I picked up one of the new Genesis USB pads. I like it so far, but I think I need to get used to the dpad again, since I was actually having trouble pulling off basic moves in SF with it. Doing a dragon punch when facing left is way harder than I remember. I think the Saturn pad would be better, because the size and shape makes it more comfortable, but it has one less face button (the Genesis pad has a mode button under the start button) and I just have more nostalgia for the 16-bit systems. I'm probably going to pick up the 3D Saturn pad when it comes out in the fall.
I thought about getting one there, but the shipping to Canada is almost as much as the controller. I ended up getting one from amazon.ca after the price dropped a bit.
