Any Saturn fans feel it's the most underrated system ever?

^^^ No, a dead battery just means you can't save. The PAR should still function.

This. I've never had a JP or EU region game not work after patching the region and the Saturn's region patcher is very user friendly.

IKR?! Like the easiest patcher I've ever, EVER seen :D

I don't know if it's been said, but an Interact Memory Card Plus RAM Cart will work also to play imports.

I'm a massive Saturn fan now...but back when it came out I remember being very underwhelmed with the system compared to the PS1. Everything was about 3d graphics and cool cg cut scenes in my eyes. The Saturn really didn't have much of this. Not to mention the price tag.
Having re-discovered the system about 7 years ago I find that it has some killer pickup and play experiences. Also a lot of great unique exclusives. But back when it came out it really was at a distant 3rd place.
I also only knew like one kid that had it and kinda felt bad that he made the choice to go with the Saturn.

Too bad the same cant be said about the Sega CD patcher. That thing is a pain in the ass if your windows is x64 >:( . Luckily I only needed to do it twice.

Bingo. It came out in a time when 3d was picking up. But now the 3d has aged and the 2d is what has aged better. Just got Parodius Deluxe, a Saturn import. Very nice shmup game.
