Hands down the best SNES controller ever made.

That d-pad is a touch-pad. Best d-pad ever made imo.
After I got this thing, my thumb never got sore once.

I have one of these and hate it. It does exactly what it says it's supposed to do, but in practice that means it's basically like trying to play one of those emulators for phones that use a crappy on-screen virtual d-pad with zero feedback. Since you have to physically move your thumb all over the place instead of just leaving it in the center of d-pad, it's ends up being way more strain too so it's basically pointless.

I kept it around for one very specific purpose: controlling the second player in Kirby Super Star with my feet while I simultaneously controlled Kirby with a regular controller.

I just use a long HDMI cable and set up the system on a table behind my couch, so the standard controller cord length isn't an issue.

I have 2 turbo SNES controllers.

This has a slow button on the back but it's just turbo-start. L and R turbo switches are on the top. It's a drat fine controller. But I rarely need turbo.


This one is CRAZY wide. I never use it because I need individual turbo the few times I use it.

I also have this wireless classic controller. That i bought for like :10bux: to use for SNES games on the NES Classic.

On hakchi the big L and R buttons do nothing, and the smaller inside ones work as L and R. I took everything that used more than Dpad + 4 buttons off my NES Classic so here's hoping the buttons work proper with the SNES classic. It'll probably end up player 2 either way if I can get ahold of one of those Hori pads.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Just checked the inventory of all the local Targets near me and most have 40-60 units each. The NES classic by comparison had 8-12, and that was at the bigger stores during particularly "generous" shipments. This should be so much smoother.

Yeah Modus I'm with you.

I just purchased one because I want a wireless controller and I see people losing their poo poo over them. I'd assume they feel pretty comfy? Never had a six button controller like that back in the day.

It's designed for fighting games like Street Fighter 2. Not sure if it'd be useful for other genres.

Purchased one for my Switch, just going with the standard SFC30 for the SNES CE though since I won't need the second triggers or the analog sticks. Already use a standard SFC30 with my Retron5 and they are nice.

Yeah, my Walmart order is still set for 10/6. The GameStop order is set for 9/29, but I haven't gotten any updates and I haven't been charged yet. So I have no idea if it'll actually happen. If it does, my coworker has already said she wants it and will just pay me back.

Which wireless controller is best for this thing? I ordered that fight pad but if something out there is probably better then I'm cool with cancelling and finding something else.

Anything with a "Wii Classic Controller" dongle will work, although the Hori pad is hands-down the cheapest of these with the right number of buttons. Alternatively there's the 8bitdo pads but those are proper Bluetooth controllers and carry a higher price (the dongle you'd need is sold separately from the pad itself, too).

No one has used the Hori pad, but they are known for quality stuff (try finding their GC or N64 controllers these days for cheap). 8bitdo is proven, but we don't know how the NES CE dongle will work with the SNES CE yet (and when I emailed 8bitdo a month or so ago, they didn't either, though they will probably release a firmware update to make it work).

Extension cables for the stock controllers are probably the most reliable at this point until others are tested.

Also depends on what you like in a controller, some people like different button feel than others, especially with the d-pad.

I called GameStop to check on expedited shipping and was told both of my orders are backordered. According to them, that's normal and they should still ship out by this Friday.

I did notice mine went back to "arriving by Tue., Oct 10th" on their tracking page, but I'm hoping that's meaningless.

Maybe you're closer to a distribution center so they're waiting a little to ship yours?

Uber, or drop her off at the vet, go get the SNES CE and then pick her up

If it was anyone other than Gamestop I would say just wait, but they are not trustworthy with holding on to pre-orders.

I don't live in a city, so there is no Uber in rurual New Hampshire.

As for a bike, again I don't live in a city, and I'm not riding my bike an hour+ down the highway to work.

We are looking into buying a truck, but the last truck we bought we paid 3k to a private party and had to immediately turn around and offload it for little more than scrap as it had huge rust issues that we didn't know about. >_> A cool $2200 tossed in a fire.
