Exploring the Sega Saturn library in 2020

Not sure how well Youtube’s automated translations can deal with French otaku lingo but two prominent retro podcasts covered the Sega Saturn vs. PlayStation battle in the past few days, respectively from the angle of people who imported both machines upon their Japanese releases (above), and a more European / “PAL” perspective of the situation (below).

In the sad, boring, English speaking world of Youtube, DigitalFoundry also started a similar series, but from the technological perspective, as one would expect.

I will never complain about more Saturn discussion and rehabilitation online, obvs, but I am a bit surprised people online didn’t rather dig into the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo DS vs. PlayStation Portable death battle this Christmas season, if only for purely demographic reasons. Many adults engaging online nowadays probably care more about these two machines, by this point!
