Steam-Heart's & Advanced Variable Geo Saturn Tribute

Steam-Heart’s & Advanced V.G. Saturn Tribute, released for Nintendo Switch. It’s a compilation of two classic Sega Saturn titles, now brought back as part of the “Saturn Tribute” series for modern consoles.

This is a collection including Steam-Heart’s, a classic science-fiction shoot ’em up game known for its cute visuals, and Advanced Variable Geo, a fighting game also popular in the worlds of anime and comics. In addition to adjustments typical of Saturn Tribute ports, the collection also features a variety of options, such as “Save & Load” and “Rewind” functions, to support both long-time fans and new players alike.

1. Steam-Heart’s

Genre: Vertical shoot ’em up.

Special feature: Alongside the traditional shooting gameplay, the game is well-known for its visual novel-style story scenes with fanservice and ecchi elements, which stirred up controversy at the time of release.

Players control a fighter ship, battling various female bosses. After defeating a boss, a dialogue or unique scene is unlocked.

Considered a cult classic for its unusual mix of arcade shooting and mature-themed storytelling.

2. Advanced V.G. (Variable Geo Advanced)

Genre: Fighting game.

An entry in the Variable Geo series, featuring an all-female roster of martial artists competing in a combat tournament.

Gameplay resembles Street Fighter / King of Fighters, with special moves, combos, and super attacks.

Its cast of female fighters, mixed with light fanservice, gives it a distinct charm and identity.

3. Saturn Tribute Edition

The Saturn Tribute line by City Connection brings back classic Sega Saturn games to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

This version retains the original gameplay while adding modern features like rewind, quick save/load, and adjustable difficulty, making it easier to enjoy today.

In short, this compilation is perfect for retro fans—especially those who enjoy shmups with fanservice (Steam-Heart’s) and all-girl fighting action (Advanced V.G.).
