Chances are you'll spend a lot trying to get those. I would also recomend Sonic Jam, Nights, Daytona Usa, and if you're a fan of the series Virtua Fighter 2

VulkanNinja is right, you will need a lot for those, especially PD Saga. NiGHTS, now THAT is one f*cking amazing game. Very very underrated too. I highly recommend NiGHTS, its one of the best Saturn titles ever and if you get it, be sure to buy it with the 3D controller - the only true way to play the wonderful NiGHTS.

VF2 is a good solid port. The best home version of Metal Slug X is on the Saturn, quite a few of the KoF titles are on it too. Also consider the astounding Radiant Silvergun(lol) if you're loaded. If you're not, then Sega Rally, The House of the Dead and Virtua Cop 2 are also good Saturn titles, but you'll find better versions/sequels of those on Dc and current gen systems. Now that they're so old, they're probably not worth getting a Staurn for. :?

Daytona USA is brilliant but the Saturn conversion is a poor one. The graphics, framerate and just about everything else are way below arcade standards. I recommend the Dc version, which is superior to Daytona arcade in every way. Only get Daytona on Saturn if you're a fan wanting all the games, but then you will need to get the dreaded Championship Edition too. Don't even get me started on that game... ;)

I would also reccomend Shining Force 3. Check Sonic 3dblast if you have a chance as well. It's much better on the Saturn then the Genesis version which sucks. For some odd reason sonic 3d blast on the Saturn at least has one of the best game soundtracks ever. I never saw that one coming...

I've decided to get Nights but no Sonic games. I am getting Mega Collection which will take care of those.

Thats fine, but completionest's would get soinc Jam as well. It has some lost movies and features that feature sonic that you can't find anywhere else I know of in the world. Unpublished CGI, music and info. Plus I think it controls better then using the analong stick of the gamecube. You will get sonic 3d blast in mega collection but it's the weak Genesis version.

There are two titles that stick out in my head, even though I've never owned a Saturn:

Radiant Silvergun (arcade shooter)
Street Fighter Zero 3 (2d fighting game)

I'd type some more for you, but if you do a search for them on Google, you'll find more than enough information.

Definitley pick up Street Fighter Zero 3 that is a great game. Im not very good wise on Sega Saturn games, but you could find lists of them at GameFaqs.com and reviews to most likley.

It might not be highly rated, but athlete kings, looks great, excellent fun...

Fighters Megamix, may be about novelty, but an excellent game, shame it didnt run at hi-res like VF2...

Sega Rally, ah the hours i spent trying to beat lap times in time attack...

many of the great games have already been covered... and there are dozens more out there...
