If you don't speak Japanese, this topic has slowly moved to "good US Saturn games."
I'm not sure what this means. You don't have to "speak Japanese" to play an import Saturn game. Its a disc, its round, same size and shape, put in the machine, turn it on, use the controller. Pretty simple.
As with the PC Engine, knowledge of Japanese isn't required for the vast majority of JP Saturn games. Most of the really popular Saturn imports are fighting games and shooters, most of which have all English text anyway, in the places where they have any text at all. So you can't read the endings in XMen vs Street Fighter. So what? They don't make any damn sense no matter what language they are in.
My apologies for using the word speak, rather than read. As a person who knows only one language, I assume the two go together, but that may be my ignorance at work.
However, my point was that several import suggestions were not the best, because I have played the US versions, and had the game been in another language, I would not have beem able to play. Unfortunately, paying the premium for a US version of a game like Dragon Force is often necessary.
I agree the Saturn is a popular choice for imports due to shooters and fighting games, and to the topic creator, I suggest mainly importing that type of game.
One counter to my own point of getting the US version of a game is Saturn Bomberman. US version is very expensive, but the import is not. This is the best Bomberman game, and a must buy in my opinion.
