Mmmmmmmm, sorta. Dream Casts were win no arguments, just Sega sucked at the time & it died.

It sucked for storage, but if you wanted to 100% everything you needed one so you could unlock stuff with the games you could play on it.

However I do have the same complaint as I would throw at the N64 controller - people forgot about right handed players. Quake 3 on Dream Cast was technically great, but the controls blew. Seriously, aiming with your left hand was shit & the UK got a bum deal on the DC keyboard & mouse. Granted on N64 you could swap the controls so you use your right hand to aim, but you then lost out on the additional buttons that were on the other side of the controller.

IMO Sony were the 1st people to get analogue console controllers right... Well the layout at least, the convex sticks are horrid for thumb slippage.

Regardless, none come close to the idea of a fucking touch screen parked in the middle of one. Note that it's a screen - not just a touch pad, so that implies it's going to display some form of control layout. That'll be great to try & hit the correct place each time without having to look at it constantly. |: Maybe they haven't realised that with phones you're actually looking at what you have to touch the whole time?
