Retro-bit Bringing Back Original Sega Controllers
Retro-bit Bringing Back Original Sega Controllers
Retro-bit is known for bringing back old-school gaming with its own twist, but this year the company partnered with Sega to give us modern versions of controllers from the past. Wireless models of the Sega Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast controllers that are compatible with the original consoles were on display at the Consumer Electronics Show this year. And while price, release date, and exact specs have yet to be determined, we got a closer look at them.

The Bluetooth wireless Sega Genesis controller still has the six face buttons and eight-way directional pad. These are compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, and a separate dongle will let you use them with the old consoles.

There will also be a wired USB version, and although it wasn't on display out of the box, we got to see it at CES.

When it comes to Saturn controllers, the Bluetooth wireless model stole the show. It's compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. A separate Bluetooth receiver makes it possible to use this controller on the original Sega Saturn.

Last but not least, Retro-bit gave the modern treatment to Sega Dreamcast controllers. Wired USB and Bluetooth wireless versions will be available with the original white color scheme, while the black version appears to only be for the original console. A Bluetooth adapter will also make the wireless version compatible with the Dreamcast.
