Anyone here purchasing/collecting retro-inspired controllers like the 8bitdo SFC30, M30, FC30, or inexpensive replicas solely for the purpose of reliving the nostalgic experience of playing retro games on their original consoles?
Surely I ain’t alone right? What other controller brands do you guys like or want to share. Feel free to share your favorite controller brands or any recommendations you have 😁
I have accidentally become a collector of USB controllers and USB adaptors. Some games really do play better with their original controller, notably 6-button Mega Drive games and N64. I have plenty of controllers where I own an adaptor but never even owned the original system.
8BitDo are a wonderful addition to this market. High quality repro controllers with modern features at reasonable prices. I’m glad they seem to be doing so well.
I have a drawer with several 8bitdo controllers, including the arcade stick. I love it. I just wish the Genesis controller would be configured more consistently by default in Recallbox. I haven’t spent a huge amount of time with it, but it never feels like it’s mapped correctly.
I don’t use them solely for retro games. The 8bitdo SN30 pro just is a pretty solid controller for the nintendo switch and a good controller on the go with the phone clip.
Agreed, the SN/SFC30 pro are pretty decent to be used for general use. but in my case I don’t know what happened and all of a sudden I also now have a 8Bitdo Pro, Ultimate and Pro 2. Talk about unplanned collection, lmao
