Episode Notes:
1. Games captured on real hardware.
2. These release dates are approximate. I actually found numerous release dates that differed by a few days up to a few weeks.
3. I wouldn't say I'm bitter about how Sega ended the Saturn, but I definitely feel it hurt their brand image even further. Among the hardcore, it was well known that Japan still had many games the US never received. It would have went a long way had Sega staggered some of those with late 98/early 99 releases.
4. I firmly believe we would have had Resident Evil 2 and Tomb Raider II on the Saturn had Sega supported the Saturn an additional year. 3rd parties are not gonna dump resources into a platform if its been abandoned.
5. You may notice that the Shining Force III footage has numbers around the screen. My copy of the translation does that for some reason.
