Sega Saturn: Virtua Gun Controller Black

The Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 is Sega's official light gun for the Sega Saturn and was specially developed for action-packed shooters such as Virtua Cop or The House of the Dead. With its striking black design and eye-catching yellow accents - for example on the trigger and the start button - the Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 looks sporty, modern and instantly recognizable. The white "Sega Saturn" lettering on the side rounds off the design of the Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 in style.

The Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 was introduced in Japan in 1996 as the successor to the original black light gun version (HSS-0122). The Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 offers a robust design, comfortable handling and is precisely matched to the feel of the Saturn shooters. The Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 sits comfortably in the hand and provides a precise and fast playing experience - exactly what you would expect from an arcade-inspired light gun.

Technically, the Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 works like many light guns of its time: It reacts to the light changes of a classic CRT television (CRT screen) and can only be used with such devices. Unfortunately, the Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 cannot be used on modern LCD or OLED televisions. So if you are looking for an authentic lightgun experience, you should have an old TV ready.

The Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 was released in different color variants in different regions - such as blue in Europe or orange in North America - but the black Japanese version with the yellow details is considered by many collectors to be particularly stylish and true to the original.

Weighing around 400 grams, the Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 is pleasantly heavy to hold and provides a high-quality gaming experience. It measures around 23 × 13 × 8 cm, which comes close to a realistic pistol shape and contributes to immersion in the arcade atmosphere.

The Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 is not just a technical accessory, but a piece of video game history. For fans of classic lightgun games, the Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 offers an authentic arcade experience - provided you still own a tube TV. Its unique design, good ergonomics and precise controls make the Sega Saturn Virtua Gun HSS-0152 a must-have for retro gamers and collectors alike.
