The SEGA Saturn, Shiro! podcast is back, and roaring to open our fifth season! Join the crew on our Season 5 Episode 1 cast for a deep dive into the horizontal shmup genre, in this follow up to our previous vertical shmup cast. We discuss a variety of shmups – a game genre the Saturn was never short on – and dissect the games for your listening pleasure. Each cast member talks about several games and what makes the special on the console. Games covered include Darius Gaiden, Cho Aniki, ThunderForce 5, Gradius Deluxe Pack, Darius 2, the shooters on the Konami Antiques MSX Collection, the shmup construction game Dezaemon 2, Sexy Parodius, In The Hunt, and Metal Black. In News, we cover the Satiator, XL2’s upcoming HellSlave, Square Enix’s (and Yuji Naka / Naoto Oshima’s) Balan Wonderworld, and the upcoming replacement Saturn shells. Can you guess the music from our intro and outtro?
Hosting the show is our fearless host Patrick, joined by fellow Shiros Peter, Dave, Ben, K, and Nick.

A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
