SEGATA-SAAAAN!!!!!!!

[byrc]

I know many of you guys are very young and may not even remember a console called the Sega Saturn, which is a shame, because that means you definitely missed out on perfectly Arcade Ported Street Fighter games like Xmen vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Street Fighter. How about Shining Force series or Panzer Dragoon. How can you forget LUNAR. I feel bad for you young'uns.

Anyway, that means you weren't old enough to remeber the GREAT SEGATA-SAN. Who was actor with a kickass attitude who was used a marketing tool in Sega Saturn's commercials.

In every commercial he either kicked little kids asses or blew people up just by throwing them. In his final commercial he even stopped an ongoing Missile, just to save the president of Sega. Now takes guts. He's basically the Japanese equivalent of Chuck Norris. He will beat your ass if you don't play Sega Saturn games.

Here's the theme song for you sadly deprived young gamers:

Here is link to a couple of his commercials. Back in '98 I use to look all over for weird japanese commercials, and was happily suprised to see this site, giving me hours of fun goodness with horrible game quotes.

Know your roots people. PLAY SEGA SATURN GAMES OR SEGATA-SAN WILL KICK YOUR ASS!

So you've played games on the saturn, what's your favorite game on it?
Mine favorites are Sega Rally, Panzer Dragoon Saga( wondering if there's ever gonna be a sequel ), Virtua CopII, Dragon Force, Mystaria( allthough the graphics were terrible, the gameplay was superb ) and I've probably forgotten some classics.

I remember my favorite game being House of the Dead (it used to scare the crap out of me). I didn't buy Panzer Dragoon, until recently (I think it was about 2 years ago), and boy did that cost me a lot (I think I forked over about $90). This was a really cool system, too bad I only have 2 games for it (what a shame, what a shame).

I didn't realize the Saturn even had a mascot (especialy one that would be like Chuck Norris ). Back then, I was stuck on the Genesis and SNES.

Kami, your back!

I found out about Segata Sanshiro several years ago, and he was just as awesome then as he still is today. What's even more awesome is that Zany VG page has three movies starring him I never saw before!

I believe if you poke around you can find some other really good ones, like this ice skating one, and this hilarious Christmas one. I think this page has most of them.
