This brings us to December 2019, when out of the blue, Sega announced a complete ground up remake of not just the first two games but also their imminent release.

Despite re-releasing seemingly every other major Saturn game, the absence of the Panzer Dragoon series always stood out and tales of lost code and publishing rights disputes only added to the mythology of the fabled series.

Unless you actually had a hard copy with a physical Saturn, playing the definitive games like Radiant Silvergun or Nights Into Dreams was a pretty daunting task.įortunately, we live in an age where publishers obsessively remake and re-release their back catalogue, meaning eventually we were going to reach a point where even the Saturn was going to see it’s games widely available through digital distribution. The console is notoriously difficult to emulate, which means many of its games didn’t benefit from the same retro revolution that the internet brought with it in the 2000s and thus haven’t had the same staying power as their SNES or N64 rivals. It’s likely because it was released onto the fated Saturn, a console which lasted only a few years, and is one of the few games that’s actually managed to maintain a reputation from that difficult period in Sega’s history. There is something about the Panzer Dragoon series that’s always held a certain mystique within the retro gaming community.
