The Sega Genesis & Mega Drive gets new games almost monthly, but every now and then we also get hardware. In this week's show we are going to take a look at a brand new controller, the Big6 from retro-bit. They have taken the classic style of the old 3-button controller and brought in the functionality of the newer 6-button controller. We are going to take a deep dive into the hardware and software compatibility.

@NeonPizza80s 3 месяца назад

The 1989 launch genesis 3-button controller with the red accented D-pad Arrows & A, B & C buttons is such an awesome fun iconic looking controller. The more comfortable larger batarang form factor in the hands give it the edge over the 6 Button too imo. But the D-pad & 3 buttons just don't feel as snappy or intuitive to use. Then again, maybe the silicone membrane replacement buttons that i ordered aren't up to snuff compared to the quality of what Console5 is selling. Nobody else that i know of selling them, so getting the proper feel of it's D-pad and buttons isn't happening unless you're maybe buying one sealed in a box.

I ordered two wireless versions, but returned them due to them not working correctly on Hakchi-hacked mini. The 8 button wireless pads Retro-Bit put out earlier worked perfectly, but due to bad part availability they stopped making them. Managed to source two 'version 1' wireless 8-button pads from an independent shop that still had a couple. Very glad I found those still.

@RetroGamerBoy 5 месяцев назад

Interesting, I've not had any issues with them. I have had to return an 8bitdo controller because the battery died on the second week of using it. They were very good at sending a replacement though.

@dionvandenberg 5 месяцев назад

@@RetroGamerBoy I thought about those as well, but I liked the concept of modern, officially licensed Sega controllers, so I went with Retro-bit. I now have four of the wireless 2.4 gHz 'old' Retro-bit 8 button variants and they're alle pretty much okay. One had a bit of a waek tolerance on the shell around the right shoulder button, so had to trim that a bit, but now everything's honky-dory. Did you have issues with the Big6 and the mega drive mini? Ik read somewhere that they won't work well with a hacked mini, but do work well on a vanilla mini.

I grew up playing fight games on the genesis and playing Street Fighter 6 with this controller is heaven! it's a bit difficult to play MK1 because of the ex-moves but no joke they did a top-notch job on these best fighting game d pad on the market no contest.

@RetroGamerBoy 10 месяцев назад

I started with three buttons back in the day with SF2. After 2 days of that rubbish I went out and bought a 6 button pad.

@ArtofZenDigital Год назад

This was in depth and superb from a presentation standpoint to a reviewing standpoint. The original Sega pad did feel pretty rigid. The 6 button pad was an important release for Sega players, but, growing up, my hands simply had trouble with the smaller form factor of the original 6 button pad. It was better than the original 3 button pad in every way except size. The Saturn pad, to this day, even with my oversized hands, is the best retro pad for me. Playing 2D fighters on the rolling D-pad feels perfect. Everything feels just right, which is something that was hard to say about the original Sega Genesis pad. This Big 6 pad seems like it’s in a good place, and it looks like it’s bigger than the Saturn S Pad, but with its improved D pad. It’s strange that the wired pad is missing L and R shoulder buttons, which limits it from being used with certain games. It’s also nice to see that the wireless pad comes with a Genesis wireless receiver, as well as a USB receiver.

@RetroGamerBoy Год назад

I don't think there were any official games released on the MD/Genesis that used L&R. The original 6 button pad only had the mode button on the right shoulder.

@NeonPizza80s 2 месяца назад

Just got mine today and it's a bit of a let down, mainly because of the awkward placement and indented Start button. Every time i go to press it just feels weird and the middle of my thumb ends up rubbing against the top face buttons. They Should of placed it in the middle of the controller just like the 6 button. Stupid decision on their end, but I guess they wanted to stay more faihful to the original design. Plus, the D-pad isn't quite as reliable as the 6-button's either. Yup. RB's 6 button pad is still the definitive genesis controller imo. There's nothing really to improve on other than it's boring nearly all black aesthetic. I'd still rather use the Big6 over the original 1989 red accented 3 button genesis controller just because it's D-pad feels too hard and ridged. 2nd 3-button(White accents) variant that released in 91 was it? improved the D-pad a little, but it's still not as good as the Big6's. I hear the 3rd 3 button that launched in 1993 has a d-pad that's closer to the 6 button pad, so that's probably the one you want to check out. But even then, you can't get quality '3-button' console5-tier silicone button membrane replacements to make the buttons feel brand new again. As is, the A, B & C buttons will feel a bit sloppy Vs the snapper more tactile premium face buttons of both the 6 button and big 6.

@ChicagoRetroGamer Год назад

I always loved the 6 button Genesis controller, because it was so great for arcade style beat 'em ups and fighting games. Two of my favorite kinds of Genesis games. Cool video!

@BlueHedgehog12345678 Год назад

This is what the 6-button Mega Drive controller should look like in the first place, not like a small boomerang. This new controller from Retro-bit Big6 is a copy of the very rare Majesco MK-1470 that came with the Super Mega Drive 3 by Tec Toy in the late 1990s. (A very limited release in Brazil and North America). Regarding this new Big6 controller..., it bothers me that the START button is right above the x-y-z button so that I don't accidentally press it when playing Street Fighter 2 or similar games. They should have left the start button as in the MK-1470 model. I love the fact that it works with the PS3. This gamepad from Retro-bit is my next purchase :-) P.S. I would like that companies like Retro-bit or 8bitdo make a wireless gamepad for the original Xbox.

This is a much better dpad! I liked the 3 button controller but the dpad is probably the most painful one ever made - it had really sharp edges. Will probably look into one (already have 2x retrobit USB 8-button). Wierd they placed the Start button like this, hopefully it is indented enough not to be pressed by accident.

@RetroGamerBoy 2 месяца назад

The start button has the opposite problem. It's a little hard to press the button. I end up looking down at the pad to see where to press.

@NeonPizza80s 3 месяца назад

I wish Retrobit or 8bitdo would just create a 2.4G wireless Genesis controller that nearly replicates the original look of the 1989 Red accented 3-Button genesis controller, but possibly a bit smaller, with smaller buttons(similar to the 6 button's A, B, C 'and' it's D-pad). Instead we keep getting these bland looking black & Grey weirder knock offs that lack character. I'd have to try this one for myself, but so far they've done and incredible job replicating the 6 button genesis controller. Feels premium and super snappy!

The only I don't use it is when Power Stick is needed or if there are compatibility issue. Then tend to be with all the new indie releases. Although the Big6 seems to have fixed these.

I'm not sure it is. I've just opened it up and taken a picture of it. It's up on my community page. It looks like a similar design to the MK1 pad released in the 90s. Of course we then had a revision on the OG3 which added that odd disc on the back.

I've got the Pro pad 2s and they are great. The lack of plastic regulations in the 80s and 90s meant we got stuff that will still be here when the earth ends.😂

Can you use the L and R buttons on genesis games?

@RetroGamerBoy Год назад

Nope. There were no games designed for them. This is for use with more modern consoles.

@ExtremeBogom Год назад

Is there a version of this with "Mega Drive" on the front instead?

@freddiejohnson6137 Год назад

Not really a fan of the original 3 button controller design over the 6 button one. There is also a reason the start button was moved to the centre because it looks way too cramped. It actually reminds me of those cheap turbo controllers from back in the day that added an extra 3 buttons but even they had the sense to move the start button placement. The L and R buttons on the wireless controller also look unusable for extended play. I'll stick with my 8bitdo M30.

@RetroGamerBoy Год назад

I've had so many issues with my M30s, I'm on the 4th one. Two were wireless controller failures, and one the d-pad broke. But it helps that there is plenty of choice out there for us, I'm more than happy for these companies to make more stuff for us. We can then choose what suits us.👍

@freddiejohnson6137 Год назад

@@RetroGamerBoy really? I have two and have never had a single issue with either. You are right it's good for choice though.

Does the wireless one work properly with sonic 3D this time? Cuz their wireless 6 button didn't without an undate. Mike I found another Mega Drive shooter for you to try called Whip Rush check it out 👍

@RetroGamerBoy Год назад

The wired one works fine. You can hold down spin and move Sonic around without it releasing the spin. And I've also tested the Big6 wireless and that works as well. Happy days.

@RetroGamerBoy 5 месяцев назад

@dmace81 5 месяцев назад

@@RetroGamerBoyI still bought one. However they could of put the grey start button on it above the buttons. They still had room if they moved the Sega Genesis logo or made it smaller. Pretty sure most people care about the same button placement and not so much about the logo.

Сейчас использую контроллер М30 от 8bitDo, в принципе очень удобный контроллер, но для меня слегка маловат.

Sega never had a 6 button controller in the original form factor, but if you can find a picture I will stand corrected. There were a few 3rd party controllers like the tecniche and the competition pro.

@RetroGamerBoy Год назад

You didn't sound rude😁👍 the MK-1470 was not an official Sega pad. It's was built by Tec Toy and distributed by them and Majesco. They licenced the Sega brand and distributed consoles, games, and peripherals. I guess you can say it's second party rather than 3rd party, the same as the Big6. The Big6 is not a first party Sega pad it's second party. But very cool to see it again. I had completely forgot about it. Thanks.

I guess it depends on what their licence with Sega allows the to do. Sega will have sign off and they may have wanted a controller that conformed to the classic design.

they did worst thing - they made much more distances between the buttons, which is so unconvenient. 3-button controller dont have this huge spaces between buttons, I dont understand why its so hard just to make it as it was in original but just adding more buttons, thats all((( but no( they made a mess again((
