0:45 - It took me a while to get used to the feel of the smaller pad and I s'pose I'd like try out a "3 button size, 6 button pad" but, once I'd got used to the smaller size, rough feeling pad and new convex buttons, I was pretty quickly in love.
I was just reminiscing about the time we (me and my Megadrive) spent together and I remembered all the thumb blisters I got after extra long sessions with the 6-button pad that I never had before with the 3-button... Hmmm.
you could play street fighter on 3 button controller. I had a SFII champions edition back in the days and my friend figure out that there is a two working modes, you change them when you press START. EX you start the game ABC buttons work as a punch, after you press start they work as a kick.. If you wanted to go back to punch you had to push a start again... luckly moves in street fighter are easy to engage so playing with a 3button controller is not a problem.
@krzysg1982 Ill have to try that sometime. I need to order a new controller anyways I already went through 3 in 2 months. I think it was really crappy brand Retro-pad or something.
@aztc1979 Apparently some games were not compatible with the 6-button pad, so pressing the Mode button would make the game think it was a standard 3-button controller. Although in my experience I never found any games that didn't work with it.
I live in eastern europe, and there is not a single shop that sells retro consoles, but today i walk into this shop i go once a month and BAM this exact controller brand new, was 3 euros, i asked if theres anything more consoles, games- nothing, but im so happy :)
i remember having a clear controller for my genesis and that controller for my genesis but i was young and i was kinda holding an ice lolly in my hand and i wrecked the contoller
I don't have my sega genesis anymore but i still have one of those 6 button controllers sitting in a drawer in my room. The last remaining relic of my much missed 16 bit gaming days :(. I'm probably gonna pick up another genesis one day. I really regret selling mine back in the day
Of all the pads I've had for a variety of consoles, this is an absolute gem.
The size isn't an issue and the D-pad is excellent (not the same at all, the older one was a lot stiffer). My six button still works fine and overall seems more robust than the older ones (I got through two of those).
This controller was perfect for my smaller hands when I was just a lad. I thought the d-pad was more responsive, as well. To bad not many games used the three extra buttons. I only remember using them for Toejam and Earl 2.
This is why i bought the SFIV fightpad for Xbox360. It reminded me of this when my older brother used to play SFII with this controller for sega. lol good times
Man, i loved my Sega Genesis ;'(. I remember my genesis controller had the copper wires partly showing through the top, and it still worked fantastic! They made shit tough back then.
I bought one of these recently to play Beyond Oasis ( yeah you dont need it, but for the heck of it). I must admit this controller is absolutely perfect for my hands, after years of not playing with Sega products I am a believer again.
Its no wonder when i first played on a PSone I felt so uncomfortable, a if I was holding on to some kind of torture device. I eventually got used to it and dismissed as personal bias, not anymore.
I always loved this control, the D-pad was so smooth to move, it had so great feeling at touch.. I totally agree with Da1shocker, this was one of the best controllers ever made!
The d-pad is basically the same? Bollocks mate. The d-pad is 10x better on the 6-button. It's raised up, has a looser feel and rotational movements are smooth as silk.
One off the best pads ever made IMHO. Luverly! :)
When i was kid i had "Dendy Junior 2" russian unofficial clone of nes, which looked almost exactly like sega mega drive, with 6 button controller (actualy x,y,z was turbo a,b,c), a,b was standart and c was extra button with some additional action which worked not in all games. If you google for dendy 2 pics you'll see it, it was awesome, my favourite console, i made big mistake when sold it.
I loved playing the sega genesis but I had one problem with it which was the button durability of the directional and action buttons on the official controllers were garbage. I cant tell you how many times I switched the button pads around or replaced them entirely and I am careful with my controllers, and for the most part I have never had any durability problems with any other controllers to any other console except the sega genesis, otherwise the genesis is great. Mad catz brand is best
This actually IS the best Controller ever made (imho). I'll NEVER understand why they started to build controllers with 4 thumb- buttons AND shoulder buttons instead. 6+ buttons = ok, 4+ buttons = wtf?!
Go into arcades, and find a machine with 4 buttons in the front and 2 buttons to press with your dick. Worst decision ever made...
The full technical term is Digital Directional Pad, shortened as Digital Pad, Directional Pad, or D-Pad. Meaning it can be referred to as directional or as digital.
@fwe4life Actually, both would be considered correct. Yes it is more commonly known as a directional pad for obvious reasons. But it does work digitally. On or off, 1 or 0 .
The full technical term is Digital Directional Pad, shortened as Digital Pad, Directional Pad, or D-Pad. Meaning it can be referred to as directional or as digital.
What about the mode button? I forgot what game(s) actually used it... if any did. I love this controller. I recently got the InterAct SG Propad 6 with all of the turbo features and button mapping but its nothing close to the comfort and functionality of this.
yup, I totally agree, it really is one of, if not THE best, controller ever made :D
the D-Pad was so good, it spoiled you. Playing on other consoles just wasn't good enough after playing in this control pad :P to this day, in all gamepads I buy, I try to go for the one with the most similar D-Pad to the Sega Genesis 6-button pad ^^
and maybe it's just me, but I've never uncomfortable with the pad on my hands, and it's very light too!
The Genesis 6-button controller had the best D-pad for fighting games until the Saturn and Playstation controllers. At that time it was THE way to play Street Fighter.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lol, Genesis controller...... The N64 controller has the same button stream as this and Nintendo were the first to put shoulder buttons in the first place.
And the reason we don't have 6-button controllers today is because they aren't nescerary, stupid SEGA....!
Actually, the Sega Saturn controller(which is the successor to this one) has been remade officially by Sega for recent consoles like the PS2 for releases like Darkstalkers and Street Fighter compilations and they always sell out at import shops. So, people do still seek out this controller design for their favorite fighting games...and Sega still uses this design..
Oh yeah man. You probably cant see it in the video, but the pad itsel feels a bit rubbery and it is smooth as silk. This thing made playing street fighter on genesis a lot more fun than other systems.
It was only on TurboGrafx16, Which was a very underrated console that didn't sell very well because nobody owned it. But Street Fighter 1/Fighting Street sucked anyways compared to Street Fighter 2.
@SimpleReviewsChannel Well it was on the system that was behind Genesis and SNES,it was the Turbo Grafix 16,Street Fighter was on many Computers and it was originally made as an Arcade game,the TurboGrafix16 version sucked.....wanna here more? Watch the AVGN's review on Street Fighter 2010!
@GamerBoyGod It came out on the TurboGrafx CD as "Fighting Street". The arcade game was not too great (the original machine had very shoddy pressure-sensitive plungers for punch/kick that broke easily).
@SimpleReviewsChannel "Street Fighter 1" was an arcade game that was ported on the comodore, and several home computers, and it was ported on the Turbo-Grafix 16. But unfortunetly, hardley anybody had a Turbo-Grafix 16. Also the game was renamed to "Fighting Street", and it sucks ass.
This was the controller that SEGA thought it was cooler and better to have more buttons but they were proven wrong by the SNES and it was really unesscary to have 6 buttons.
I've never owned a SEGA console in my life but I could sure play Street fighter and Mortal kombat a lot easier on the SNES.
The 6 button controller has been taken out of all designs you see today because of the complexity.
Shoulder buttons do not count as face buttons because they are put on top of the controller in a much more conveinient place where the player can easily reach them.
The standard we see now is 2 analogue sticks, 4 face buttons and 3 or 4 shoulder buttons.
This design was a standard made by Nintendo's Single Analogue stick controller at first, then Sony produced the dualshock to which propted Nintendo to make the GCN controller then Xbox got innovative.
If SEGA had it their way then we would have 6 button controllers instead of taking advantage of a shoulder button/trigger area.
I agree, the 3 Button is one of the best controllers ever made, I like it more than playstation (1,2 and 3) controllers with their stupid "handles" and (on the ps3) those horrid triggers that curve the wrong way!
Some other games probably used it but I know that I played a game with cars racing around a track and shooting each other, from an overhead view. I totally forget the name of it but the mode button did something. Pretty vague but I played it on Sega Channel one time.
The 3 Button D Pad I find to be more responsive. Open up both controls and see how the internal construction is completely different, the 6 button uses a more compact design that just doesn't cut it.
This is the best gamepad EVER. It's so small, light, the buttons are awesome, the D-pad is much better than the regular D-pad. This controller is awesome.
Just got a dozen of these. Had a lot of luck modding the 3 button to USB so thought I'd do the 6...just finished the first one and it's working great on my emulator!
Damn! I remember that controller, I use to play with it all the time back in the days expecially street fighter 2 mainly and what I hate most about the original sega genesis controller is you have to push start button to toggle between hp+hk to lp+lk.
You can't play all regular SEGA games with the 6-button controller. I tried it with Mrs. Pac Man and it has some problem with the D-Pad. That's the only game with problems, though, as far as I know.
I used to have one of those but the controller had purple X Y Z buttons!!! i still play steer fighter 2 but sadly i dont have the six button controller so i have to press start to go from punching to kicking but after a while pressing start becaomes instinctive and no longer really becomes a big deal. Great Review!!!
Actually the controller has a digital directional pad. A digital pad can only tell if one of the directions is pressed or not as opposed to an analog directional pad or analog control stick which is capable of sensing multiple levels of pressure for more precise control. He might have just been pointing out what type of control pad the controller has.

Here is a video about how to fix the buttons on SEGA USB controllers!
(check it on my channel)
Out of the box, the buttons on bootleg controllers are not working properly.
Many people come to conclusion that they are broken and throw them away -
while they could be easily fixed and become just as good as the official ones!

@SimpleReviewsChannel "Street Fighter 1" was an arcade game that was ported on the comodore, and several home computers, and it was ported on the Turbo-Grafix 16. But unfortunetly, hardley anybody had a Turbo-Grafix 16. Also the game was renamed to "Fighting Street", and it sucks ass.

@SimpleReviewsChannel It was an arcade game. Street Fighter 2 and up were the only ones released on consoles.

This was the controller that SEGA thought it was cooler and better to have more buttons but they were proven wrong by the SNES and it was really unesscary to have 6 buttons.
I've never owned a SEGA console in my life but I could sure play Street fighter and Mortal kombat a lot easier on the SNES.

Um... Weak, medium and hard on both kicks and punches needs 6 buttons. More attack choice meant better tactics and therefore led to better players.
Now we have shoulder buttons, clickable analogue stick etc... Care to complain?

The 6 button controller has been taken out of all designs you see today because of the complexity.
Shoulder buttons do not count as face buttons because they are put on top of the controller in a much more conveinient place where the player can easily reach them.
The standard we see now is 2 analogue sticks, 4 face buttons and 3 or 4 shoulder buttons.

6 buttons werent removed it was more to do with snes it just had a better design than the six button controller and its shows
Tomassization 2 years ago
This design was a standard made by Nintendo's Single Analogue stick controller at first, then Sony produced the dualshock to which propted Nintendo to make the GCN controller then Xbox got innovative.
If SEGA had it their way then we would have 6 button controllers instead of taking advantage of a shoulder button/trigger area.

I agree, the 3 Button is one of the best controllers ever made, I like it more than playstation (1,2 and 3) controllers with their stupid "handles" and (on the ps3) those horrid triggers that curve the wrong way!

You didn't mention the mode button tho :( Some games actually did use it
gargos15 2 years ago
What did they use it for? I never had a game that made use of it.
Lordnicon999 2 years ago
Some other games probably used it but I know that I played a game with cars racing around a track and shooting each other, from an overhead view. I totally forget the name of it but the mode button did something. Pretty vague but I played it on Sega Channel one time.
gargos15 2 years ago
It was called Combat Cars. If you get your hands on Combat Cars for the Sega Genesis, make sure to press the mode button on your 6-button controller.

Also, I can't believe you said the D-pad is still the same, the 6 button D-pad is much better than the regular Genesis D-pad.

The 3 Button D Pad I find to be more responsive. Open up both controls and see how the internal construction is completely different, the 6 button uses a more compact design that just doesn't cut it.
MorkaGraven 2 years ago
This is the best gamepad EVER. It's so small, light, the buttons are awesome, the D-pad is much better than the regular D-pad. This controller is awesome.

I think that the Sega Saturn controller is even better, because the shape is more elegant and has nice textures. It also has triggers.

Oldskoolkid2k8 2 years ago
Damn! I remember that controller, I use to play with it all the time back in the days expecially street fighter 2 mainly and what I hate most about the original sega genesis controller is you have to push start button to toggle between hp+hk to lp+lk.
Swift19850 2 years ago
You can't play all regular SEGA games with the 6-button controller. I tried it with Mrs. Pac Man and it has some problem with the D-Pad. That's the only game with problems, though, as far as I know.

My six button controller is even smaller...I think it's called the "Nyko". I didn't realize Sega made their own

I used to have one of those but the controller had purple X Y Z buttons!!! i still play steer fighter 2 but sadly i dont have the six button controller so i have to press start to go from punching to kicking but after a while pressing start becaomes instinctive and no longer really becomes a big deal. Great Review!!!

not digital-pad its DIRECTIONAL-PAD!!!!
AlkaponX57 2 years ago
Actually the controller has a digital directional pad. A digital pad can only tell if one of the directions is pressed or not as opposed to an analog directional pad or analog control stick which is capable of sensing multiple levels of pressure for more precise control. He might have just been pointing out what type of control pad the controller has.
