Sega Saturn heading for Virtual Console?

An employee of Digipen, which shares it’s building with Ninendo Of America has told the site Rumor Reporter that he overhead an employee of Nintendo stating the Sega Saturn would be coming to the Wii’s Virtual Console.

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it seems very plausible with Sega already having the Genesis on VC.

Virtua Fighter, anyone?

    How about some Panzer Dragoon, oh man those games rocked. I still remember how sweet I thought the saturn was when it came out. Who here remembers the cd player interface with the space ship? That sure was sweet.

    Sounds too good to be true. Seems like those games are huge, try and download a 64 game and imagine it times 10. I already have concerns about the space I have with NES games. Why don’t we wait until we get some official news instead of posting all these rumors, non of which have been confirmed.

    the guardian heroes ISO file is 80 megs. I don’t think the games are that big.

    WOW~! If Sega Saturn arrives to the VC, then that only means.. VIRTUA FIGHTER KIDS~!
    Yippy, I can’t wait to relive those days I once lived.

    @shano, yeah I remember that spaceship one, though that’s when I also started buying music CDs cause the Saturn was my only CD player in the house then, even though I only borrowed it and a few games with it from a friend.

    Also, there’s another game I enjoyed on Saturn called Dark Legends or something like that. It took me a while to figure out the game title since it was so long ago, I had to search up the wiki. Loved the music in it. NiGHTS would be a great VC release also. I’ve never played the original but I’d sure like to now that it’s arriving to the Wii.

    I would have to say that 80meg files for the Wii’s limited storage is pretty significant. Basically the system could only support maybe 6 games at that size (that’s assuming that you have no channels, saved files, or other games already stored on the system).

    It seems ironic, given my initial muted reaction to the Sega Saturn at launch, that I’m excited about the ‘possibility’ of revisiting genuine gaming classics via VC! Bring on NiGHTS and Panzer Dragoon Zwei!

    It would be a welcome edition with the quality of games on the system but more importantly the scarcity of them. My favorite were the 2d fighters, Saturn had the best.

    I personally have hoped for the Master System games to become available for download…

    Suppose Nintendo worked its way up to Dreamcast… complete with online games…?
