I'm a fan of the Saturn as well... but most of its games were fantastic? No way.

I felt N64 was unique, the games it excelled at were very different than its competitors. Its hard to convince fans of Goldeneye, Mario 64, Smash Bros, Zelda, Rare games, that the Saturn has the superior library. I personally spent hundreds of hours with those THQ werstling games on N64.

But for the types of games you and I enjoy, Saturn is much more appealing and quantity on top of that. Saturn also has a lot of games that aged well.

Most the games are great on SS just they pretty much were released only in Japan. Just about every fighting game in 2D is better on SS and it has them in spades. SS was THE console to own for shmups as it is full of them and not seen a bad one. RPG's again I even say has enough quality RPGs to be on par with PS1 but again mainly only in Japan.

Unfortunately for Sega they made a system that emphasized 2D games in a time period when people didn't want 2D games. 

Nintendo should've copied their concept of having a cartridge slot and CD drive all in one though. Had they done that they would've won easily IMO. 

They could've just dropped the RAM expansion slot honestly and let the cartridge slot double as the RAM expansion for CD games too, I believe the Saturn did this as well.
