Worthy Sega Saturn Exclusives?

[segaddict]

I am looking to expand my Saturn collection. I only have about 10 games. I am particularly looking for Exclusives to the Saturn. I have Nights and Panzer Dragoon 1&2. Not interested in RPGs, but anything else that is a decent game and a Saturn exclusive I would be interested in.

Also, is there a list somewhere of all the exclusives?

[Vector2013]

VF2, VC2, Last Bronx (I think), Fighters MegaMix, Sega Rally, Sonic R, Shinobi X, many others.

[TrekkiesUnite118]

Burning Rangers
Sonic 3D Blast (not exactly exclusive, but definitely the best version and it's cheap).
Sonic R
Guardian Heroes
Saturn Bomberman
Virtua Cop 1 and 2
Sega Rally Championship
Daytona USA Circuit Edition
Last Bronx
Fighters Megamix
Virtua Fighter 2
Dead or Alive (Not exclusive, but worth owning)
Panzer Dragoon Saga (RPG, but worth owning if you like the first two)

There's more too, but I'm a bit too tired to think of others at the moment.

[Da_Shocker]

Astra Superstars
Decathlete
World Series Baseball
Valva
3 Dirty Dwarves
Taromaru (this game doesn't play like it's asking price but GAWD those graphics are incredible)

Well, "worthy" games are always going to be debated. Here are a bunch of US exclusives that I would recommend looking at.


Earthworm Jim 2 Special Edition

Actually it's also on Playstation and even still it's just a 16-bit game updated to be 32-bit. It doesn't have the "Special Edition" in the title either.

[Barone]

After reading these first deluded/weird/nonsense replies to the OP, which are ignoring what the OP said, I'll leave it here:
ex·clu·sive (k-sklsv)
adj.
1. Excluding or tending to exclude: exclusive barriers.
2. Not allowing something else; incompatible: mutually exclusive conditions.
3. Not divided or shared with others: exclusive publishing rights.
4. Not accompanied by others; single or sole: your exclusive function.
5. Complete; undivided: gained their exclusive attention.
6. Not including the specified extremes or limits, but only the area between them: 20-25, exclusive; that is, 21, 22, 23 and 24.
7. Excluding some or most, as from membership or participation: an exclusive club.
8. Catering to a wealthy clientele; expensive: exclusive shops.
9. Linguistics Of, relating to, or being a first person plural pronoun that excludes the addressee, such as we in the sentence Chris and I will be in town tomorrow, so we can stop by your office.
n.
1. A news item initially released to only one publication or broadcaster.
2. An exclusive right or privilege, as to market a product.

Why was my post deluded? Yes, I included a few RPGs and Strategy games and limited it to US because the OP is from the US. So what was wrong?

Not in the US, but I removed Earthworm Jim 2 from the list anyway. You need either a modded PS1 or a Japanese PS1, and interest in the Japanese PS1 library like Barone has, to know about or play Earthworm Jim 2 and many many other 2D games for the Playstation.

Not exclusives:

So you are including EU only releases, Jpn only releases, PC releases and Arcade releases and excluding RPGs right? Sorry, I should have been even more clear because this is such a touchy topic. My list was console exclusives in the US, i.e. it didn't come out for another console at the time in the United States as an official release. Sega PC games took a new PC at the time of their release to even run as well as the Saturn originals, and today many of them require older hardware and operating systems to run. I didn't have a PC that could even remotely handle Sega's PC games until 1998, and it wasn't until 2000 that I had enough RAM and a fast enough video card to run something like Sonic R or Virtua Fighter 2 well.

I also think it is silly to make a game non-exclusive due to a modern re-release due to the headache of bad re-releases out there making it a crap shoot whether it is even the same game. The only thing worse than that is claiming that MAME negates a great Arcade port back in the day.

[Barone]

Oh, OK, so let's exclude PC as a platform, let's delete the arcades existence, let's ignore the rest of the world and let's avoid the actual reality 'cause you want to prize your Saturn console.

I can create a topic for sheath's home '96 exclusives if you want...

[Baloo]

Barone, that is just ridiculous. They're on Saturn only as a console. PC and Arcade don't count for OP.

Where he's saying that? I think I missed that line...
And I also pointed games released in other console platforms as well.
Sorry if I broke some Saturn bones here...
