The dad who was Sega in a street full of Nintendo kids and has never once conceded the argument

What it is

New aftermarket six-button control pad for Sega Mega Drive and Genesis, backward compatible with 2 and 3 button games and region-free across PAL, North American and Japanese consoles.

Why we picked it

Six buttons rather than three is the Street Fighter II layout, and the flat splay of a Mega Drive pad is pure muscle memory for anyone who was in the Sega camp rather than the Nintendo one. Under twenty dollars with plenty in stock makes it the lowest-risk retro buy on this list.
