The Saturn Import Thread

[Genesis Knight]

I'll keep my eyes open, then.

I have Bulk Slash actually. It's awesome. It's 3D and has very good graphics for the time, so I don't get why it wasn't "AAA" enough for Bernie Stolar to localize. I guess it was more important to ensure the release of the Saturn port of Courier Crisis.

Words cannot express my loathing of Bernie Stolar.

That one seems pretty rare.

I have Bulk Slash, it isn't too expensive... maybe uncommon to find. However, I have the Satkore release... do all Satkore games have foldout manuals?!

[j_factor]

Nope, I have the Satkore version of 2DO Arukotowa Sandoahru (Puzzle & Action Series Sand-R) and it has a standard manual.

Bulk Slash has a fold-out manual either way. I have the non-Satkore release. Although I think there is a difference of some sort. With my copy, there is a "cover" (actually it's more like a booklet but without pages inside) that is glued to the front of the jewel case and folded back, and the fold-out manual goes inside it. Is that how the Satkore version is?

I don't really remember, and I can't check since my shit is back in NY.... I know my copy of Sand-R is the regular release.

US version was rushed for release. It's missing graphic detail, sound effects, and some screen displays.

Hmm. The same thing happened with the Dreamcast Sega Rally, didn't it? The entire 'Go! Go! Sega Rally' intro was cut out from the Western release.

Better put that on the wishlist, then.

The Pro Action Replays won't let you save directly to the cart slot. So you'll be busy transferring saves back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. The built-in Saturn RAM isn't exactly massive and the battery runs out fast. I had a PAR once. I took it right back to Electronics Boutique.

It's uncommon. Then again it's done by the same people who did Hagane on the SNES.

You could just MOD your Saturn and burn all your games (or at least the $180+ ones). It won't hurt anyone but the price gougers.
