The SEGA Dreamcast controller was the default controller that was bundled with the ill-fated SEGA Dreamcast. It featured a single analog stick, a 3D adapted D-Pad, a start button, four face buttons, and most notably invented analog triggers. As an attempt to advertise it being a "Next-Gen console", SEGA created two docking bay slots. They are primarily used for the Visual Memory Unit, though many add-ons utilize the jump packs.
Reception[]
The Dreamcast controller received mixed reception. Some thought it was a great controller, for it's imaginative build, tough enduring materials, and innovative interface (Mostly the VMU's) However, some thought the controller was oversized. Others said the face buttons were too small.
Trivia[]
- As the standard start-up launch Dreamcast packs did not come with VMUs, the Dreamcast could not save games on launch.
- In Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, AGES can transform into a Dreamcast controller as their boat form. This is probably a joke to one critic's description of the Dreamcast's shape ".... A speed boat....."
