Topic: Why Can't We Get Sega Saturn on Virtual Console?

Is it the complex duel processor that causes the issues or is the the size of the games? Is there a size limit on the VC games? Or is it a combination of both?

I'd like see Saturn games on the Wii, so I woudn't need to take my Saturn out anymore.

Both, probably, it's like the Atari Jaguar, not enough good games, and a complex processor makes it just not worth emulation.

Couldn't we have arcade games that appeared on the Sega Saturn?

The Saturn had more than it fair share of great titles there is no problem in that area at all, especially for 2D fans.

Edit: Comparing the Saturn to the Jaguar? You gotta be kidding me.

Yes. I was a Sega Saturn fan back in its day and there are a whole lot of good games on it.

They could release the arcade version of Virtua Fighter 2.

I bought a Sega Saturn last year only games I really play is World Series Baseball and Fighters Megamix.

Some of its better games are extremely hard to find and can be expensive, Guardian Heroes is an amazing game the only scrolling beat-em up that I have found as fun as Streets of Rage 2, also Exhumed is an amazing FPS with platform elements, not to mention a great Zelda type game Shining Wisdom and a collection of great RPG's like Mystaria and Panzer Dragoon Saga, had lots of great games but are nowhere near as easy to obtain as PSone or N64 games.

Fighters Megamix was pretty awesome, as was WSB.

I want Saturn games on VC too. I never owned one as a kid, and they're supposed to be very expensive and extremely hard to emulate. I really want to play Nights, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Radiant Silvergun and Dragonforce without having to sell a kidney, so I hope Nintendo finds a way to emulate them on VC at some point.

This generation: Because the Sega Saturn emulation are difficult, even on a modern PC.

Next generation: There will be no excuse.

Cause the game ISOs are the size of the entire Wii hard-drive in almost all cases for one.

And I'm still surprised at how many people think current-gen PCs have trouble with Saturn emulation....My netbook with 0 3D acceleration can run both the linux and XP versions of SSF with 0 problems or slowdown, and that thing has a 900mhz processor and 1gb ram. Anything even remotely current can fly with Saturn emulation.

I've spent far too much on my Sega Saturn collection for them to put it up on the VC. In fact I emailed Nintendo and told them Ii didn't think it would be a good idea. They agreed.

Wow, they did?? Well Corbie, they'll agree with bad stuff but not good stuff so it's like an invitation for them to be able to do less work. And I have to agree, I've spent a modest amount of money on my SS collection. I had to pay $65 for House Of The Dead and it's just a really weak port. Still a little fun but made you wish you were just playing the arcade version instead

Corbie You have a shiny gold shield R u a hookkadikka? whats that mean? chickenbrutus is...

I remember when we were little my friend hade a sega saturn we loved it...then it broke...lol

Oh jesus, let me laugh a little bit.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Nice joke pal. But then your from USA and SOA Saturn support was horrible.
Anyway, you probabbly didn't play an Jaguar AND a Saturn.

It's easy to know why we don't have Saturn Emulation
"Disc Based Hardware Hell to Emulate."

yeah next generation there will be no excuse.
seriously...i wish they could have done it this gen.
atleast we got N64...well sometimes if ya know what i mean lol

Yeah SSF should be able to run on most machines out there. The Wii can handle it I assume it's the ISO sizes that kill this.

Maybe they could shrink the ISO sizes if they convert the FMVs and CD-Audio into new, smaller formats like mp3. Anyway, I am sure Saturn on VC will not happen at all. (this gen)
