have 20 Sega Saturn Shooters.

[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"][QUOTE="rilpas"] excluding imports is a dirty trick though , I would be quite happy if you included imports for both systems.
No it's not. If I included imports Saturn would win shooting (well scrolling shooting) and the 3DO would win in almost every other genre due to it's massive amount of Japanese only games. nonsense, the Saturn has more games, with or without the imports, its as simple as that. as for the fighting games, thats nonsense again Primal Rage is a game with pre renderd sprites, and the game is a 2D game as well. Shadow uses digitized sprites , as does way of the warrior Ballz uses pre renderd sprites. do you look at your TV when you play games? Ballz is widely called a 3D game do research. So do Sha- actualy why not look at some games instead of graphics? 3D means move in all direction like MOrtal Kombat deceptions=These games are 3D. The Saturn would not have more games in quite a few genres with imports. The Saturn and 3DO almost have the exact same library size U.S. only.[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"] No it's not.

The Saturn would not have more games in quite a few genres with imports. The Saturn and 3DO almost have the exact same library size U.S. only. two problems with that statement 1 ) thats not what he asks for , what he said was "and by 3D fighters I mean games like Tekken, DOA and Virtua Fighter", and those exist on the Saturn (well, Tekken doesnt , but there are others) 2) even if you assume that what you said is true, that still means the majority of the games you mentioned are not 3D in any way. so yeah , you pretty much ruined your own argument there. as for the other point, as far as I know, the 3DO has just over 200 games in its library, if youre claiming it has more games than the Saturn , can you provide a credible source for that claim , because Ive got a feeling that your point about the number of games is the same as your comment about fighting games[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"] I laugh.

I'd say the 3DO is barely even worth owning forget it actually being better than anything.

well, saying the 3DO is not worth owning is also wrong imo , its a good console, its just the idea of it being better than the Saturn or N64 is alien to meI'd say the 3DO is barely even worth owning forget it actually being better than anything.

Or you don't own a 3Do, never looked up its games, are a troll, and the fact everyon on this thread is making arguments based on limited experiences. Guees that means the N64 is bad then as I only played the top 15 games everyon talked about and only 20 hidden gems. Only 35 games? lol. Your logic fails pretty badly here. I also doubt you know what a watara is so even though it's bad, you still have no valid opinion of it.I'd say the 3DO is barely even worth owning forget it actually being better than anything.

Yep ignore my list and look at his. The proceed to not look up the games he listed, then proceed to pretend those are the only games when you said 4 each. b_tch get slapped for bad trolling.Shockwave-DASH
"Last edited on june 24th."
Wow, you said four the first time, nice stealth troll. Shockwave-DASH
Also you said give examples I gave examples.
Also you can't count. you said 3 games each when I put in 4.
Also lol at thinking MYst and Outofthisworld/flashback are the same games as the genesis versions. Fail 4 times in a row. wow. Shockwave-DASH
