2. You may be surprised to see that the way the Saturn was handled in the US not being on this list. I actually mainly followed the Saturn in Japan, where I received 5 years of quality releases. I was pretty happy with the Saturn's life overall.

3. The Sega CD's sprite scaling and rotation came at enormous cost to performance in many games. This is likely why Sega rarely used it. But this still doesn't explain why it was put in the machine in the first place. If Sega knew it would be hard to implement, why not just make a cheap CDROM addon like NEC and focus on things like cinematics, soundtracks, and FMV at a MUCH cheaper price?

4. Be wary of Saturn VF3 footage that circles the net. It's not genuine. There is no footage of the actual game running to my knowledge.

5. I figure I'm gonna get a lot of responses in regards to Panzer Dragoon Saga. Keep in mind I was not a huge RPG kid and much preferred action games.

6. A lot of folks bring up the uneven terrain in VF3 as a reason the Saturn couldn't have done it. This is simply not true. VDP2 could do slanted surfaces(like VF3's rooftop stage), and VDP1 could overlay sprites onto VDP2 to simulate height changes(such as Contra Legacy of War). It would have looked different to be sure, but VF2 turned out just fine and it looked quite different as well.
