Numerous excellent games were released for the console, which was supported primarily in the mid-to-late 1990s, including a variety of original Sega classics and several stellar third-party releases. RPG and fighting game fans, in particular, enjoyed a healthy array of options on the platform. The gamepads work with PCs, Macs, Retro-Bit's own Super Retro-Cade, and the upcoming Sega Genesis Mini. By default they work as DirectInput devices, which means you can get them to work with Android devices (with full-size USB ports) and home-built retro game systems that use microcomputers like the Raspberry Pi. This mode has limited use with modern Windows PCs, but you can get some Steam games to work by enabling Generic USB Gamepad Support in Steam. I also had some success playing classic DOS shoot-'em-ups from GOG.com this way. Blagdon, Jeff (April 17, 2013). "Forgotten Sega Pluto console prototype surfaces online (update)". The Verge.

This retro controller can be fully customised, offers button remapping and supports multiple profiles via a supporting app. This is a high-quality modern retro game controller that offers old-fashioned style with modern features. Having a wireless controller is a nice modern convenience, but the best latency and responsiveness are still to be found with wired controllers. Many of the wireless controllers you can buy also let you use a wired connection, but if you're only going to use it in wired mode, why pay for a battery and Bluetooth radio you'll never use?

Both feel faithful to the original design and work great with their respective console's games. I've used the Sega Saturn controller a lot in X-Men vs Street Fighter, and I never feel like I'm at a disadvantage because I'm using the third-party controller. If you're looking for some new Sega pads, these are the ones to go with.

Namco took a significant risk in basing its Tekken coin-op on raw PlayStation hardware, considering that it would be competing directly with Sega's Model 2-powered Virtua Fighter 2... For once, a home system can boast an identical conversion of a cutting-edge coin-op... Namco's research section managing director, Shegeichi Nakamura... explains: "When Sony came along we decided to go for a low-cost system—in short, we've left the big arcade stores to Sega and VF2 and Tekken has been sold to smaller arcade centres"... Namco has a further four titles planned for System 11, all of which are likely to make the jump to the PlayStation.

Using official molds from Sega, the shape and design of the gamepads are 100% accurate. At a glance, these appear no different from the controllers shipped in the '90s. The button spacing is identical, the layouts are the same, and even the d-pads are faithfully recreated. It's an absolute joy to look at if only for its nostalgia-factor. Using them, though, is where the real magic is at. Way ahead of its time, the Dreamcast controller features modern sensibilities in a unique form. Its VMU compatibility led to some truly creative design decisions that managed to streamline game concepts, and it’s generally an incredibly comfortable controller. The Dreamcast died fast, but its controller will live on for the dozens of people still playing their DC. The 8BitDo Pro 2 Controller is a smart modern wireless controller for Xbox consoles and PC that apes the look and feel of smaller retro controllers like the PS2 and SNES gamepads, but with all the pro features of an elite controller.
