Yep. It doesn't have NFC, HD Rumble (but has normal rumble), and can't turn the system on, but otherwise works natively.Wait.
WAIT!
Can this be used as an alternative to the Switch Pro controller?
Just watched this.
Do any of the SNES-style 8bitdo controllers for Switch have a Capture button built in? I want to be able to take screenshots and videos with it as I play.
Wish they had iOS/AppleTV support tho...you can use them on virtually everything, including the actual retro consoles. I use mine on a real sega genesis.
retrobit is awesome, too. I can't wait for that wireless Dreamcast controller.
I'd agree if the d-pads were decent. That's all I want here.My personal hot take: playing retro games with their native controlers (or facsimiles like the 8BitDo stuff) is HIGHLY overrated. I'll take the ergonomics and configurability of my Xbox Elite controller (which works amazing for 2D and 3D control alike) over something more "authentic" any day of the week. I give credit to those early controller designs where it is due for their innovations to the form, but they've been surpassed in every single way possible by modern controllers.
How are the ridges on the d-pad on the gameboy one? I love the aesthetic of that controller, but I feel like they could be annoying if they're too pronounced. Can't decide between that and the SNES one.I've been using the SN30 Pro+ for about a week now (the grey gameboy coloured one) and it's got a really nice D-pad which is a joy after using the reg pro controller for so long.
Only complaints are that the rumble feels super weak almost to the point that I forget it even has it at times and I also wish it could power on the console from sleep. Otherwise it's super solid and looks great.

Edit: Also their Genesis controller is the only 6-button one that'll work with the Genesis/Mega Drive mini in the west
How's the compatibility for something like the SN30 pro+ on windows? Does it get picked up by steam/most modern games? I was thinking of buying a dualshock 4 to be my new controller on PC, i don't own a PS4 so it would be just for that purpose. Am wondering if the SN30 might be a better option.
I own their NES and SNES controllers, and bought their Bluetooth adapters for my original NES and SNES. They work incredibly well, without any noticeable lag. The "Y" button on my SNES controller is a little bit sticky, but it hasn't affected my playthroughs so far.
Or is the market for mfi controllers way bigger than i thought?
I hear this every time a new 8bitdo comes out and I'm skeptical.Spawnwave did a tear down of the latest the Pro+, which just came out in August, and the d-pad's sensors are basically a copy of SNES ones. It's no longer mediocre, it's a legit great d-pad. The grips make the controller super comfortable (basically fat GameCube grips) and it has software where you can change button inputs (including analog sticks and trigger sensitivity). There's a reason this latest controller is getting a lot attention.
I don't see how anyone can say this. The NES30 and SN30 dpad are both terrible about false positive inputs on diagonals. Try some Contra and switching between ducking and diagonal-down shooting. It is like fucking impossible. Performance on other games varies widely depending on how much a stray down-diag or up-diag will affect the game, but it matters.I have the same ones and I play my classic consoles x10 more because no more stupid cords. Zero input lag and the dpads are PERFECT.

And "zero input lag" is sheer nonsense. All BT implementations have lag. Even raw 2.4ghz (without the protocol weaknesses of BT) has *some* lag.
SN30 Pro+ is my new favorite controller, only behind the Xbone Elite. It's miles ahead of PS4 and Switch Pro controllers.
I am in the US and bought mine from Amazon. It's a wonderful controller. Highly recommendedMay I ask where you think bought your pro + from? I can import it from amazon.com or aliexpress for a bit less but would rather find it locally.
They make excellent quality retro-inspired and sometimes clone controllers. The M30 (genesis 6 button controller with shoulder buttons) is my go-to for any 2D sidescrolling or otherwise type of game. Huge fan of their products.
I got it from Amazon.ca, they've had it a couple times for $68.99May I ask where you think bought your pro + from? I can import it from amazon.com or aliexpress for a bit less but would rather find it locally.
their sega genesis wireless controller is legitimately my favorite sega genesis controller now, even over sega's official controllers. it feels perfect in my hands.

It'll come back! Jump on it though, it really is an excellent controller
I grew up on NES and Contra is my favourite NES game. You can be sure that I've played many many hours of contra. :) Works perfectly fine with the NES30, even switching between the two, wired originals and the NES30.
I am extremely sensitive to input lag and the very FIRST game I tested with the SN30 was Street Fighter 2 Turbo, seeing if I could do a dragon punch. Absolutely perfect. I loved it so much I bought the NES30.
I obviously can't speak to your specific set up, but perhaps you have some wireless interference around there?
As for the diagonals, I will admit I bought the first generation SN30 years ago went it first came out and took it back after only a day as the diagonals were clearly defective. The one I bought this year has been nothing short of perfection.
I am now waiting for the SN30 Pro + to get back in stock to pick one of those up.
I hear this every time a new 8bitdo comes out and I'm skeptical.
Looking at the video, the PCB looks like the same flawed design with simple circles as my NES30 and my SN30. NOT like the SNES dpad.
I've been disappointed by both of my 8bitdos. Modding the dpad with non-conductive tape got it a lot better, but not perfect.
