Outtrigger on PSN with Keyboard & Mouse support.

Jet Set Radio.

What's with the total lack of Saturn love Sega? Need more Daytona USA HD, and Die Hard Arcade 2.

I guess I could use a PSN version of Power Stone 2, in HD graphics though

The only Saturn games I'd be interested in would be the Shining Force 3 chapters that never made it to North America.

Isn't the Saturn impossible to emulate properly?

[M4R14NO94]

There was a similar poll on GameFAQs, only that it included some Saturn games (I think)

[Pulstar]

Are they redoing any of the original assets though? They might as well release a Dreamcast emulator and allow you to boot your games using it. Which of course won't happen because 1) less profit and 2) GD-ROM TEKNOLOGY.

Bleemcast also did the same thing: Release the game and emulator on same disc. Why not just sell us the bloody emulator without having to buy all the games again just to play them in Hi-Dickness? The Dreamcast can already do 480p with most games using VGA box.

Not really, SSF emulates the Saturn with very high accuracy, and decent speeds

[Kogen]

I would like to see anything that is not Jet Set Radio or Space Channel 5.

[oldskool]

I'd like to see them stop screwing around on everyone else's consoles and make one of their own, or just fold completely.

I know Elliot already answered this, but I thought I'd shed some more detail on it.

It wasn't that the Saturn was impossible to emulate, it's that it was difficult. Most of that difficulty was from the fact that the Saturn required a very powerful computer to even get good speeds with, let alone perfect emulation.

With that said, this need for very high end PC equipment was several years ago. These days Saturn emulation is finally becoming worthwhile and usable. This is where Elliot's comment comes in.

You didn't get the game on the disc. You still had to own Gran Turismo 2, to play it on Bleemcast.

The Xbox 360 itself is several years old. I'm not so sure it could handle it, at least, not at 100% speed with no glitches.

My very old P4 can run most games at half speed, the 360/PS3 should be able to run them at close to native speed, doubly so if Sega uses the advantage of a locked platform and lets it use the GPU more for rendering. They could also just bring over the Sega Ages versions of the better Saturn games, like Dragon Force, Fighters Megamix, Die Hard Arcade, and the Dreamcast has it's own version of Daytona USA

Or they could just port them with enhancements.

Worked on PS2.
