I heard Sega Saturn is coming out?
 
Is this true cause I'm getting tired of my Genesis

Nervous Ferret 04-11-2005 12:19 AM

lol

Gertner 04-11-2005 12:23 AM

seriously. I've almost beaten Toejam and Earl, I really want to have it beaten before Sega Saturn comes out.

Silent 04-11-2005 12:34 AM

Yeah, they've also started planning a new project called Katana..

Boondock Saint 04-11-2005 12:41 AM

LOL @ Katana. I remember that.

Ninti the Mad 04-11-2005 09:11 AM

HILARIOUS

Mister Sinister 04-11-2005 10:35 AM

Yeah, and don't you know Gertner, they have already planned a system called Dreamcast too, doesn't that just blow your mind

Shaggy 04-11-2005 11:03 AM

Ive heard about the planning of the dreamcast....im sure that will be the best system ever. Blow all the other ones away. Soon Nintendo and Sony will be out of business.

Loose Cannon 04-11-2005 11:04 AM

I dunno, the Jaguar is really interesting to me right now. I hope they make a ton of games for it.

SukkaChump 04-11-2005 01:51 PM

Yes according to my "inside" sources, the Sega Saturn will use CD's instead of Cartidges.. isnt the future amazing? yeah i've also heard that sony is going to be doing the same thing, but i'm pretty sure this whole CD fad will let loose sometime or another, i just hope they make more games for my Sega CD though, now thats the REAL future.

Fignuts 04-11-2005 02:34 PM

KingofOldSchool 04-11-2005 02:39 PM

I really want that new Kriss Kross game that's coming out for the Sega CD.

Gouda 04-11-2005 02:43 PM

CDs are so stupid. They'll die out soon enough and cartridges will live forever!

Shaggy 04-11-2005 02:46 PM

I just dont see how CD games could be better. Look at the size of that compared to a cartridge. The cartridge is way bigger so it should hold alot more stuff on it. No one can beat the graphics now. So why Try?

Xero 04-11-2005 05:41 PM

What is this Genesis you speak of? Nintendo Power doesn't have anything about it. Meh, it probably sucks, NOTHING can beat the advanced graphics and sound of the NES...

Nowhere Man 04-11-2005 06:25 PM

NES....pffffft. There's no way that thing can stack up to my Intellivision.

Yeah, but how much more can you cram into that little thing? I mean, MAYBE 10 colors, but even that's pushing it.

My parents just told me were getting America Online! A few of my friends have it, and we'll be able to talk "via computer".

You should just play the Game Gear. I'm playing it right now. It's so awesome. I think it'sgoing to replace the Gameboy in less than a year.

Boondock Saint 04-12-2005 02:22 AM

TurboGrafx 16 is the future of console gaming.

SuperSlim 04-12-2005 08:01 AM

Game gear is freakin awesome. I was playin Sonic on it. It was just like playing it on my Genesis. :drool:

I heard there is going to be a new character in Sonic the Hedgehog.

His name will be Tails

Loose Cannon 04-12-2005 01:00 PM

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I just read in my new Nintendo Power that Super Nintendo is coming out with this awesome new shooter device for the games.

Dave has a kid, and I have a new full time job, so neither of us have a lot of spare time, but relax, they will be done.

Oh I beat my kids I wouldn't know.

tucsonspeed6 04-29-2005 05:54 PM

I don't know about these "games" you speak of, but you know what I like to do? I like to roll a small metal hoop down the road with a stick!

DS 04-29-2005 06:35 PM

Well there is a worthy bump.

Nervous Ferret 04-29-2005 06:36 PM

lol Gertner has had 2 gimmick changes since he made this thread

Xero 04-29-2005 07:37 PM

Hey, I just heard about this neat new game called Monopoly! Apparently, you can play as an iron, a doggy, or even a boat! And they buy properties and sell them, and trade, all that good stuff!

Although, I don't see how an iron can own property. A boat, maybe, but an iron!?

Seanny One Ball 03-09-2019 04:48 PM

I had a Saturn. I specifically got that instead of a PSX.

Sometimes kids make bad decisions, but I'll be fucked if that was one of them.

Fignuts 03-09-2019 05:24 PM

Good joke, Gertner.

Fighting games on the Saturn typically had wayyyyy better ports than ps1.

Seanny One Ball 03-09-2019 05:54 PM

What's a port?

Fighters Megamix was the tits. It had so much going for it ahead of other games. It just looked blocky as fuck.

My Saturn still worked last time I set it up. Megamix was impossibly hard even on easy. I must have lost the power.

Fignuts 03-09-2019 10:25 PM

Port is when you take say an arcade game and put it on a home console. Fighters like X-men vs Street Fighter were much better on Saturn.

Seanny One Ball 03-09-2019 10:32 PM

Ah, I should know that from King Of Kong.

Fignuts 03-09-2019 10:38 PM

Anything brought from one platform to another is a port, actually.

Ruien 03-10-2019 10:53 AM

I feel it's appropriate to bust out this classic.

Whenever I read PSX, I always think of that awkward attempt they made at trying to get a piece of the home entertainment/electronics market.

I remember it flopped pretty big time, was supposed to be a PS2 combined with a DVR, IIRC.

DAMN iNATOR 03-10-2019 01:36 PM

BTW, anybody heard anything about this Magnavox Odyssey thing? It seems #PrettyCool, but I'm skeptical.

Loved that movie. A follow-up would be awesome. What new info came out?

Billy Mitchell actually did lie and cheat with emulators for a bunch of his records.

The film becomes even better with this in mind. The commentary is good but Vic is right, a new version exposing Mitchell would be great.

Also everyone in the thread, myself included running the joke into the ground like we’re Michael Cole or something.

Droford 03-14-2019 03:31 AM

the only non nintendo unit I ever had was a Game Gear. I remember seeing a Sega Nomad at one point but it came out same time as Saturn and all the nomad was was a portable genesis..and like a month later it wasnt selling at EB out to our mall

Droford 03-14-2019 04:01 AM

Oh I was never into sega home console but I used to drop a bunch of money every saturday at the arcade playing Daytona USA and virtua fighter

Danny Electric 03-14-2019 08:31 AM

I had a Sega Saturn as well, remember a mate of mine having one who lived close by so I thought we could trade games etc. Then he sold his pretty much straight after.

Sega Rally was awesome, even with its very limited scope. I remember owning a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga, which was the best. Really wish I still had it with how much it’s going for on eBay.

Danny Electric 03-14-2019 08:35 AM

Wow even the demo sells for 12 quid which you got free at the time with the Sega Saturn magazine.

The old "Genesis does what NintenDON'T!" thing didn't grab ya, huh?

Seanny One Ball 03-14-2019 03:03 PM

I had a letter published in Gamesmaster Magazine as a kid asking about Panzer Dragoon Saga.

I used to go to the in-game arcade in the mall in the late '90s-very early 2000s and just spend so much money playing NBA on NBC and Gauntlet Legends. I spent countless attempts and failures at finding that damned 12th rune before finally getting it and going on to beat the game and collecting the 13th and final rune. I remember being honestly amazed at some of the machines being able to save progress as I never went to any arcades really in my most youthful days.

On a related note, I recently purchased T&E: Back In The Groove. Nice update of the original. Plenty of nostalgia, a few new tidbits, and most importantly, current controllers are a lot less stiff than the Genesis d-pad, so some of the added "difficulty" created by said controls is gone.

Still, a refreshing change to all the "live services". Something I can pick up and play for a short jaunt or long haul without being repeatedly begged for more money? Yes, please. Kinda ironic, in a game all about a very early form of loot boxes in randomized presents (until you identify them).
