This reminds me of the time I walked into a local Best Buy and found a brand new Super Nintendo controller that was compatible with both PC and SNES. Maybe the Dreamcast could get the same treatment?DCGX wrote:New accessories for the Dreamcast would be cool, but I read this as controllers just for PC (and possibly PS4 and mobile).

They claim to be for sega consoles. But not limited to them. So I take this as there will be licenced sega style controllers for sega consoles and most likely usb controllers also. Or with dual cords.DCGX wrote:New accessories for the Dreamcast would be cool, but I read this as controllers just for PC (and possibly PS4 and mobile). I think we still have to dream for wireless DC controllers. It'd be nice if they created an all-in-one box or cable to directly connect the DC via HDMI. Except those handful of incompatible games would still not work.
Bluetooth wireless with a receiver to plug into the console would be sweet though.
Possibly a master system controller too???

If anything I would hope for a modem replacement that is ready for modern internet to bypass the dreampi. Plug and play for all online games.

Re: Retrobit sega partnership. New Dreamcast/ Sega hardware- peripherals.
I'm gonna be the negative nancy and say it: had it really killed them to update at least the analog stick to a more modern, PS4 style stick? The dpad could have been updated as well to be more like the Saturn, but changing the analog stick would really have been a simple task IMO..I might be alone on this, but it annoys me when they replicate bad/annoying features just to stay authentic to the original version of the item.
