Retro-Bit has once again delayed the release of their Sega Saturn 2.4GHz wireless controllers. This is the second time the controllers have been delayed, as they were first announced with a November 2018 release date, then would release in summer 2019 and now a card on their E3 booth is claiming a “September 2019” launch – Almost a year late.
I really hope the delays are centered around performance and attempting to achieve the same quality and low-latency as the Joyzz Genesis controller. Their other “new”, officially licenced by Sega wired controllers are simply re-brands of existing controllers and are hit-or-miss for quality; If the delays are aiming to correct this issue, I’m happy to wait.
