The Saturn is a really bad system to do a collection for.
Sega's first-party output was really weak, unique hardware still makes it a hassle for emulation, and the games? Talk. about. dated. The third-party stuff would be cool except it wouldn't happen and as a bonus quite a few parties that supported the Saturn are dead now. That leaves a bunch of obscure titles that couldn't sell water to a packet of kool-aid (NiGHTs? Legend of Oasis? Fuckin' Clockwork Knight??) and a crapload of outdated ports that are only playable if you have some odd fetish.
I'd compare my love of the Saturn to that of son or daughter but last I checked keeping children in dusty closets is not really love.
Only reason Radiant Silvergun is even getting ported is because Treasure was getting sick of their sore penises from all the polishing Microsoft was giving them. At least that game still looks relatively decent today. Panzer Dragoon Saga? People will flip their shit when they read in some ancient textbook that PDS was at one time considered a masterpiece. If it ever ends up on the 360 and/or PS3 with its horrendous frame-rate and extreme levels of hideousity an entire generation of gamers will collectively go "WHAT THE FUCK?" and I'll be forced to love nothing but Z-level Saturn games that next to nobody has heard of or will ever play like because I'll be too ashamed.
At least the Dreamcast can do a port that's on par with the arcade version. Still if this set is 360 only the list could be pretty much all current XBLA titles.

There's probably something else in the works but I forget.
