That HD port was a bunch of lies.I wish everything would be translated in the HD port. It wasn't, right?

Anyway, a lot of strategy rpgs have been shown, but not this one:
Zanma Chou Ougi Valhollian
Simulation - RPG game, published by KAMATA & PARTNERS, which was released in Japan in 1998 for the Sega Saturn. As far as I know never translated. I like the look of it :)
Yeah, I found it here https://www.satakore.com/sega-satur...su-Samurai-Spirits-Bushidou-Retsuden-JPN.htmlWait
Samsho rpg released on saturn too? Thought it was ngcd and ps1 only xp
Hyper 3D Taisen Battle GebockersFighting 3D - Shooter game, developed and published by Riverhill Soft Inc., which was released in Japan in 1996 for the Sega Saturn
Game Ware Volume 5
Released in 1997, Sega Saturn had a few compilation of mini games like this :)
Please let me know if you want me to continue to post. I am aware that some heavy hitters like Virtua Fighter 2, Daytona USA, Sakura Wars, Panzer Dragoon 1, Sonic games and a lot of sports game have not been posted, but I find these more interesting. :)

Torico / Lunacy
Twin Peaks-style mystery and characters, unique tone and atmosphere and, even though I haven't played it in years, I think that the overall aesthetic has aged surprisingly well. The story goes full JRPG in the later parts of the game but it's still an extremely memorable experience IMO, I've never played anything like it. Definitely one of the best console-exclusive adventure games,
Good times, I owned up to 80 saturn games at some point. Mostly import. Some gems too like RSG, Princess Crown and even Final Fight Revenge lol.
Saturn has some stellar games, but most people never noticed. XvsSF on Saturn, well nothing came close to that when it released.
Like Square is releasing their Mana and Saga stuff, the world needs the translated Shining Force 3 trilogy on all systems.
What an atmosphere that game has. One of my favourite Saturn games.
Ever played Kowloon's Gate or Hellnight on the PS1? Or Enemy Zero on Saturn/PC? Those games are other good offerings that have different gameplay systems from one another but have the same "weird and rather creepy CG" art style of that era. Hellnight/Dark Messiah was Europe and Japan only though and Kowloon's Gate is Japan only.
Great thread----
Both Wipeouts on the saturn, part one and Wipeout 2097 (Wipeout XL on PSX) really shine using the 3d pad.
Baroque
It got a PS2 and Wii release back in the day, but I never tried it.
This is the best version of the best vs puzzle game, and you can play it with the best d-pad ever. God I love Magical Drop 3.Magical Drop III
Puzzle game, developed and published by Data East Corp., which was released in Japan in 1997 for the Sega Saturn.
Nightwarriors was awesome. So many details and unique frames of animation! Only problem was that it moved too quickly for me to fully appreciate. I bought the GameFan strategy guide just so I could admire all the frames, like cursed/burned/electrocuted character states.God damn I love the Saturn.
One of my favorites is Darkstalkers II -
Koudou Saisoku Densetsu ~Kashiramoji D (Initial D)
Racing game, published by KODANSHA, which was released in Japan in 1998 for the Sega Saturn.
One of the worst driving games ever. no matter how hard I try to play this over and over again it's really bad. The music is cool tho.
a few months later after Cotton 2 came Cotton Boomerang which I think is even more rarer and costly.
Despite re using a lot of assets from the previous game it's a lot more crazier.

That does look much better, yeah!
Oh dear! at the previous post :P
That Valhollian is like a Shining Force game and it's quite tough
Eiyuu Densetsu III / Legend of Heroes III - The White Witch
This game has been ported onto numerous consoles and Japanese pc's. Again the Saturn version has it's own unique version I think every port on different consoles has been unique
Sakura Taisen has been mentioned in this thread, but not shown. So let me start by... spinoffs!Cotton Boomerang is a masterful game.
The two Sakura Taisen/Wars games on Saturn left the biggest impression on me for the system. I was really getting into anime at the time, so they made me feel like I was playing one.
Watching this thread i think that a lot of devs (mostly indies, i guess) try to replicate retro graphics and fail miserably. Just looking at some of the screens, i realize that there are so many art styles that devs don't seem to tackle and that look beautiful.
Elevator Action Returns is one of the best action games ever made-- period. SO FUCKING good.
The Ving Taito ports were all awesome. Bubble Symphony and Mizubaku Daibouken included.
