SEGA Considering Saturn Games for XBL
Fighting Vipers please.

We already know about Sega's plan to bring Dreamcast games to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network soon. But what about Sega's previous, lesser-known and less-beloved console, the Saturn? According to a recent interview, Saturn games may also be in line for digital re-release in the future.
Andriasang has the translated quotes via an interview at Impress Watch. The Japanese site talked to Sega producer Yosuke Okunari, who was quick to say, "It's not that we're ignoring Saturn," when asked about the possibility of XBLA or PSN downloadable Saturn ports.
He continued, "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... It's not that we have no intention of porting Saturn titles, so please share your requests."
Asked why they skipped from Genesis titles as downloadable right up to Dreamcast, Okunari explained, "When you look globally, 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."
Fighting Vipers please.
