Pete, I just want to say that I have been watching your videos for years. You have been the most influential youtuber in my life because you got me into collecting. I never lost faith or unsubscribed during your hiatuses because the content you gave us was great. I just want to say thank you for inspiring me to collect. I was always striving to get a collection like yours (still am to this day). So, thanks again for being so awesome.

I love the Sega Saturn :D Its the most underrated system of all time :D My favorites are Symphony of the Night, Resident Evil 1, Deep Fear, Burning Rangers, Mega Man X 4 and of course Panzer Dragoon Saga.

The timing of this video is beyond perfect for me haha I just bought the Action Replay cart and I started doing a lot of research on whether I should jump into the Japanese Saturn collecting scene. Thanks a lot for a video that has put me over the edge to try it out!

Another great video! I don't plan to collect for the Saturn but its always cool to watch your videos and learn more about consoles and series

Holy shit, Pete is being active :O Love your vids mate!

So happy to see you posting more videos. Keep em comin Pete!

Petes videos have been really well made and informative lately! Keep up the good work Pete! :D

Hey Pete, I got introduced to Hyper Duel by this video and wow what a game. It has very quickly became my fav shooter of all time and yes I did pay the asking because its that good :) . Thanks again !!!

Thanks for making this video, I recently got a Saturn and wanted to start getting into imports. Subbed.

I found this video very interesting and I picked a bunch of titles for my list. Thank you.

Great video! You keep improving your channel in different ways. I'm glad you're still on youtube :)

Really awesome video, Pete. I love the Sega Saturn. I've got quite a few import titles, too -- nothing super rare like your collection though. The Saturn has some of the best import games for any retro console. I need to make another Saturn import video.

Shows Steam Hearts "I pick this up for the gameplay..." RRRRRiiight that is what they all say Pete lol

Great video! Good to know that even 5 years ago prices were already outrageous XD Glad I'm finally just now starting to collect Sega Saturn games :-(

Really enjoyed this. I started collecting Japanese Sega Saturn games about 15 years ago as near where I worked there was an independent game store and I was spending loads of my cash in there. I had a UK version in the 90's but once I had my own cash flow I delved into the realm of Japanese stuff. I have also been learning Japanese since I was a teenager partly due to import games! It has been one of the best hobbies ever. I am also a NEO GEO CD fanatic because I like the underdog stuff :D

Great to see the frequent uploads! :D

Awesome Video. Thanks from Germany. I like the saturn and I own about 20 Japanese titles. The only one I have that show you is necronomicon. I'm very interested in knowing more to import collecting from other systems. I think dreamcast is very interesting. ;)

I imported quite a bit a year or two ago, great system with some great reasonable Japanese titles. =) Great video Pete!

Yes Pete! I'd love to see a video done in this style for Super Famicom or any other system be it PSX or N64 etc. Great video!

Man there were so many games left on your pile, are you going to cover others later?. I'd love to hear about more platformers and action games if there are any left. Great Video like always.

I recently pulled the trigger on ebay for a nice import saturn + games (vf, fighting vipers, fighter's megamix, daytona and one of the super robot wars games) so I'm already hunting for my next game! this video has definitely been a huge help although I can't imagine what some of those are going for now!

this channel is gold, awesome stuff. This stuff has gone so much more expensive now

I had a Saturn in the 90's, so it would be awesome to get another one and play some import games! It would be great for you to do some more import videos.

Thank you for making this video. I am just starting my Japanese satrun collection.

great video would love one like this for famicom always wanted to get into collecting for that system :)

Thanks for the video Pete. Would you be able to do a video discussing the Dreamcast and its import games?

Extremely interesting vid. Learned about a whole new world unique games.

Would be nice to see some gameplay as you speak about certain games.

Congrats on 100000 Pete!

Would love to see more of these videos on importing

FANTASTIC. VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT!

this is extremely helpful please do a follow up i had no idea some of those had english in them and i always skip over most rpgs. i love wizardry too!

Hey Pete I'm liking the video and now I'm interested to see if you're ever gonna cover other systems like import gaming for the DS, PSP, Gameboy, PS3 and so on. The only imports in terms of gaming I own are the Hatsune Miku Project Diva games on PSP, since we never got those in English as America got the PS3 titles and soon one of the 3DS titles, and I also have imported amiibos but we know how bad the amiibo collecting scene is lol. I figured some systems are region free so it would be neat to see what else you can find out there without having to spend extra on buying an imported system, do any sort of modding or relying on some import gaming software or hardware (unless you really have to depending specifically on the console in question).

From 14:57 to 15:04 is pure comedy gold. Thank you Pete, you just made my day haha

Very helpful, Pete! I didn't know about the Wizardry games on the Saturn so I just bought them! Also id recommended getting Deep Fear, I git it for £8 and the Japanese version is totally playable.

Keep up the great work Pete.

You ought to do another one of these videos, but for the Pc-Engine Turbo Duo. I recently started collecting for that system and would like to hear you take on things.

I feel like this was fate that you put this up. I picked up the saturn action replay at Too Many Games two weeks ago with the complete intention of importing some games. Great vid Pete!

Great video man, not sure how I missed this one. One other shooter which isn't very expensive for the Japanese Saturn is Sonic Wings AKA Aerofighters on SNES. its $25-40 on the Saturn vs. $500 plus on the SNES.

Great video Pete! Do you know maybe if Myst has the same voice over and text on the japanese version as in USA?

I wish so strongly that you would do a top ten shoot em ups of all time covering all systems. You are uniquely qualified to act as an expert for these games. Please

Great video. I just got All Japan Pro Wrestling featuring Virtua.

I bought a Japanese saturn to hang out with my American one.. not that I have a problem with memory carts. just enjoy the collecting aspect of game consoles..

Nice Saturn Collection :-) Btw do you like the SEGA AGES releases on Saturn - ie. coin op conversions of Power Drift, After Burner II and Powerdrift?

04:18 I've literally just paid £20 for a demo of the first disc of Panzer Dragoon Saga, if I saw the full game for equivalent of $50 I'd presume there'd been a typo! lol how times change.. :) Awesome video thanks mate! really helped me with my fledgling Saturn collecting career :D

It’s so hard now watching you recommend games that at the time were $10 that now go for at least $40. I wish I had been more into the Saturn when this released.

nice Pete I got most of these games I lack hyper duel and psychic killer but I have other expensive ones not listed like final fight revenge xmultiply image fight mizubaku adventure oh just to let you know ninpen manmaru is 40$ on one website people on eBay are now getting between 80-200$ which is insane for that one great collection I admire your tempo as well.

Been collecting Saturn games for a year now, my latest pick up was Street Fighter Zero 3, sadly it took out my saturn after one run.

Awesome video... I haven't gotten to collecting Sega games yet... but maybe some point into the future ^^ PS: Thank you for watching my video as well. :3

Holy hell Pete, I'm finna watch this whole damn video!

PeteDorr I've recently got into playing burned games on the ps2/ps1/dreamcast, think you could go a video on imports for these consoles? If you can' or if you're into imports on any of those consoles. Also, how is your japanese? Are you able to understand enough to play some of the more story games? What are you using?

I'm really into going for a complete Dreamcast NA collection. However, I do want to do a lot of importing, since sadly we missed out on a lot really great gems on the system. Maybe a video on that?

Cool video bro......Yooooooo nice collection

your Super Tempo doesnt seem factory sealed...or do you have plastic cover over the original plastic seal?

In all honesty Pete I think its a great series because with the price of the north American getting more and more ridiculous with each passing year, people are generally looking for other alternatives and I can see you doing this series with a variety of other systems. If you can do it for more systems, I say all the power to you. I'm not an import collector myself so there is really nothing in this video I would personally find useful since I don't collect imports but a lot of people can get a lot of use out of this video. With my Sega Saturn collecting days finished, I'm perfectly fine with what I own for my north American Saturn collection. I already have my set collection rules and with the little space I do have I need to respect the space for other things that I want and its for that reason why I don't collect imports, but if imports give other gamers the chance to play the games they've always wanted to play for a cheaper price; all the power to them.

Hey Pete. I'd love to see another Ebay Hunting video if you're ever up to it. Those are the best!

good review. game play footage would be nice

Hey, I found a Japanese Sega Saturn game with a silver logo strip, insted of the more usual bronze. Any idea why it different? Thanks

I keep hoping we'll see a Sega Saturn compilation, similar to what they did for the Genesis, and even a few Dreamcast games. Or Saturn games on Steam. Is there some technical reason that hasn't already happened?

work it also the opposite way, if i put an action replay card in a pal saturn, that i can play japanese games?

Thanks, man! This helped a lot

I've found some good deals on ebay from some of the big Japanese game sellers. Even shipping is pretty reasonable as long as you buy several items. I also found some great deals on Saturn games in Tokyo last year. Akihabara is of course packed but check out the Book Offs for better prices. I picked up a ton of stuff for 50-90% off of the equivalent US game prices, not to mention the Japanese exclusive which are numerous. Also, used Japanese games are almost always in perfect condition.

Which King Of Fighters / SNK games work with the Action Replay Plus 4M on a US Saturn ? ( or do you need a special ram cart to play those ? ) thanks

very helpful video. thank you.

15:00. Lmao that was actually really funny Pete

What version of Hyper Duel is better Arcade or Saturn? Thinking about pulling the trigger on the Saturn version for around 400 usd.. but if the arcade version is better I might just play it on a PC/Mame. I however don't have a PC ATM so I'd have to buy one lol, but I need a PC anyways. Hmm any thoughts?

Pete do you have your games insured? I would be terrified to own that many games worth that much.

I love collecting for the Saturn. I'm pretty strict about getting US games though. The only times I get import games for it is if a US version doesn't exist. It's more expensive than importing for sure, but it isn't too crazy if you watch prices close enough that you know what a game typically goes for and can recognize a good deal. For instance when I bought Shining Force III (complete) I got it for $100 vs the $150+ it usually goes for. While the same game you can get a Japanese copy for $30, I like having the US versions more.

What game is on the disk closest to the narrator (rainbow fill on the side of the box)?

Hey do you know of any great Sega Mega drive or Saturn imports jrpgs that are translated that i should look out for.

Could you please do a small square and show gameplay of the games you are talking about? Im in a phone and its hard as hell to go look at gameplay or screenshots. And then come back to the video and watched from where i was at. Even screenshoots only few maybe 5 in a slow transition to not make the editing to harsh on you.

I need Hyperduel in my life - like now - one of the last Saturn shooters I need along with Blast Wind but as you said given the price I'm not so sure...wish I had picked it up years ago when I saw it for like £40 quid in a retro store in London. Missed a trick there.

I would love to see your ps3 import recommendations..before they get too unaffordable..great video

Have you ever seen a copy of the Rockman X4 Limited Edition Pack out in the wild? I'd love to own it, but it's $400 bucks on Ebay.

Sir, what about Japanese consoles? Can they be unlocked and used here in the U.S.? Most all of the nicer consoles for sale on the internet are from Japan. Also, are you familiar as to how much that we will have to pay additional for customs and such if we order a system from Japan?

Jesus, you own Hyper Duel...? That's one of my favorite Saturn games and I know I'm not acquiring a copy of that shit anytime soon. lol

Thanks for pointing out that eBay lot with the flashy titles on top lol. I almost did but I debated it and now I won't thanks pete!

good video! Greetings from Japan

Finaly a classic PeteDorr video xD

This is the 1st time I have ever seen the American Sega Saturn games, they are huge, double the box size of the Uk ones!

I own a few japanese games for the gameboy but anyways nice channel!

Hey Pete where would you categorize the import version of Radiant Silvergun? I am keeping an out for the game but at the same time I have a budget to maintain.

I am interested in buying import Saturn games. I do have the Action replay plus. All I need are games. I'm looking at shooters and some fighting games mostly.

a video on wonderswan would be cool

You should go to Japan. Used game stores are so saturated with Saturn that no one wants and you can get then for a buck or 2....100 to 300 yen. Had a friend go to Super Potatoe in Japan, brought back a suitcase full of games, at least 60, for 135 bucks.

Pete - What did you play Shienryu / Gekioh PS1 on? An emulator? The music doesn't work on the PS3 according to some sources. It does have music so you possibly didn't play it on real PS1 / PS2 hardware. The PS1 version is actually a pretty good conversion, but I have read that it's missing some sort of transparency effect that is present in the Saturn release. It's really cheap on PS1 too. The audio differences are debatable. I kinda prefer the PS1 version to the Saturn due to the enhanced music and extra features.

I just bought my first Sega Saturn (The Japanese olive/gray version) and was wondering if all action replay cartridges are universal. I got the Japanese version because of its immense game library, but I would also like to play Engish/American games.

ahhhhh, Japanese Astal has gone up to anywhere from 60 to 150, it sucks to see the game skyrocket after I had set my sights on it when it was much cheaper before I could get a system.

when i had a saturn i had more imports than i have ever owned on another console and it was still just a handful of whats available. i need to learn japanese badly. importing was pretty easy imo

Man I would have loved to be a guest in this because I am a die hard import sega saturn collector. I am literally only missing one game in my personal collection, but I would have done some things a little differently. I would have done something for each genre. For example, for people who are fans of shooters and want to try it out first before really going for the big buck ones I would recommend gunbird(has yoko/tate mode) detana twinbee, and standard shooter that is still easily attainable, and will help introduce you to fighters. For the fighting game fans I would recommend vampire saviour(darkstalkers 3), xmen vs street fighter, for VS 15-25 dollar range(except xmen vs street fighter which is about 35-50 big box w/ ram cart). I think xmen is a good way to start because that way you have a game and a 4mb ram cart as well, so its definitely worth it because finding the game by itself is actually much harder, and actually rarer than the big box. Platformers I believe you really nailed on your video. I also would have talked about a different subject which some people it is either for you or not and that is spine card collecting for imports. All in all, definitely a nice introduction video about import saturn collecting, and I highly recommend it to people. While it is quite niche, but if you guys really want some of that arcade experience at home definitely go with the import saturn.

I'd definitely like to see this kind of video for Super Famico and PS1. Btw could you (or anyone) tell me again the names for the SRPG's you mentioned? i'm a big fan of the genre and i'd like to play them one day.

After modding my US Saturn model 1, I've been collecting a few, butalsoburningthem. JAP games are great when you wanna actually own something like Burning Rangers, which is, like, triple the price in its US release. Super Tempo and Linkle Liver Story are cool. I'd wanna play the Slayers RPG, but I actually have to learn moonman to enjoy it.

The action replay has the 4meg expansion ram and backup memory built in so the whole Saturn Library should work without issue

No radient silver gun????

i just got a japanese ps2, id like to see a vid on japanese ps1 and ps2 games

Saturn is my favor console of all time (& its controller) and it always will! =)

I know the cart also has Ram in it for those titles that need 1mb/4mb. Some still don't work even with that?

Gameshark can help u play imports too on the saturn.

What do you think of Deep Fear ?

Wow, that is a pretty impressive Japanese Saturn collection :)
