Saturn has a dual-CPU architecture and a total of eight processors. Its games are in CD-ROM format, and its game library contains several arcade ports as well as original titles. Development of the Saturn began in , the same year Sega's groundbreaking 3D Model 1 arcade hardware debuted. Designed around a new CPU from Japanese electronics company Hitachi, another video display processor was incorporated into the system's design in early to better compete with Sony's forthcoming PlayStation.
The Saturn was initially successful in Japan, but failed to sell in large numbers in the United States after its surprise May launch, four months before its scheduled release date. After the debut of the Nintendo 64 in late , the Saturn rapidly lost market share in the U. Having sold 9. The failure of Sega's development teams to release a game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, known in development as Sonic X-treme, has been considered a factor in the console's poor performance.
I own a number of burnt CDs which I definitely would not be able to afford were I to try and troll eBay and find the game I want. No company sells or supports the games it released on the console.
I bought a saturn when it came out for dollars US currency. From there i went on to buy numerous games including the 4meg and converter in 1 for x-men vs street fighter. Got tired of the game and sold it to a game store for tekken 3. I didnt even like tekken. Another US saturn i owned was used forx-men vs sf with the st key converter than i would swap to the standard sega issued 4 meg ram cart.
Once again my us saturn was shorted out. Anyway when i got my first credit card i bought a japanese saturn with x-men vs sf again and went back to that game store for marvel vs sf and street fighter zero 3. Ive noticed that the cartridge connectors short out on the US saturns very quickly Being that they use a cheap aloe to conduct electricity. Never had a problem with the 4 meg running on the import system but i wasnt able to play us games. When i get my next saturn im getting another imoport with a mod chip for playing all regions and backups and ill just leave my 4 meg in for the rest of my life.
PS i not getting raped on ebay cause i already learned my lesson by bogus dbz games for super nes. Saturn isnt in stores anywhere and there are no plans for it so im gonna download all the free isos i want.
Even if they were on store shelves id still dl them in a ny minute. I fully support downloading things like emulators, roms, ISOs, etc.
