Controller suggestions?

ubernerdlucas · 08-20-2012, 02:17 PM

Hello all!

I recently picked up some of the Sega Genesis Classics Collections, and am loving them so much. However, I now feel a need for a pair of controllers to truly replicate the feeling of old school gaming. Anyone have suggestions for USB controllers? I've seen several versions of the SNES controllers, I'm just not sure which ones are any good. Thanks in advance!

Well I don't know about sega but you can get a wireless receiver and use an Xbox 360 controller for a lot of games. Not sure if it would work for sega games though.

The 360's d-pad is absolutely terrible for old school games to be honest. I actually use one of my old PS2 pads and an adapter I bought on Amazon for a couple of bucks, works a charm for old school games like that.

An Xbox 360 controller will work fine or a ps2 one.
