I'm coming from a slightly different angle as all my old stuff is back home, so I'm pretty much only emu and whatever used games I find here. Having said that, the pack in pads are awesome. Pretty much a SNES controller without the little divot at the bottom. I don't feel any real need to play on the original controllers in this case. I've been using them for Famicom/NES, Snes, TG-16 and they've worked great. Unfortunately I don't know any Sega stuff, so I haven't tried the controller on them at all.
Care to suggest any good Sega games that aren't too similar to NES stuff?
@FER9IE sorry, I thought I replied, but it seems it didn't go through. It's definitely selectable for English, Japanese, or Chinese. Region is selectable, but the default is Auto Select, so no problems. You need a NES to Famicom adapter (ebay) for US games. It plays roms from the SD card too. Pretty amazing system. There's even (unofficial) custom firmware you can find online to play roms from other systems. I haven't tried that yet.
I just picked one up. I love it. I have emus on desktops and my iPad and whatever. But it was sheer pleasure being able to grab an old Famicom cart for $1 and plug it in and play.
Speaking of looks- I got the Amazon Japan special color version... Famicom colors. (I'd post a pic if I knew how)

I'm really happy with the Retro Freak. I can see this hardware type for people who don't own the originals.

@Moshugan My system came with an adapter, and you can buy more if you really want them.
