There's very few great games for the Saturn that's you'll find for a good price (on eBay anyways). The Saturn is definitely not a cheap system to collect for by any means.
Layer Section is a great buy. One of the best shooters that can still be had for a decent price.

Never said there wasn't. But I prefer the quick, pickup and play of a shooter to a platformer. As I get older, my attention span for these games are dwindling lol
Nice, those are great games, you'll really enjoy them!
Ok, fair enough. However, it's the opposite for me when I get older.=p

Layer Section is fantastic. Also try to play it tate as the graphic effects show properly in that mode (and look more striking quite honestly). Gotta love that awesome Zuntata OST.

Done with the Stratos of course. I wonder what's the best time with a non-cheat car.

It's the most fun to go for the 3 course total time and in arcade mode (screw Lakeside).
The game's AI (or lack of) means as you get better, you have to deal with overtaking each CPU car at different points on the track, so just driving faster isn't enough, sometimes you'll have to make a sudden adjustment if you're racing particularly well! It's also a good measure (along with split times) of how you're going compared to your best.
Going for all 3 courses leaves more room for improvement and mastery!

Thanks for suggestion it worked and it turns out that my newer cables are the ones that have swapped left and right channels. Glad I was able to sort that out.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Google, eBay, and Amazon are failing me.
I would like to use an official 6-button Saturn controller on my PC with minimal or no input lag, for Sonic Mania.
Trying to make certain that the controller you're buying is legit is impossible; and the various converters seem to be deceiving, too. There are some USB Saturn controllers - are those just as good as official ones?
If anyone has any links on where to buy (or what to buy), I'd be appreciative. I know it might cost me a pretty penny; but Sonic Mania is probably my third favorite game of this gen (behind Bloodborne and BOTW), and I want to reply it the most "proper" way possible.

I was joking but I do recommend them. Two of the defining titles on the system and are extremely cheap to get.

Gotcha! i'll pick them up since they're cheap.
SaturnGAF, i picked up 2 JYP titles today on my local retro store:
i hope they're good!
Zwei is brilliant full stop. One of, if not the best rail shooter ever created.
X-Men is fun and very good but was bettered by every vs title afterwards.
Just go for X-Men vs Street Fighter as an example.
Oh and make sure that when you pick up NiGHTS into Dreams you'll get a 3D controller along with it. Whatever you do, don't play it with a normal controller.

It's not that great. Get it if you find it for a good price but don't expect anything near the same quality as the Genesis titles.
It does have this weird sockpuppet dinosaur that always makes me laugh though.
Id say if you can get it for cheap yes. It's my least favorite Shinobi game by a large margin.

I've often thought of buying Shinobi Legions, but I can't really justify it from the semi-high amount it goes for when I haven't beat Revenge and PS2, and those are actually good Shinobi games.
Yep, same here! Loved it and beat it in 2015 as well.

Return of The Shinobi Master is my choice.

i just can't quit on Shadow Dancer, love that game
haha now i really gotta get back to Legions - yeah it's not the best but reviews at the time made me think it'd be far worse, it does feel like a proper shinobi title
so mad at myself for passing on this one as a kid - columns was cheaper though!
