Fantastic video man. I'm so new to the Saturn and I'm just in awe of its lineup of fighting games.

MvC2 is my favorite Dreamcast fighter, despite the presence of Soul Calibur and Powerstone and Project Justice. MvC2 is just the finest 2d fighter of all time. Favorite Saturn fighter is probably Virtual Fighter 2. Such sweet simplicity. I also really liked Fighting Vipers, Last Bronx, and the X-Men and Marvel Capcom fighters, never got to play the vs series on Saturn as I never imported, no ram cart. edit: as the video went on I could tell he was going to go with the Saturn, which is awesome and it is very close and that is a fine choice. But in that early neo-geo section, man I would rather play Last Blade and Mark of the Wolves forever on Dreamcast than any of that Fatal fury or king of Fighters crap on Saturn. Sometimes variety isn't enough, especially with fighting games. I would have gone with Dreamcast.

Great video - really enjoyed it! ✊

Well done and entertaining. How about a shoot 'em up comparison?

man the art in those old Capcom fighters still llooks so gorgeous

Xmen VS Street Fighter was awesome, though my love for Street Fighter 3 means Dreamcast wins but we are talking a real close battle, like 51% to 49% in Dreamcast favour.

The Dreamcast was a dream for me as a fighting game fan. Just the Original Controller was not a perfect match, but there was a fantastic Arcade Stick and many alternative Controllers. Another great genre on the Dreamcast were Lightgun games. The Saturn had some too, but after the Namco Lightgun Shooters on PlayStation 1 and 2, the Dreamcast library was the best.

IMO, this is a tide for me. I couldn't have one without the other and that is why I own both consoles. You made a great case for both. Great video!

Dead or Alive 2 was/is my favorite fighter by far

Slight correction: Guilty Gear X didn't run at a higher resolution than most 2D games at that point, it ran at a higher res than all of them: it was the first ever 480p 2D game period. Prior to its release, only the character select screen of Cotton Boomerang had been natively rendered in 480p.

People seem to be confused. Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Capcom vs SNK 2 do run at 640x480, however the only things that are actually displaying at that resolution are the backgrounds and the effects. Unfortunately the sprites are heavily upscaled and that's why you see too much pixelation on them. The same applies to a lot of 2D PC games back in the day (sure you could run them at the highest res of the time, but pixelation will still be there). Guilty Gear X, on the other hand, is a game that features everything rendered for that high resolution. No pixelation at all. So yeah, Guilty Gear X was the first 2D game of its kind (graphics wise). That game by itself saved the 2D games back then from being seen as "obsolete" and more developers kept on in that path (like Examu, Vanilla and etc)

@ItPutsTheLotionOnItsSkin

Ridiculous comment. Toonstruck (1995) on the PC is 2D and 480p. That's *FIVE YEARS* before Guilty Gear X. Another is Leisure Suit Larry 7 (1996). Both are 2D point and click games, but they wasn't even the first 2D games to use 480p on PC. There's also a Japanese computer called the PC98 that ran many 2D games at _higher_ res than 480p before the DC was even released. By the time Guilty Gear X came out in 2000, 480p was low res by PC standards. I was gaming at 1024x768 on PC then, practically a "HD" resolution, although they were all 3D games because i wasn't in to 2D. Saying GGX is the first ever 480p 2D game is laughable and flat out wrong. So it's not even remotely close to being the first, but it was possibly the first _true_ 480p 2D *fighter* on console where the sprites and backgrounds are all 640x480 (480p), because as The True Bro pointed out above, other 2D fighters did use that res before GGX.

Totally agree with this. Nice work.

For Saturn, the KOF and Real Bout Fatal Fury series are my favourite fighting games. For Dreamcast, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Tech Romancer.

Dead Or Alive 2 and the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure game are the first time I've ever knew about the Franchises. And the first Soul Calibur is the first game I've knew before the sequels. I've really wanted a Dreamcast to get the game.

Yes! Finally a video that noticed and went into detail on how the Sega Saturn version of Street Fighter Zero 3 is the best version . The input was also better as well. This is the version I hoped Capcom re releases on the Switch and current platforms.

Saturn SFZ3 wins over the Dreamcast version because of a very important detail: Gameplay wise it retains the feeling of the original CPS2 version. IIRC Saturn version uses the old 2D hit boxes for hit detection, while the Dreamcast uses some sort of polygon technique for this (altering all moves in some degree) and they also did some adjustments to the gameplay on purpose as some sort of "rebalancing", while the Saturn stayed close to the original.

I had MKII for Saturn as a kid, and it was by far my favorite version at the time. I sadly traded it away and haven’t played that version in years but I’d like to see if it still holds up as my mind remembers it.

This was very informative and entertaining with a great topic, thanks for this video. I had a bias for the Saturn due to 2D and the quantity of titles in its lifespan but would have accepted a different verdict as the DC library still is awesome.

I have had both machines since they came out . You just cannot compare 32 to 128 bit , but they both have a very special place in my heart!

Marvel superhero for Sega Saturn can use the one the 1mb ram card to fix the slow down and add more animation, action replay plus works as well and this works on us release and Japanese release

While I prefer the Dreamcast because of it's unique 3D offerings + Capcom vs SNK & SF3, the strengths of the Saturn cannot be invalidated. Great comparison video, I really enjoyed this and will use it for reference for games that I'd like to return to.

Last Bronx is an underrated game.

4:38 "THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE".

Anyone know what game the music was from in the 3D game section?

I had both systems, and for me the biggest difference was the Dreamcast having good joysticks available upon release. I immediately bought 2 of them so my brothers and friends could all play too. I could never find a good joystick for Saturn at any of the stores around me, which was really frustrating! And as an Arcade rat, that's how I was used to playing so I absolutely needed one. As far as library is concerned, I'd say it's a tie as well - but I really wish I could have played Vampire Savior with a proper stick, that game really needed one.

Gotta be DC imo. Soul Calibur, Capcom Vs SNK 2, Guilty Gear X, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, DOA2, SF3 and the almighty Power Stone blew anything the Saturn had out of the water.
