Kickstarter for a Next Gen DC Pad

[sfchakan]

Retro Fighters launched a kickstarter for a new DC pad and it's already fully funded. Campaign looks alright to me.

Looks a little more comfortable grip-wise, but the d-pad looks too low and the analog stick too high. Hopefully the d-pad doesn't stick up out of the controller like a skyscraper like on the official controller. If I played Dreamcast more often, I'd probably be interested, since the official DC controller is easily one of my most hated controllers.

The dreamcast controller isn't my favorite but I don't see the point of this, it's design might be slightly more comfortable but it's the exact same design with a turbo button and extra triggers for whatever reason

I actually found the dreamcast controller way easier to get use to than the n64 or gamecube controllers, I managed the beat the great giana sisters remake with it, which isn't a hard game but requires a lot of precision jumping

Great, now that there's a decent controller available for the Dreamcast there just needs to be some actual good games made to play on it.

The Dreamcast already had the best controller ever made: the ASCii Stick FT.
Zero Gunner 2, Gunbird 2, Radirgy, Border Down, Rez, Under Defeat, Gunspike, etc
There is no better system or controller than the Dreamcast paired with the ASCii Stick FT.

So the best Dreamcast stuff was mostly just sold in Japan. And is all Shmups or arcade ports. Usually both. With most of these being also available on other platforms too.

I'm ok with Shmups but I mostly prefer the ones on the Turbografx and Genesis, and I have to be in the mood for them. Of the ones you listed only Border Down and Gunspike/Cannon Spike are still Dreamcast exclusives, and only Cannon Spike was released in North America. And both are arcade ports.

I tend to view the Dreamcast as someone who lives in North America. There's not much on it worth playing that's easily obtainable. The best game I'm aware of is Elemental Gimmick Gear and it's still somewhat flawed.
