Sega ‘Thinking About’ Saturn Games For Downloadable Releases

Sega is bringing back its beloved Dreamcast this spring – or at least two of its more memorable games, in downloadable form – but what of its predecessor, the sometimes spectacular but relatively unsuccessful Sega Saturn? Sega has not forgotten it.

In fact, Sega is “thinking about ports of Saturn games” for future releases. It has already ported a handful of Saturn era titles to the PlayStation 2 – Nights Into Dreams, Panzer Dragoon, Last Bronx, etc – but it may abide fan wishes for more recent retro remakes.

“What we announced this time is a project where we will have consecutive releases of titles that were debuted on Dreamcast,” Sega producer Yosuke Okunari told Impress Watch. “Separate from this, we’re of course thinking about ports of Saturn games. It’s the same as how Sega Ages and Virtual Console were separate existences. It’s not that we have no intention of porting Saturn titles, so please share your requests.”

So, let’s get this list started. Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragon Zwei, Shining Force III…

    Yes as long as they update it and not just port it over, it will otherwise be ugly as hell by todays standards.

    The Original Nights, Panzer Dragoon, Fighting Vipers (I loved that game so much), Virtual On.

    And Sega Fighters Megamix, a game I own but my brother never gave back the Saturn I loaned him.
