Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend is a Sega Saturn billiards game developed and published by Data East as a sequel to Side Pocket. In Japan the game was renamed Side Pocket 2: Densetsu no Hustler (サイド・ポケット２ ～伝説のハスラー～).

It was followed by Side Pocket 3, also released for the Saturn, but only in Japan.

Gameplay

Unlike its Mega Drive counterpart, Minnesota Fats on the Saturn features a different story mode with full motion video cutscenes. Characters were all played by American actors alongside the the real Rudolf "Minnesota Fats" Wanderone of which the game is named after. In Japan, all the cutscenes are dubbed over in Japanese (including Minnesota Fats).
