It’s just such a nice package, and hell yeah, the hub world is indeed amazing. The whole collection with & Knuckles included was a great move.

The ones I fuck with are Sonic CD, The Fighters, Sonic Colors on DS, all three of the Saturn titles and Robo Blast 2 (which isn’t even official but whatever). The fan made kart racer is fun too.

Seriously, whichever company exec came up with this idea got exactly what they deserve. Sega clearly does not know its fans lol.

People are usually surprised when I describe myself as a Sega fan who does not particularly care for the Sonic games.

I am blaming Sega. They should have known how bad of an idea this was from the rip.

what do you MEAN the developers of Cookie's Bustle contacted every person who registered their copy by mail 25 years ago and invited them to a secret Cookie's Bustle party with live music and merch???

Meowdy again! 🪐 Got distracted making a UI editor and scene loading manager :b New SaturnForge test! The baker makes a huge difference: level 2 has a fully polygonal floor and holds 30 FPS on real hardware! Still WIP. VDP2 tricks work too! Somehow it’s 1am :3 #IndieDev #SegaSaturn #Lowpoly

Discord made it so that double tapping a message leaves a clap emoji and I keep accidentally doing that in highly inappropriate situations. I’m old now. Fuck.

All they had to do was capture 15 seconds of good Bug! footage on the SEGA Saturn for E3 '95, but in the first second they deBug! themselves out of a pit. archive.gamehistory.org/item/92b103… #SEGA #Saturn #SEGASaturn #Bug

Considering how massively unprofitable LLM software continues to be, it seems we will not be the ones who are left behind.

The Saturn original was ported to the OG DS as a Japan exclusive and it has a fan made English patch. :)

I remain pretty bummed out by the state of decompilations, ports, FPGA cores etc these days. The rise of GenAI has really flooded the whole scene with garbage and kinda poisoned the whole concept. Good piece from @pandamonium.bsky.social on it www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c...

C1 has a more humorous art style with its characters and a soft plot that doesn’t matter a whole lot. Revolt went more into having a dramatic plot line. Gameplay pacing in Revolt is a noticeable improvement over C1, though it does a LOT more handholding in its tutorial. Both are quite fun to play.

Thank you for sharing the piece, John. :)

I really want to try out the Dreamcast release after I wrap up with Revolt. Apparently the 360’s Culdcept Saga rated super well too.

PandaMonium @pandamonium.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Okay yeah, it's a little pricey. So I would download it.

PandaMonium @pandamonium.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

It is a sequel. Got a western release, so it's playable in English and everything. Not sure about the pricing, I pirated it illegally on a soft modded console.

Burning through Culdcept Revolt on 3DS after getting through much of the translation of Saturn Culdcept. Fam, this series is so damn good. I highly highly recommend the Culdcept games.

In light of what I posted earlier, I want to encourage others to share retro translations and homebrew that do not use the slop machines. Saturn translations I recommend: Silhouette Mirage Grandia Sakura Wars 1 and 2 Linkle Liver Story Mobile Suit Gundam Bulk Slash The various Shining Force games

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.
