    That's about average. I snagged a used Satakore (Greatest Hits or whatever) release for $35 shipped in an auction about a year ago.
    And I think I'd seen a semi-recent auction end for less than $30, but of course you might be looking for awhile before those prices come around again.

    They have some of the best prices I have ever seen in my entire life. Thing is you don't know what the condition will be. So far 2 out of 3 Saturn games I have gotten from there the disc has been in excellent condition no so much for the jewel cases but they are expendable so no biggie IMO.

    *edit*

    Just got this steal right here!

    yeah that's where I bought it. I got it from globalproduct. I've gotten all my Japanese saturn games from amazon and all the discs are pristine. The cases are all decent to good. Most are excellent, but the Clockwork Knight and Marvel Super Heroes cases could have been better.

    No, it's unbiased analysis. The only fanboyism is people who claim that Hyperstone Heist and Bloodlines are actually as good as their SNES counterparts.

    It's supposed to be awesome, I've had it on my watch list for years and haven't wanted to pay for it.

    What about the Segata Sanshiro, is that any decent?
    SEGA is the Messiah of Console Gaming.


    In July 2013, Exactly 164 months after Dreamcast launched, something BIG will happen at SEGA. Which is "ORBI" the world.

    To be fair, it was released pretty much at the tail end of the Saturn's life. In fact, Sonic 3D Blast shipped the same day. It was the FINAL 1st party Saturn release in Japan.

    Sonic 3D Blast was an early Saturn game in the US, I guess Flickies Island didn't make it until 1999 in Japan. That's strange.

    That doesn't change the fact it's pretty shitty, even by mini game collection standards.

    Yeah, it actually launched after Sonic Adventure if I remember correctly.

    I used to own 3D Blast for Saturn. That came out in '96. What's interesting is that on "Sonic Jam" there's no mention of a Japanese version of 3D Blast.

    I guess SEGA of Japan wanted the system to go out with a game their were personally ashamed of.

    Because there is no Japanese Mega Drive version of 3D Blast. The only version that hit Japan was the Saturn version.

    I highly doubt they were ashamed of the game though.

    It's shit. Boring, repetitive gameplay and level design that's either nonexistent or punishingly tedious. You start out with a whole one or two attacks and that's all you ever get.

    Too bad your already bought it, but oh well, maybe you'll get something out of it.

    ^ Watching that gameplay video I'm wondering what was so appealing about Hissatsu now. I think it was recommended to me with glowing praise as an alternative/better to Shinobi Legions/X. It looks like Shinobi X plays and sounds better though.
