I think I'd be surprised if they come out too, but they have a contract with SEGA, so I'm sure something needs to be released. I'm still looking forward to them every time I have to plug in DC controllers.

Since RetroFighters dropped the ball for Dreamcast controllers with not having 6-face buttons, I’m glad to see RetroBit doing it.

Hope their supply chain can crank these out in “Sega sports black” by spring!

Also would love 4 of those dual stick Saturn, in hardwired, for team 1, in my dual multitap setup for Saturn Bomberman local 8p (10p mode isn’t as pretty)

The dual analog controllers are mostly for modern systems, so no way they would consider doing wired versions. Only ones that were wired are the classic ones in USB or original console connector.

Surprise! Delayed again, with no ETA given.

Which will come first, these controllers, or the Dreamcast 2?

Dsmmit! Been waiting for these things for almost 4 fucking years now! This is turning into a joke! They were announced at CES 2018 for crying out loud! Almost 4 years ago! :lol:

Also damn, they redesigned the Saturn controller compared to the prototype.

Not a fan of the Saturn controller redesign. Too bulky and way too much going on. Some things don't need fixing.

They also just announced this thing, a 6 button Genesis controller with the style of the 3 button controller. Some of you might have noticed that the first image in this thread shows this controller, and that it was supposed to release in September/October 2019.

I guess they just didn't already have enough on their plate?
