Those hoping that the PS2 port of the Sega Saturn classic NiGHTS would be released outside of Japan may be out of luck.

Today's buzz-worthy video: Bug Too! pitch
Ever wonder how a game gets greenlighted? (Green-lit?) Stare into the black hole of this Bug Too! pitch video. GameVideos says it was thrown together in a hurry to try to sell Sega on a follow-up to the Saturn game we can't quite remember. We're not sure if this video was ever shown, given that Bug ...
Virtually Overlooked Week: Eric's picks
Virtually Overlooked has taken over Wii Fanboy! All this week, members of the staff will be outlining their personal picks for future Virtual Console releases.

GameTap reveals Sega Saturn plans with Bug!
Currently hidden amongst over 800 games residing on GameTap is a relic of the Sega Saturn's past. One of the early 3-D platformers of the day, Bug! has managed to weasel its way onto the service under the guise of "Insect?" as a search term.

Wii Warm Up: Sega Saturn, shiro!
"Sega Saturn, shiro!" means "Play Sega Saturn!" and is the catchphrase of the Saturn's Japanese mascot, the very burly and heroic Segata Sanshiro.

Rumor: Saturn games coming to the VC?
And really, why wouldn't it be able to happen? Nintendo doesn't have a size limit on their downloads like their competitors, so this latest rumor, which comes from an employee at DigiPen, isn't an entire impossibility. Also, considering Sega's support of the Wii, whether it be on the Virtual Consol...
Remembering Segata Sanshiro, Sega Saturn's dutiful mascot
SEGAForce.net remembers Segata Sanshiro, the outspoken hermit who trained with a giant Sega Saturn on his back. "Sega Saturn shiro!" he would shout, exploding grown men with a single toss; mercilessly beating club goers; and strangling little leaguers. But Sanshiro's violence was bound to honor (see...
360 D-pad sucking? Use a Saturn gamepad
The honeymoon's over. We were in love. Our shotgun wedding with the Xbox 360 gamepad and subsequent months of marital bliss have come crashing down. We've had our first fight ... err, 2D fighting game that is. Anyone who's been playing the recently released Street Fighter II on XBLA has undoubtedl...
