Was the Sega Saturn really that amazing that it's worth getting even now, or was that just some old embellishment?
If it was, how can I tell if it is the original or "good" version? Is the box different?
Like with any other console, it's only worth getting if there's games on it that you want to play.
The reason it became so precious to modern collectors is because it was a relatively obscure console in the west that many people missed back in the day, which actually got good support in Japan, it's the PC Engine of the 5th gen.

I forgot to specify, I was talking about the controller
I often hear how it's one of the best
>>2807092
Oh, yeah definitely, I can confirm that.
I think it's my favorite controller period. The size, the shape, the d-pad (best thing on it), the buttons, the shoulder buttons... it's perfect.
The model 2 or the japanese one is the way to go, the model 1 american/european model is different.
>>2807095
Can you help me identify which one this could be?
>>2807101
that looks like a non-official 3rd party controller... I'd say go for an official one like the one in your OP pic.
>>2807112
I see, thanks, you helped a lot!
It'd be way better if they added a tiny bit of weight to the controller so you don't feel like you're going to crush it every time you press a button.
Something about it where you can feel how hollow it is.

i dont want to make a new thread so im gonna post it here, any advice for best experience when it comes to graphic options?
>>2807126
And those shoulder buttons that feel like they're just going to fall off or something!
I mean it sits in your hands great, plays great, but yeah that controller just feels anything but solid.
>>2807081
I have a gray/blue and white one. Are they japanese or American controllers?
>>2807184
As far as I know the American ones are all black regardless of what version.
>>2807168
Yeah that's my problem. It feels so featherweight and kind of cheap.
It's still one of my favorite controllers ever. If it didn't feel flimsy (even though it's not) it could easily be my favorite of all time.

Grey ones are Japanese model 1 pads.
White ones are Japanese model 2 pads.
Black ones are US/EU model 2 pads.
There are also other variants - transparent Cool pad (for Skeleton units), JVC pads (V-Saturns), Hitachi pads (Hi-Saturns). They are all the same other than the colour and logo, though.

Hey guys where can i get a original or 3rd party USB compatible Saturn (or Saturn like) controller ?
>>2807212
Oops, I didn't know that, thanks for clarifying.
I'd still advice OP to go for the regular model 2 pads.
>>2807205
>>2807168
I don't mind the light weight, in fact I like it. But yeah they do seem like they're fragile especially the ABC buttons, they're a bit loose after you've played for a while, but it's just the impression you get, the performance is still excellent.
I love the clicky shoulder buttons, they seem firm enough to me.

1 "Like" for you my friend

The official saturn usb pads go for $100+ on ebay. Your best bet is a saturn to usb adapter, I think mayflash makes one that most people speak well of.

>i dont want to make a new thread[instead of finding the one it actually belongs in]
As expected from someone unwilling to bother with proper capitialization
