Sega To Release Mac [and PC] Compatible Saturn Game Pad (In Japan)

Inside Mac Games: "Sega is planning on releasing its classic Saturn console game pad for the PC and Macintosh in Japan at the end of this month. The USB device was originally creatied as an exclusive bonus to the Macintosh edition of Puyo Pop Fever, which was released on June 24th. But due to heavy demand, Sega has decided to sell the controller separately for the PC and Mac. Unlike the game pad included with Puyo Pop Fever, which was colored like the original Saturn device, the new game pad will match the white found on Macintosh products such as the iBook. The Sega Saturn USB game pad will be available in Japanese stores on July 23rd. Sega Direct is currently taking pre-orders for the game pad. There's no word yet on a U.S. release."

I would buy this in a heartbeat if I could. Back in my Amiga days, I used to purchase Sega Master System (SMS) game pads, which were pin compatible with the Atari-style joystick ports on that system.
