Retro-Bit^® is thrilled to announce that now currently available is the SEGA^® 6-Button Arcade Pad – USB^®, an authentic new controller designed exclusively for play with the SEGA Genesis^® Mini and SEGA^® Mega Drive Mini consoles. Priced at $19.99 MSRP (€19.99 in Europe) and available in both Black and Clear Blue, the SEGA 6-Button Arcade Pad offers the familiar look and feel of SEGA‘s classic 6-button controller first introduced in 1993.

The SEGA 6-Button Arcade Pad – USB is the newest creation to come from the Retro-Bit and SEGAcollaboration. Since the announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2018, Retro-Bit has seen success in their partnership with SEGA to bring to market a line of high-quality & original grade controllers, with many more anticipated in their pipeline. Critics and fans have fallen in love with the SEGA 6-Button Arcade Pad, with Destructoid calling it a “Flawless facsimile of the original design, down to each and every important detail.” “Utterly, utterly superb,” raves NintendoLife, while Tom’s Guide is “Shocked at how first-rate the build quality is.”

These will definitely enhance gameplay for any gamer that knows and loves these timeless classics,” said Richard Igros, Marketing Manager at Innex, Inc.
