This. <3 Like the best controller for 2D games ever, too. The directional pad made me about a million times better at SHMUPs than I am normally. :'D

I missed so much awesome, so I am revisiting the only Sega console that never touched my hands ;_;

Of all the consoles I've ever owned, the Gamecube and the Saturn are the ones I wanted modded the most. Sure I had a Saturn and used to do the swap trick, but that sucks balls. And the Gamecube games play better on the original console. :P

PDS is really, really awesome, yeah. ^^;;; Love the whole series, actually, but Saga is something pretty unique. Definitely worth giving another look to sometime! ^_^

I didn't have a 3D controller though, I'll blame my lack of completion on that. :wacko:

Ditto. I'm strongly considering buying a Japanese Saturn when I'm abroad, because playing imports on a PAL console converts them to 50Hz, which looks ugly at best and causes horrible audio issues / crashes at worst. :/

There's a good device for playing "homebrew" gamecube games without modding the console now.

Those Japanese Saturns are sexy.

I always liked the Saturn, it really was the underdog of that generation, but had some fantastic games that people overlooked/couldn't play due to being Japanese or American exclusives.

Is a guy on Bitgamer selling a chipped Cube with a full sized DVD case for £33 posted in the UK, I'd love to buy it but I'm skint and wouldn't use it anyway.

Yeah, I want a white one. ^^;;; I blame Cosmic for that. Buying one and making me all jealous... <_<

It was pretty much doomed to failure in PAL territories given how few games were actually released for it here. :'D Definitely a good console, though! Then again, I'm a hopeless Sega fangirl, so I'd pretty much like it no matter what~ ^^;;;

I didn't know....
and Japan really doesn't let systems die in terms of the sales from Japan and United States....
2,000,000 copies sold in the Us, and 3x as much in Japan. :dread:

Yeah it didn't even see that many games in the US, I can only imagine for PAL territories...

I like that skeleton one as well, clear grey colour with funky coloured buttons? How come we only got a dull black console? :(

Whenever we had a Saturn, I always wanted Die Hard Arcade. I never seen a copy in the wild, ever. :-/
