And yes, there were several sequels to this, but SEGA never fucking bothered
to have them translated, including one that was for the Dreamcast...
goddamn Sega...no wonder they bombed and are now just a game
publisher :roll:

MM... that is a working designs game i believe or Game arts game either way that wasn't a Sega game. It had alot to do with the fact that there was no market for that game. It didn't sell too many copies the first time around so blame the dumb ass gamers that choose to ignore the saturn completely. I loved working designs games. Dragon Force2 anyone? Yeah we didn't get that game in America either (I had to get the import).. All because all these damn general playstation users wouldn't know a good game if it fucked them in the ass. So blame gamers for not buying the games not Sega. End of rant... sorry guys it just that the Saturn was a great system that was forgotton

I for one have made a goal of mine to find a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. Once I get my hands on that, then I can worry about buying a Saturn to go with it. :)

Good freaking luck...I have it(have seen it for a minimum of $170+) and was produced in such low numbers one has to wonder if the cure for everything that ails you isn't lined on the disc.

Saddest part is that the game is kickass...and most people would never had played it.

I have 2 copies of panzar dragoon Saga in my store. It is easily one of the best RPG's of all time. Only 10,000 copies made so basically no one played it.

Working Designs TRANSLATED the game, and did a decent job, even though
there were a few errors that crept in like Skywriter instead of Skyraider for
the AD-1.

Sega of Japan and SystemSoft did the original Japanese version called
Daisenryaku...they're up to Daisenryaku VII on the XBox now...still only
in Japan tho :cry:

Still, all you had to do was translate the damned game, compared to
the costs of programming it (which was paid off in Japan), you'd still
be making good money, but WD and Sega had a falling out, which meant
that Iron Storm II never made it to american shores

They would only be making good money if they would sell out or almost sell out which most Saturn games never did. If it was that easy and they were going to make so called "Good money" off of it they would of released it here in America but because the user base in America was so low they couldn't afford to take a chance. Same thing with other games such as Shining force 3.

I have a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga in mint condition along with a Saturn that I was thinking of selling. If you want to spare me the hassle of ebay, I am open to a reasonable offer.
