Retro-Bit’s new line of fully licensed SEGA controllers for consoles and PCs have been given a formal release date of November 2018. The controllers will be featured at Gamescom 2018, specifically at Game Outlet Booth #A041 in Hall 04.2 of the Koelnmesse Convention Center from the 21st to the 25th of August 2018. Below is the full list of controllers that Retro-Bit are planning to showcase for launch in November:
- Genesis Wired 6-Button Original Port Controller (Black, Clear Blue)
- Genesis Wired 8-Button USB® Port Controller (Black, Clear Blue)
- Genesis Bluetooth® Controller (Black)
- Genesis Bluetooth® Receiver
- Megadrive Wired 6-Button Original Port Controller (Black, Clear Blue)
- Megadrive Wired 8-Button USB® Port Controller (Black, Clear Blue)
- Megadrive Bluetooth® Controller (Black)
- Megadrive Bluetooth® Receiver
- Saturn Wired Original Port Controller (Black, Slate Grey)
- Saturn Wired USB® Port Controller (Black, Slate Grey)
- Saturn Bluetooth® Controller (Black)
- Saturn Bluetooth® Receiver
As you can see, the previously announced Dreamcast controllers are no longer listed, even after previously being showcased at CES 2018. Could the Dreamcast controllers be coming later? Retro-Bit’s press release does mention that the controllers listed above are a part of the “first line” of controllers, so it could be the case that the Dreamcast controllers come in the second line.
