Cotton 2 is a legit awesome horizontal 2D shmup in the cute em up genre and Success hit a home run with this one! It’s got everything a retro gaming fan would want from a 2D shmup and today I am playing it on the ST-V. Of course you can also play it on the Sega Saturn but this is the ST-V Seven after all!

Would have been pretty cool to see this included on Cotton Reboot too.
HI, where can i find games for this system?
Don't you get tired of saying the same thing everytime for every upload? Goodness…. Get a real job!
Thanks for reminding me about this one; had a lot of fun playing it on the Saturn.
I'm only commenting for the YouTube algorithm 😅
I have a feeling that Squid boss was inspired by a certain Game & Watch handheld.
I like Rock 'n Roll and the recent X68000 remake quite a bit. I have the Saturn Cotton 2 and a ram cart for the extra voices and stuff. Nice game!
The Astro City Mini has the original AC Cotton, but it's missing the version with the hilarious Engrish. Good thing that version can be played on MiSTer.
A handful of ST-V games did reach US arcade, most notably Die Hard Arcade. Neat game with a nice home version (oddly enough, even the JP Dynamite Deka version has full English text with the Saturn set to English). Perplexes me that Virtua Fighter Remix had an arcade release. Felt pointless with VF2 already making the rounds in arcades.
I wish you could plug those ST-V cartridges into the cartridge slot of the Saturn
I have both games for the sega saturn, they're cool
I've been playing the other games quite a bit. I have the Super Famicom game too I got it JUST before it's recent spike in value. I have Reboot and Rock N Roll Fantasy and 2 and Boomerang are sitting on my Saitator but I haven't really dug into them yet. The Graphics in these are top tier 2d for the time too.
These are on Switch but the emulation is really spotty and laggy. I'm not sensitive to input lag but even I noticed it.
I'm not 100% sure but Cotton 2 requires the 1mb Ram Cart while boomerang doesn't I could be remember something wrong….
Something I learned only a few months ago…
charming, hope i can try cotton 2 on my ayn odin pro
This has become one of my favorite YouTube channels. It’s very nice to have playing in the background at work and to check out these games when I get home.
Huge bummer that MAME has like 6-7 frames of input delay with ST-V emulation on top of the line PCs.
Of course trying to find a cart for my st-v is almost impossible.
I have Cotton Boomerang for Saturn. Put off getting Cotton 2 because of the Saturn Tribute Collection and that turned out to be a dud and the funds are gone. Oh well, somewhere down the line.
I want to try this game someday.
The visuals are amazing in this. I really need to check out this series! I’ve only played the original on my Astro City mini 😀
There is a translation released last year for Cotton 2 on the Saturn, while the game is mostly playable in japanese, its very cool to be able to understand the story!
I would have loved to run into this game in the arcade!
I always loved the Cotton franchise VGE I always enjoy playing the games and Cotton 2 is surely one of them. So glad this one made it onto your channel bro. 8^)
Anthony..
Was enjoying this recently. It's similar to Deathsmiles which I also enjoy. And then there's Harmful Park…
Awesome, never heard of this series, looks like rallying nice!
Dropping a comment to appease The Algorithm and it’s unyielding demands.
