Sweden, Iceland and Finland received Sega Saturn in 1995 at a similar time as in Western Europe. Norway received Saturn in March 1997.^[1]

In the Baltics, Saturn was first released in Lithuania before Christmas 1995^[2]and by early 1996 in Latvia and Estonia, but full retail sales for Eastern Europe started in May 1996^[3]. Despite the good sales of Mega Drive, its successor didn't achieve such good results due to the high price, which was too high for the people in Baltic region.
