I've decided to create this annual thread so people can reflect on what they wanted and what they obtained last year. As well as aspirations Saturn wise for the rest of the year. Last year was a mix between buying and selling. Last year I obtained
Shining Force 3 Premium Disc Neketsu Oyako Battle Garegga Magic Knight Rayearth [Hikaru Disc] Magic Knight Rayearth [Umi Disc] Radiant Silvergun Shinrei Taromaru Street Fighter Zero 3 [With 4mb ram expansion cart] Multi-Tap Action Replay with Comms Port USB datalink (for Action Replay just mentioned)
Last year I sold
Croc Duke Nukem 3D Soukyugurentai Shining Force 3 Resident Evil Panzer Dragoon Zwei Action Replay DoDonPachi Thunder Force 5 Batman Forever Arcade Swagman Castlevania SotN
I also sold off a bunch of Neo-Geo stuff in preparation for an everdrive coming out. Something which has yet to materialize. So I just ended up spending it on Saturn related stuff instead.
I wasn't planning on buying as much stuff as I did, but it was just the way things played out. Then again, I didn't plan on selling Swagman either, but I'm glad I sold it to a regular on here and not just held onto it for another 3-4 years. Before releasing it back into the wild.
As for this year, I got a lot on my plate in terms of saving for other non-saturn gaming related stuff. Mainly a neo-geo everdrive, as well as a Polymega (assuming it gets released this year), and not to mention non-gaming related stuff as whole. However, I do wish to obtain Cotton: Boomerang. If anyone is interested in selling it to me then hook me up. Otherwise it's just a case of bidding my time for months on end till I can get a reasonable deal.

I picked up a lot last year, and while I don't plan to buy nearly as much this year, in total dollars it may come close.
Winter Heat Panzer Dragoon Zwei NTSC-U Clockwork Knight 2 Hardcore 4x4 Bulk Slash Shining Wisdom Deep Fear (NTSC-J) Virtua Fighter Sonic R
And two I'll only get if the price is significantly lower than current: Magic Knight Rayearth Burning Rangers

Have narrowed down to my final two:
Panzer Dragoon Saga (PAL) must come with a sleeve or my OCD will prevent me from sleeping.
Virtua Stick pro (Astro city dual stick) not yellowed.

Since I've lost my job and was burgled my 1st priority is a regular grey jp model 1 so I can play outrun again.However after that and I'm back on my feet financialy I'm looking to get Battle Garregga,Radiant Silvergun and Batsugun. I'm thinking of selling my Core Grafx 2 so maybe I'll consider getting some more off my wishlist aswell.

JP Version of Nights and Christmas Nights, and a white 3D controller. Maybe a JP version of Baku Baku.
I would also like to get JP Outrun.
I don't see me getting much else this year on any console. In fact I may consider selling some stuff.
I am expecting a classic cabinet to arrive over the next few days (Asteroids Deluxe) and depending on that experience, I may look at getting a nice JAMMA cabinet and a small selection of PCBs - funded by offloading a lot of stuff that seems quite valuable such as my 80 SNES CIB games.

You've got the cream of the crop with those 3 Saturn shooters. Largely considered the best top 5 Saturn shumps. Batsugun probably my favorite outta those 3. I'm not after any new games for my Saturn as I have all the ones I ever wanted. I am however in the process of exchanging a few of my PAL games for JPN or US versions. Mainly the optimised PAL games I'm letting go. Just recently gor rid of my PAL Guardian Heroes disc and obtained the US version. The difference is immense. Also always looking out to swap all my PAL Cardboard cased games for the later Plastic cased games where possible. Just have two more to find.

I think I'm about done with the Saturn at this point, or at least, with all the games I can actually afford.
For this year, I'm looking to the Dreamcast and more modern releases.
Saturn: Steep Slope Sliders at one point or another, I have a soft spot for winter sports games.
Dreamcast: Would love to get Shenmue, and Shenmue II if I like the first, I have yet to have time to play the series. Rez (for a good price) Chu Chu Rocket Maybe Grandia II
PS4: NieR: Automata Gravity Rush Journey collectors edition Dear Esther Abzu SotC remake Shenmue III?
I definitely won't get all of these, but it's at least a starting place.

I want to add Sonic Jam and Sonic R to my collection. Not big ticket games, and games I had as a kid, but I really want them again.
Additionally I need to pick up a 3D controller at some point.

I'd love a Virtua stick pro (I already have a Virtua stick) SFz 3 if I can find at a decent price I don't really collect but I've been picking up JP titles when I can get them cheap and have to admit I wouldn't mind getting the Capcom Titles completed. Outside that it seems that Retro-bit are exhibiting at CES and they have shown off their Sega wave 1 stuff. Wireless Saturn controllers seems a must have, and probably a Saturn VGA box. In the future maybe we could see a Saturn retrocade style console

If you need extra length on the cables go buy the extension cables or US Multitap instead.

Apart from my recent games of Christmas NiGHTS, I've not touched my Saturn in a while. The last I recall was finally figuring out how the parallel system worked in Dark Savior, which I picked up late last year.
I didn't pick up many Saturn games last year, so my list remains much the same as it was then, minus the few I picked up.
PAL
Clockwork Knigh Clockwork Knight 2 Duke Nukem 3D
Enemy Zero Gex
Grid Run
Lost Vikings 2 Manx TT Superbike SEGA Touring Car Championship Steep Slope Sliders Swagman Torico Virtual On
US Albert Odyssey Astal Magic Knight Rayearth Megaman X4
Japan Action Replay 4-in-1 Cotton 2 Dead or Alive Dodonpachi Elevator Action Returns Street Fighter Zero 3 Thunderforce V X-Men vs Street Fighter Vampire Saviour
