About this deal

So, generally I really like the controller and love playing games with it. But a few changes and it could have been perfect. - Graham Cookson Why would you care about that? Well, the bain of all emulation is that playing the games on things like an Xbox One controller or a Nacon not only doesn’t give you the real feel but with you having to remap buttons or missing certain control methods mean you aren’t getting the experience the way it was meant to be. This leads to nostalgia wearing off and great games not being as good as you remembered the, Anybody who grew up playing video games in the nineties or who enjoys playing retro games on their original hardware will know that video game controllers used to be pretty small. Thankfully, however, gamepads have gotten a lot bigger over time, meaning that large-handed players no longer have to contort their fingers into unnatural and uncomfortable positions while playing video games. There were many contributing factors to this gradual enlargening, but the Sega Dreamcast gamepad definitely played a part. Gestalt (October 17, 2000). "Dreamcast - thanks a million". Eurogamer.

There can be no doubt that Sega’s Dreamcast console was much-maligned at the time and could largely be blamed for taking Sega out of the lucrative console market, leaving it to be farmed by Microsft and Sony for the next 20 years. So it seems that in principle, the Dreamcast could have supported controllers with an array of features comparable to the current generation's, but sadly such controllers were never actually produced. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v Hagiwara, Shiro; Oliver, Ian (November–December 1999).
