Went to but a Saturn....but didn't
Mark Garwatoski
and I was going to buy a Saturn. Mainly due to Virtual Hydlide and
Shinobi. I hate fighting games so VF does nothing for me and I can't
trade it in for $$, fighting games just never pushed my buttons and
unfortunately for me thats all anyone makes. RPG are my fav as well as a
wide variety of sports.
Anyway I went out to buy the Saturn and the before mentioned games(both
of which were due out in Aug. and Sept. according to GF, I was foolish
to beleive of course.) They aren't avail. until xmas at the soonest.
I just am no longer impressed with Saturn. It has been out for 5 months
and they only have 11 games out and 3 come with the system now. PSX
isn't even out yet and Babbages has eight titles to go on sale saturday.
I am not giving up hope yet because i saw a Dungeon and Dragon game on
the coming soon list.
Whats up with sega, where the hell are the games. I would be pissed if i
bought it five months ago and had all the games and they were making me
sit and beg like a dog for new titles.
Seriously leaning toward PSX,

release there games around christmas or november because they thought the
saturn wouldn't go on sale until september, and wanted to make the games
good quality, and figured that would be the about the time a lot of people
would own them
Mark Garwatoski
the business of making games. Aren't they. Don't fret I will probably go
get a Saturn today anyhow.
Just to hold me over until the real game system comes out next summer.
Off to Babbages
mark
P.S. where can I get a list of Japanese importable games and how to I
get them?

: After reading the latest Game Fan I had made the Saturn or PSX decision
I'm sorry, but this is just REALLY weird. You were all ready to buy a
$400 system because of 2 games you saw in a magazine? About Saturn
games, you get 3 games (4 if you count VF and VFR seperately) when you
buy the system. You get 0 when you buy a playstation. And anyway, from
what I hear the PSX will have 6 more games at launch than Saturn has
now. Unless you're rich and are going to buy all 6, that's not such a
big deal.

which I just saw today, and it looks GREAT, (November), and Romance of
the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of fire (October). PSX is going VERY
lightly on RPG's.
Again, here's the list. First Party titles are mentioned first, followed
by third-party, with the developer in parens.

No, Sony has decided not to release RPGs for the US Playstation. Saturn
on the other hand has tons of RPGs coming to it. Working Designs has already
annouced 8 titles for Saturn, 0 for Playstation. The new home for
RPGs is on Planet Saturn.

Not to let you out of control here, Dustin - Sony has decided to not
release ANIME style RPGs (or platformers, or anything anime) in the US...
NOT to skip over RPGs entirely. Typically, anime style games have sold to
a distinct, small demographic in the bigger pie of software sales, and
Sony obviously rationalized, in it's great wisdom, that diversification in
its software selection is a no-no. This is more and more starting to
sound like early Hollywood when the studios used to believe that they knew
what the public wanted more than the public did. Sheesh. Thank goodness
Sega's around.
