Mega Drive Control Pad
For your Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis) controller review, there are two main types of original pads to consider: the classic 3-button controller and the later 6-button arcade pad. The ideal choice depends on your gaming habits and preference for modern features like wireless connectivity and extended compatibility. Licensed remakes from
are also highly regarded and offer modern upgrades.
Original 3-button controller
This is the controller originally included with the Mega Drive/Genesis.
- Best for: Simpler games from the system’s early library, like Sonic the Hedgehog.
- Pros:
- Feel: Many retro gamers find the large, rectangular design comfortable and ergonomic for long play sessions.
- Durability: The original official controllers are well-built and sturdy.
- D-Pad: Some users prefer the feel of the 3-button’s D-pad, finding it less sensitive and prone to unwanted diagonal inputs than the 6-button version.
- Cons:
- Button count: Only three face buttons means it is not ideal for games that require more, especially fighting games like Street Fighter II and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, where you will be missing special attacks or other functions.
