Hello everyone,
My name's Nuno, from Portugal. I owned a Sega Saturn when i was a kid (my first console ever) but traded it for a PS one back in 99. Huge mistake now that look back...
My gaming investments have been focused in some Playstation series like Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Shin Megami Tensei, etc, but things changed drastically in the last few weeks.
My cousing (which has always been a Saturn fan) bought a Sega Saturn in incredible condition for me as a Christmas present and my collector's feelings brought me here! I pretty much moved from "i'm not buying anything untill Persona 5 comes out" to "oh crap, i really have to buy all the games i owned as kid and a Panzer Dragoon Saga..." : P
Anyways, i've been far removed of the Sega Universe with the exception of Yakuza and Virtua Fighter for a long long time, and this forum seemed like the perfect opportunity to compensate for the lost time : )
cheers!

Hi!
Have fun rediscovering the Saturn! It's a great system. Hopefully this time you'll discover some extra gems you didn't know about before.
What games do you currently have for it?

It looks like, that Saturn was quite popular in Portugal and Spain, judging by eBay auctions. Is that right?

I'm not sure. I've only lived here for four years! I imagine popularity will be similar to what it was in the UK.

Thanks for the welcome!
As i said, this is quite recent um my gaming investments, so i only have:
Panzer dragoon Panzer dragoon zwei Dragon ball z legends (probably the Mota popular game in Portugal when it comes to the saturn) Robo Pit
Sonic 3d, Virtua fighter 2 And virtual on will be arriving in the coming days. I'm negociating VF1 And nights. Still deciding if i buy a saga copy...
As far as popularity goes, the saturn wasn't too popular in Portugal actually. People moved from mega drive / genesis straight to the PlayStation. I was pretty much the "black sheep" of the group : p
Still, there is something about saturn games... it's not only about nostalgia, it's also a different gaming experience. Just look at panzer dragoon zwei's ost - it's superior to any ps1 final fantasy : p
