And do they have anything to do with the single-player story mode?

It's got the opening video... that's not in any other version that I know of.

Saturn version has:
Enhanced graphical touches.
Extra character.
Omake disc.
Opening movie.

Dreamcast version has:
No slowdown (though both versions run worlds better than they do on any Neo-Geo hardware).
English.
Better sound.

The DC version also lets you choose which hardware to run the game through (basically letting you decide how much slowdown you want). The DC version is my Twinkle of choice, the Engrish settles it by far (Rabicat!). The only nice thing about the Saturn version is that you can play "Story Mode" with any character.

Thanks for the info guys! Well an extra character sounds great to me, as I'll pretty much just be playing this in "Story Mode"-which is so fun to me, it's worth owning the game for!

I haven't check eBay in a while, but iirc the Saturn version is slightly more expensive. Neither version is a bargain bin game though. The Saturn version is probably even more expensive when you take shipping into acccount, lots of eBay sellers jack up the shipping for double CD games.

Last I checked both versions ran for $70-80.

Thankfully, I traded my copy of DC Psyvarier 2 for it.

Really? Wow. Last I checked, DC ran about 50, Saturn ran about 60.

The DC was $50, but I just sold mine for $70+, for some reason.

The DC version has acutally gone way up in price. It was a apparently a smaller print-run by SNK (I remember paying $33 for it on release).
