Sega On Sega Saturn Downloads

Sega's Yosuke Okunari, the producer of the upcoming Dreamcast re-releases and the Sega Aces range, has offered some hope to those wishing for Sega Saturn downloads.

Japanese site Impress Watch asked Okunari-san why Sega made the jump from MegaDrive to Dreamcast with downloads, skipping a generation in the process:

"When you look globally, the MegaDrive and Dreamcast are well known, but Saturn is unknown. During that period, PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were a success overseas"

"It's not that we're ignoring Saturn I think you can see this, considering that we ported Nights Into Dreams and other titles."

"What we announced this time is a project where we will have consecutive releases of titles that were debuted on Dreamcast. 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."

And on a related note for Wii owners..

"Dreamcast used 1 gigabyte discs, so because of memory problems, Wii would be difficult. However, there are other things we'd like to do on Wii. We're continuing with development of games for Virtual Console, for instance, and would like to keep continuing this."

* He teased on the Dreamcast downloads. saying some will have significant updates to graphics and online ability

* Sega are considering Dreamcast games that embody the Dreamcast era.

* 360 & PS3 ports will be practically the same except for very slight differences due to hardware.

* 720p and 60 FPS

Guardian Heroes and Burning Rangers please!

The XBox 360 and PS3 ports of Crazy Taxi ditch the soundtrack. Gone are The Offspring and Bad Religion.

This SUCKS !

The only thing id want is Virtua Tennis. Crazy Taxi was fun for about an hour then you were just doing the same thing.

Sounds good, to me! The Saturn version of Duke Nukem 3D is dope, because it's the only one which is actually 3D and not that '2.5D' ray casting stuff from Doom. Virtua Fighter 2 is kind of a must if they're going to delve into their Saturn back-catalogue. However, I would personally like to see the arcade Model 2 version of VF2 rather than Saturn.

There's so many great games on the Saturn, it's all down to whether SEGA holds the rights to release some of the best ones.

Fuck you!!! When I saw that video I thought they were selling them again.
