Sega Saturn Joypad for PlayStation2

Anyone who has used a DualShock controller for 2D fighting games will know how painful they are to use for extended periods of time, especially when performing combos that require ‘around the clock’ rotation of the D-pad. On the other hand, the Sega Saturn pad is regarded as having one of the most comfortable and responsive D-pads on any controller – and luckily Sega is now making a PlayStation version. Obviously the Sega Saturn Joypad is no good for games that require analog sticks, but for 2D fighters and platform games it is incredibly comfortable to use.

This is an excellent 2D fighter/platform controller for those who prefer a pad to an arcade style joystick. Compatible with PlayStation2, PlayStation and PSone.

The Sega Saturn Joypad comes in black, white, and a special Vampire/Darkstalkers edition (that’s the one in the photo) – available from Play-Asia.com.
