caption_attribution_description: English: The Sega Saturn 3D controller, that was packed-in with copies of NiGHTS INTO DREAMS.
context_page_description: The following is a list of video game control pads for Sega game consoles. Other peripherals existed for each console, but were secondary to the main control pad.
context_section_description: The original control pad for the Saturn console was visually and functionally similar to the previous generation Genesis, retaining the A-B-C, X-Y-Z button layout, with the addition of two shoulder buttons and the removal of the redundant mode button.
  A 3D control pad was released alongside the game Nights into Dreams in 1996, which included an analog stick (referred to as a 3D Directional Pad) similar to that found on the Nintendo 64 controller which followed, whilst the controller was a rounded design which meant all buttons were accessible from a single held position.
  Like the Genesis 6-button controller, the 3D control pad had some compatibility issues with earlier games and a switch was included below the start button to change between Digital and Analog modes (digital mode being functionally the same as the original controller, while analog enabled support for the analog stick). The original Playstation controller similarly did not include analog sticks, and later revisions which did, such as the Dual Analog Controller, added an Analog button to disable the feature for incompatible games in a similar way to the 3D control pad.
