Is The Nintendo Switch SNES Controller Worth Buying? 

My son : (laughing) No...it's for protection, dummy.

Captain Future nice, let me just take a look whoever asked

This is the most aussie comment mate!!!

Agreed

Ben Kizer Most of the games still look pretty good too especially compared to PlayStation 1 and N64 games

True, by the snes era 2d games were being perfected and the pixel art was pretty gorgeous

Nintendo switch is now God 🙂🛐

technology has come so far. humanity has mastered the snes controller

Yeah, I'm really happy Nintendo poked their head out of their asses for a second and decided to take some of the money we've been offering them all these years. I guess it took other companies making money off the SNES design for Nintendo to want it. That's Nintendo for you.

@@supernes64eaa86 Oh really? The Nintendo Switched has created the earth, humanity and all of life? Good to now.

@@jimmyjones6086 To be fair, he didn't say which of the gods, just one of them.

The white buttons and analog sticks really makes it look good. I don't need one but damn I want one lol

It’s not grey!

Hahahaha

I wouldn't doubt it. I just saw a bunch of Labo kits for like $15 at my local Wal-Mart. That's not a good sign. It was only the first two Labo kits, plus the VR Starter Kit, but still, it's clear that Wal-Mart wants these things gone. Having said that, I still have a soft spot for Labo. It's overpriced and gimmicky, but still an interesting concept. The software just doesn't do as much as it should have. (The composition tools for the piano were insanely underwhelming.) I went ahead and picked up the VR Starter Kit, just because Nintendo keeps adding support for it into various games. And I would say that I got at least $15 worth of entertainment out of it so far, so I'm happy with the purchase.

I laughed so hard after that sentence. Classic!!!!

Shots fired!

I saw then on sale not long ago

they're planning to re release them early next year according to their site

@@KrystaKream thanks! Nintendo should have learned sooner. I ended up getting a SNES style 8bitdo controller instead. Got tired of waiting.

8bitdo is best

They're back again

They are available to purchase now, I was able to buy 2 yesterday

He should try the 8BitDo SN30 Pro, same form factor as the original but with all the new inputs.

Zelda II ⁉️⁉️⁉️

Ret Zy but does it have 3 d-pads? I think not

Ret Zy but does it have 4 d-pads? I think not

Ret Zy but does it have 5 d-pads? I think not

But does it have 6 d-pads? I think not

But does it have 7 d-pads? I think not

My brothers have a pro controller but instead I use my sn30pro. It's dpad is so good and it's sticks are great too

Thanks timestamp person, you're the real MVP

Thx you're a life saver

Not all heros wear capes👏👏🦸

Thank you so much.👆👆👆👆👏👏👏👏and what this guy said.

Do u really a reviewer to tell u that? What do u think?

The analogs have some deadzones and they do have QC issues sometimes. But yeah, 8bitdo controllers are some of the best on the market right now.

You can start the game thanks to the zr zl buttons but you cant make anything

But what about Mario Kartart 8 Deluxe or the original Super Mario Bros that they remade for the Nintendo Switch Wich is a game from the Nintendo Eshop

This controller is also PERFECT for Mario Maker 2... Perfect for playing levels in Mario Maker 2, not so much for the "maker" part

obviously @JayStapes meant for playing; you should be using a stylus for making.

your mom

What method is that?

@@sonic2batt 8bitdo usb.

Lolcat Mayflash magic-ns

Agreed. You can at least use the 8bitdo for switch games if you need an extra controller. It works well for smash bros and Mario cart. The Nintendo online model is quite limited now that I have both. Sn30 pro all the way

Some people want to actually feel like they’re holding an snes controller, that’s the whole point of this…

@@Chilltown95 thank you lol. im getting this just to play Yoshi's island.. like when i was a kid.

This is the comment that I was looking for! So, it just gets recognized as a normal HID device and reports its buttons?

They are only $40 AUD here and since I ordered 2 it was free shipping. Nintendo Canada ripping consumers off?

@@ic_trab everything in Canada is a ripoff. Ask me how I know 😭

@@ic_trab I wish the UK had free shipping. They charged me £8.70 for shipping. I wonder where they're despatching it from, Germany maybe?

ICannt Trab It’s to cover the cost of importation from the US. Products like this in Canada almost always arrive through the US, and depending on what our government decides to tax the fuck out of while our dollar is worth nothing compared to USD, we’ll have ridiculous costs on American products. In Australia, I’m pretty sure you guys are getting shipments directly from China, or wherever these are being manufactured. It’s the only explanation considering AUD and CAD have pretty similar value.

@@DS9TREK i know that i'm probably late but it can't be germany because i live in Germany and had to pay 15€ shipping

Flossy

Never thought I’d see a Flossy Carter reference one a Spawn Wave comment section!

Mmm MMMMMM! Smells like Nintendo. This controller is a major major major go.

@@hrespin7682 same here lol caught me off guard a bit

Would love to see a Flossy Carter and Spawn Wave collaboration..that would be something!

Update the firmware of the controller

Perfectly similar? Dude it has joysticks 😂 wtf

Basically. And then Sony copied that same design (minus the d-pad) and here we are today.

Until Nintendo ruined it again with the d-pad on the pro controller

Nintendo did the d pad, the 4 button face, l/r, z button trigger, 3d joy stick on controller, rumble, and first first party wireless controller on NES(was shit) first good one on GameCube, motion/gyroscope & touch. Every time Nintendo made a controller innovation Sony & Microsoft copied them later that generation or the next. Sony is still using the same controller & form as PS1/PS2 & Microsoft is still using the same controller since they got in with Xbox & revised the duke controller & changed form on 360. Without Nintendo we would still be using Atari shit controllers. Sony & MS have added NOTHING to controllers. Nintendo does something new every generation. That's why I buy Nintendo consoles only, and the rest I use a PC. PlayStation & Xbox are just shitty x86 architecture PCs. They don't try anything new. Want to see Sony trying to be original? Search PlayStation 3 Boomerang(or Banana) Controller. They intended to release a controller shaped like a boomerang, and were laughed at so hard they went back to PS2 controller, but added Nintendo's wireless tech. PS5 & Next Xbox expect HD rumble knock off, and keep the touch they stole from WiiU/DS/3DS they have now but still be the exactly the same. Buy a PC they last 10 years if you build right. After 10 years add a new stick or 2 of ram, and buy another GPU, and 5-8 years.. You can attach your Switch/PS/Xbox controller to it through Bluetooth & Wired. Use Steam and you have your library forever. Hell Windows 10 now has xboxs game pass subscription if you want that, and you don't have to pay for expensive Xbox live or PlayStation online service for $50 or w/e a year IT'S FREE

Ironically, I’ve always hated it.

mushy If you you really think Nintendo practically created the modern controller and PS4 and Xbox are rip offs then I have news for you.

It works with them

Perhaps. My L button is also louder

The wii remote has also the same indication lights

@MasterEpicGamer he says it as if nintendo was piggybacking off of 8bitdo when it’s obviously not the case, hence Fox LeFox pointing it out

My sn30 pro was having d-pad input errors (up registering as left or right sometimes) but I upgraded to the pro+ and haven't had an issue.

Don't trust SN30 Pro Dpad

The dpad on the SN30 is rubbish. It’s overly clicky with ghost diagonals.

After 8bitdo SN30 Pro I'm not buying any controller without testing it in person, average RU-vidrs and reviewers know nothing about little important details such as input lag and fidelity on inputs.

Plus it has analogs

Stop

They wont use variation if they even do N64. Nintendo could earn a lot more money selling this accesories but the seem to underestimate the market.

I would't get an original N64 controller EVER. If they ever do I hope they make their counterpart of the N64 Brawler.

You saw the future. Although no color variations.

Lol

It's been a couple of years, mind giving an update whether this does actually work on linux?

X2 is it compatible with linux this days? I haven't seen too much info abou it

A 'short' review, he talks for the first two minutes about god know what nonsense. I had to skip around to get to actual review. Fuck his reviews, he needs to work on them. Shut the fuck up, and just review the thing!

MezzoForte4 He is just very thorough, everything he gets is bought with his OWN money. He’s not a sponsored sellout and payed or gets things for free and isn’t expected to speak positively about a product because he is trying to keep getting free stuff for reviews like other gaming/tech channels out there.

@@blinkz64 I've mostly tested it with Shovel Knight on Steam and Mega Man X4 through ePSXe. Both worked perfectly from what I saw, no latency or performance issues that I noticed. The only minor annoyance is the constantly flashing sync lights.

Cetega i know the switch pro controller also does this when you use it as a general Bluetooth controller

@@blinkz64 It does not, as far as I can tell. My PC didn't recognize it at all when plugged in directly.

@@Cetega The lights won't stop flashing on mine either. Did you ever find a solution for this?

@@winterreiley3502 I did not, I haven't really used it with my PC after trying it out to see how it worked there.

How is it compact when it's basicly the same shape and from of a snes controller

It’s compact they both are. I didn’t say it was more compact than the snes controller. It’s more compact than your current gen controllers (Xbox one, pro controller) with the same features and functionality.

You were hoping to Smash with it? There are arcade sticks with that Analog stick to dpad feature if you're interested.

Dpad on the pro plus is still wonky for me

@@Blittsplitt5 You should exchange yours if you can. I've got hours on lumines and Puyo puyo tetris with my pro+ and so far no wrong inputs.

I ordered this to have a better controller for Celeste persoaly. I ordered 3 extras for this reason-- when these inevitably go out of production I don't want to be paying 200 dollars for one

@@braidena1633 Yeah, that was my same line of thought. Went ahead and bought two. Maybe more later.

@@sammyshehole i do a lot of just in case buying. Still have an unopened snes mini. But my soul is happy knowing when I want to play it I'll have it
