Why is a Sega Saturn so expensive? (lemmy.world)

And why can't I find it anywhere? I know it wasn't very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

I'm guessing that its rarity is boosting pricing. Have you considered emulation for gaming, or is it that you wanted the physical console?

I think Saturn emulation is one of the more difficult ones to get working right. I would go emulation, but a lot of the games I want to play are multiplayer and multiplayer on a PC just isn't as fun.

That's fair. It took a good amount of work to get my emulation working well enough to play some of my old favorites.

It's been working great on the Retroid 2+ though, and imagine it's even better on the newer ones. It's become a lot easier recently
