I've removed the publisher designation due to how long ago we're talking about, makes the data more difficult to work with. And... these are physical sales only because we're talking a while ago here.

Let's start with Sega Saturn, launched in May 1995. Madden NFL 97 was the best-selling game on the system, with fan favorites Nights and Panzer Dragoon also cracking the top 10.

Not a lot of surprises on the N64 list, dominated by major 1st party franchises that are even more successful today. And of course, the legendary Goldeneye 007.
