While the gameplay was somewhat similar to Star Fox, the next-gen graphics of the time blew away Nintendo’s early attempts at 3D, and the mechanics and setting were just different enough for it to carve out its own identity. One launch game in particular, the rail shooter Panzer Dragoon, impressed gamers and critics alike with its rich 3D graphics, epic soundtrack, and post-apocalyptic fantasy setting. Though Sega itself was very publicly imploding at the time, the Saturn still managed to build a very respectable library of titles. When the Nintendo 64 hit shelves in 1996, that was essentially the final nail in the coffin for the Saturn in the West.
The result was the Sony PlayStation immediately outselling the Saturn when it launched a few months later.
