Argh. All these great turn-based RPGs I have never played!
Curse my lack of Japanese fluency!

Wow, that EPIC!
Unfortunately, most of those never made it though North America.

Sega: Bringing you great characters, great games, great gaming hardware, great marketing, and some of the industry's most mind-numbingly inane business decisions (apart from Atari) since 1989.
If the ads make you want to get a Sega Saturn, resist the urge and pick up a Sega Dreamcast instead. Sure, you won't be able to play Radiant Silvergun (widely regarded as the greatest shmup in the history of the genre), but you can snag Ikaruga instead.
When Ikaruga shreds the remnants of your confidence in your eye-hand skill coordination, you can fire up Crazy Taxi, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Super Puzzle Fighter II X For Matching Service (import), Puyo Puyo Fever, Skies of Arcadia, Jet Grind Radio, REZ, Space Channel 5, Power Stone, Samba de Amigo, Tennis 2K2, Seaman, Bangai-O, Soul Calibur, Grandia 2, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, Shenmue, Typing of the Dead, Sonic Adventure--well, you get the idea.
I don't own a Sega Saturn, but only because I already own five consoles (Dreamcast, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, and Wii) and two handhelds (Gameboy Advance SP and Nintendo DS Lite) AND because I don't want to spend absurd amounts of money on legitimate copies of Saturn games on online auction sites. But I still can't shake being a Sega fanboy.
EDIT: Those ads are simply amazing.

The ads don't actually make me want a Sega Saturn but they do make me long for the days when ads were cooler and games were less vulgar. Sega and Nintendo had succeeded in dividing the world's children into two groups, like politics except actually interesting. Although I was a Nintendite I was saddened when Sega stopped making consoles. It was like two rival samurai who had fought each other for years and one got crippled T_T (like the Segata ad where he was crying I can see the Nintendo samurai shedding a tear for Sega ).
. Thankfully I don't like or play shmups so I am immune to trying 
.
I do wonder if they will put Phantasy Star up on Steam with Sega adding old titles. As a Nintendite I was always looking over the pond at that game and it's something I'd try.
Random thought: I was never interested in Sonic the Hedgehog games. I wonder if Gerbils and Hedgehogs can be kept in the same cage IRL, Googles... answers seem to say no you can't. No wonder I never liked the game.
