Mega Drive Mini

Pathetically I’m almost tempted to buy a UK one to get the three button pads, I hate the six button ones with my Japanese one.

I prefer the 3-button pad and it's what I remember with my original MD. It's been wonderful holding it again. Also appear as '3B Controller' in Windows 10 so perfectly usable on that and probably Linux/RetroPie etc. too.

Crazy thing about it all? It was possible to buy the 3-button pad for the MD Mini standalone in Japan (I do believe that [MENTION=2732]J0e Musashi[/MENTION] did exactly that) but they don't appear to be getting made anymore as far as I can see. Weird.

Really? The mini I have was Daryl's. He could've told me!

So I’ve searched everywhere I can think of for a Japanese three button mini pad, nothing. All I could actually find is a pre order listing on Nin-Nin. Did they actually ever go ahead and make them? Has anyone seen one for sale anywhere?

Here's the listing on Sega's online store. Seems it was a Sega Store exclusive:

I can't find any used ones for sale on Yahoo Auctions, Amazon JP or places like that.

It wasn't a Sega store exclusive.

Nin-Nin were selling it, as I posted.

Oh well, this is going to be like the old days with me obsessively hunting for one.

It even had me poking around online at work... and I don’t even own an MD Mini

Being a limited-run Sega Store exclusive, it’ll probably be ridiculously expensive if you manage to find one!

[Colin]

From all the hunting I've done I'm not even convinced it was ever released.

I found an old auction for one which went for Y10,000:

Crikey!

But........BUT......... I NEED ONE! My immersion back to my youth is not satisfied with my current use of a six button pad! (Which I ****ing hate!)

That is expensive though.

Just out of interest what games on the MD Mini recognise or utilise the 6-button controller (apologies if this is already covered in the thread).

Eternal Champions and Street Fighter 2 CE; is there anything else?

I think Hard Corps does.

Cool, thank you.
