Once you have that, you pop it into the cartridge slot and you're free to play Japanese games! And there are many great Japanese games for Saturn (especially shoot-em-ups), so the cart is totally worth getting.
Here's an article about some of the best affordable Saturn games.
The only problem with the Saturn is that it's been gaining popularity in the past couple years and even non-rare games have become pretty expensive. Racketboy has some other articles listing quality games for the system, so I'd recommend browsing the site if you're willing to spend more money than the titles in that article!

I would only be willing to buy that cartridge if I had more than one non-EU game, would it work if I downloaded an ISO and burned it to a disk and used that?
Luckily my local shop sells saturn games but a I doubt he has NiGHTS

If you're reluctant to do either of those things, your best option would be to talk to the people at that shop and ask them about how regularly copies of NiGHTS come in and if they could put the next one they get on hold for you. That or ebay.
Hopefully you'll be flying in Nightopia before long!

What genre of games do you like? That makes giving recommendations a lot easier.

I'm not fussy when it comes to gaming, but my preferences are ether FPSs, Beat 'em ups or PlatformingThere are PLENTY of Saturn games that aren't going to get ported. Since Sega's in a bad financial place, I'd be surprised if games like Burning Rangers or Panzer Dragoon Saga ever get a port (both are really expensive games, unfortunately). Some easy Saturn-exclusive recommendations with European releases from me would be Lunacy/Torico (which I admit to having not played but it looks really cool), Panzer Dragoon, or Parodius.

Beat-em-ups - Three Dirty Dwarves, Die Hard Arcade
Platformers - Astal, Clockwork Knight, Clockwork Knight 2, Rayman, Pandamonium, Mega Man 8, Earthworm Jim 2, Croc, Mr. Bones
I'm not sure if all of those have had European releases but I've at least heard good things about all of them. They're not all exclusives, but they should give you something to keep an eye out for. (I've only played Astal, Clockwork Knight 1, and Earthworm Jim 2.)
There are also some AWESOME fighting games for Saturn - Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Virtua Fighter 2, and others.
Good luck finding things you like! Hopefully some other Saturn fan will post in this thread at some point and add to my suggestions...

The local shop said they might be getting some more games in (they only have sports ones at the moment)

Last night I ordered a copy of Nights, but realising SEGA has taken a bit of an interest into prting Saturn games I'm worrying whether it was a mistake to get a Saturn. The saturn cost £35 and Nights cost £17. Was the Saturn worth it? Are there any Saturn titles I should look out for that are probably not going to be ported?
If you like Bomberman, get Saturn Bomberman. Imo it's the ultimate, definitive version of Bomberman.
