Wireless Controller for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive

To:  Messiah Entertainment Inc.

It is the goal of this petition to encourage Messiah Entertainment Inc. to complete and produce their Sega Genesis Wireless Controller design. We acknowledge the risk that is involved in developing a new product, but we are confident that there is enough of a demand to make this a profitable venture for Messiah Entertainment Inc.

Messiah Entertainment Inc. has already released wireless NES, SNES, and NES Arcade controllers; all of which are of the highest quality. While we commend the company’s dedication to retro gaming, we think that “retro” extends to consoles outside of the Nintendo family. The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive is one of the most popular consoles in all of gaming, and fans deserve Messiah’s attention.

We would like to see a Wireless 6-Button Genesis Controller released in the near future. We already know that Messiah has completed preliminary designs for such a controller, and are encouraged by their previous success. We believe that a wireless controller with an unblockable RF signal, great battery life, and a sizeable range would be ideal.

The demand for such a product is there. The Genesis originally only saw a few wireless options, none of which could boast the same features Messiah’s controllers can. There is also a precedent of success with retro gaming for the Genesis. Super Fighter Team’s Beggar Prince has seen three limited releases, and has sold through more than a thousand copies.

Producing a Genesis Wireless Controller could only result in a win-win situation. Genesis fans not familiar with Messiah’s previous products would not only receive the controller they’ve always wanted, but would also be introduced to a slew of other quality products. And because Genesis controllers fit into standard DB9 sockets, they could also prove useful for various other retro consoles, like the Atari 2600 and Sega Master System.

A brand new Wireless Genesis Controller makes sense, and Messiah Entertainment Inc. is just the company to do it.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
