Sega saturn compilation wouldnt that be cool

Now for the record I don't care what anyone says sega can release a saturn compilation I say its only a matter of time before they do.I'm sure they would make some money off of it and I think they know that.

Still when and if they do release a compilation what games would you like to check out for the first time or again.

I would love to seesega rally championship,Virtua fighter 2,Clockwork knight 1 and 2,panzer dragoon 1 and 2 and saga,shining force 3,Bug and bug too,knights,virtua fighter,Dragon force,Astal,and Gaurdian heros.

It would be a great idea. I'd be interested in playing some of the god Saturn games. The only problem is, it's just not too practical. Those games were released on CDs, so they're quite a bit bigger than other games that tend to come on collections. Essentially, a compilation would probably only have about 2 or 3 games on the disc at the most.

Still, I'd love to see it happen.

SEGA is never gonna release a Saturn compilation (if this is even possible given the problematic issue of Saturn emulation) just as you won't ever see Sony or Nintendo releasing a PS or N64 compilations. Why would they ever bunch their games together when they can sell them on their own for more profit?

Many Saturn games like SEGA Rally, Dragon Force, NiGHTS: Into Dreams, Last Bronx, Virtual-ON, Panzer Dragoon, Dynamite Deka etc. have already been released on their own for the PS2 in Japan, and I don't see this changing anytime soon.

I mean Capcom has released various compilations of their old Arcade games, but this doesn't mean you're ever going to see a compilation of their 32-bit works. Or can you imagine Konami releasing a PS compilation including Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Dracula X, Gradius Gaiden etc.

Not gonna happen when they can either get more money off selling them on their own, or at best doing a compilation of a single series, like they have done already with MGS and Dracula X.

I say its only a matter of time before it happens.Also I would like to point out that although the games were released on a cd many of those games didn't come close to taking up all that space.The only one that really comes to mind is panzer dragoon saga which used 4 cd's.Not to mention they have methods of compressing data these days especially when it comes to older games.

The standard x box 360 dvd can hold 8.5 gigs of data.I bet that they can cram at least 5 to 7 games on one those discs. Heck they could release a saturn compilation in volumes.That would be cool too and I would buy it.

Still back to the one thing its only a matter of time before they do it.Even though the saturn had like 8 cpu's which is why the emulation is complicated those cpu's are nothing caompared to today's.Also I would like to point out that many of those 32-bit titles didn't take as many people to craft either.Whats my point you ask.....well that tech is old and inferior and these modern programers shouldn't have any problem doing it.Also the ps 3's cell processor is way more complicated than any of the 8 cpu's the saturn used so like I said I say its only a matter of time.

Also if you want to get super technical the ps 3 blu rays could hold many more games than the 360 dvds could.I bet if they tried they could cram close to 30 games on one those things if they tried.

Not only is it apparently very tough to emulate the Saturn, I jsut dont think theres a market for it, at least in the US. I'm sure some of us here on GS would buy a Saturn Compilation for PS3 or 360, but I dont know how many would.

Thats a great idea. Never thought of that. Im sure todays consoles can handle it. Ive never had a chance to try Sonic Jam and though its really just a compilation of the Genesis games (which I already have) Ive always wanted to play that 3D Sonic world with all the diffrent challenges.

Bug always seemed fun to me toobut again I never played it. I would definitly buy a Saturn Compilation.

Yeah thats what I said above...Sonic Jam.

This. If it ever happens it won't be anytime soon.

As for me wanting one, like any other compilation, it depends on what is it in. If Dragon Force, Lunar 1 and 2, Panzer Dragoon, Virtua Cop 1 and 2 (with the system supporting guns), and Dynamite Deka were on it hell yes I would buy it. Of course, I would buy those games alone if I found them for a good price on a system I have. Which would support Panzer's posts as to why they would never do it.

i just want panzer dragoon saga,shining the holy ark,shining force3,burning rangers, i can go all day the sega saturn was my fav console. i own over 80sega saturngames.

Well, let's take the "emulation" issue out of the question in regards to Saturn. You can say that they could charge X amount of dollars a pop on xbox live arcade or nintendos VC, however, the fact that they could have done this with the recent Genesis collection makes me think otherwise. One, if the disc was done right, people would be willing, imo, to spend a full $60 on a disc that may contain 10(or whatever it may be) full fledged games. Two, I can't see the sales of VC-type releases making that much profit anyways--because of the scene starting with an E and ending in an N. In this respect, you'd think sega would want to release a saturn comp, or two or three of them.

It seems you're all still forgetting the fact that SEGA has and is still currently releasing Saturn games as stand alone releases.

SEGA hasn't even released any Arcade game compilation besides their Memorial Selection and the only System-16 compilation had only two titles: SDI and Quartet.

A SS compilation is not gonna happen, period. Apply this same reasoning for any other company and you'd see how silly it is to expect this in the first place. No company would every bunch up their hits from the 32-bit era in a compilation unless it covers only a single game series.

I think a more realistic idea is getting the big games individually through something like xbox live. There are romours of DC games going to PSN, and almost confirmed sonic adventure xbox live, it's the buzz at seganerd, so bigger saturn titles going there would make sense, honestly I'd like to see it on the virtual console for wii, along with dc, maybe next gen, that is soon. BTW compilation games from CD games have happend, there was mega man Xcollection and half of those games are from PSone(That would be 3).

This generation? Sure they probably won't. Next one it could easily happen though.

Sure, Sega are releasing Saturn games on the PS2 but that wouldn't stop them from releasing a compilation in the future. The Virtual Console didn't stop them from releasing the Mega Drive collection for PS3 and 360 which contains over 40 games for $40-50 (now $20 if you're lucky).

I can easily see them doing something in the future if not at least have both Dreamcast and Saturn games as DD on PSN, XBL, Wiiware or Steam.

I hope it never happens. I've bought some of the Saturns most expensive games over the last few months. I just bought Guardian Heroes on eBay yesterday. All these compilations and rereleases do is decrease the value of the original release, as proven with FFVII, Super Mario RPG and Castlevania SOTN when they were released on VC and PSN. If you want to play Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force 3, Guardian Heroes etc etc, get yourself over to eBay and get the credit card ready. You're gonna need it, lol.x-2tha-z

My take is that he doesn't want his investment hurt by the fact they could be purchased via a cheaper alternative.

On topic. I would personally like to see a Saturn Compilation. I have a Saturn yes, but a paltry of a few games which isn't a very good collection anyway. I want to play all those games i missed out due to the PS1. But as said above, its going to be quite a while before we see Saturn games reissued for sale in compilations and DL.

I've been thinking about getting a Saturn for a while now. I wish all the Saturn remakes on the Ps2 in Japan would come here but thats just not going to happens. On a compilation I would like to see all the Panzer Dragoon games and 3 or 4 of the RPG's that was exclusively for the Saturn.

While yes it's true that a Saturn compilation would sell pretty lousy over in America, I hope they don't skip over porting some classic games for PSN or XBLA. (Preferably both to get more people!) Though some games like Panzer Dragoon Saga the source code is lost. Which means that they should do a a enhanced remake of the game akin maybe to the Street Fighter II Turbo HD remix game. Maybe put it on PS3 with the other 3 Panzer Dragoon games. A blu ray disc can hold a lot of information Sega! I think the people would buy a Panzer Dragoon Collection for PS3 and XBOX 360.

"Also port Radiant Silvergun to PSN and XBLA! People will DEF buy that!"

It would be a great idea. I'd be interested in playing some of the god Saturn games. The only problem is, it's just not too practical. Those games were released on CDs, so they're quite a bit bigger than other games that tend to come on collections.
