this shit absolutely skullmogs the 8bitdo M30
>>719532039 Unironically true. I picked one up last week and it feels like a legitimate next-gen Saturn pad. The D-pad alone is leagues ahead of the M30’s mushy mess. Plus the triggers actually feel responsive instead of... whatever the hell 8bitdo thinks "LT/RT" should feel like.
i fucking hate how the m30 doesn't have mode mapped to a shoulder like the original 6 button did, does this one make the same mistake
I just want a good d-pad and six buttons plus shoulder buttons for a retro controller that isn't prone to spontaneous failure. And then I also have to replace my shit ass broken 8bitdo Ultimate with something new and BT so that I can handle PC/Steam Deck stuff better.
why are you guys suddenly shilling this so much, i had literally bring it up once in a controller thread because i was thinking about it and now am seeing more posts talking about it
>>719534669>Anon buys new thing>Anon wants to bring it to class for show and tell
>>719534758i just find it odd since i heard no one talking about this controller at all until i brought it up, still am thinking about getting it though.
>>719534317it doesn't have a mode button, and it actually has L and R buttons (hence 8-button not 6-button)it has a select button on the faceon genesis the mode switch is done by holding start and b
>>719532039The chinese mogs everyone at manufacturing. Retrobit took forever to release these while gamesaars dumps a new controller by the month. Same with handhelds. Valve is going to take a few more years to get the Deck 2 right and we're going to see at least a hundred chinese handhelds flood the market during the time between then and now.
>>719532039How did these turn out so good when Retro-Bit's Saturn repros got progressively worse and worse over time?
>>719532039why does it have shoulder buttons?the original six button didn't have shoulder buttons
>>719538292so you can play ps1 and saturn games with itif you really hate bumpers so much you can get the wired version, the original version also had a wire
>>719532039>"retro" on the boxNot getting my money.
>>719538270God, I know what you mean. I went through two of them because the D-Pad broke on both. I was just emulating FF7 when the right direction stopped working. Bought a new one, same fucking thing happened but even faster. Barely even got out of Midgar. Last time I buy Retro-Bit, fuck.
>>719532039>>719532203Okay cunts why the sudden interest? Mine literally arrives tomorrow.>>719534669I had to fight real hard to get mine.I got mine because I was playing the Mega Drive collection, Retroarch and Mini.Maybe it has to do with the new Shinobi game since I have been seeing more Sega threads as of late.
>>719538270Seriously? Same anon as >>719539342here.I was fucking mad that I could not get a Genesis controller and I almost went for the Saturn one when I managed to fetch a Crimson One but I had to pay more for shipping. I thought the Saturn controller looked cool.
>>719539459Their Saturn controllers got progressively worse in terms of build quality and quality control, culminating in their (bafflingly dev-hell'd) 3D Pad redesign/replacement that shits the bad massively. The wired pads were okay, then the wireless ones saw a downgrade in material quality, then the 3D Pad (as stated) is an abomination.
Why is the Saturn pad so fucking overrated? The Genesis 6-button's dpad is so much better it's insane
>>719542019Because Sega Saturn has this air of mysticism about it that cause people to act like it's really fucking cool, when in reality besides the 3D Pad being competent for what it was, the qualities of it really boiled down to a few of the games being really fucking good and some killer arcade ports that stayed in Japan or obscure versions of games that were better on it than PS1.It's like how people sucked Sonic CD's dick for 18 years about how it was a hidden gem of an excellent game, one of the best Sonic games ever and all that shit, until the 2011 Taxman port came out and people realized that it was actually incredibly average as a game and mostly had its soundtrack and presentation going for it. People create this fantasy in their heads that something lesser known has to be better since it wasn't so mainstream.
it's so funny how no one has ever felt like revising the tiny xyz buttons
>>719542279there's thisidk how good it is
>>719532039I just beat a Touhou game with thisWorks very fucking good for shmups
>>719542381its not, lots of bad reviews, its trash.Get a wired Retrobit slate black controller for the Saturn.Get Retrofighters for Dreamcast.If you really wanna feel like a cum, get a 8bitdo saturn controller.Or you could be a man and order the real deal OG with redone pads straight from Japan.
