Sega has been mining their extensive back catalog to provide digital downloads on Virtual Console, Xbox Live Arcade, and PlayStation Network. Players can replay classic Master System, Genesis, and Dreamcast titles across many platforms. Unfortunately Sega’s ugly duckling, the Sega Saturn, has been absent in this recent digital push. In an interview with Impress WatchYosuke Okunari, producer of the Dreamcast remakes, says that there’s still hope for Saturn remakes.

“When you look globally,” Okunari replied, “the Genesis and Dreamcast are well known, but Saturn is unknown. During that period, PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were a success overseas, but to be honest Saturn was not a success. Because of this, we decided on Dreamcast.”

“It’s not that we’re ignoring Saturn I think you can see this, considering that we ported Nights Into Dreams and other titles,” he said, referring to the 2008 PlayStation 2 version of Nights Into Dreams.

Okunari points out that Saturn remakes would stand as a separate project from the Dreamcast titles like Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi. “What we announced this time is a project where we will have consecutive releases of titles that were debuted on Dreamcast. Separate from this, we’re of course thinking about ports of Saturn games,” he said. “It’s the same as how Sega Ages and Virtual Console were separate existences. It’s not that we have no intention of porting Saturn titles, so please share your requests.”
