Sega Saturn Analog Controller -- Why does the cord detach?

[nildem]

I've always wondered this. What kind of plans did Sega have for this thing? Surely they didn't do it just for the hell of it.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

I think they just did that for storing purposes. You know because it's hard to wrap the cord around that monster on a controller.

[Richter]

they had plans for a wireless adaptor for the controller
