Well, it's the official Sega Saturn pad for the PS2...
Looks funny how the logos were placed.

Priced at 2394yen (about $20).
Release on March 24 in Japan.

The Virtua Stick for PS2 is also coming out same day.
 
man I would have killed for one of those back in the PS1 days. guess that didn't happen for obvious reasons :P
 
Fuck yeah, that's sweet. The ergonomics could use some work, but it still has the best button layout ever. Score one for Sega. PEACE.
 
This will make gaming fun again!

Well, no...no it won't, but it will at least take the pain away...for a short while.
 
Now we just need a Sega Saturn Collection for the PS2 featuring Nights, Panzer 1 and 2, Clockwork Knight 2, Burning Rangers, and lots and lots of AM2 arcade games.


Ah, fuck it. I'll just buy it for Street Fighter.

I'd prefer to keep them where they belong..on saturn..untouched..unspoiled..thank you very much.
 
That's sweet with Sega making all kinds of retro controllers, both their own and even some Neo Geo stuff =)

Does the Virtua Stick look like the one that just came out for the PC?

But regardless of all the Sega goodies coming out I just got my JDM Hori RAP (great huge joystick...takes a little while to get used to when playing Street Fighter but it's awesome for Virtua Fighter! =), and I might pick up another RAP that comes with the Tekken 5 bundle.
 
Isn't this AGES (see what I did there!?) old?
Or was that just a version for PC?
The (pre?)TGS issue of Dorimaga had them in the massive Sega 2004 feature I seem to remember. Woo! there's also a cut out papercraft Outrun arcade cabinet to make too.
I'll try and remember to scan it and post it here. Then we can get busy with the glue.
Oh god, seriously. What is happening to me? I am actually regressing.
:)

:lol

Is this made by the same company / Sega subsidiary that made the PC USB Saturn pad clones? Cuz they sucked. Or the one I bought had an unusable d-pad, anyway.
 
I was just using the saturn version of this yesterday on my xbox...man it felt so good, best dpad EVER. I hope they don't screw the feel of it up. I'll take two if they get it right.

It's funny seeing the ps logo on that controller though...just a little ironic. At least it seems maybe SEGA realizes that they had the best controller ever, and still do, so why not release a ps version of it. Dammit Sega, DC could of used one of these too you know (I had a converter anyway though)

Yes. I absolutely love mine. I don't think it uses name-brand arcade parts, but it's smooth and responsive as all hell, and quite solid.

Is the PS2 version based on the Saturn stick? From what I remember, the casing looks different to the Saturn virtua stick.

There were two Saturn Virtua Sticks. One was released in the US and Japan, wasn't very good, and looks like this:

The other was Japan-only and looks just like the above, but with a different color scheme:

Seeing all these classic pads iz nice, but i think it would be much better if they tried to make their own Dual Shock.
 
I completely believe the d-pad will suck, or, at least, be nowhere as good as the Saturn one.

Kinda like the recent Saturnish USB pad they released.

Still, six face buttons = hard to mess up.

So wait... the USB pad was not a straight forward copy of the original? Huh?
 
I use to have one for the Sega Saturn dubbed "Sega COOL pad" at the time - I loved it and used it for fighting games aplenty.

There are some games that should stay Saturn Exclusive - Panzer Saga and NiGHTS being prime examples. If people didn't support Saturn back then that's their hard time.

I never used one myself, but I also read that the d-pad on the USB Saturn pads were absolute crap.

I own one, and whomever started that completely false rumor is a fucking idiot.

It is identical in every way to the Saturn pad. It is, for all intents and purposes, the exact same pad but with a USB connector instead of the Saturn connector.

"I read that the d-pad on the USB Saturn pads were absolute crap." Please.
 
Now all we need is PS2s and Xboxen THEMSELVES with SEGA logos on... and it's will be JUST LIKE SEGA IS BACK!!

I will buy at least 15 of these controllers.
Or maybe just... er, 1.

No id didn't. It was a photo of a regular Saturn pad.
 
I remember when I owned in Street Fighter 2 :SCE using that Controller back in the day.
I even had X-band for playing Super Street Fighter :lol
