About this deal

The Hyperkin Duke Wired Controller replicates the chunky, fat design of the original Xbox console. So if you're replaying some of that games machine's hits, such as Gears Of War, you may want to get the full nostalgia experience with this larger controller. a b Towell, Justin (June 23, 2012). "Super-rare 1990 Sonic The Hedgehog prototype is missing". GamesRadar. Archived from the original on March 24, 2016 . Retrieved March 4, 2014. Yuji Naka: The reason why there wasn't a Sonic game on Saturn was really because we were concentrating on Nights. We were also working on Sonic Adventure—that was originally intended to be out on Saturn, but because Sega as a company was bringing out a new piece of hardware—the Dreamcast—we resorted to switching it over to the Dreamcast, which was the newest hardware at the time. So that's why there wasn't a Sonic game on Saturn. With regards to X-treme, I'm not really sure on the exact details of why it was cut short, but from looking at how it was going, it wasn't looking very good from my perspective. So I felt relief when I heard it was cancelled. a b c d e Dring, Christopher (July 7, 2013). "A Tale of Two E3s – Xbox vs Sony vs Sega". MCVUK.com. Archived from the original on February 22, 2017 .

Retrieved December 24, 2014. Disappointing sales led to a moderately small number of these controllers actually being produced (when viewed in comparison to other systems’ controllers). Due to these small numbers, finding one anywhere other than online can be challenging (as with most Saturn games and accessories). Horsman, Mathew (November 11, 1995).

"Why the Saturn was the worst major console of all time". CNET . Retrieved March 13, 2023. There are so many video game systems to choose from that the "perfect" controller doesn't exist. If you want an authentic retro gaming experience, you'll generally want a controller replicating the feel of playing retro games on the older system.

Shortly before announcing its financial losses, Sega announced that it was discontinuing the Saturn in North America to prepare for the launch of its successor. [101] [105] Only 7 Saturn games were released in North America in 1998 ( Magic Knight Rayearth was the final official release), compared to 119 in 1996. [133] [134] The Saturn would last longer in Japan, [102] with Irimajiri announcing in early 1998 that Sega would continue supporting the Saturn in Japan after its successor was released.
