    That video does look very nice. Better than some of the Saturn FMV I've seen. It's a shame it wasn't released in the US or Europe.

    Youtube comments are a good read sometimes. For example, the late 70s hit Disco Inferno spawned many intense arguments about religion, the crusades, and the very concepts and origin of life itself. It's just a song about some guy being "on fire" doing disco, and it's well over 30 years old, and they've used it in a million commercials.

    But if people really want to put that much time into pointless arguing that goes around in circles, why stop them? It's like demanding someone throw down an anchor on a boat that's already stuck in the doldrums.

    EDIT: And always go with Saturn! Tell all your friends that youre learning how to program, but only for SH2-based hardware. Then tell them about how PlayStation only has one processor, compared to the Saturn's 7.

    Or just show them some awesome games or a good round of Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter. Either-or. :)

    I really shouldn't let some comments get to me really. Now that I've thought it over, the person wanted to be a know-it-all.
    I just deleted all the comments as I was getting annoyed with the stupid one worded comments of personal attacks.

    It was made up, but pretty much the attitude towards 2D games and everything that wasn't filled with blood in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s.

    I know alot of under 18s that apprecate the old school especally NES stuff.

    I'll say another thing that's sure to draw Fanboy ire,

    Panzer Dragoon Zwei > Star Fox 64.

    I REALLY do not like Star Fox 64 I regret making that my first N64 game.

    Yeah, but nowadays retro gaming is a thing, in the 90s it definitely wasn't; NES games seem especially popular with the crowd that fetishizes the 80s and 90s (the people who always comment "omg i wish i had been alive back then cuz popular music sux now" on every shitty hair metal video on Youtube). What's wrong with SF64, though? I prefer the PD games too, but SF64 is one of the few N64 games I really like (could definitely do with a little less fog though).

    Each platform has its own fanboys so you are bound to get trolled no matter what you prefer or why...

    I don't prefer the Sega Saturn, but if I were to find a 32 bit era console under my christmas tree next year (hint hint!) I'd go for aSega Saturn with Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams + 3D controller over a PSX any day of the week. Mostly because I did the PSX to death back in the day and if I want to relive the memories I can emulate it easily, whereas I only ever borrowed a Sega Saturn or had a Sophia which I didn't use too much, plus emulating that system to this day still sucks.

    But yeah. Nobheads are everywhere. Trolls can be a source of frustration if you let them, but really, trolling them back can be fun too, especially when you are right :p Just don't go breaking any rules or getting out of hand if you value your membership to any given service and if you don't value your membership, at least maintain some form of self respect and have some couth where possible.

    PlayStation was easier to program than Saturn, which is a double edged sword as it meant that a lot of bad games were released. However it also lasted longer than the Saturn did & the performance analyser made it easier to figure out how to speed up your game, later games benefitted from that and the experience gained over the time.

    There are plenty of good exclusive Saturn games though, there is no reason to hide your love for it.

    For one thing the flight controls are inverted and can't be changed and it throws me way off (you have a choice in PD) and half the time I'm scrambling to grab a ring while also trying to save that jack ass Falco. By the 3rd stage I'm so befuddled and confused as to what it is I'm supposed to do I just turn the game off.

    In Panzer Dragoon everything is straight forward. Even Orta which came long after Star Fox 64 is simpler and easier to follow than Star Fox 64 is.

    lol it's Youtube so it is expected, immature fanboy rage. Don't waste your time, effort or thoughts on them, do what you love, stick with and acknowledge those that support you and the rest FUCK THEM. Seriously, normal troll rules apply, people will tell you different things (mostly the internet tough guys) ANY advice other than IGNORE THEM and don't feed the troll is WRONG I promise you. WHY? Because any other action, replying, responding, calling them out ETC, is a waste of your time, you should be above it, don't stoop to their level, they are just looking for attention and trying to accomplish getting a rise out of you so don't give them that, ignore them and they will take their ball and go play elsewhere, if anyone is extremely persistent and being an asshole to the point of threats etc, starting new channels just to troll you (been there) report them properly through you tube safety tools (it does work) do all this while continuing to ignore them, block them in extreme cases of threats or abuse but do not respond and keep ignoring them because there is NOTHING THAT PISSES THEM OFF MORE believe me.

    Don't waste your time trying to understand or negotiate, they are no life losers with nothing better to do then attack others who put themselves out there, this is why 90% of the time you will notice they either have no videos of their own or if they do it is typically stupid crap, and often comments in their channel consist of majority of people telling them to FUCK OFF, etc, proving their whole existence on youtube is to annoy and troll people. Spend time on appreciative supportive subscribers and audience and do not waste one second of effort giving trolls attention. Been on YT since July 29th 2008, have over 2870 subscribers, over 400 videos, nothing fancy and I have always done what I like (mostly Classic Gaming ans computing related with the occasional Beer tasting lol) never catered to anyone, I am just myself and yeah have had more than my experience with TROLLS in my time from hateful comments to psycho types making troll channels and even downloading and reediting my videos and I admit I was not always dealing with it the best, learned the hard way what works best and what just provokes them so I share my experience, for those that listen you are much better off, I have seen some who still don't "get it" getting angry, replying and even doing videos calling them out and linking their channel OMG really? Waste your time for those losers? Never again.

    lol they really reeditied your videos? Wow, that's just stupid. You're right though, and I'll surely take that information on board. I shouldn't of let it get to me at all, I was an idiot to do so.
    Usually many of them, like you said have no videos of their own. Even the one who said my intro was crap, yeah no shit it's meaning to be simple.

    Thanks for the good lecture though, I probably should know better but YouTube back in 2007 was a lot easier. I'll continue my research for the XBOX as it's what I love doing.

    Also I'd be happy to subscribe to you bro if I knew what your channel was :p

    Not true at all, really. Ever use SSF? it emulates many games perfectly. I have played all my original Saturn discs on my PC using SSF and the only game I had trouble with at all was Virtua Fighter Kids. It emulated everything else perfectly. I played Radiant Silvergun on the PC, then I played it on the Saturn afterwords and they both looked identical. And in some cases, the emulated PC version had less slowdown than the Saturn version. There was some slight slowdown on the character selection screen in burning rangers, but the rest of the game was perfect. And that was all on my brothers mid-range PC (from 2011 i think) I tried it on a higher end PC with a 3.4ghz processor and it was even better. absolutely no slowdown issues even in the character selection screen of BR. Additionally, there is an option in SSF to convert dithered transparencies into true transparencies. It looks great in games that use dithering heavily, such as NiGHTS.

    I still for the life of me don't get why people get in piss fits about OH my console is better than yours and your an idiot if you think otherwise. Really? The funny part is, these people are doing exactly what the companies want them to do and that's advertise their console, and not have to pay anything to these twits.

    It's the same in the PC world, oh you have a Mac, well PC is better because bla, uh ok, if I want a Windows based machine, I'll go buy a Windows based machine, build one, run it virtually, or BootCamp it. Just because your machine can play games doesn't mean your computer is better. People in the real world don't sit on their ass all day gaming with a custom $15000 PC, who's the jackass now?! Just use the damn operating system that you like and caters to you and shut the hell up about those that are different than you.

    Ask for YouTube comments, I only comment on people that I've known for years on YouTube and want to interact with or say I learned something from their video. I've made some really good friends on YouTube the seven years I've been on it and those people are always great for content that entertains me and shows me what kind of person they are.

    It's those assholes that are like "oh 240p we meet again", really, you don't have to watch EVERYTHING in HD and not EVERYTHING IS IN HD. Infact some people have limits on their internet bandwidth and have to pay a shitload more each month just because 12 year old Johnny hogs all the damn bandwidth watching Call Of Battle Field What EVER LP's on YouTube where the damn camera is just pointed at the SCREEN! UGH MORONS!
