Since it’s the 30th anniversary of the Sega Saturn this week, I was looking up articles from back in the day.

First up this feature from Sega Pro 30 - April 1994 (UK)

    @OutofPrintArchive Reading about how the memory expansion cartridges didn’t work outside of Japan without an additional regional bypass sounds pretty standard for Sega’s international missteps to me. “Plug in this thing, but you’ll need two other things to do so.”

      That’s just basic region locking though.
      The Capcom cart was planned for international release at a time, but due to dwindling sales, those plans were shelved.
      Barely any games that even supported it released outside of Japan anyway.

      And hm the biggest fans had a 4-in-1 import cart anyway.
