Who has better 2D games? Saturn or PS1?

While 3D is an entirely different dinosaur, the Saturn and PS1 have many 2D games. Some exclusive, and some shared between them. But out of the two, which system do you prefer for 2D games?

But remember, quality not quantity. THe Saturn has more focus on 2D games, and has more of them. However, number aren't everything. What system do you think has the best quality 2D games in your opinion?

Well the Sega Saturn has lots of the PS1 2D games and some more (like Astal) that are awesome, so i go for Sega Saturn.

I gotta go with the Saturn on this one, the fighitng games are what decided it for me.

Saturn, for sure. Most of the 2D games on PS1 were also on Saturn, and done better on the Saturn. And then it has a lot of 2D games that exclusive to the Saturn to boot (and many of them are fantastic). Guardian Heroes and Darius Gaiden are two of the best 2D games of that generation, and exclusive to the Saturn.

yeah the saturn wasnt even released to be an essentially 3d machine. thats why it tanked. believe it or not it was twice as 3d as originally planned. sega did some emergency 3d updating when they found out about the PS.

Not that I've ever heard of. Far as I know, PS1 got G-Darius while Saturn got Darius Gaiden.

An example not as well known as some of the other pretty 2D Saturn games, an Adventure from Enix Corp.

Princess Crown, Magic Knight Rayearth, Astal, Guardian Heroes, Cotton Boomerang, Dungeons and Dragons Collection: Shadow Over Mystara, Psychic Killer Taromaru, etc.

This isn't quantity over quality, its a bunch of games that I suspect would have had their animations cut, scaling removed, sprites reduced, etc. if they had appeared on the PSX.

Also it's not just fighters like Marvel Superhoes vs. Street Fighter that had its animations cut for the PS1 version, games like Silhouette Mirage suffered a similar fate.

I'm not sure, Saturn has more quantity for 2D games but PS1 has Symphony of the Night(which I know is on the Saturn but only in japanese which doesn't work for me, okay for fighting games like X-Men vs Street Fighter, etc) and Strider 2.

Satun, since it was originally designed to be a 2-d system. It's 2-D fighting games ran much smoother and looked better than the Playstations. The Saturn had Marvel Super Heroes. Marvel vs. Street Fighter and X-Men vs. Street Fighter, which were all good. Playstation bad none of those games. Also, the Saturn had Radint Silvergun, so it wins. Playstation did have Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, though.

Doesn't really matter either way, because SOTN is on Saturn.

[QUOTE="Eikichi-Onizuka"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] strictly speaking, SOTN is not a 2D game in any way, in fact, the polygon use is not even hidden all that well. the gameplay is obviously 2D though, so it counts in that way.Emerald_Warrior

Surprise, surprise, why am I not dumbfounded at my guess you would come in and say saturn...

Are fighting games the only genre? I will admit the saturn may have it beat on that but the PS1 hate better 2D in many other genres. Saturn also might have Shoot em ups but the roll of victory stops there.

not sure if its the only genre, but given the fact fighting is one of my favourite genre, its enough to tilt this argument for me personally.

Yes but this is overall not you personally. This is the same issue you had in your arguments against the N64.Banjo_Kongfooie
