Considering how much I love playing X4 on Saturn, doing the whole series with a wireless Saturn controller is a true joy! Likewise, playing Sonic Mania on Switch feels right at home on a Genesis pad and I don’t think I can ever do it any other way from here on out again.Īnother game, many of you will agree with me, that has always felt better playing with a Sega-style pad is Street Fighter. Playing through the Mega Man X titles also resulted in a flawless experience. Playing through Star Fox and Super Mario World felt really good and responsive. It feels so good to play these titles with a rocker style D-pad and I have just become such a fan of doing so. I began by trying out titles in the SNES App, and I don’t know what it is, but playing SNES games with a Sega controller is something I will never quite get used to. I am really glad that Retro-Bit made the controllers rumble on these commands so I know when they are actually taking effect! To do this is very simple hold down on the D-pad and Start until the controller rumbles. Otherwise, inputs on games won’t line up quite right and it becomes a bit of an awkward experience. I have to admit that a good number of my hours of testing were done on Switch, as its library of classic games suited for this style of retro controller is just fantastic! One thing I will instantly recommend all Switch players do, is swap their A/B and X/Y buttons to match those of a Nintendo console. Through my testing, I used both controllers on Switch, PS3, Android, PC, NES, SNES, and even a real Genesis.

While I am happy to see that the build quality of Retro-Bit’s new Bluetooth Sega controllers is just as good as their wired cousins, I am even happier with how well they play. These are the People’s controllers right here indeed! Gameplay There was one final test I decided to subject the controllers to just for fun. The controllers also took throws very well and added another dent to my accessories wall of damage! My now infamous jump test also proved little trouble, aside from stopping my heart each time. Pressure and twist tests have shown that these controllers still got it in the sturdiness department. The battery pack has also made it so the backs of both controllers are slightly thicker than the standard controllers.Īll the added girth for the controllers had me a bit concerned about how they would hold up in my build quality tests. With how good everything has felt to play on the controller, it is safe to say it did not impact usability in any way! But, we will get into that more in a bit.
I didn’t even notice the height difference at first, and it was only from talking to my Retro-Bit rep that I even became aware of it being a thing. The inclusion of the rumble motors did necessitate the Genesis controllers D-pad to be raised by 1mm to allow it to fit.

This weight addition feels good to me and rumble motors are a welcome addition for PC and Switch gaming! The rumble motors also happen to work on PS3 and emulation as well. The labeling for these new buttons is done in the same style as the Start button, so on Genesis, it is printed above the button, while on Saturn they are raised plastic.īoth controllers have increased weight to them as rumble motors have been added into each handle as well as a 550 MAh rechargeable battery.
Next, there are new Home and Select buttons which will greatly expand compatibility on modern games and systems.
The bottom of the Saturn controller bears a ghostly reminder that this controller has, up until this point, always been wired. First, the cord is gone shocker! Where the cords once emerged has instead been replaced with a micro USB port and a line of LEDs to indicate player number. There are some very key differences though. The authentic Sega branding is still in place to make these controllers feel straight from the ’90s, only without that crappy IR wireless stuff from back in the day.
Aesthetically these are nearly identical to Retro-Bit’s previous wired offerings for PC.
