The Sega Saturn<a href="#cite_note-4">[a]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[b]</a> is a <a href="/wiki/Home_video_game_console" title="Home video game console">home video game console</a> developed by <a href="/wiki/Sega" title="Sega">Sega</a> and released on November 22, 1994, in Japan, May 11, 1995, in North America, and July 8, 1995, in Europe. Part of the <a href="/wiki/Fifth_generation_of_video_game_consoles" title="Fifth generation of video game consoles">fifth generation of video game consoles</a>, it is the successor to the successful <a href="/wiki/Sega_Genesis" title="Sega Genesis">Genesis</a>. The Saturn has a dual-<a href="/wiki/Central_processing_unit" title="Central processing unit">CPU</a> architecture and eight processors. Its games are in <a href="/wiki/CD-ROM" title="CD-ROM">CD-ROM</a> format, including several <a href="/wiki/Porting" title="Porting">ports</a> of <a href="/wiki/Arcade_game" title="Arcade game">arcade games</a> and original games. Development of the Saturn began in 1992, the same year Sega's groundbreaking <a href="/wiki/3D_computer_graphics" title="3D computer graphics">3D</a> <a href="/wiki/Sega_Model_1" class="mw-redirect" title="Sega Model 1">Model 1</a> arcade hardware debuted. The Saturn was designed around a new CPU from the Japanese electronics company <a href="/wiki/Hitachi" title="Hitachi">Hitachi</a>. Another video display processor was added in early 1994 to better compete with the 3D graphics of <a href="/wiki/Sony_Interactive_Entertainment" title="Sony Interactive Entertainment">Sony</a>'s forthcoming <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_(console)" title="PlayStation (console)">PlayStation</a>. The Saturn was initially successful in Japan but not in the United States, where it was hindered by a surprise May 1995 launch, four months before its scheduled release date. After the debut of the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_64" title="Nintendo 64">Nintendo 64</a> in late 1996, the Saturn rapidly lost market share in the US, where it was discontinued in 1998. The Saturn is considered a <a href="/wiki/List_of_commercial_failures_in_video_games" title="List of commercial failures in video games">commercial failure</a>; this was affected by the cancellation of <a href="/wiki/Sonic_X-treme" title="Sonic X-treme">Sonic X-treme</a>, planned as the first 3D entry in Sega's popular <a href="/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog" title="Sonic the Hedgehog">Sonic the Hedgehog</a> series. The Saturn was succeeded in 1998 by the <a href="/wiki/Dreamcast" title="Dreamcast">Dreamcast</a>, having sold 9.26 million units sold worldwide, most in Japan. The Saturn has several well-regarded games, including <a href="/wiki/Nights_into_Dreams" title="Nights into Dreams">Nights into Dreams</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Panzer_Dragoon" title="Panzer Dragoon">Panzer Dragoon</a> series, and the <a href="/wiki/Virtua_Fighter" title="Virtua Fighter">Virtua Fighter</a> series, although much of its library was confined to the Japanese market where the system fared better than the West.

According to the reviewers, "While the Saturn ended up losing the popularity contest to both Sony and Nintendo [...] Nights into Dreams, the Virtua Fighter and Panzer Dragoon series are all examples of exclusive titles that made the console a fan favorite."<a href="#cite_note-Number_18-209">[207]</a> <a href="/wiki/Edge_(magazine)" title="Edge (magazine)">Edge</a> noted that "hardened loyalists continue to reminisce about the console that brought forth games like Burning Rangers, Guardian Heroes, Dragon Force and Panzer Dragoon Saga".<a href="#cite_note-254">[252]</a> In 2015, <a href="/wiki/The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a>'s Keith Stuart wrote that "the Saturn has perhaps the strongest line-up of 2D shooters and fighting games in console history".<a href="#cite_note-255">[253]</a> <a href="/wiki/Retro_Gamer" title="Retro Gamer">Retro Gamer</a>'s Damien McFerran wrote: "Even today, despite the widespread availability of sequels and re-releases on other formats, the Sega Saturn is still a worthwhile investment for those who appreciate the unique gameplay styles of the companies that supported it."<a href="#cite_note-RetroinspectionSaturn-14">[12]</a> IGN's Adam Redsell wrote "[Sega's] devil-may-care attitude towards game development in the Saturn and Dreamcast eras is something that we simply do not see outside of the <a href="/wiki/Indie_game" title="Indie game">indie scene</a> today."<a href="#cite_note-IGNSooth-200">[198]</a> Necrosoft Games director <a href="/wiki/Brandon_Sheffield" title="Brandon Sheffield">Brandon Sheffield</a> said that "the Saturn was a landing point for games that were too 'adult' in content for other systems, as it was the only one that allowed an 18+ rating for content in Japan [...] some games, like <a href="/wiki/Enemy_Zero" title="Enemy Zero">Enemy Zero</a> used it to take body horror to new levels, an important step toward the expansion of games and who they served."<a href="#cite_note-Parish-139">[137]</a> Sewart praised the Saturn's first-party games as "Sega's shining moment as a game developer", with Sonic Team demonstrating its creative range and AM2 producing numerous technically impressive arcade ports. He also commented on the many Japan-exclusive Saturn releases, which he connected with a subsequent boom in the game import market.<a href="#cite_note-1UP_Pleasure_and_Pain-23">[21]</a> IGN's Travis Fahs was critical of the Saturn library's lack of "fresh ideas" and "precious few high-profile franchises", in contrast to what he described as Sega's more creative Dreamcast output.<a href="#cite_note-IGN_History_of_Dreamcast-143">[141]</a> Sega has been criticized for its management of the Saturn.

That was a battle that we weren't going to win."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKent2001558-110">[108]</a> Sheffield said that the Saturn's quadrilaterals undermined third-party support, but because "<a href="/wiki/Nvidia" title="Nvidia">nVidia</a> invested in quads" at the same time, there had been "a remote possibility" they could have "become the standard instead of triangles [...] if somehow, magically, the Saturn were the most popular console of that era."<a href="#cite_note-Parish-139">[137]</a> Speaking more positively, former Working Designs president Victor Ireland described the Saturn as "the start of the future of console gaming" because it "got the better developers thinking and designing with parallel-processing architecture in mind for the first time".<a href="#cite_note-1UP_Pleasure_and_Pain-23">[21]</a> In <a href="/wiki/GamesRadar" class="mw-redirect" title="GamesRadar">GamesRadar</a>, Justin Towell wrote that the Saturn's 3D Pad "set the template for every successful controller that followed, with analog <a href="/wiki/Shoulder_triggers" class="mw-redirect" title="Shoulder triggers">shoulder triggers</a> and left thumbstick [...] I don't see any three-pronged controllers around the office these days."<a href="#cite_note-256">[254]</a> Douglass C. Perry of <a href="/wiki/Gamasutra" class="mw-redirect" title="Gamasutra">Gamasutra</a> noted that, from its surprise launch to its ultimate failure, the Saturn "soured many gamers on Sega products".<a href="#cite_note-257">[255]</a> Sewart and IGN's Levi Buchanan cited the failure of the Saturn as the major reason for Sega's downfall as a hardware manufacturer, but USgamer's Jeremy Parish described it as "more a symptom [...] than a cause" of the decline, which began with add-ons for the Genesis that fragmented the market and continued with Sega of America's and Sega of Japan's competing designs for the Dreamcast.<a href="#cite_note-1UP_Pleasure_and_Pain-23">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-Parish-139">[137]</a><a href="#cite_note-Top_10-258">[256]</a> Sheffield portrayed Sega's mistakes with the Saturn as emblematic of the broader then-decline of the Japanese gaming industry: "They thought they were invincible, and that structure and hierarchy were necessary for their survival, but more flexibility, and a greater participation with the West could have saved them."<a href="#cite_note-Parish-139">[137]</a> According to Stuart, Sega "didn't see [...] the roots of a prevailing trend, away from arcade conversions and traditional role-playing adventures and toward a much wider console development community with fresh ideas about gameplay and structure".<a

Vol. 1, no. 2. February 1995. pp. 36–43. <q>Sega's knee-jerk reaction was to delay its Saturn development program for a few months to incorporate a new video processor into the system. Not only would this boost its 2D abilities considerably (something that Sony's machine was less proficient at), but it would also provide better texture mapping for 3D graphics ... Of course, Hitachi's link with the Saturn project goes much deeper. In 1993, the Japanese electronics company set up a joint venture with Sega to develop a CPU for the Saturn based on proprietary Hitachi technology. Several Hitachi staff were seconded to Sega's Saturn division (it's now believed that the same team is now working on preliminary 64-bit technology for Sega), and the result was the SH-2 ... As with most Sega hardware, Model 1 was basically an expensive assortment of bought-in chips. Its main CPU, an <a href="/wiki/NEC_V60" title="NEC V60">NEC V60</a> running at just 16 MHz, was simply too slow for the Saturn. And the bulk of Virtua Racing's number crunching was handled by four serial DSPs that were way too costly to be included in any home system. Sega's consequent development of the SH-2 meant that it could also produce a Saturn-compatible arcade system.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Next+Generation&rft.atitle=Sega+Saturn&rft.volume=1&rft.issue=2&rft.pages=%3Cspan+class%3D%22nowrap%22%3E36-%3C%2Fspan%3E43&rft.date=1995-02&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2Fnextgen-issue-002%2Fpage%2Fn37%2Fmode%2F2up&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASega+Saturn" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-20"><a href="#cite_ref-20">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFPollack1993" class="citation web cs1">Pollack, Andrew (September 22, 1993). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/22/business/company-news-sega-to-use-hitachi-chip-in-video-game-machine.html">"Sega to Use Hitachi Chip In Video Game Machine"</a>. <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140418061414/http://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/22/business/company-news-sega-to-use-hitachi-chip-in-video-game-machine.html">Archived</a> from the original on April 18, 2014.

Sony apparently gave the green light to that [...] Our proposal was that each of us would sell this joint Sega/Sony hardware platform; we'll share the loss on the hardware (whatever that is, we'll split it), combine our advertising and marketing, but we'll each be responsible for the software sales we'll generate. Now, at that particular point in time, Sega knew how to develop software a hell of a lot better than Sony did. They were just coming up the learning curve, so we would have benefited much more greatly [...] I felt that we were rushing Saturn.

We were also working on Sonic Adventure—that was originally intended to be out on Saturn, but because Sega as a company was bringing out a new piece of hardware—the Dreamcast—we resorted to switching it over to the Dreamcast, which was the newest hardware at the time. So that's why there wasn't a Sonic game on Saturn. With regards to X-treme, I'm not really sure on the exact details of why it was cut short, but from looking at how it was going, it wasn't looking very good from my perspective. So I felt relief when I heard it was cancelled.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=GamesRadar&rft.atitle=Super-rare+1990+Sonic+The+Hedgehog+prototype+is+missing&rft.date=2012-06-23&rft.aulast=Towell&rft.aufirst=Justin&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fgamesradar.com%2Fsuper-rare-1990-sonic-the-hedgehog-prototype-is-missing%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASega+Saturn" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-126"><a href="#cite_ref-126">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation magazine cs1">"In the Studio". <a href="/wiki/Next_Generation_(magazine)" title="Next Generation (magazine)">Next Generation</a>.
