To this day, Sega Rally Championship remains my barometer for the proper physicality every arcade racer should strive for - and a lot of that relates to how the handling plays off the Saturn's D-pad. Sega certainly has been no stranger to lending its name to sub-standard products in recent years, but this particular venture with Retro-Bit is no slapdash licensing job. Rather, it's fully partnered with Sega to ensure that these new controllers are as similar to their decades-old counterparts as possible. But the gaming accessory maker isn't rushing through the development phase. The cable on each is 10 feet long - a generous length in an age when Nintendo is pumping out NES and SNES pads with comically short, 5-foot cables.įor those who would still rather go wireless, Retro-Bit will eventually offer Bluetooth models of the Genesis and Saturn controllers as well, in addition to Dreamcast and Saturn 3D reproductions.
They start at $14.99 for the 6-button Genesis controller, and go up to $24.99 for a Saturn USB one, while the USB-compatible Genesis controller adds shoulder buttons to the mix. Retro-Bit's Genesis and Saturn controllers currently come in two colors each, and customers have their choice of USB versions or ones that utilize the consoles' proprietary connectors.
