Didn't Sega say they no longer possess even the code for that which is why no non Saturn release has ever happened? I never thought that picking the game up for dead cheap back in the 90s would be one of the only times I'd ever see the game sold for less than 100 quid.

 

You are complicating things. They make an emulator, like the other virtal consoles and just add the game in. Source code is not needed. Honestly though, it's a cheap excuse. Fans managed to fan translate the rest of SF3 without the source code. I'm sure SEGA can too.

Problem is no one even today has ever managed to produce a perfectly functional Saturn emulator because of how the Saturn works, the system was a mess of chips so each game is not fully compatible with emulators as a result and Saga is one of the most notable games that doesn't work well with emulators with constant crashes, the best Saturn emulator today requires a beefy PC to run. This isn't like N64, PS1 or other systems Saturn has complex issues which is why they've said they require the code.
