Bulk Slash is just one of the most enjoyable action games I have played from the 32-bit era: its mixture of arena/free-roam levels and huge boss keeps things fun, if a little easy. mention to GunGriffon, which would be there if I didn't think the later missions get a little bit too hard for their own good.
Nonetheless, when I look at the exclusives I've played, I'd consider Panzer Dragoon Zwei and Bulk Slash to be the best games I have played on the system. The final boss is one of the best final bosses in gaming if only for how the music and scenery contribute to the exultation in taking it down.
Zwei is about as good as a rail shooter can get: branching paths, developed scoring system, and an atmosphere and mood that sets itself above so many of its peers (and its predecessor) by being somber and down-beat. I mean, there are the honorable mentions of the VING Taito ports (Elevator Action 2, Bubble Symphony, Metal Black) for being obsessively arcade-perfect (at a time when even seemingly 1:1 ports have minor differences). I mean, Darius Gaiden is a nice port, but there is little that makes it stand out from booting the ROM in MAME. I've owned and played a lot of Saturn games, and I'd like to first-hand count out most of the arcade ports that don't *really* make the system worthwhile, especially with the existence of MAME in the state that it is in these days.
