Looks unattractive. And that last pick reminds me of using Sixaxis with Warhawk.

Interesting....Maybe Sega might come back to the console business afterall.

Just to reiterate, this is very unlikely to be for a new console, and the fact that the patent was just issued means nothing (see my previous post).

I hate Sega controllers as much as I hate the original xbox controller. They aren't meant for sane humans much less our hands.

While its ok to personally dislike a controller...Sega Saturn controller is the best 2D controller you can get. most people think so...

 

Um... I think you're confusing it for the SNES pad  

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

He's not. The Saturn pad is practically perfect.

While Sega starting back with console is probably out of question - I think it wouldn't be too unresonable on their part to start producing gamepads.

a new sega console? i would buy it!!!



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!

bet with *no one yet* that the combined first week of Monster Hunter 3 in america and europe will be 600k or more! winner changes looser sig and avatar for two months!

maybe they are going to release something similar to the c64 joystick that is also a mini console you can play old 64 games with.. maybe they are going to do something similar ..or maybe they are making a new nights :)

as for the design.. YES is does look impractical and ugly but that is sega for you... the dreamcast controller looks impractical and hard to handle aswell so does the saturn pad this thing is based on

but as a human with a average pair of 5 fingered hands i can say that they handle just like any other maybe better

quite a few people play street fighter 4 on the usb remake of the saturn pad

maybe thats what this thing is going to be
