I got my Saturn back on Veteran's Day weekend in 2012 after wanting one since 2004. So, I've had it for about 15 months. Here's what I have so far. I like collecting Japan releases because I hate the longboxes, they're usually cheap, and the artwork is usually better.

Good call with getting JP Saturn games, I do the same thing for games that have really no language barrier, saves a lot of money (Panzer Dragoon JP is like $20 USD, US copy is $40 USD)

Also how is the Konami Antiques MSX Ultra Pack? I've been entertaining the idea of picking up a copy but I'm not sure how good the emulation would be.

I don't think the games are emulated. I doubt Konami wrote an emulator for the Saturn. They're likely ported. I haven't tried all 30 games, but the ones I have tried do play/sound good. Then again, I have no experience playing MSX games so take my opinion for what it's worth. They're fun, though. I recommend it. I mainly bought it for the 3 Gradius games, Salamander, and Parodius. The other games I've tried so far, like King's Valley, Magical Tree, Tennis, Hyper Rally, and Time Pilot are all top class.

Cool thanks for letting me know, I'll be picking that one up for sure now.

I would, but I'm living at school right now and I keep all the cases at home. I just bring all the discs in a binder.

cool to hear about Konami Antiques being spot-on...and agreed on JP cases/art typically being better but how do you get by with text-heavy stuff like SF III sc 1, Shining Wisdom etc? lotta moonspeak there if you're not playing with a guide!

I just have a script translation with me whenever I play Shining Wisdom. The gameplay itself doesn't really require you to read anything. I'm almost done with it and I've had no trouble getting through it. I haven't actually tried SFIII yet, but I do have a translation ready. It's definitely more daunting, especially since I've never played a strategy RPG before. If I have problems getting through it, I'll just remind myself I only paid $10 for it.
