The Phase9 controller from Graduate is a third party 6 button controller for the Mega Drive. It’s defining feature is its use of a cross-style directional pad, similar to a NES or SNES controller. In addition to the standard face buttons, a single speed turbo functionality has been added for all buttons. This can be activated with the corresponding face button by using the sliders in the center of the controller. The “auto” selection will activate the turbo functionality without having to press the face buttons. An additional “slow” slider has been added to enable a “slow motion” mode which simply activates the start button repeatedly. The mode button has been duplicated and the 2 shoulder buttons both service the mode button’s functionality.
