I wish more Saturn games would receive fan translations, about half of them never made it out of Japan (where it was a huge success btw)

Also it had absolutely kino commercials

Saturn games weren't bad. 5th gen is my least favorite overall as early 3D was rough with awful graphics and camera mechanics.

The problem was Sega's business method of regularly updating their consoles went too crazy by the mid-90s with the Saturn/Genesis/32X/CD/Neptune and Sony took full advantage of that. Sadly, Dreamcast which was a great console, was dead before its arrival due to Sega's prior choices.

I also feel sorry for the dreamcast, since it really wasn't that bad.

No opinion, never owned one and it came super late to Poland (around 95-97) and only in limited quantities so not many people even knew it existed, people were more interested in playing bootleg SNES or buying actual PS1 than that console.

Perhaps you have used the sega Saturn emulator?

Nope they've released all major releases with native PC (or PS2) ports like Virtua Fighters 2, Panzer Dragoon, Sega Rally, Daytona USA. I could emulate Guardian Heroes since it wasn't released on anything other than Saturn and Xb360, i haven't really had much interest in this console and it's games, i may try to do some research after i'm bored of emulating PS2/PS1/PS3/360/Gamecube/wii games.
