Do we have a perfect Saturn controller solution yet?

Hi there, have you looked into the RetroBit sega saturn controller? It's a carbon copy of the official Saturn pad that can be used with the Polymega. I bought one for my Satirn games and it works a treat!

Kinda disappointed

Ive been using a Sega Saturn controller for about the last 20 years. Ive tried other 6 button pads but none of them are as good IMO for fighting games.

Fighting Games with The Playstation Dpad compared to the Saturn

Not even in the same league. Sega Saturn controller is without a doubt one of the best for fighting games ,the Neo Geo controller may be a very close second in my opinion.

Got this recently. What controller/stick do y’all use to play fighting games?

This is a clone of the sega Saturn controller IMHO the best gamepad for fighters. Seeing it being reintroduced gives me it’s a good thing vibe.

My controller collection for emulator use. Anyone has any recommendations for the next one ?

Retro-Bit USB Sega Saturn controller. And it works great for old school pc platformers (such as Jazz Jackrabbit)

Any suggestions for a Dpad?

I use retro-bit sega saturn 2.4ghz review The biggest weakest IMO is that your hands get sweaty and make the controller dirty playing fighting game with it. The warmth comes from the wireless part, and the small surface doesn't really dissipate heat well (then your hand gets active in fighting games

This is the best pad for fighters HANDS DOWN

It looks like a nice spiritual successor to the Sega Saturn controller. I'd definitely use it for both 2D Fighters and Sonic Mania.

How is the Genesis 6 Button Controller for Street Fighter? Thoughts?

The sega Saturn pad is the best pad for fighting games on the Switch. There is no comparison. https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-Official-Saturn-Controller-Genesis/dp/B07SN9XKZK/

What’s the best controller ever made?

For 2d games, the Sega Saturn controller. For 3D games, the Wii U pro Controller.
