A lot of Sega-specific characters including Hornet, the 41 car from Daytona USAWho are the hidden characters?
Two "Virtua Fighters Kids" versions of VF fighters (Sara and Akira), two characters from Sonic the Fighters (Bark and Bean), Rent-a-Hero (a character from a Japan only Mega Drive game), Janet from Virtua Cop 2, the Hornet car from Daytona USA, a powered up version of a Fighting Vipers character, an original character named Deku, a VF cancelled character named Siba, Mr Meat (an original character), and the Sega AM2 logo palm tree.Who are the hidden characters?
I noticed the VF character on the cover and just had to look into it. I saw it in the store and was like "What the fuck is this?!"Yeah, it's very underrated and unknown. I bought it brand new when it came out because I saw Virtua Fighter was in it, and I loved Virtua Fighter, and I absolutely loved it. So many characters, so many secrets, and the mix of the two series really works well. I think I mentioned it in @Smacktard's thread about good Saturn games. A real hidden gem.
Yeah, caught me off-guard too when it came out, never expected a megamix fighting game from Sega, but glad they did it!I noticed the VF character on the cover and just had to look into it. I saw it in the store and was like "What the fuck is this?!"
Yep, that's how I first experienced Wipeout, the PS version is WAY better, but it's still fun on the Saturn.Also saw a CIB copy of Wipeout. Had no idea Wipeout came out on the Saturn.
It's probably also cheaper to acquire on the PS1, as well. It was ~40 bucks on the Saturn.Yep, that's how I first experienced Wipeout, the PS version is WAY better, but it's still fun on the Saturn.
Yeah, Saturn is an extremely expensive console to collect for, Saturn versions are always the more experienced.It's probably also cheaper to acquire on the PS1, as well. It was ~40 bucks on the Saturn.
Also, I have the N64 version.
*screams in MM8 being 10x the price of PS1 version*Yeah, Saturn is an extremely expensive console to collect for, Saturn versions are always the more experienced.
Two stores that are in the St Louis area that I go to have as many if not more Saturn games as Dreamcast games for some reason. It's super weird. Gamecube and Wii U games are on the rare side, too. One store has a handful of 32x games. The other has MULTIPLE graded copies of video games.I think I've only ever seen NSTC Sega Saturn games in the wild like... Three or four times my entire life though.
I wish I lived in a country where yard sales were a thing. I like scoping them out and occasionally finding deals. But even when I was in Japan, I went to the largest flea market in Tokyo, and I didn't see a SINGLE games booth. Pretty incredible really.Yep, I hear you there, online is about it for the hardest to find games anyway. It's a shame, because it removes the thrill of the hunt
Yeah, that's one advantage to here, plenty of yard sales still, though the pickings aren't anything like what they used to be. Everyone thinks they've got gold when they've got old games now, it's quite sadI wish I lived in a country where yard sales were a thing. I like scoping them out and occasionally finding deals.

The hunt is the most fun part! Getting a good deal on eBay just isn't the same.
I blame the abundance of people who buy as many shitty sports games and shovelware as they can just to pad out their collection :/Everyone thinks they've got gold when they've got old games now, it's quite sad
This is acceptable.Sonic R stays, tho.
This was me when I first started collecting. I was so desperate to pad the numbers I didn't care about quality, lol. Thankfully that's all been trimmed away and it's down to just decent (or obscure) stuff now.I blame the abundance of people who buy as many shitty sports games and shovelware as they can just to pad out their collection :/
I only keep games I actually enjoy playing -- games that are good enough to complete, at least. There's a few small exceptions, like I have multiple versions of Okami because it's one of my favorite games. I also kept Spinch because it's artistically interesting, and the first 3 or so worlds are pretty good, but damn does that game fall completely apart.This was me when I first started collecting.

Yeah, that's kind of where I am now, at least in terms of acquiring. I can't afford much, so what I do pick up I want to be something that I will actually play and hopefully enjoy. I still have a lot of trash in my collection, like my Saturn collection, because I was going for a complete collection back when it was doable, but I never finished and so I have a lot of garbage mixed in with the great stuff, lol. It's funny how a collection can evolve over time!I only keep games I actually enjoy playing -- games that are good enough to complete, at least.

...Although I do also have the Virtual Boy collection, so I do have a small collection of shit games
I made the mistake of just buying random games back in the day without being able to look at the quality of the game. A lot of times, if "Suggestive Themes" was included in the rating, I was more likely to buy it. lol. I have two of PS2's more expensive games now because of that habit (Haunting Grounds and Shadow Hearts: From the New World).This was me when I first started collecting.

I refuse to touch the Virtual Boy. I would buy a 3DO and 32x before I buy a VB and games in the library. I hope you at least have the Wario game, it's supposedly one of the few good games for thar hunk of junk. Hell, I have an Atari Jaguar and I refuse to buy a Virtual Boy.Although I do also have the Virtual Boy collection, so I do have a small collection of shit games
Nice impulse buys!I made the mistake of just buying random games back in the day without being able to look at the quality of the game.

It's doable, but it's absolutely going to be pricey.I'd like to pick up a Sega Saturn and collect some games for it, but that's look more like it'll be a pipe dream now.
Probably not doable for me.It's doable, but it's absolutely going to be pricey.
Never say neverProbably not doable for me.
It and Jack Bros are legitimately both pretty good. The 3D effect in some of the games is nice, and Wario does it the best. The game looks like a pop-up book. It's a cool effect. The best game though IMO was never officially released. Bound High. Really good game.I hope you at least have the Wario game, it's supposedly one of the few good games for thar hunk of junk
