I've ben itching to get a Saturn for so long now, that i've digested a ton about it. Such a brilliant console, and the best 5th gen console to get these days because, not only is it built like a tank (probably the best disk based build, 2nd only to the Gamecube) but a good chunk of its games have remained exclusive and they have aged gracefully because the tight gameplay is still tight and fun, never mind the 2D bliss of games. PS1/N64 games have ben literally ported all over the place, on PSN, collections, VC, etc.
Hell, i've even made a list of cheap (1-5$, max 15$) games, but excellent ones to get:
Galactic Attack, Legend of Oasis, Daytona USA Championship, Virtua Cop 1&2, Sega Rally Championship, Fighters Megamix, Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, Astal and obviously a crap load of 2D fighting games. And Elevator Actions Returns & Shinobi Legions (these two are in the 40-50$ price range).
But man, it's crazy how much price difference there is between the japanese and the NA/PAL version of a lot of games. That's why i've refrained from getting a Saturn, until i have enough money saved. I'm willing to spend up to 50-60$ on any game that appeals to me, but no way am i spending more.
