This will be the final feed post on SegaSaturn.co.uk in it's current guise. For our 5th anniversary in April this site will be replaced by a brand new version. The new site will be largely blog and article based while also featuring the same information contained here, including all the excellent reviews plus some new additions. We will also introduce social media links enabling you to tweet, facebook or +1 any articles and/or reviews on the site. It's been a long time coming but we're almost there.
The forums will remain largely unaffected apart from a change of layout. Many thanks for your continued support, Mick and the SS:UK team.

 Hi there Saturn fans, you may have noticed a lack of updates on the actual site at the moment, although our forum is going great guns as usual!
The site is currently undergoing a massive and complete redesign, this will include a totally new layout AND the addition of a proper database for our user reviews section.
It may be a few months before this new site is operational, but do take a look at our Community Forum which has already been updated with the new design.
Don't forget to come and join our community forums if you haven't already!
Mick and the SS:UK team.

| Not just a website, a way of life. |
| 31/03/2011 |
 It is with much regret, that this latest news update is to
report the closure of what I considered to be one of the most important video
games related websites ever to grace the interweb, Gary Cutlack's
brilliantly satirical site UK:Resistance has finally closed it's doors
after 15 years.
What was originally one of the finest Sega news and reviews sites, became a
scathingly funny and intensely well written commentary on the games industry as
a whole, as well as a repository for any interesting and/or amusing games
related news, with Sega of course still taking prominence.
If not for UK:R and the already long departed Sega-Saturn.com, this website and
the community it attempts to build would quite simply not exist.
This is a sad day for both myself personally and for all those that found a voice, thanks to the writings of Gary and many others at UK:R.
You shall be sadly missed by many, and on behalf of the five legged limping but
determined spider that is SS:UK, I would like to salute a sadly fallen giant of
planetary proportions.

| The Super Quick March Update! |
| 18/03/2011 |
 Hi there Saturn fans!
As many of you already know I've been in very poor health these past few months, and life has generally conspired to derail any well laid plans I may have had.
However, we're rapidly getting back on track and we'll start off with plugging a few new reviews on the site:
As you will notice our current featured review of Shining the Holy Ark is a spanking new review by site contributor <martiniii> who has also written an excellent (and rather controversial) review of Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean, adding another great review to our U.S games section.
We also have a great review of the Saturn classic Wing Arms by long time forum member <Sonix>
The review section will be busy over the next few weeks but we still want your reviews, especially for titles not yet covered.
Keep living the dream,
Mick and the SS:UK team.

| Ho Ho Ho! Merry Xmas! |
| 11/12/2010 |
 Yes it's that time of year again already, and to celebrate another Xmas here at SS:UK and over 1,000 registered forum members, we're having a little competition!
We want you to show us your individual artistic talents, by producing an artistic piece based on both Xmas and our beloved Sega Saturn.
This can take the form of a drawing, photograph, sculpture, film or anything remotely artistic, and most importantly original.
There are some pretty awesome prizes on offer for the top 3 entries, and perhaps another prize for the worst entry!
This contest is open to registered SS:UK forum members only, and all the details are available on our forum under the 'Site and Board' section at the bottom.
So go forth, and be artistic!
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from all here at Sega Saturn UK.

| September News! |
| 16/09/2010 |
 Well we've tried to hit September running here at SS:UK, and the more eagle eyed amongst you may notice that quite a few more reviews are being uploaded to our reviews database.
I'm currently working through a large backlog, so if you've sent a review in that has not appeared don't panic! it will be up soon.
Long time forum regular and contributor Nick Ellingworth has written an excellent 'PAL Beginner's Guide' for the site which can be found in our 'Docs and Downloads' section under 'Guides'.
And to make september extra special, why not head on over to cubeecraft.com and treat yourself to a cut-out and build Sega Saturn!

Well folks that's all for now, but the updates will be coming thick and fast over the next few months so stay tuned, and dont forget to come in and make like minded friends by joining our amazing community forum.
All the best, Mick and the SS:UK Team.

| SS:UK on YouTube! |
| 06/06/2009 |
 Well it's been a quiet few weeks here at SS:UK, largely due to the admin's decorating debacles, however there have been a few additions, the most notable of which is our new YouTube channel!
Largely thanks to forum regular 'retsub101' we now have a small selection of videos for your viewing pleasure at:
http://www.youtube.com/segasaturncouk
But we need more! any members can have access to our YouTube account, simply join our forum and send a Private Message to Admin to discuss your video and obtain the password (changed periodically)
Alternatively you can still email any videos to submissions@segasaturn.co.uk or upload them to a file hosting site and send us the link.
In other news our reviews database is growing all the time and we are still working through the backlog, but keep those reviews coming in!
And lastly another big thanks to all our supporters on our forum, 550 members and growing...
