Bernie Stolar took over as CEO of Sega of America, he pushed a policy/idea that "RPGs and 2-D games don't sell" he refused to release the 2Meg and 4meg ram expansion carts needed for the near-perfect amazing Capcom and SNK fighting games, so those popular arcade games couldn't be localized, long delays and intial refusal to support or do US localization of any RPGs (a few did much later). he infamously said "Saturn is not our future" killing third party developer confidence in the console. then Final Fantasy 7's success proved Stolar wrong! So Stolar was a HUGE factor of why the Saturn did poorly (along with sub-par 3rd party support in the US)

I must have worked on my parents for a whole 18 months and finally my dreams came true on Christmas Day 1995. I have mixed feelings about choosing the Saturn over the PS1 and N64. It may have been short lived but for 2 years it gave me some of my best gaming memories. The blow was somewhat softened due to my growing interest in the RTS genre which was going through a golden age in the late 90s. I had almost completely abandoned my Saturn by 1998 and was investing all my time in StarCraft and Total Annihilation and so sadly barely noticed it’s demise. The only time I noticed was when I played the N64 at my friends’ and we had a blast playing Goldeneye and Mario Kart. We did have some fun playing Guardian Heroes a couple of times.

I loved my Saturn. I never should have gotten rid of it. It was the perfect system for importing fighting games and shooters like Radiant Silver Gun. Just needed to be marketed properly and a stronger focus on 3D games. If SEGA of Japan could’ve just gotten over their egos because SEGA of America found success where they failed, we may still be playing SEGA consoles. As always, another brilliant video from Madame Decade! You are an unbelievable talent.

Look at Virtua Fighter 2, Dead or Alive, Fighting Vipers, Nights Into Dreams, House of the Dead, the Panzer Dragoon series, Daytona USA… Granted, most of these games are Sega. Dead or Alive is Tecmo, but it’s built on the same engine as Virtua Fighter 2. Radiant Silvergun still looks good to this day. Tomb Raider was good on the system. Resident Evil was good. Doom, Quake. All I’m saying is that 3D games were possible on the Saturn. They were often pretty well done.

Why did the Saturn fail (at least in the US?) Answer - $299 The Playstation coming in at $100 less at launch plus Sega deciding to release the Saturn early and only at a few select retailers (which pissed off many other US retailers) guaranteed that Sega would have an uphill battle just getting the consoles into stores at all! Sega didn't just shoot themselves in the foot with the US launch of the Saturn, they blew off one leg at the knee!

@lazarushernandez5827

2 жыл бұрын

Don't forget how Stolar blew off its other leg by stating it wasn't Sega's future. At that point in time, the Saturn was falling behind, but it did have diverse and unique titles as well as still getting ports of games that the Playstation got; it had a niche that it could have rode out in the West for another year or so. Once that announcement came out, developers who might have considered making a new Saturn decided to stop production or shift it to the other consoles. Consumers who had just seen the 32X come and go within a year or two, would have held back as well.

"Frinton on Sea, we don't even allow buses at the gate" LOL!

I really think if the Saturn had been developed as 3d powerhouse like the PS1 from the get go, that alone could have undone all the other mistakes in this video because it would have been easier to develop for(in theory) and thus had a longer lifespan as 3D was the new norm. Sega could have reduced the cost of the console to compete directly with the PS1 and being easier to develop for means more quality games faster. The sad thing is the Dreamcast could have been a huge comeback had they delayed launch until around the PS2 release date, thus alowing the console to also be a dvd player, which is hard to understate how big that was in 2000. DVD players were still a hot product and having your gaming console double as a dvd player was a massive selling point.

Something else to add is the decision to use quadrilaterals instead of polygons to make up 3D objects in the Saturn's VDP1 graphics processor. A wise decision in the early 90s when computing power was limited and quads had a lower cost compared to polys (1 quad instead of 2 polys). However that quickly became irrelevant with increasing processing power and everyone went toward easier to use polygons. It made converting games to the Saturn even more complex and caused issues with transparencies which GameHut explained on his channel covering Sonic R. In some ways, a dual processor system made the Saturn a console ahead of its time and criminally under-rated.

Sorry, I know this is nitpicky but quads are polygons, you mean tris(triangles).

It’s a dam shame the Saturn never caught on because it has so many cool games and hardware

The Saturn had the best controller ever. It's my go-to controller for emulation of 32-bit games and down. I love the 6-button controller, it's especially great for fighting games. I want this controller scheme to make a comeback, I'm sick of every controller having buttons with the same, diamond layout now.

Good times.... but unfourantly after a few moves and a new incompatible TV my Saturn had been sitting in a box for the past 8 years in my basementcollecting dust. So a few months ago i decided to sell my Saturn.. the system, 2 controllers and 30 games fetched me 80 bucks. Lady at mega media exchange told me they already had a buyer lined up.

I got my PS1 back in 1996. There was a deal in Toys R Us where we trade in Sega Genesis Console and 10 games would get heavy discount on PS1. If it wasn't for this promo, I would have gotten Sega Saturn instead. 1996 was a very strange year for both Sega and Sony. It was the year when the console was still finding its own identity, especially for PS1. Because of this, the game had such a wide variety of odd games. Like Krazy Ivan, Warhawk, Jumping Flash, Toon Race, Tobal #1, Beyond the Beyond, and so on. It was until 1997 and 1998 when both console found their mark in history with legendary titles like FF7, Crash Bandacoot, Resident Evil, and so on.

I remeber that, here, in Portugal, the PlayStation really started to take off in late 1997, early 1998. Until then, the craze was all about the Saturn. A friend of mine got a Saturn in christmas 1996 and I remember that back then, the Saturn cost more than a minimum wage in Portugal!! So, after 1998, it was normal (for the rich kids) to have a Saturn and a PlayStation. I had to hold on to my Mega Drive until 2002... Until I got a PS2...

Still have mine with 48 complete games, love it

They should make new games for the old systems that never got the chance to show their true potential!

...and during the launch of the Saturn and PlayStation, I owned a Panasonic 3D0 that I paid $550 CAD in 1994.

My favourite console of all time, literally the most fun I ever had with a controller in my hand. I bought the console after it had already been out for a year and had a massive price cut, so it was a win-win (cheaper console and alot more games available). I care nothing about retail numbers, popularity or anything like that, never have done, I care about quality games and Sega were delivering that whether people recognised that or not. So what, the old Genesis IPs never made it across - that's exactly what I loved about this machine, Sega were absolutely banging out NEW stuff, these were the days when innovation was a thing and regurgitating the same old IPs and stagnating the industry as a result (like we've been seeing for the past 20 years), was not. The machine just captured a moment in time that will not be replicated and marked the beginning of my journey as a young man who was prepared to stick by his choices with total conviction and stoicism. People laughed at me in college when I said I had a Saturn and had no interest in PlayStation, because I believed at the time I was playing the best games available currently on the market and I stuck by that and I still believe it now. The early PlayStation line up of games could not hold a candle to what Sega were doing, they weren't even close. I got my Saturn chipped to play games from any region and the people laughing at me didn't have the slightest clue what I was playing from Japan. Those Japanese imports were serious. Look now all these years later and there is a scramble to get hold of all those archive Saturn titles and they are going for an absolute killing now. Panzer Dragoon Saga (which isn't even one of the unheard of titles) is going for as much as $2,800 on eBay. People are now horrendously overpaying to play ancient titles that nobody had an interest in at the time and are well out of fashion now. Who's laughing now eh?

Damn you Santa. Thanks for the Model 2 though, mom 😁

There are several reasons why the Sega Saturn failed in Japan, but the biggest reason is that in the wake of FinalFantasy7, franchises of popular domestic titles such as DQ I think the biggest reason is that it became a PS exclusive title. When I was a teenage student, I bought a Sega Saturn with what little money I had for "Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner". One day, my mind went blank when I suddenly learned from a TV commercial that FF7 would be a PS exclusive title. It was such a shocking event.

Sega should've used the Cartridge Slot and Controller Port of the Sega Mega Drive for the Saturn from the get go. also they should've made the Saturn backwards compatible with Master System, Mega Drive, Mega-CD and 32X games.

I've always had much respect for Sega. They started their journey fighting Nintendo toe-to-toe, back-to-back, gat-for-gat in the Master System days.

The best I've own for a console until PSVR for the PS4. I owned ALL of the Sega consoles right down to the Dreamcast. It was an awesome ride. I don't regret a minute of it. Thx for the flashbacks. 👍

...it was my best friend for many years. Sad but true.

Working so close to Christmas is admirable

There's couple of very significant things missing. The Saturn stayed ahead of the PlayStation for a long time in Japan. With the massive success of Sakura Taisen, there wasn't really a hint that the Saturn could fall behind until Square announced that they'd be making games, including the next Final Fantasy, for Sony and not for Sega or even Nintendo. It's well known that the franchise moved because of the CD-ROM format, but I don't think Square choosing PlayStation exclusively over the Saturn or a multi-format approach has ever been explained. Sony and Square/SquareEnix always did love their exclusives though. And in the western markets, the gaming press clearly preferred the PlayStation over the Saturn from before their releases. Among anyone that knew gaming journalists, it was said that Sony were extremely generous, going so far as to having drugs and prostitutes at their parties. A necessity for gracious living.

I found the 2D quality on the Saturn was waaay higher than the PlayStation. I didn’t play many sports games but they always looked much better on the Saturn at least at first. I am fairly certain if a developer figure out how to use all of the features of the Saturn it would have blown us all away with its abilities. I still have a Saturn but it died, I keep it around for the memories though.

Thank you ma'am, for the quality content as always!

20:24 - I'd always thought the UK lacked Saturn marketing but it's nice to get it confirmed. I almost went the entire of Gen 5 having never heard of the Saturn; even asking my brothers why Sega never made a follow-up to the Mega Drive as we played on the PlayStation. It rather baffles me how little of a voice Sega of Europe seemed to have given the success of the Master System and Mega Drive in such areas. Also, lovely tale of the origins of your gracious living line.

Im not far from Frinton, a place where I clearly havent been living graciously, I didnt have most of these necessities 😅

Every console you cover is a necessity for gracious living.

Hardware is nothing without software. What they needed is a killer app that sells the console. If Square had made Final Fantasy 7 exclusive for the Saturn it would have been a different story. That pretty much sums it up.

It didn't help that Sega was stretching it's resources thin by trying to support FIVE different platforms simultaneously during the latter half of 1995. They had the Genesis, Sega CD, Game Gear, 32X and now the Saturn.

Although I didn't really get into gaming until the PS1 came out and games went 3d, looking back the Saturn has aged the best from this generation, as its 2d games have stood the test of time. Whereas the 3d games from this generation have not aged well.

Too many components implied a surge in the price of all Sega products, Mega-CD, 32X and Saturn, where the Master System and Game Gear had been affordable to a wide demographics of Brazilians and Europeans.

Great coverage and Memes. Fully entertaining~

The Saturn had a better library than the PS1 until the release of Final Fantasy 7 (late '97): Panzer Dragoon, Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter 2, World Series Baseball, Virtua Cop, Guardian Heroes, Powerslave, Saturn Bomberman, Nights, Die Hard Arcade, Dragon Force, X-Men, X-Men Vs Street Fighter, Virtual-On...

such a superb analysis for the history of SATURN , really enjoyed it !! -P.S. I was one of the hardcore Sega Mega Drive fans , who was hyped so much for the SATURN , but ... 1)all the add-ons that SEGA of America was releasing for the Mega Drive ,right before SATURN's launch , such as SEGA CD , 32X , etc had me confused as a potential SATURN customer. ( *really why a customer to buy the 32bit SATURN , when supposedly the 32X could also deliver something similar* ). 2)The lack of software (*with the catalyst for me being only 1 game :Diablo was available for the PS1 , while wasn't for the SATURN) These 2 reasons , turned a dedicated SEGA fan into a PS1 customer ,which by the way , i never regretted that choice!! such a sad story though ... -P.S. 2: Although i think that Kalinske was proven to be right to insist in SATURN hardware redesign (08:03 ) , *i'll never understand all those add-ons he chose to launch for the Mega Drive* ,right before SATURN's launch , thus pushing the 32bit-hype away from SATURN...

If SOJ allowed Thomas Kalinske to run the Sony Sega alliance. We could of had the Sega Sony PlayStation 5, S.S.P.S.5 for short, by now. Moreover, Thomas Kalinske could still be w/Sega.

Damn girl! You're getting good at this! Keep it up!

KB and Target weren't just upset that the Saturn launched early. They were also left out of the first wave of consoles which went to their largest competitors, Toys R Us and WalMart, respectively.

It didn't help that Sega was working on the Dreamcast right away and gave it a Japan release while the Saturn was still hot and the US crowd were craving the Dreamcast far more.

The Saturn actually is a very well-rounded console with a ton of variety in games. I'm approaching 51 Saturn games and over half of them are (in gorgeous) 2D. It still has plenty of games that look and play great today. My personal favorites in my library are (in no particular order) Nights into Dreams, Super Tempo, Magic Knight Rayearth, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, and The Game Paradise. I just ordered The House of the Dead and Mighty Hits and I have a strong feeling they'll be way up on my list. I'm very slowly getting into Grandia, Princess Crown and 七つ風の島物語 (Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari, The Island of Seven Winds Story) all kind of at the same time, too.

Huntington Beach which was down the road was way better though. The people were chill and the waves were way better.

We must stay vigilant lest toffs take over. Great video and please, keep 'em coming.

When you talked about your town, i had some empathy due too finding out my families ancestral castle (Killeen) in Ireland was turned into a golf course

I love Lady Decade!!
