a question for dreamcast fans

I wouldnt go exactly for a certain system but a style of game that a system supports. I prefer the PS1 over almost every other system cause they were a huge jrpg supporter. Any jrpg at the time that was out on almost any system made it onto the PS1 and a tons of new ones. I dont collect systems just to have. The only ones I have atm are SMS (my first system. Miracle Warriors and Golden Axe Warrior exclusives), NES (Destiny of an Emperor exclusive and origins of FF and DW) SNES (Super Metroid and Zelda Link to the past as well as Tecmo Secret of the stars exclusive) PS1 (Already mentioned!) PS2 (DQVIII exclusive and Baldur's gate/Champions of norrath line) PS3 (originally bought as a blu-ray player that also plays all the god of war games but cant wait for ni no kuni!) Gamecube (GBA player that lets me play any gameboy games on a tv) and a Wii (Virtual console that has Turbo Grafx Ys I&II among other games).

I have seen other systems but I dont get them cause I honestly have no use for them. I gave my kids an N64 cause I dont like it and a Genesis cause I cant honestly think of an exclusive game on there I like in order to keep it (All the PS games are on compiliations as is Sword of Vermillion. I cant afford to own Crusder of Centy). I traded my Dreamcast for a couple of posters.

Hope I didnt post too much in this response, just wanting to show you how I think. I also dont bother with Japanese systems cause I cant read them. :)

If you're in the US, before you buy/start collecting for a Saturn...check-out the prices that the games for it sell for...it will *Not* be a cheap library to fill :P

If you're after RPGs then you're right (but even then games like Legend of Oasis and Shining Wisdom aren't too expensive) but on the whole the expense of the Saturn library is rather overstated - people look at Panzer Dragoon Saga and Radiant Silvergun then here someone mention Heim Waltz and decide that all games must be around the same price. It's a bit like calling the N64 expensive to collect for because the 64DD exists.

The biggest difference between the two systems as a collector (other than graphics, of course) is the price of games. The average good Saturn game is usually gonna cost you at least $20 or more, nowadays. And some of the more sought after ones can cost you $50 or more.

Dreamcast, on the other hand, is a much cheaper system to collect for. Other than the Genesis, it's the cheapest Sega system to collect for (in the U.S. at least). There are tons of cheap good games to get for it.

However if you have the money to blow, the Saturn has a lot more exclusive experiences that still have yet to be re-released.

Speaking of, Kimimi -
