Despite me never owning a saturn, both consoles have nice collections of games.

Both consoles had great libraries, although it cannot be denied that many of the Saturn's best titles were stuck in Japan.
And the Saturn got stuck with the reputation of being inferior to the PS1, which was technically untrue as the Saturn had more RAM and better 3D graphical capabilities.

The Dreamcast could never hope to compete with the PS2 though, and Sega's decision to not use the DVD-ROM format was a major factor for many people (including myself) to hold off and wait for the PS2.

Most of my favorite games for both consoles were arcade ports. Although great, arcade games are ultimately shallow gaming experience compared to the flood of RPGs both the PS1 and PS2 enjoyed.

L'une avait une architecture complexe pour les développeurs (processeur 2D et 3D) + périphérique etc...
Alors que l'autre est nettement plus simple, plus "soft"

2 sides of the same coin really

Saturn: 2D arcade powerhouse with a bunch of great 3D games

Dreamcast: 3D arcade powerhouse with a bunch of great 2D games

Both complement each other imho

Saturn has the overall better library though, but it was around way longer than the Dreamcast, so that’s only logical…

As an owner of both, they each have their own merits. Though getting to the party pretty late 2/3 of Saturn collection is Fighters and other more common multiplayer focused games. Though my Dreamcast collection is only slightly better for that matter.

Hmm Saturn is a console I always wanted, but to me DC just appealed more in recent times.
The controller , FPS games just ticked more boxes with DC.

Who knows though, I'm still contemplating buying the Saturn to expand Sega console evolution which I'm compiling/collecting.

For me the translated better versions of classic rpgs tip the saturn over being having the better games there a tons of little known games that are ace including homebrew contests with new 3d homebrew pushing the machine past what it ever had for retail.. really good arcade conversions of many games as well sega = arcade so both machines have that.. saturn has many more rpgs now due to translations so for me it is the best for games ..
