SEGA HST-0001 Retro Game Console - Gray

Gorgeous Nostalgia Machine with Comfortable Gamepad and "What If" Potential

I won't go into detail about the merit or demerit of a Sega Saturn. It's a console we would have loved to have been successful worldwide, and it could have been but wasn't for a few reasons.

This is the original Japanese release with the wider box and beautiful button layout, and light gray/black/blue colors. If you can get an untarnished system, you will have one of the most beautiful home consoles in history.

Although the box is rather wide, it somewhat compensates for it by having a thinner profile. It still is not as good a design as the subsequent releases that were squarer but it's OK. Being the Japanese console, it will only play Japanese games unless you work around it. The internal memory is very, very small and you will need a memory cartridge. The benefit of the original Sega cartridges is it will not expand or risk damaging the pins unlike third party ones.

All in all, the Saturn had some great games in the West and especially in Japan. If you speak the language, that is a huge benefit. If you don't, you can still enjoy quite a few games that don't really require reading/listening, or sometimes even have English text and audio.

This is a good value if you obtain a complete in box version for around a hundred, by itself then much less. It's better to hold off until you find a good listing or in a local shop.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Sega Saturn - The 2D beast

Sega Saturn is classic console from the 90s. Probably one the best console in their generation, underrated because Sega decided to abandon the system because the developers said what difficult to programming on it. The truth is that the hardware is fantastic, probably the most powerful one in comparison with Playstation.

The system really bright in 2D, with awesome fighting games. Even in 3D games as Grandia , a fantastic RPG or first bio-hazard shows the potential.

Don't miss Street Fighter Alpha 3, even better than Dreamcast version.

Labeled as junk but its not!

it's not! Purchased this system with the sole intention of modding it and putting a sd card reader. Turns out it just needed a new clock battery. I used cables and controllers from another saturn and now this one works like a charm! I've decided to keep it as it is until it no longer works then I will proceed with the mod.Vollständige Rezension lesen
