Still no word about Saga.

Panzer Dragoon and Sequel Coming to GameTap
Classic Saturn shooters to become a little more accessible.
By Patrick Klepek, 04/13/2007
The hardware powering the Sega Saturn is a notoriously hard nut to crack, which helps explain why we really haven't seen Sega do much with that back catalog. That's starting to change, however, as the GameTap service recently added Bug! to their downloadable catalog, and confirmed to Gamasutra that Panzer Dragoon and its sequel, Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei, will be available on GameTap in due time, too.

Take a moment to breathe and appreciate that one, kids. We are one step closer to destroying the atrociously high eBay value of Panzer Dragoon Saga.

No word on when the duo will shot up, but GameTap did confirm these are running on a bonafide Saturn emulator, and are not a dump of the Panzer Dragoon PC port that was released years ago.

I wish I could get into PC emulators. I would be all over this.

I wish they would release it for Wii virtual console. >.< It's been the only way I've been able to play old games on anything but the original systems. Don't ask me why, I don't know o__O

I'd love for Saturn games to appear on Virtual Console (or Live Arcade for that matter) although I don't have a Wii (I now have a 360 though) but I'd of thought SEGA would say something by now about the Saturn being on there.

I think its far-fetched for Saga to go on anything, I've not played it, but heard great things, but the main reason people cream over it is that its rare, the same goes for nearly all the games released near the end of the Saturns lifespan. I do think Saga may justifiy that repuatition if only I could get a chance to play it though, as Burning Rangers did!

It is very rare. I have an original copy. The game is fantastic. And it goes online for $100+

And thats the US version, which is less rare than the PAL one (we really do get screwed over lol!) which fetches £80 and upwards ($160 roughly)

Wow.
Glad I worked at a VG store when it first came out.

Snatched that sucker up quick.
