If back in the 90s, Sony seemingly won the 3D era with the Playstation and its rich library of original titles, Nintendo coming close second with the 64 thanks to a truckload of 3D platformers... Sega seemed lost in the 2D era. And forgotten.
As much as it saddens me to say, the Saturn always seemed like the black sheep of the Sega family.
Even though it had its fair share of original titles, it never rised to the popularity of the other two...in the West!
Because back in Japan, Sega was able to develop a lil' cult phenomenon, long before internet memes and Viral Marketing.
Thanks to Segata Sanshiro.
With the rise of Japanese culture and animes/mangas later on, you can only imagine if the Saturn would have been more popular, had Sega just used the same marketing oversees...
Anyways, here is a compilation featuring ALL of Segata Sanshiro's Sega Saturn ads!
They are very random and oh, so perfect at the same time! Try to get the link between Segata's ads and the games they represent.
Enjoy:
LONG LIVE SEGATA SANSHIRO!
Not only he sacrificed himself for the Dreamcast, but he also ride off for space like no problem.
I believe he still lives up there, because space needed a SATURN too.
