Got this in the mail today. Will be spending some time with it and I'll post a review on Saturday. I will be playing:
Daytona USA (as its most lauded feature is the steering wheel around the d-pad)
NiGHTS
Guardian Heroes
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Hyper Duel
Radiant Silvergun
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei

as well as a couple of extra games as I see fit to test out the functionality of it. :)

OK, the TRUE God of Saturn controllers is this:

Bomberman controller. Probably the most comfortable controller ever made IMO.

[shinjirod]

ru blind john? bombermans on it!

[DarthArcturus]

:rofl: I see him now

[Hunter]

lol, I didn't see it either at first.

[SNKJorge]

Yeah, the BomberMan controller is really cool.

Quick comments:
Pros:
Fully customizable steering mode (for racing games) for the control that YOU program.
3 programmable buttons.
Screen for displaying menus, what buttons you are pressing, battery life, and probably a few more things I haven't seen yet.
Assignable auto-fire.
Lots and lots of options.
"Steering wheel" like control around the d-pad works fairly well.

The d-pad does not have enough precision for 2D shooters. Its kinda wonky really.
The triggers aren't very accessible.

I need to get a new battery in it before I can really review it. But so far it seems that, for racing games at least, it'll work VERY well. 2D fighters would probably work cool with the programmable buttons (though that is cheap, I know). Hell, 3D games might even work well with it, I just have to explore its functions with them.

2D shooters don't though.

YEah i've seen those controllers before very nice.

[Outlawd19]

i should buy a saturn. give me something else to play with.

That's a cool controller, but it's a good thing you were able to correct yourself in time about the bm controller or you just might have been assasinated by bombermen in your sleep.


I'm serious. It's not a game. :SM8

Edit:
This is sad. When I bought that Bomberman multiplayer pack it came with two controllers OUTSIDE of the box, so I assumed it had come with them taped to it or something in stores. So tonight was my first time opening the package, and inside I found two MORE Bomberman controllers. :SM14

So now I have like, 10 Bomberman controllers. Sestren party at my place! We'll play 10 player Saturn Bomberman and all of us can use a Bomberman controller for it! :SM14

[SuperYen]

how romantic. <3

[jp]

JP: will you marry me? :O

plz?



Hells yeah!


Though we have to dance to "Dreams Dreams" and Claris + Elliot have to be on the cake thingy, those are my only stipulations.

[Hunter]

:boogeysonic:

No need to go lookin up ugly images, our Icons cover everything! Here's a ring!

[jp]

Hunter has everything covered.


Except a heart face and a wink that M2D finds appropriate.

I will go search for these things.

[DarthArcturus]

:ewewew: I got this covered

[SuperYen]

Okay, deal. but we have to go to japan on our honeymoon so we can go to the sega theme park. I just recently heard about it, and I'd really like to go. That would officially make us the coolest kids ever. I'll bet you've already been there though. I've seen pictures... mostly of the sideways ride. I wonder if they have sega toys there like in shenmue?

or maybe we can make things more simple and just go to outer space instead. =) my rainicorn knows the way. ;)

[jp]

I was wanting to go to Japan for my honeymoon anyway! :SM14 Wanted to hit up ole' Akihabara and gab with some of these sellers than keep suckin' up my funds! :O

And no, I've never been to Joypolis or Japan (Sega's theme parks, I think there's three or four). But I would totally like to! Ghost Hunter and VR-1 Space Mission sound awesome!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joypolis

So yes, now we just need to set a date. :p

[jp]

If we go to outer space I want to go to the Andromeda galaxy since they're going to collide with us in a bajillion years. Just wanna say "Whats up?" ahead of time ya know?

Oh, and they're called Andromeda, so maybe we shall find some Solo Wing dragons flying about. DUDE! We could bring one home as a pet! And name it Lagi! :O

[SuperYen]

lol, nice allusion. you are a clever one.

I think that's an excellent idea. plus we would be helping the environment by not polluting the air, and i think it would also be much safer. . . unless we get attacked by ancient creatures..... but lets not be ridiculous now how likely is that to happen? :D

June 30th is a good day I think. That way it won't interfere with school. :kekeke:

[jp]

June 30th eh? Hmmm... alrighty, that works for me.


And if we do get attacked by ancient monsters I can totally bring my Heaven's Punishment along. :D

[SuperYen]

Good call. alls a girl really wants in a man is a little security. =)

But mr_chun missed out last night, so we missed him. :SM9

[SuperYen]

Oh, i was just talking about me spamming the boards. =)
