Sega has expressed interest in re-releasing games from their Saturn catalogue, many of which have a legendary cult like status. As for why it wasn’t considered before and why the Mega Drive and Dreamcast were given more priority, this is what Yosuke Okunari of Sega had to say to Japanese site Impress Watch.
"When you look globally the Genesis and Dreamcast are well known, but Saturn is unknown. During that period, PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were a success overseas, but to be honest Saturn was not a success. Because of this, we decided on Dreamcast.”
Fortunately for Sega fans, the Saturn has not been completely ruled out as he goes on to say.
"What we announced this time is a project where we will have consecutive releases of titles that were debuted on Dreamcast. Separate from this, we're of course thinking about ports of Saturn games. It's the same as how SEGA Ages and Virtual Console were separate existences. It's not that we have no intention of porting Saturn titles, so please share your requests."
You heard the man, folks, so share your requests and discuss what Saturn games you would like to see released again.
