Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Sega Saturn™ with 2 dedicated Japanese soundtrack CDs

News from Play Asia [br][br] Video game fans and especially Sega lovers should still remember clearly, it's been almost 10 years ago when Sega launched their 32 bit Sega Saturn&trade™ system in Japan on November 22nd, 1994. Technically the most powerful machine at that time, the Saturn was supposed to fight Sony's upcoming PlayStation™ as well as the Nintendo64™.[br][br]Though the Saturn™ was a realtively good success in Japan, where it gained a bigger market share than ex-rivals Nintendo's N64™, it did not get enough attention in most other markets where the PlayStation™ was most dominant. The Sega Saturn™ was quickly "replaced" by Sega's latest hardware, the Dreamcast™ in 1998.[br][br]For lots of classical gaming fans, the Saturn™ is still one of the most interesting gaming platforms, especially because of their excellent 2D ports. A big variety of 2D shooting, action and fighting games were released - many of them looking much better than on any other console at that time - including titles such as Radiant Silvergun, Thunder Force V, Strikers 1945, Strikers 1945 II, DoDonPachi, Metal Slug, The King of Fighters 95 + 96, Vampire Hunter: Darkstalker's Revenge and lots of more.[br][br]Now to celebrate the Sega Saturn's 10th Anniversary, Wave Master has announced 2 soundtrack albums featuring music from the most famous Saturn™ games. Though the final tracklist has not yet been announced, soundtracks from Virtua Fighter, Daytona USA, Sega Rally, Sakura Wars and others are expected to be on the discs.[br][br]The Sega Saturn History Part.1 and Sega Saturn History Part.2 compilations will be released in Japan on October 6th, at Y3200 + tax each. Preorders are now welcome at Play-Asia.com at US$ 31.90 for each audio cd. Reserve yourself a piece of Sega Saturn™ history...
