Speaking of NAMCO...
William N. Bacon
Bad news, I'm afraid. NAMCO of Japan officially dropped support for
Sega Saturn. This plain sucks. I was looking foward to some of their
classic 2D style games and maybe an original game for Saturn (like in
the Mega Drive days).
I don't know if this also means that NAMCO Hometek (US) will drop
Saturn, but more than likely.
Ruins my day,

Here is a solution, save up $200 and buy a PSX, then you can enjoy
Sega and Namco game at home:)

Exactly. I don't see why this is such a difficult concept for people.
I bought a Saturn so I could play superior conversions of Capcom fighters
and Working Designs RPGs, and I wound up discovering several other great
games like VOn and Nights, that I hadn't ever considered. System loyalty
is all fine and well, but it WON'T let you play all the great games out
there.

I believe Namco is 100% behind Sony. This could explain why they're
not supporting Saturn. I would've liked to see a Rolling Thunder Pack
come out on Saturn (but if Namco chooses to do one on PSX, you'd best
believe I'd buy it.). Ah, the joy of owning both.

Which is exactly what I did few months ago when the price dropped to
$200. Now I get all NAMCO games, including the import stuff. But I
also wanted to see some original games for the Saturn too (remember
Phelios, Power Ball, etc. on Genesis?). Sigh...

At the expense of sounding incredibly sarcastic--what support? Has Namco
released ANYTHING on a non-PSX console lately? Oh well, I won't miss 'em
if the amazing Sega AM teams keep up their work. Fighters Megamix sounds
unbelieveable.
