Sega Saturn start-up collection...

Sega Saturn had 2 sibling models as OEM, Hi-Saturn from Hitachi and V-Saturn from Victor JVC, both of which were previously affiliated with Sega to support developing its innovative and more high-tech console than its long-time rival Nintendo. Basically, both models were almost the identical to the original one in the mechanical specifications except some additional applications, for example, Video & Photo CD player were equipped with Hi-Saturn to distinguish itself from the original product released by Sega. 

Why did those OEM models were launched and supplied to affiliated manufacturers? Because they wanted to sell the sibling products in electronic markets which didn't  deal with gaming gadgets very much especially in 1990s. Sega Saturn was mainly available in toy shops or gaming retailers. Thus, sibling models applicable to the electronic shops were retailed as visual appliance or multimedia player for the ambition to augment and boost the markets against the rivals such as  Nintendo & Sony. 

The openings of the each model were mutually different from the original version. Although V-Saturn and Sega Saturn purveyed almost the same movies except the different logos, Hi-Saturn did distinctive one against them that contained some remarkable 3D logos on the cosmic backdrop.
