The Top 100 Sega Saturn Games ... according to the good folks at Retro Sanctuary. In 10 minutes!

More Sega love! This time, the 32-bit Saturn...another highly underrated Sega console!
This is the generation which is generally viewed as "the beginning of the end" for Sega. A shame really, as the Saturn had a pretty good library of games - as can be seen in this video.
Some great original titles and really some impressive ports here. The Saturn could really hold its own against the likes of the PlayStation and the N64 - and in many cases, surpass them!
Special shout-out to Brazilian Sega fans! This video is for you!

I remember when the Saturn came out, and it was this mythological console and you only knew like one kid that had it. It was like your friend’s cousin or something and you would just go over and have a blast playing a bunch of stuff you didn’t own or had never heard of. Such great times.

No, I just remember all the times when friends came over to my place and I would show them all the great games that they should know about, but somehow did not. It was hard for me comprehend why I was living happiliy in a Sega bubble while everyone around me simply behaved as if said bubble did not even exist. It was always fun to show them Virtua Fighter 2 and Sega Rally when all they had seen was Toshinden and they got bored of Ridge Racers one track already. So worth it! :D

I’ve lived through this era and still have never seen a Saturn in person to this day. I only knew of it’s existence from old Funcoland ads in the back of Gamepro magazines.
Thank you for putting Virtua Fighter 2 high on the list. That is still my favorite fighting series to this day! Just wish they’d make a new one.

Alien trilogy was scary
thanks for doing this work. some of these games look incredible style wise and i will look into them more. this is the time when games were made by adults for adults
It was so mythical that I only vaguely heard about it and maybe saw a box in the store once, but it seemed like it was all over so fast and I missed the chance to check it out. I never knew anyone who had one, but it looks like the games were awesome and it would have been fun. This era was amazing. I had an N64 and there were great console games, but PC games were insane then too, as well as PS1… It was just too competitive for the Saturn I guess.

obrigado irmão pelo vídeo, ficou ótimo
It warms my heart to see Death Tank Zwei on here (even though it's not a "real" game). It's really great. I would play duels VS my father the weekends I got home when in our equivalent of high school (and the intro song was my ringtone for him for a LONG while). He was given handicaps in the form of me not being allowed to use all weapons whereas he could use whatever. I want to see it ported to PC BADLY. Yes there was an Xbox 360 version a few years ago, that seemingly did not get a lot of love, but all those fancy graphics and stuff isn't needed. Just port the game as it is/was and with netplay and that's all you need.
Sega keep ignoring the huge potential of Saturn's library of games.... This console was a gem and still is. People would pay full price for collections or even a Saturn mini. What a waste.
7:08 Don't mind this. It's just a time stamp for me.
Elevator Action Returns is underrated as hell
No Sonic games?! Surprised I was to see so many PC games on the list, like Pandemonium, Need for Speed, Warcraft II, Command and Conquer, Sim City 2000, Worms, Duke Nukem, Resident Evil. A few cross-ports too, like Tomb Raider (PC and PSX). Thunderforce V was also on the PSX. There seemed to be rather a lot of "match-3" games as well, those ones that resemble Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine :-)
