Capcom and the Sega Saturn - Over 30 Games Covered! 

In addition to the RAM expansion which allows for more animation frames, there's also the gamepad with its 6 front buttons. Game changer for fighting games.

All I need is some popcorn to enjoy some Sega Lord X videos. I'm having some chimichangas

Saturn was the place for fighting games, PlayStation for RPGs and the N64 for first person shooters. Crazy times.

I like how the zombies bleeding on the floor in the saturn version of resident evil is much more noticeable than it is in the ps1 version

I have a soft spot for 90s Capcom . Mostly because of games like Resident Evil , Street Fighter 2 , Darkstalkers & Dino Crisis on the PlayStation. But I wish I could have played the Sega Saturn version of these games especially Resident Evil on the Saturn so I could play the Battle game on that version. I have never played the Arcade perfect ports of Street Fighter Alpha & X-Men vs Street Fighter. Great coverage as always Sega Lord X you are really got me wanting to get a Saturn so I could play X-Men Children of the Atom . I love that game 😃

Capcom and Japanese Saturn was such a powerful combination. Such good times looking thru the back of Diehard Gamers magazine for upcoming Saturn Japanese releases...

Very cool video. I was a N64 kid but have always been fascinated by the Saturn. It was so poorly marketed from what I remember from that gaming era. Playstation was so huge it seemed to get the most attention and support. I love hearing about the Saturn and all the games it had.

Fun thing about ports like Mega Man 8 and X4 is that they actually had a couple tweaks despite the worse sound quality and lack of transparencies. Mainly in things like background heat haze effects, or how X4 got songs with altered intros and loop points. 8 on the other hand was a special version with secret Cut Man and Wood Man boss fights and a new Tengu Man theme, effectively being the more complete package.

The Saturn is my all time fav system...1995 was my favorite year in gaming, followed by 1991 & 1998

SF Alpha 3 is probably the best 32 bit game if someone cares for fighters.

Awesome video dude. Between Capcom and SNK converting titles to Saturn and supporting the RAM cartridge, IMO the Saturn was a must-own console. It still is!

Thank you

Wow a whole hour, nice! Thanks SLX

Capcom really loved the Saturn esp with that expansion slot their Fighting games were perfect

Love the Saturn & Capcom. Killer combo...

Is Final Fight CD not a Capcom title?

that Rooster game has a similar vibe to a Run'n'gun version of Magic Sword

Most capcom fighters played amazingly well on the saturn cause of the ram expansion if im not mistaken

Really appreciate that you call out old game reviews for being full of BS I think the bar was a lot lower in the past to fake like you were a game expert

@sega lord x , this is just what I needed!! TY!🤘

Hearing SLX throw shade at DieHardGameFan may be one of the funniest things I've heard all day. There were things to like about that magazine, but the backstage shenanigans are almost more interesting then the actual product that was being produced.

Great video as always. But why when it comes to MSH vs SF people never state the obvious about what makes this title stand out from the rest in the vs series. The announcer he says every person in the game finishing move except for Cyber Akuma how is this looked past lol 😆

This was amazing video

Alien vs Predator on the Saturn would've been my system seller, among all of the 2D fighters.

Man, I can't wait for my MODE to arrive so I can play all these without breaking the bank or putting further wear on my laser.

Awesome thanks segalordx great work Sir

are you getting the Sega Genesis Mini 2? looking forward to your review

I'm four days into a pretty heinous bout of covid right now and this vid gave me the 1200 cc of nostalgia that I needed to power through

nice. I like this. 👍

I never knew the saturn had so many great games, they should have released them to westerners. I always thought the saturn was a rushed system, 2d games were out and 3d was in. Seeing this is awesome.

Really wish we'd have got a streets of rage on the Saturn. The hardware would have been great for a game in that series

I played darkstalkers 3 as a kid all the time on the PlayStation it really is the greatest fighting game

Heyy boss, who would you recommend as your Super Nintendo equivalent?

That children of the Atom game looked so modern. It looks like todays fighters.

Didn't Capcom release Final fight CD for the sega CD?

So wild to see resident evil footage, crazy that game used to scare me so much, looking at it now it's unbelievable how dated it is in every way lol. Walls are just totally barren for the most part, sounds are dull and slow, music is basic and simple, classic game but compared to what we're used to today, it's just a night and day difference now, unbelievable how far games have come

Sega Lord X you are wrong vampire saviour has left japan officially, is now on ps4/ps5 and Xbox One in the capcom collection. Including the japanese releases and in english also.

So did Capcom actually MAKE any games for the Saturn? Because everything in this video seems like a port that was in arcades or on PlayStation first.

You keep saying "tah-tey" for tate, but i always assusmed it was "tate" (tayt) for rotate. It would be pronounced that was if it were a japanese word, but it is a play on the word rotate in english, thus pronounced simply as "tate."

Dungeons and dragons ? Tower of doom and shadow over mystara

Street Fighter the movie is an okay game, I think it gets so much hate because players knew blank, e Honda etc so well that people in costume just looked so lame compared to the games. Van damme had a fling with Kylie Minogue during filming. Lucky guy!

These episodes are what makes SLX the man. I just wanna pick up my Saturn controller and play ‘em all.

Dear Capcom and Sega. Make a Saturn mini with this line up. Signed, Everyone

Excellent chronological walkthrough of Capcom’s great support of the SegaSaturn. A few minor details you missed: 3:19 Hanako-san ga Kita!! happens to be Takumi Shū’s very first game. He would go on to become much more famous for the Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) series. 12:11 This mahjong game was the last software released for the 3DO in Japan. The 3DO version had been announced (and probably completed) a long time prior, but it seems Capcom waited to finish the SS & PS ports in order to release all versions simultaneously in June 1996. 32:46 Vampire Savior on the Saturn has another outstanding feature: it actually combines the rosters from all three arcade versions of the game (Vampire Savior, Vampire Hunter 2, Vampire Savior 2). CPS2 boards did not have enough memory space to feature all 18 characters so they had to split different roster configurations in three different versions. But thanks to the CD-ROM’s space, they could all fit together on the Saturn, which makes it an (even more) amazing port.

People hated on street fighter the movie because the game was bad. However after seeing what a mess the arcade was, capcom decided to take things in hand for the saturn port. So they took all the art assets that were produced for the game (sprites, backgrounds, sounds,etc) and pasted them onto the SF2T engine. The result is that you have a game that plays nothing like the original SF2:The Movie game and almost identical to SF2T.

Why does Mr. Sega Lord X never dash while playing Mega Man X? That seems like it would be a really boring way to play the game to be honest

X-Men vs Street Fighter was the first of many import games I got through NSCX between 1997-1999. I guess that really distorts my memory of the Saturn, because I had lots of great games to play long after I got bored of my N64. Vampire Savior is probably my favorite import of all the great Saturn imports!

One hour of sega saturn!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!

I'd love you to do a similar one for Psygnosis on the Saturn! Such a fascinating history, especially with the unreleased games.

I fixed a few pizza rolls and sat back like I was watching a mini movie. Another great hit SLX

1 hour! 😱 Thanks SLX ! Capcom and SNK are Segasaturn's VVIPs

Oh Capcom and Sega really hit it off during the Saturn and Dreamcast eras

Wow, CAPCOM on the Saturn... this is gonna be a hell of a great video! Thanks for all the amazing stuff u bring to us, Sega Lord X!

The nostalgia bomb that goes off every time I hear your intro and that “segaaaa” hits me in the feels and transport me to the 90’s if not for a second . Thanks man

Spot on coverage Sega Lord. And they just warmed up… the Dreamcast somehow was even well supported by Capcom. God bless those guys who worked there during those eras. They really delivered amazing content!

What's up everyone

Street Fighter Alpha 2 was damn near perfect on the Sega Saturn. That port was the reason I was able to become a challenge to other players when I visited the arcade.

I’ve discovered so many things I never knew because of you, SLX!!! You’re one of my go-to sources for ANYTHING game related. Impeccable and unparalleled content.

Capcom on SEGA Saturn was beastly! I just found your channel. I’m a subscriber. Love!❤

My favorite Capcom game on Sega saturn is actually the dungeons and dragons collections. Perhaps the best beat'm up game I've played to this day.

The Saturn was great for playing fighting games. Played the hell out of children of the atom and street fighter alpha. The Saturn controller was far superior for playing these types of games.

The mvps for Saturn for sure. My only issue is that they went lazy with the Capcom generation games. They could’ve easily ported some of their arcade beat ‘em up ips on those collections if they wanted to instead of putting crap like 1942 and 1943 and charging full retail for it

Anyone else see right through that Lady Decade scam in real time tho..? 🤣😂

A lot of great work, and you will have to continue with Capcom on Dreamcast... :)

ANY fighting game capcom made in the 90s is 100% better on the saturn. ALL of them. NO exceptions. Theres a reason why Xmen vs street fighter and Marvel vs street fighter, and all those other games are so much more expensive on the used "retro" market in Japan on the Saturn. they are objectively superior in EVERY way.

36:31 what is that Lion doing bro?

Oh man, that Gamefan story is triggering. I hate how gaming media at the time seemed so intent on killing the Saturn. Such a waste.

do konami next

Funnily enough, I had already seen all of these on one of your older videos but still watched most of this upload with glee. I definitely have to thank you as someone who grew up in the 80s but only played or owned (in what seemingly is) a fraction of the games you have posted about over the years. Once this “shipping issue” between Valve and FedEx clears up, I’m seriously turning my Steam Deck into a retro handheld. There’s literally years worth of games (and a ton of weird Arcade or Japan only games / spin-offs) I’m so ready to play. I got a notes long doc of pretty much games I want replay and a ton from your vids. I can’t thank you enough! Now all that’s stopping me now is a paid off but undelivered $700 device “lol”.

Tbf the Saturns lack of transparency was an issue in other games lol. I love the Saturn but the versatility of the PS1 didnt help things for Sega at that time, with of course the strong brand presence like you mentioned, bias etc. but part of that was Segas fault for screwing up so hard in the west with the 32X and the Saturn launch etc. so part of that uphill battle was very much Sega reaping what it had sown.

Kinda weird that the only thing of note about the otherwise bland and disappointing Rockman 3 release on the Saturn wasn't talked about. :P And I'm not talking about the FMV.

From 1997, when the Sega Saturn finally had the 4mb expansion cart, and then on the Sega Dreamcast in 99-01….. that brief window in console gaming history … I genuinely believe served as the ABSOLUTE CULMINATION APEX of BOTH CAPCOM & SEGA. From the arcade perfect ports of CPS-2 fighters, CPS-3 fighters, Naomi fighters, in addition to all the other incredible Capcom titles on those consoles, I genuinely believe it was the collaborative, culmination APEX for both companies. If only they could have disregarded people like Bernie Stolar, who stupidly proclaimed the market for 2d games was dead in North America….. we could have had THE PUNISHER, ALIEN VS PREDATOR, and many other of the Japanese exclusive ram cart titles here in the USA, helping the Saturn sell way more units. None of the 3d Street Fighter (SF4, SF5, etc) or marvel versus titles (mvc3, mvci) that were released for consoles since, have bested what was on the Saturn and Dreamcast. Some impressive Capcom games in other genres have come since … but for what I loved about Capcom, nothing beat the Dreamcast & Saturn

Capcom to their credit supported Sega's consoles to the end.

Capcom should've just released Rockman x3 on the genesis since it was just a 16 bit game.

Can’t wait to watch this video fully. I just got here as soon as I was notified.

There's a reason why Capcom released a game based on Guyferd... It was because it was a Capcom co-creation with Toho. They even put Megaman X3's opening and Resident Evil's Ending on the series soundtrack disc.

I was a proud owner of Street Fighter The Movie on the Saturn.

Great video, as always :) But small correction, didn't Final Fight see a release in the Sega-CD?

In Sega Lord X's case, I prefer the shorter format because of how dense the videos are. Each video is jampacked with information related to a precise topic. These are not documentaries, these are newspaper articles, including in Mel's excellent writing style. In a newspaper article, you go grab the info. In a documentary, you try to get the full picture. For example, how did the Shinobi Team work. That is your documentary. Bearing in mind a documentary takes a awful lot of work, I am very happy with the weekly newspaper article format. If anything, like all Sega fans, I am pleasantly surprised how Mel has stayed so consistent in the great quality of his awesome work over time. That is some achievement.

Funny sounds awfully similar to Sonys fight against Microsoft Activision acquisition efforts.

Capcom is a great company im glad to see another facet of their creative genius

It is an unbelievable sin, that the Capcom vs games especially never released outside of Japan. Especially when the PlayStation was objectively worse for 2d games like this, until Alpha 3.

weakest link indeed,I've never seen or heard of any of those games on that compilation

Nick Rox (gamefan) was a cringy Playstation fanboy. Surprise, surprise. Blue shadows, my ass.

i remember i preorder X-Men vs Street Fighter in 1997 is still have i back to to play again i got sony pvm monitor

Capcom is the reason I own a Saturn. I was buying a Playstation and I picked some games. the guy at the counter (who was playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 on Saturn) noticed they were all Capcom Fighters. he told me all those games and games like them were better on Saturn. Growing up a Nintendo Kid I didn't think about the Saturn. it also ended up being cheaper and I got more games 😁 that day I got the Saturn, X-men, SF Alpha 1 & 2, Night Warriors and SF the Movie 😂. I did get a Playstation, but not till Resident Evil 2 came out

Nintendo and Capcom are leaving MONEY on the table. There are so much games from The Saturn that would translate perfectly on the Switch.

Best version of Street fighter Alpha PS1 vs Saturn were many nights of arguments with my friends. It was worse than VF vs Toshinden.

I still can't understand why SEGA didn't release these great arcade titles in USA and Europe. They have very little dialogue to translate, they still look great and they are the best versions. I played most of them on Playstation, as they were the only available ones in Europe, and they were very popular, which proves that the interest in action games was still there. Saturn deserved better support and a full lifespan. SEGA would triumph today with all the indie 2D games, which are arcade games at heart, and action online games, like Outrigger. I hope they find the neccessary funds and talented people for a full comeback, even if it looks improbable.

I can only expect an SNK and Saturn at some point now

Capcom rules!!! Nice upload SLX I *will* catch you next time

I still never beat Shin Akuma in Alpha 2 Gold 😅

Cyberbots is what a Gundam fighting game should’ve been

All I want from RU-vid is SEGA Lord-X making videos about SEGA!

This is incredible if only they will make the Sega Saturn mini with all of the Capcom games on it 🙌🏆🎮

Hey, Sega Lord X. You should definitely do a video on Capcom and the original PlayStation.

You continue to outdo yourself

If you were importing Saturn 4mb games in 97-98, then playing DC in 99-2000...you really were on a level beyond people only playing PS1 or waiting for the PS2 exaggerated promises. In hindsight it's even a bigger disparity because stuff like Vampire Savior on Saturn looks drastically better than any game in the entire PS1 library now that all 32 bit polygon based games have aged horribly.

awesome games, they maintained the highest quality

Great video even tho I was born in 1991 and my first game systems were the play station and n64 I always had a love for sega when I was a kid my dad had a sega genesis and I bought my first dreamcast back in 2008 off ebay when I was in high school
