Sega obviously rushed the release of the Saturn. Hearing about Sony's upcoming console, they wanted to be first in the scene to try and imitate their early console advantage in the 16-bit era. Maybe that is why they didn't have their big guns ready at the start. Specially missing was their newly iconic mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog. Which is why Bug, the titular character of Bug! , was actually conceived and developed as a possible mascot for the Saturn. Both the character and the game were made to represent the capabilities of the new console. That was a big mistake. Chucking the entire thing into the ocean would have been a better demonstration. 100: Bug!: Year: 1995. Genre: Platformer. Publisher: Sega. Developer: Realtime Associates.
