Choose the six-button Retro Fighters pad for Dreamcast fighting games

I've spent the first half of 2026 picking out the best retro controllers I own, and the Retro Fighters StrikerDC is a solid Dreamcast contender. The StrikerDC is listed at $64.99 on Amazon, while the D6 fighting-pad version has dropped to $39.95 — not officially a Prime Day deal, but the timing is convenient.

Both controllers solve the long-standing problem of going wireless without losing VMU (Visual Memory Unit) support. Each comes with a docking‑station receiver that links the pad via a 2.4GHz connection, so you get modern convenience while keeping compatibility with Dreamcast accessories.

Which one to pick depends on what you play. If you use the Dreamcast as a Neo Geo AES alternative and plan to run through King of Fighters entries or Capcom fighters like Street Fighter Alpha, Third Strike, or Marvel vs Capcom, the D6’s disc d‑pad and six‑button layout are the better fit.
