Sega Mega Drive Official Control Pad

Product Information

Its not the best, but its certainly not in AT Games / SEGA Smash Pack / Sonic DS collection territory. This retro compendium features more than 50 different titles from the Mega Drive's illustrious library, a total which ensures there really is something for everyone here. Sega Mega Drive controllers definitely contain active chips and using an MD pad on an Amiga may be dangerous. Enjoy access to a growing library of classic SEGA Mega Drive games anytime, anywhere, right on your Nintendo Switch. In a way not only is this a late release but an inferior package and a reason why Sega sometimes make boneheaded decision just for the money and not for the quality.

A CRT-style scanline effect is something we'd normally die for, but its application here doesn't quite look right. It’s perfect for glitch-free gameplay of all the best Sega Mega Drive games as well as the best Master System games and a whole host of other Sega consoles. In another neat touch, the time of day changes depending on your local time, so in the morning the sun will peep through the window (and move through the sky in real time) while at night, darkness descends. Seb Santabarbara has bought every Nintendo console that has ever been released in his 33 years on Planet Earth.Everything looks great on the Switch's screen, but things are just as sharp on your TV when playing in docked mode. But its sucha disappointment that after all this time we still cant have third party games like Disney’s Aladdin released. As I've been debating with some fellows in the forum, there are two missing games in Switch version (and still keeps delivering on "more than 50 games"), which are Wonder Boy in Monster World and Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair, compared to the same release on Xbox One and PS4. It was not a good game (at least on the MD/Genesis), and it would have made more sense to replace it with Eternal Champions. Stuff like unlockable hidden arcade version, behind the sscene movies, hidden trailers, development story behind the games, etc.

The Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis, if you're in North America) is a console that needs no introduction, even on a site devoted to Nintendo. Using a Sega Master System dumb two-button joypad on the Amiga may work - I believe they're simply UDLR and Buttons 1+2 as N. Can you use individual joycons as full controllers in local multiplayer sessions, as with other Switch games? Dont worry if you’re just after solid gameplay; Gens is newbie friendly too and boasts menus that are easy to navigate. They could have replaced those two with any Thunder Force game (since they own the IP now), and Eternal Champions, at least.

With the YM2612 at it's helm, Sega's 16-bit era is home to some of the most iconic music in video game history. The snk collection is great and this looks even better but man I would love to see others jump on board. There are some differences in game performance and presentation as compared to the original versions of these games.

gimmi_c I cant speak for the Switch port, but I have the PS4 version and the criticism of the emulation problems was somewhat overplayed, in my opinion. Ensure that the system is not placed behind a TV, under a metal object or within about a metre of other wireless devices, such as wireless speakers, cordless phones, etc.Even the official site has the PS4 and XBONE lists without those games, but the disc actually included them. This collection is worst than the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection and that one too is already disappointed with no lock-on feature for the Sonic games.

Sega have confirmed to us that they are not included, even as unlockable extras, and hasn't been able to offer an explanation as to why they have been taken out.If the funds have not yet been merged, you will have the option to do so during the purchase process. We're dedicated to preserving this piece of video game history and Hardcore is included digitally on each Mega Sg system. BlueOcean Whenever I hear anything about Sonic 3 ports and SEGA the story always go along the lines of Michael Jackson's estate not allowing it or demanding crazy royalties. The Switch version missing the 2 Wonder Boy games is also another failed on Sega's part considering the other two platforms got those in the collection making the Switch version having only 51 games instead of the full 53.
