“The Sega Saturn pad, reborn as a handheld. Six face buttons, a floating D-pad and a crisp 4:3 screen, made for arcade fighters and 16-bit classics.”
Feels like the pad
you grew up with.
If you spent the 90s on a Saturn, the ARC-S feels instantly familiar. The floating D-pad, six round face buttons and curved grips are modelled on Sega’s classic controller, and it sits comfortably in your hands for long sessions.
Six buttons change how fighting games play. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom get the full punch-and-kick layout they had in the arcade, with no reaching for the shoulder buttons.
Add our ready-to-play games card and it’s turn on and play. Prefer the big screen? Plug it into your TV with a Mini HDMI cable.
Made for 4:3.
4″ IPS Screen.
Retro games were made for 4:3 screens, and so is this one. Arcade, 16-bit and PlayStation games fill the 4″ 640×480 IPS panel edge to edge, with no black bars or stretching. The laminated glass sits right on the panel, so colours stay bright and sharp from any angle.
Six buttons.
Saturn Layout.
Six face buttons, laid out like the Saturn pad. Light, medium and heavy punches and kicks sit right under your thumb, just as they did in the arcade. The floating D-pad rolls smoothly through quarter-circles and special moves. It’s built for D-pad games, so there are no analogue sticks, and spare buttons can be mapped to shortcuts like save and load.
Can play up to N64.
Built for arcade fighters.
As a guide, the RG ARC-S Sega-style is capable of playing the consoles and games listed below. Which consoles and games are included can vary with each setup and games card.
