About
As of 2026, it's 31 years old.
The Sega Saturn dropped in 1995 with serious 2D muscle and a dual-CPU design that was reportedly a nightmare to program for, which is a fun thing to learn about a video game console.
Sega's surprise early US launch ambushed retailers and developers alike, and then Sony's PlayStation strolled in cheaper and easier to build for. Brilliant arcade ports couldn't save it from a self-inflicted wound.
The powerhouse that lost to its own surprise party.
