Your going to want to get rid of them vertical buttons and get some horizontal buttons like your start button the vertical buttons jam up

Ports were done on other consoles, but "better" is a stretch. Seriously Jim, what console had the best port of Street Fighter Alpha 2? Yeah, the Saturn port. Im not even talking about the amazing import titles. Dunno why youre trying to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on this project when somewhere out there someone is making an N64 bartop.
I think its a great idea, I have a spare Saturn, I might do one too.
Some Saturn games that would work well with this:
Dragon Force, Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix, Asuka 120% Burning Fest Limited, Guardian Heroes, DoDonPachi, All the Virtua Fighters, Battle Garegga, Saturn Bomberman, Shinobi Legions, Radiant Silvergun, Batsugun, the aformentioned SFA2 and all the other CPS2 and NeoGeo ports.
OP: if you're lookin for any particular games, lemme know

I clicked on this post thinking it said "Solar Powered Bartop." My eyes/brain aren't working today.
+1 for using original hardware and another +1 for testing the layout before drilling into anything.
How are you going to deal with changing discs?
How about adding controller ports to the side to use the original controls as well?
