JP Saturn Games for sale

[Opethian]

SOLD

[Starfighter]

You have $30 shipped for Batsugun here.. It's missing the spinecard, right?

[Opethian]

sorry I cant do $30 for that game is thats the only thing you are wanting to buy.
I'll part with the lot for $800

[SignOfZeta]

WTF is a %30 working game?

BTW, there is no need to make up BS excuses about broken systems. Just say, "I'm getting out of Saturn, its no fun to me any more. I was only in it for the r@re." If you really liked those games you'd only have to trade away one of them to get a system to play the rest on.

[Opethian]

No one has offered but I wouldnt turn it down.

[SignOfZeta]

I have a perma-moded US system you can have for any game on that list (except Darius Gaiden, Layer Section 1, or anything less than %100 working). Its an OG oval button model. Ugly, but %100 working.

lay off zeta, let the guy sell in peace...

Hey zeta do you have hate for all US system? or maybe just the black ones?...you system racist
Is your car white to?

Ope let me look into those games you posted... in the market for some saturn goodness for my ugly us modded system.

[SignOfZeta]

A US Saturn isn't really ugly, its just way too plain. All the (few) details it has just blend into the blackness.

Both my cars are black, as was my previous car. Half my clothes are black as well.

My problem with black US systems usually has to do with them being changed to black just for Americans. Its true that a lot of people in the US love huge black things (ie: Cadillac Escalade) and its true that some of us buy brown underwear "just in case" not all of us are like that. I think the PC Engine looks great the way it was designed originally, and I have no urge to buy a larger, blacker, TG-16 just because I live in the US. The Mega Drive/Genesis on the other hand wouldn't look right in any other color. Its supposed to look like a part from an anime spaceship or a Blade Runner prop, and it does. If you changed it to white, it would just look like a bizarre variation. Gameboys generally look good in any color, and are designed that way to begin with.

Also, and this is just a historical observation, I've come to associate black systems with failed systems, and people who collected failed systems, and the failed trailers they collect them in. This probably just has more to do with my background though. If you walked into any mid-Michigan trailer house in 1993 with weed stench pouring out the windows and sounds of Mortal Kombat II...you can be sure they were playing that shit on a Genesis and not a SNES.

Also, I've known a lot of those guys who collect anything video game related as long as it sucks. They end up with a lot of systems, and they are mostly black. Sometimes you'll even see eBay auction lots like this. They'll have a Genesis with 32x, a couple of CDi and 3DOs, they will have a Saturn (with the games Gex, and Fifa 97), and a Turbo Grafx. You'll see a black Gameboy Advance in the corner of the picture at first, but then realize that its the original model and not an SP or Micro or anything you can actually see the screen on. They have a giant pile of unplayable crap. Some of it might be playable, the decent systems, but they only have the crap games.

I got enough games sold to buy the system I wanted now thanks for playing.

My Japanese Saturn is dark gray and not much different, also the original model with the access light looks cool.

The Atari 2600 was black, and dominated the market in its era. Same with the PS2. But yeah, generally speaking systems that were Gray or white (NES, SNES, Playstation One, Wii) have been more successful.

Also, Mortal Kombat as a series was way more popular on Genesis, not even just due to the blood that was censored in the SNES version but due to the audience. Sega's core audience in the 1990s was largely based on casual players who were big into sports games (remember, the first real killer app for the system, before Sonic was Madden) and blood and guts. The Genesis mostly had todays Xbox 360 audience. The SNES audience had most of the younger gamers as well as a lot of the older ones interested in its RPGs. The result was a game like MK which gained infamy not through being an awesome fighting game but for its digitized blood was far more popular with the Sega crowd despite being multi-platform.

Yep, it goes with the audience I mentioned before. There's a strange twist in that the PS3 and the 360's stock models are reversed in color from the norms of their audiences.

The 2600 predates this phenomenon. Also, its black and fake wood.

Only the first MK was censored, after that the SNES versions were much better. Of course, that's a horrible fucking series so "better" is relative. The graphics and sound were better, is what I mean.

[TheClash603]

Cyber Smoke is one of my favorite game characters of all time, stop the MK hate!

[SignOfZeta]

MK is such utter shite.

Recently a friend of mine said something about how the newest MK game was going to "bring it back" or something about how it was going to be good like the old games. WTF? That's like saying 2LiveCrew is going back to their roots and making their first good record since the old days. THEY'VE NEVER MAKE A GOOD RECORD...and there are no good MK games.

When someone's only retort is "stop hate'n", then its pretty obvious they don't have a leg to stand on.

[Gogan]

I'm a big mk fan, here's my 2cents

2D mk= win
3D mk= fail

[Gogan]

The newest mk coming out next year has 3D renders on a 2D plane. Looks badass, if ur into that sorta thing.

There's word about an hd remake of mk1,2 and 3 coming out soon.  I hope its true

[Raizen1984]

MK is such utter shite.

Pretty much.

The appeal seems to be a combination of the gore and a nostalgia for the gore.  This was before the ESRB, and there was a certain edginess/coolness factor playing something like that back then.  The appeal is largely lost nowadays with the content in games today.

That's all I can figure anyway; I've never seen a convincing argument from a Mortal Kombat fan as to why the games are good.

[Gogan]

Because they are fun.

[Gogan]

That's  the reason we play any game, no?

[Starfighter]

I agree. We all like what we like, there is no need for a reason more than "fun". I'm not particularly fond of the MK-series but I had a lot of fun with those games when I was young. And explaining why I liked them is just redundant.
