So I was thinking of getting a Saturn.

Right now, I'm thinking off getting X-men vs. Street Fighter, and X-Men: Children of the Atom.
But after that I don't know of any other games to get.
Suggestions please?

-Panzer Dragoon Series (I, Zwei, Saga)
-Dragonforce
-Astal
-Virtua Fighter 1 & 2
-Virtual On (even better if you can get the twin stick peripheral)
-Shining Force 3
-Guardian Heroes
-Sonic Jam (best Sonic compilation...period)
-Burning Rangers
-Any Number of 2D fighters. In addition to the great X-Men fighters you mentioned, the Saturn also has the Street Fighter Alpha and Darkstalkers franchises in their entirety. There was also great support from SNK. The Saturn houses installments from Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, and Samurai Showdown. Best of all, all these games are arcade perfect and the D-pad on the Saturn controller is the only one I've ever experienced that feels almost as viable as a joystick.
Be aware of what your getting yourself into though. Frankly, the Saturn's library is crap on the whole since it didn't last very long, so many of the quality titles you're likely to hear about have become collector items of sorts. The really high profile ones like NiGHTS and Guardian Heroes are likely to cost you about 50 dollars and others like the infamous Panzer Dragoon Saga consistently go for over 100 dollars on auction sites. A Saturn is, oddly enough, a big investment.

A few games from the top of my head that i owned and enjoyed -
Die Hard Arcade - (kinda like Street of Rage only heavily influenced by the Die Hard film)
Fighting Vipers
Fighters Megamix - (Fighting Vipers vs Virtua Fighter. PLUS- added secret nostalgic stuff for good measure. This is one awesome game to own).
Daytona USA - (even though it's only ever 1-player but it still has it's fun side to it)

I'm going to try to lay off the 2-D fighters a little bit, since I play a lot of these games online.
I love SHMUPS, too much fun.
Maybe this list can convince my dad to let me buy a Saturn. =)

There are also some great games that are less expensive though, like Astal!
If you like shumps though, Radiant Silvergun could be VERY worth getting despite it being expensive. I think it sells for around $150 and requires something to allow you to play import games but it is fantastic. It is pretty much the most intense game I can think of, hundreds of things on the screen at once, an epic scale to everything mixing 2D and 3D graphics. The last boss is literally God (I am not joking) and he is quite difficult.
I think I spent a month's of pay from my crappy part-time high school job to buy it and I have little regret.
I'll also say that the Panzer Dragoon trilogy is probably the biggest highlight of the system (along with NiGHTS).
Anyway I feel like I am kind of rambling but Zero-Shift's post is right on about the best games generally being the most expensive and a lot of games being crap. Saturn fans must be discriminating but the rewards can be great!

zomg wtf. xDThe Saturn does indeed have some amazing games. I would go as far to say it is my favorite console. Unfortunately, most of the good games have become very expensive.

I think my parents would freak out about that.
And they wouldn't be too happy about me buying a 125$ game. =P

The Magic Knight Rayearth RPG is tied for my favorite along with NiGHTS. But geez, some copies of it are going for upwards of $100! o_0 I could make some good money off that spare copy I have -
