SEGA’s Yosuke Okunari, producer on the Dreamcast re-releases for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PSN, has said the publisher hasn’t forgotten about the Saturn and is considering porting its titles too.
Speaking to Impress Watch (translated by andriasang), Okunari explained why SEGA chose to bypass the Saturn and jump straight to porting Dreamcast games.
“When you look globally the Genesis and Dreamcast are well known, but Saturn is unknown,” said Okunari. “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.”
This certainly doesn’t mean we won’t see Saturn titles ported to the current home consoles in the future, though.
“What we announced this time is a project where we will have consecutive releases of titles that were debuted on Dreamcast,” explained Okunari. “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.”
