After watching numerous online reviews of the new Retro-bit Saturn controllers, I decided to buy one. It is excellent, though not as perfect as some reviewers make it out to be. Pulling off precision moves in Capcom fighting games is slightly more difficult with this controller than with an original model 2 controller. You adjust to it quickly enough, but I would rate the D-pad as an A-, compared to the A+ of the original. Button quality is nearly indistinguishable from the original, minus the click of the shoulder buttons. It is nice having a 10 foot cord though.
Fighting Vipers 2 is a very high quality replica, and a game I've always wanted to play. Unfortunately it was never released in the U.S., so this repro is my first time with it.
