The RetroBeat: Sega needs to show the Saturn more love

Sega has been making a lot of retro gaming announcements. It’s going to start releasing old Genesis and Master System games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Alex Kidd on the Switch as digital downloads. Shenmue and Shenmue II are coming to modern platforms. And Sega is working on a new mini-version of the Genesis. All of that is great, but where’s the love for the Sega Saturn?

Yeah, yeah, the Genesis is one of the best systems ever. And the Dreamcast has a legion of fans. But the Saturn is also a fantastic system. I’d love to see more Saturn games become available as digital downloads on modern systems, because it has a library of classics that are hard to access unless you own the console and the original discs.
