Yes, but it was only reliable for hitting diagonals.
I guess that probably helped for Snake Rattle and Roll, and possibly Marble Madness as well.

The genesis was an arcade powerhouse. Arcades used to use the big ass joysticks so it makes sense their d-pad is good for hitting diagonals.
Interestingly, the Dreamcast had a Nintendo-esque d-pad, but didn't break the patent as it worked differently internally.
