Saturn Pro controller brings 21st century amenities to the 20th century's best joypad

The always reliable Damien McFerran from Time Extension reports that Retro-Bit is set to release the Saturn Pro controller, a sequel of sorts to the original Sega Saturn joypad. That pad was absolutely fantastic for 2D games of all stripes, and especially versus fighting games, but the Saturn Pro pad adds two (tiny) analog thumbsticks to the bottom of the unit, along with numerous other features players have come to expect from controllers in the 21st century.

The new controller is wireless thanks to an internal battery, works with consoles beyond the Sega Saturn, and has extra buttons for those games which demand it. It remains to be seen how it'll compare to the current king of Saturn controller clones, 8bitdo's M30, but the Saturn Pro joypad is nevertheless a welcome addition to the already crowded third party controller market.
