About
Sega’s attempt to beat Sony and Nintendo to market, the Sega Saturn launched to lower than expected sales. Priced at $399, the Saturn was not able to fend off competition from the new Nintendo 64 ,which was half the price, and the juggernaut that was Sony’s Playstation. Both the Playstation and N64 had superior 3D graphics and more established franchises than the Saturn. Although the Saturn did not do well in the US it still released a few excellent exclusive titles over its limited lifetime in North America. Where the Saturn really excelled was in its excellent handling of 2D graphics, making it very popular for fighting games and shooters. Very popular in Japan, this console has several region-hacks enabling it to play over 700 import titles from Japan and the UK. A must have for 2D fans.
