Does the VCS even have a dial controller as an option? Obviously the 2600 original did, but I almost backed the VCS and don't remember anything other than the paddle and a modern style controller as options.

According to promotional material, the 2021 VCS "Classic Controller" has a twistable joystick for paddle controller functionality. "Paddle" is the usual term for the rotary analog controller, which I think is what is meant by "dial controller"
