PlaySega VIP Offers Sonic Level Editor, Sega Saturn-style Joypad
I haven't paid attention to the casual gaming portal since Sega launched it last December, but PlaySega recently added two offerings that caught my attention, the first of which is its Sonic The Hedgehog Level Creator, a good substitute for Project Needlemouse while we wait on more information/media on that.
The level editor allows paid VIP members to create and share 2D Sonic the Hedgehog stages. You won't need a subscription to play user-created levels in your browser, however, and you can do so without having to download any programs or plug-ins.
If you do decide to grab a VIP membership so you can access the level creator and the site's 40+ VIP browser-ported games (Comix Zone, Shining Force, etc.), make sure to grab the PlaySega Joypad, a limited edition white controller white modeled after the Japanese Sega Saturn pad. The PC controller is available for free if you sign up for a 3+ months subscription, and will begin shipping October 19th.

I just signed up after reading this article, and I'm afraid to say that your saying you don't need a subscription to play user-created levels is inaccurate. All of the Sonic games require a VIP account.

No, Cliff. It's true. You must be doing it wrong.

Yeah, I'm not sure if you're approaching it differently, but I had no trouble playing user-created levels without a VIP or free account.

What I want to know is if the controller is basically the Sega Saturn USB pad that they brought out some time ago or if it's a new pad altogether.
