The saturn was a master of 2d games though. Try any of the import
versions of Capcom's "Vs." series (Marvel v. Street Fighter, et alia)
and compare them to their playstation counterparts - the saturn wins
hands down.

But like the Atari Jaguar, it was damn hard to program for, and
subsquently died. At least Sega took note of this and got their shit
together for the Dreamcast.
