Sega Dreamcast Controller Pad
by cj500 The sega dreamcast controller looked very different to any video game controller that was available back then. Instead of being a long thin type of controller, the dreamcast controller was the exact opposite. But it is to this day one of my favourite controllers it maybe a bit chunky but when your using it, it feels more a ... deluxe controller rather than a massive controller which is hard to grip. The buttons are very well laid out and never get in the way of each other. There are also two triggers at the back of the controller one on the right and one on the left, the rest of the buttons you can see in the picture four regular buttons A,B,X,Y. A thumb analog stick which felt very comfortable rather than the N64's. A directional pad and my favourite button the start button which is the triangle button in the middle of the controller. There is also two spaces to put you visual memory packs into, one space to actually use a visual memory pack and the other space to store a second one to keep them both up together. The sega dreamcast's controller shape is odd but good for grip, it kind of curves round the sides so you can hold it properly at all times. The dreamcast itself may not have been the most popular console, but the controller itself is one of the best controllers avaliable. At all times it is comfortable to play with, the buttons are all laid out well, the grip on it is excellent. Plus the visual memory pack gives the dreamcast controller a bit more character!

Sega Dreamcast Controller Pad
by Dringostarr Lets face it out of all the peripherals ever made the most important is and always will be the controller. The N64 revolutionized the controller market, yes it is old ideas implemented in a different way but it was revolutionary the Rumble pack and Analogue stick idea helped create Sony’s Duel Shock controller. Now a controller is ... important, I feel that they need to evolve from console to console in order to progress the world of gaming. I was a bit disappointed in the PS2 one it felt like I was playing an older system but despite this the new analogue features on the buttons is evidence of gaming progressing. The Gamecube controller is said to be brilliant, many claim it to be too similar to the Duel shock (whilst to me it looks like the Virtual Boy Controller) but it has nice bulky buttons so not to cause havoc, it has gone through many stages of development to make sure it suits all regions. For the small handed Japanese and the large handed Americans and it works beautifully. Then again I would say that I’m a Nintendo fan (although I must say the Duel Shock pad is damn good) but I don’t like big controllers. The X-box I have heard is designed for gaming in the long run and feels a bit odd to play with. Some say (mainly the big handed Americans) that it is great to hold others such as the Japanese and the Europeans claim its very uncomfortable Channel 4 show Thumb Bandits say the controller is a bit “Dodgy”. And this is what I thought of the Dreamcast pad. There have been many opportunities for me to get a Dreamcast but one thing that has always put me off is the bleeding Controller. It’s big its bulky and it hurts and with two VMU’s in its also damn heavy, so when I got my Dreamcast I was apprehensive to say the least to how the system felt. But despite it initial aches I soon got into it and despite the oddly placed Start button I learnt to love it and with the duel trigger buttons I was qui te impressed it had taken many ideas from other controllers and mixed them in and out it comes. I was impressed and even now I think it is a brilliant piece of kit. The Dreamcast controller has four buttons (X, Y, A, B) a Start button a D-pad and an Analogue stick with the R and L buttons being underneath it ala N64 controller. It may feel odd to begin with but it will feel comfortable and it also has two places for the memory card something the N64 never had. So whatever you do don’t let it put you off. Dringo.

Sega Dreamcast Controller Pad
by poisonfish Sega modified their controller from the Nights Sega Saturn controller, mostly successfully. Size: It accomodates small and medium sized hands well. Larger hands may have difficulty reaching under for the trigger buttons and the d-pad at the same time. Layout: The cable comes around the back, which isn't ... handy. It isn't great for the balance of the pad, or the ergonomics. There is a handy clip at the front though. There are two memory card ports, one allowing you to fully use the VMU. One also can be used for another memory, or rumble pack etc. The buttons are top quality, except they are slightly rounded, combined with the sharp d-pad this makes the controller unsuitable for fighting games. The D-pad is responsive apart from this, and better than the Playstation one. Read the complete review |
