This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Sega Saturn, released in Japan on November 22, 1994, and developed by Sega. Known for its cutting-edge technology, the Saturn introduced gamers to a dual-processor architecture that delivered stunning 2D graphics and early forays into 3D gaming. It competed fiercely with the Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64, often overshadowed by their sales but never by its ambition.
Prominent games like Nights into Dreams, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Virtua Fighter 2 showcased its potential and remain cult classics. While the Saturn struggled in Western markets due to a rushed launch and complex hardware, its legacy endures as a console ahead of its time. As we celebrate its anniversary, we remember the Saturn as a bold entry in gaming history.
