Exploring the Sega Saturn library in 2020

Let’s recap everything in one post, that should be handy in the future (at least for me to come back and fix some typos… I wrote many of these half-asleep).

In retrospect, maybe one too many fighting games, but I had already shared some stories like Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari, Mechanical Violator Hakaider and Hōma Hunter Lime here before, so I didn’t have much else left to talk about.

@GameBeginnerGirl Thank you! That’s a very sweet and touching message. I am glad this endeavor made people remember or reconsider the Saturn in a new light. It was also interesting to see with which posts people resonated the most. I certainly did not expect this project would take that much effort and I definitely know what I am not doing for the 35th Anniversary.
