I sent Gametap a suggestion to include Sega Saturn games and I'm glad they listened. Now all they have to do is bring Dragon Force.

SHINING FORCE III

I'll pay anything to play this game. Anything under $160 on Ebay. :(

Redfire29

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Yeah but this will probably be a lot better written than SSF.

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> humm well the saturn needs a really good cpu to be able to emu right. hell the best saturn emu's ssf needs at least a 3200+ amd 64

faizboy

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Guardian Heroes? Shining Force III? Panzer Dragoon RPG?

Make Gametap Mac compatible and I'm in. Or somebody just get me a copy of Windows and I'll do it myself.

Agreed that the Saturn emulation scene is pretty bleak. However I find Saturn SSF to be a more than sufficent emulator. Was playing Panzer Dragoon Saga this morning on my Intel Celeron M laptop.

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> i've got my fingers crossed for Panzer Dragoon Saga,
i played it a few times, it still is my favorite RPG ever...and ranks pretty high as one of my favorite games ever but i want more people to experience the greatness that is Panzer Dragoon Saga....hell I'd play it again too

phantomz

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> I demand Dragon Force, and lots of it.

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Guardian Hero's..... i love thee

richhigg

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> @NoBullet: The Dreamcast games are actual emulated games. They are the real deal.

As for Bug... It probably is the PC version, buy only time will tell.

Funnydale

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> And I am still waiting for Gametap to become Mac compatible. I have hope, if Adult Swim(their half sister on their father side) can do it, it just a matter of time.

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> @KiySeph:

Yeah thats how its been with other sega titles. Theyre just the PC version. There werent that many saturn games brought to the PC either. Stuff like virtua cop, virtua fighter, daytona. Dont expect stuff like Gaurdian Heroes or NiGHTS. They already had PC versions of DC games on gametap for a long time

NoBullet

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> If Nights into Dreams is here, I may bite...but still hoping that makes its way onto the Wii VC (I mean, if Genesis is on it, why can't the Saturn?)

SuperFox

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> I'm pretty positive it's the PC version of the Saturn titles...

KiySeph

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> And to continue, the "more games for the Sega Saturn" part will likely mean Sonic 3D Blast PC (not Genesis version), Last Bronx PC, Virtua Fighter 2 PC, etc.

CZroe

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Who said anything about Saturn games? Bug! was available for PC and that is likely what GameTap is using. I played the demo and it actually ran TOO FAST on my Cyrix 133MHz CPU (IBM P150 in an old black Acer Aspire w/ 16MB system memory and NO 3D support... integrated or otherwise).

CZroe

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> I'd rather see them on the Playstation Network, but I'm biased.

Hell put em on all the consoles, if they can. It wouldn't hurt anyone. Except maybe Gametap.

hmmm.. Gametap for PSN? I like.

Scuba Steve

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> I know I'm with the minority here (maybe just the way I feel), but for some reason I rather see the Saturn games on Xbox live than on the the Virtual console.

rgam2000

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> OH snaps, if they've got Guardian Heroes..I'm IN.

exkon

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> @ArmyofJuan: The exact two games that came to my mind.

Karlott

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Radiant Silvergun would be... it won't happen most likely, but the ability to play it without spending several hundred dollars would be nothing short of awesome.

Regulus

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> does this effect their WiiVC probablity? Cus I'm dead serious when I said I wanted virtua cop with the wiimote and zapper.

MJDeviant

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> For the record, here are all three of the hidden Easter egg games currently on GameTap...

Bug(Insect)

Wing Commander(tiger claw)

Warlords:Battle-Cry 3(Snakemen of Keshan)

Funnydale

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> It would be really nice to play those rare/awesome Saturn games without spending hundreds of dollars on Ebay. I'll be game.

mattstockton12

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> I was really skeptical about GameTap at first too. But now that they have the Sam and Max episodes I find myself spending more and more time on the service. If you have a wired 360 controller it's an even better experience.
And to respond to the person who said GameTap should be on a console that idea is one that already failed. It was called the Phantom. Though it's library was not quite as diverse as that of the current iteration of GameTap, it was a console that focused on the ability to download games and play them in an incredibly similar fashion. No one wants to pay for a new unique piece of hardware that would only serve for that purpose though. Paying the 7$ a month for some of the content you have access to I dont think is totally unreasonable, especially when several people i know pay over 15$ a month to play the same game month to month (WoW).

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> I, too, would like to know how the emulation will be handled. Will you be able to adjust resolutions and possibly correct some of the Saturn's more frightening 3D hiccups?

HJungle

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Another Easter Egg is Wing Commander for PC. Search "tiger claw". Not sure about the last one.

@johnhummel
Didn't Sega have some sort of pay to download Saturn thing on PC in Japan? I thought it had an emulator that was eventually cracked or something.

savory

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> This would explain why the Saturn and Dreamcast Emulation scene is so crappy.
Chankast hasnt been updated in years, and Saturns SSF leaves a lot to be desired. Though both are awesome.

R0YB0T

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> What I find most interesting is according to Susan at Wired, this is running via a Saturn emulator, not just already done PC ports of these games.

*That* is rather interesting to me. I can only guess that Sega turned one over to GameTap, but knowing how difficult it would be to emulate a multiple CPU system, this is an interesting pickup.

Either way, hopefully we'll see some more Saturn games.

johnhummel

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Anyone find the other two easter eggs?

DeathJester

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Guardian Heroes + Dragon Force = Worth buying the Saturn

LordNova

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Radiant Silvergun sure would be sweet, but I would also rather play it on a console.

AaronMD

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Something tells me once they crunch the numbers, Sega will probably try to put these games out on the VC or XBL too. They'll just give Gametap the 'exclusive' window for now.

Ampillion, Dayman. Fighter of the Nightman.

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Ive been looking into gametap for ages now. I know there is a ton of quality on there, but I am always busy with games now that I don't know if I would get a full use out of the service... but damn, saturn games on there just might do it. Bug is an awesome game too, I believe it was a launch or near launch saturn game (sorry, its been SO long i dont recall)

Scazza

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> It wouldn't mean no Saturn games on consoles. Sega is far from exclusive at this point. Like a dirty whore, they'll go wherever the money is.

miraimatt

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Shining Force III FTW.

...Although I don't want to get GameTap either.

BuckTwenty

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> @armyofjuan

Hahaha you beat me to the punch, the Panzer Dragoon series would get me to sign up in a heartbeat.

bloodr

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> I really hope this isn't true, as it would likely mean no Saturn games on consoles. I really, really would not want a subscription to gametap.

Fnor

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Gametap needs to be available on a console. That is all.

androvsky

]]> <![CDATA[GameTap Lands Sega Saturn License]]> Panzer Dragoon Saga and Guardian Heros!?!?!?!?

Btw, if anyone does have GameTap my handle is ArmyofJuan on there too because i'v been trying to co-op that Quest for Chemelot game or whatever it was called forever now and none of my calls have been answered.
