CConsole Shock Podcast 127: Saving Saturn Console Shock, Retro and Modern Gaming Chat.

Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! This week, Trev and Stu try to leap (in a quantum way) into the minds of Sega's decision-makers during the Saturn era.



We try to work out what we could have done differently to change the fate of the 32-bit machine, and give it a fighting chance against the mighty PlayStation!



Could we create a timeline where the Saturn was actually a worldwide success? Listen on to find out....



- Can you complete Starfield (AKA "Spacerim") without building anything?



- Were Nintendo justified shutting down the Yuzu Switch emulator?



- The Saturns high launch price instantly putting Saturn on the back foot.



- Abstract marketing and adverts failing to showcase the system.



- Improving the Saturns launch game lineup. - Did the lack of Sonic on the Saturn really harm its potential?



- The legendary programming difficulty of the Saturn.



- The failure of the Mega CD and 32X systems killing consumer confidence in Sega hardware.
