It sucked, everybody knew it did when it was released. I like how the overall opinion of the system changes once it goes out of production.

the sega saturn had better import games than american games, and that's where the gameshark comes in

Even tho it did suck ass.
I still like it...

I agree, the Sega Saturn was not one of the best game systems I ever owned but I still kind of liked it. I used to have a Sega Saturn but I no longer have it because it died on me years ago.

i remember sega saturn

i liked virtua cop... but the playstation was way better I have no regrets about choosing a PS1 over a saturn

The Saturn was a success in Japan. The reason why the Saturn failed in North America was because of the policy of several Sega executives, notably Bernie Stolar. He had his "five-star policy" stating that only games with good graphics (i.e. 3D) were allowed into America. Though it may not have been Stolar's fault entirely, many excellent games, notably RPGs, were blocked from coming in from Japan.

It's actually the only console I have hooked up at the moment

I love every Sega system other than the absolute crap like the Pico or the Sg-100 which wasn't really a great effort. Haters should try some Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Dragon Force or import 2-D fighters and then talk.
