I've got a friend who is in Japane and is interested in picking up a Saturn. Unfortunately he has a few questions that I'm unable to answer, so I was hoping somewhere here could give me/him some help.
1) Is there any notible difference between the white and grey systems other than color?
Well, grey systems look more like the old model Saturns, the one with the rounded CD lid, access and power lights, and oval buttons for power/reset. the white model looks like the 2nd model Saturn, flatter CD lid, no access light but still a power light, along with round buttons for the reset and power buttons
2) Do the US and Japan use different voltage standards?
Yes, but the difference is rather small, so you will be able to use a JP Saturn here with no problems. That is, unless you live in the UK, I'm not too familiar with voltage equavilents ^^;
3) I'm looking for some game recomendations that aren't Radiant Silvergun, Sakura Taisen 1&2, Soukyugurentai, or Nights.
Well, I'll go out of what I have in my personal collection on this one, so it's kinda odd.. I really like the two Digital Pinball games, Necronomicon, and Last Gladiators.... Powerslave is another fun one, I'm not much of a FPS fan, but this one was really interesting and didn't rely on just blasting things... If you can read japanese, the Super Robot Taisen games, F and F Final are both excellent.. eh, I'll leave it to other people to name more ^^
Thanks.
No Problem! :)

As others already said, the vampire ports are good. Same goes for SotN. I may add Grandia (can't remember if it came out for pluckstation, never owned one). It's a bit old, and the scenario is somehow dull, but I've spent more than 80 hours on it the first time and enjoyed it actually. Also, your friend can get some Marvel vs street fighter crap for the sake of cyber akuma and norimaro madness. Rayearth games were good IMO, old KOF rule (playable Goenitz), and a lot of other anime stuff (non-eva) that can be found on that great system.

Saturn SOTN is pretty painful if you've already played the PSX version. The port is bad in general - scratchy sound, slowdown, worse backgrounds, the aforementioned lack of transparency, more load time, and the fact that it runs at 30fps instead of 60. The new areas are small and not really worth it, and Richter and Maria don't have any story sequences. Stick with the PSX version. The Saturn version is overpriced and overhyped. Get the Japanese PSX release if you want the original voices. I think it's had about fifteen separate rereleases.
Battle Garegga is awesome. It's my favorite shooter ever, followed closely by Layer Section, which can be found for dirt-cheap in either Japan or the US (as Galactic Attack). If you like pinball, Last Gladiators and Necronomicon are must-buys. They're the best videogame representation of pinball to date. Sengoku Blade is another great shooter, and isn't quite as hard as most of Psikyo's other games (it's my favorite of theirs). There's a lot of other great shooters on the system, Strikers 1945 and Thunder Force V included. The port of SFZ3 is the best one in existence. Panzer Dragoon I and II are old-looking now, but they're still fun.
About Princess Crown: yes, the animation is beautiful, but I found the game itself lacking a bit. It plays stiffly and the battles aren't very exciting. Guardian Heroes/Panzer Bandit it ain't. Japanese comprehension is pretty much required as well.
