Classic Game Room - SEGA GENESIS 6-BUTTON CONTROLLER review

Classic Game Room HD reviews the 6-button controller for the Sega Genesis video game console. Do you have an awesome Megadrive? The MD came standard with a Genny 3 button controller, but some games like Capcom's Street Fighter 2 just played their best with six buttons. So Sega released the 6-button controller that works with your Mega Drive and Sega CD video game consoles! Use three buttons, use six, swing it around or wear it like a medallion. Sega is where it's at. Now that we're all anticipating the new Capcom masterpiece 2d fighting game, Street Fighter IV, we can play Streetfighter II on our Genesis with this handy controller. Other fighting games like Mortal Kombat and maybe even Pit Fighter can benefit too. This controller also works for games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic and Knuckles and the sports titles. Word up Sega! You can even use this controller for Silpheed on SegaCD and Sewer Shark! Does not work on the Wii, PS3 or 360.

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.

Love hurts I guess..?

@InecomCompany -

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.

Don't use a Sega controller with Atari or Commodore, it will fry it over time!

@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.

[krzysg1982]

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.

@Shatham3 i agree

@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.

Whenever I play Street Fighter 2 with a Genesis controller the D-Pad hurts my thumb and gives me blisters..
