The SEGAGuys | The Narrative Around the Sega Saturn is Wrong - It’s Time to Change It. @SEGAGuys | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 36 minutes ago.
If there’s one topic that has lined the pockets of YouTubers for over a decade, it’s the commercial failure of the Sega Saturn.
These videos have helped form a narrative around Saturn, where its failure is as much, if not more of a story, rather than focus on what made Saturn so great for those who invested their time and money in the system.
In this video, James “The SEGAHolic” asks you to cast aside your preconceptions, to unlearn what you have learned, and look at what the Saturn did right and why commercial performance is not the only metric for measuring the success of a console; especially one that’s 30 years old this year.
See you on the SEGA side.
00:00 - Intro - It’s time to change the narrative.
06:25 - Sega at their most creative.
12:33 - Timeless, unmatched 2D games.
14:55 - A rich and diverse software library.
20:08 - The “secret sauce” of VDP2.
23:50 - A glimpse of online gaming’s future.
28:17 - Industry defining analogue controller.
30:21 - It was, and is, an amazing games console.
