Burning Rangers kinda sucks
It's jank, but it doesn't suck. I dream of a hack to fix the input handling, and overclocking on saturn emulators to fix the frame rate (altho that might be something that requires a hack too). I can accept the dropped polys, it's part of the charm, IMO.
Lots of cool games on the Saturn. Play
Bulk Slash and
Asuka Limit Over. Great mid 90s otakucore. Add
Cotton 2 for similar vibes, native to the Saturn's arcade sister hardware the ST-V.
If you like mecha, in addition to Virtual On, there are the first two
Gungriffon games (there's a
free spiritual sequel for PC which recreates (parts of) the Saturn games' engine) and also the third Assault Suit game --
Assault Suit Leynos 2.
All the above mentioned games are from traditionally (J)PC focused devs, as is the already mentioned
Hyper Duel (Saturn mode has remastered graphics and a button to lock shooting direction). Though an arcade port, it's from legendary dev Tecnosoft, moreover, it can be seen as an alternative take on Herzog (Zwei)'s transforming mechanic.
Lots of great arcade ports too. I like the extras included ports of
Vampire Savior and
Zero 3 (CPS2), and
Twinkle Star Sprites (NeoGeo).
Elevator Action Returns and
Rayforce (Taito F3) are more no frills but also very good. Speaking of shmups, there's
Battle Garegga (great practice options) and
Batsugun (CD BGM).
