Retro Fighters Is Resurrecting Dreamcast's Best Fighting Game Controller

I want!! Definitely will be watching out for this one. Perhaps a review upcoming as well?

Looks a lot like a Saturn controller. I definitely approve of that. In fact, the best controller I ever used on a Dreamcast was a Saturn controller, thanks to an adapter.

Who is this for?
It'll probably have input lag and most enthusiasts have either a Saturn adapter or a wingman SD

@PopetheRev28
Its for people like me who like playing fighting games and beat em ups on different platforms without wires.

@845H Horribly because of the input lag

@sdelfin It's based off an ASCII Controller. they were very uncomfortable and broke easily.

@PopetheRev28 it’s 2.4ghz, not Bluetooth. There shouldn’t be much latency.

If you take 8bitdo, their 2.4ghz is 3ms and BT is 20-25.

To out this into wider context, BT headphones or wireless systems are unusable for live music playing or recording but 2.4ghz has been a safe option for decades.

If 2.4g works without lag in massive stadiums it’ll be fine for your video game inputs.

I hope it also works with PS1 with a bluetooth adapter.

Dude, if you're still bitchin' bout lag via 2.4ghz then enjoy playing on your heavy, oversized CRT for the limited time you have left with wired controllers/arcade sticks.

I'm old enough to have played SF2 on the arcades, Tekken in tournys, Quake via PC Lan and other twitch based games yet lag talk is so frickin boring. How about you dont worry about how other people play.

@PopetheRev28 There are many myths about lag. As others have said, this is not Bluetooth, so unless they screwed up their hardware, it should be essentially lag free. To put it in perspective, I tested out my two oldest Bluetooth controllers which are about a decade old on Android tablets(which are also claimed to add lag) with various cores on Retroarch. Straight to the point, the Bluetooth controllers had no additional lag compared to USB on the tablets or compared to PC USB. Things have only gotten better for controllers since then and the wireless hardware in these things is likely way faster than the Dreamcast processes inputs. If it somehow has measurable lag, they would just be a failure of implementation.
