- The SNES Controller for Nintendo Switch finally arrived at my house, so I decided to unbox it and play around with this new Switch controller. We compare it size wise, and put it through some paces with SNES games for Switch Online, and even find a cool little easter egg!

Did you end up snagging one of these controllers? Lemme know!
I tried but it sold out too fast. I have the two NES switch controllers that Nintendo released for online members and those never sold out and are still in stock.. I'm sure they'll become available again soon.. gonna just keep regularly checking the Nintendo website.
Got mine in the mail today
My dad left
Nope..because the uk/eu snes controller STILL hasnt been released in our area.
RGT 85 yes I got 2 and I button swapped one of them with a Japanese controller color buttons. Had to mod them a bit but they look awesome.
5:38 if you don’t want to wait.
Thank you
Oh dear god thank you
I immediately scrolled so I didn’t have to hear his annoying voice any longer
You are a living God.
Thank you sir
Oh my God! No Stevie Richards!
Nooooo, I honestly loved seeing the intro though.
Thx god
And no Mitch the houseplant :/
Carlos Rosas Noooo, I also love that as well.
good
You need to get rid of the menu commands at the bottom of the screen when you're playing SNES and NES games. When you launch the app, go to the side menu, hit options, and then toggle off the commands. It cleans up the screen.
Transfiguration really? I honestly never knew that I have to try that cus it’s so ugly
@@switchmaster5860 , it's just the menu commands at the bottom. You're still stuck with the weird border.
Transfiguration yea that part I’m fine with I just hate the control thing always being there! Thanks man
Cool story bro
Switch Master You couldn't have particularly known it. It wasn't added until the last update and the SNES app came with it by default.
4:55 you don’t need to take the Switch out of the dock or use another controller. The ZR button acts as the home button and the ZL button acts as the capture button.
I plan to get one of the 8bitdo hybrid controllers.
I got one of those cuz and they are great
It’s the best you can do! I have mine’s like one year ago and it the best decision I’ve made. Don’t worry about the things about “originals” controllers
@@javiercifuentes3824
Yeah, while these controllers look nice I'd rather have something I can use for more games.
good on you. it's the controller I use the most. if only smash could use the d-pad I'd use all the time
I use the the 8Bitdo Gbros. wireless adapter with the NES and the SNES classic mini controllers and they work great! There's no point in getting the Nintendo Online controllers.
I think the feel of the sand paper feel is because they are literally brand new.
The SNES controllers we have for the actual SNES console have been used by us as kids with cheeto greasy hands so that grit has been worn down do basically the controller being smooth now.
Same with the L and R trigger buttons they felt different cuzz they have not got that played in feeling of years of using them like we did in the 90s of playing our SNES almost on a daily basis. ;)
I have also done my un-boxing and review over on my Random PinballReviewer.
Rgt85 seems like the kind of guy who would use a mad cats controller while a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
Using an NES controller when opening the NES games app also added a bonus sound effect.
Yeah, when RGT said he didn't buy the NES controllers, I was like, "No kidding!" Hahahaha!
Play gta with these remote
SNES controllers have been losing grip for over 25 years you would have to time travel to compare how much grip each one has.
William Moore Yeah, people don't stop and think about that enough.
Same with the idjits who claimed C3 Joycon that came with the recent OG Mariko upgrade were better than their launch C0 ones. In reality, their C0 just had 3 years of usage and felt exactly the same out of the box. I'd know considering I have two sets of launch ones and also bought some C3 earlier this year when my main ones started drifting the bed.
My secondary launch ones haven't particularly been used (and will likely see even less use now that the Lite is out since that's to be my main from now on) and feel exactly like the C3.
8th video in and i cant remember what hat shawn was wearing when he said "Oh my god its stevie richards"
The Myles' High Club is done with the intros or is he forgetting lol?
A beanie.
Why cant we see Stevie Richards in the intro any more
Super Nintendo purists will absolutely appreciate the gritty texture, since it’s on the originals too. A few years back I snagged a couple of extra official controllers for my SNES, and they were exactly like the Switch ones. A lot of people are just used to the texture having been worn down.
Star Fox is on the switch. Play Star Link for the Switch. It is the best SF game I've ever played. XD
Right i absolutely love that game it is starfox straight up and the best ever in my opinion😁
i hope they get restocked
i really want one rn
"I have to take this boss!" I wish those words were effective to be absent from school or the job.
As I was scrolling past videos, I thought you were holding up an Etch-a-Sketch at first glance 😂😂😂
A switch on its kickstand with no joy cons and just this SNES controller is a minimalist’s dream.
U have it backwards, you 100% don't need this Ctrl cuz the button layout is identical to a pro Ctrl, u NEED the NES Ctrl because the A and B buttons are not in the proper position on a pro Ctrl for comfortable nes play
Ross Robertson nailed it bro
Start and Select are in a strange place on the Pro controller though, and it's bigger and doesn't fit into a pouch or pocket as easily as the SNES controller.
@@HarmonicWave ya the start and select buttons are in bad spots if u need to use them alot
@@RandomizationShow I'll probably still buy the SNES Ctrl if I can, but its not needed like the NES Ctrls
With the pro controller or the joycons for the NES games use A and X, instead of A and B. That way its the correct slanted angle and you can hold run and then jump in mario games like you're meant to. It's not as good as just being able to remap the buttons to B and Y, and it's dumb they don't let you remap them, but this is infinitely better than trying to play nes games with the wrong-angled A and B buttons
Nice. Just don’t put it “in a box somewhere”
I think that's what he is going to do soon, the controller is good, but there are better controllers on the market
@@blinkz64 true. I didn't find it horrible, but it wasn't good
Dude same! I have been playing Starfox and beat it on easy and hard! It was lovely! And I really like Starfox Zero. The retelling of the 64story was lovely. And the control changes were very nice! It just sucked that there wasn't a dog fight multiplayer and instead we got Starfox Guard......wtf lol That is an app game right there!
I say they should bring it to the switch with controller options and the multiplayer from Starfox 64 3D. Kills me inside that they had all the ingredients they needed for a successful starfox. Real shame! Great video as always bro!
The Super NES Online has been awesome. I forget just how high quality the Super Nintendo was. I will always hold a special place in my heart for the NES and the importance of it to the video game industry in general, but the Super NES was just that much better. It hasn't aged at all.
Oh mah gawd it’s steeviiiie richaardzzzz
Not any more its not
I get the feeling that Nintendo deliberately made the Pro controller's d-pad to be crap just to sell these other controllers for better options.
That's Cute
It's sound effects from Super Mario World on the menu and a grey menu bar. That's the easter egg.
Thanks
All the time I put into playing Killer Instinct
can't believe you would recommend this over 8bitdo controllers when they completely smoke it. More compability, analog sticks, better grips on the SN30Pro*, etc
I was born in 85’ so I didn’t really mess with NES. My first system was snes and those controllers are still my favorite for any classic game play. I remember the slight flex to the controller and the feel of the concave buttons. Reminded me of sweet tarts....just always thought that. Is the controller thickness any different? That’s my only question really.
You have to admit that comparing a official SNES gamepad remake to a knock off was a bit silly.
Ordered mine snes wireless… can’t wait for it!
It wasnt easy but I managed to order mine, within a couple of days of launch. I am excited for them to come in. Thanks for the review.
I'll get two when they get the damn things back in stock.
I'd love a star fox game but now with starlink I'd like something on the lines of that but actually star fox.
that lighting tho
1:10
That's..... um.... How do I say it.... A RED box.
I might be a minority but my first Star Fox game was Star Fox Adventures and I still think it is an awesome game. My second Star Fox game, and first traditional Star Fox game, was Star Fox Zero and it still is an awesome game. To each their own. :)
just buy the 8bitdo SN30 Pro controller loll
Well, this is "officially from Nintendo" :)
@@oasisbeyond of course!,. but its limited in the games you can use it on,.
Or if you have the NES and the SNES classic mini controllers you can use the 8Bitdo Gbros. wireless adapter with them.
Timothy Vreeland if you press Select+Start at the same time on the SN30 you can access both the menu and the rewind feature, not sure if it works on SNES mini controllers though
0:29 you don’t really "need" this SNES controller either. The button layout is pretty much the same as a Pro Controller. Controller necessity doesn’t really come into play until they start adding N64 games, because the button layout is dramatically different on it.
There is also a similar Easter egg on the NES Nintendo Switch Online app. The bar on the left turns gray and the sound effects are different when you connect the NES Switch Online controllers (the ones with the joycon railings on the top of you are wondering).
I actually didnt mind the dual box in came shipped in. Extra protection never hurt anyone.
I think you can combine start with a shoulder button to go to the home screen.
Alright that little Easter egg just justified me spending 30+ bucks on this controller. LMFAO
You're gonna wait a while
Cool, I may buy it.
Sold out bruh
I loved Star Fox Zero. So fun with a friend.
I actually just bought the NES ones. Waiting for them in the mail. I'm really late to the switch online party but I'm excited for them. I'll probably buy one or two of the SNES when they're back in stock as well.
Can this be connected to a SNES Mini..?
I use a SNES Classic controller with the 8bitdo's GBros adapter (it's usually $15). The actual adapter has a home and screenshot button, so the only thing it doesn't have it's the pair of Z buttons.
Me when I play starfox 64:I love this game the tutorial:DO A BARELL ROLL
No Stevie Richards, I no LIKE!!
Great, now I'm going to want one for the sound effects alone 😅.
great info.. my friend
i cant believe people dont think its a dealbreaker for not being able to have a home button.
Top buttons are zl and zr buttons for suspend menu and the bottom button is the sync button.
Great vid RGT. The SNES Controller is looking really good :-D. I didn't manage too get one, so i will have too wait :-(.
The easter Egg happens when you open the NES Oline with the NES Controller as well. Kinda forgot that was a thing so i didn't think to check if it was the same for SNES online.
Definitely planning on buying one.
While this controller looks cool and well made i bought the 8bitdo SN30 pro to play SNES games and other games on my Switch. 8bitdo makes some very good quality controllers.
This Easter egg is actually the same than with the NES games and controller - just with NES sounds;)
The ebay fleecing on these continues.
I just noticed the red bar today for the first time. I don’t have the SNES controller yet.
I already modded my SNES Classic controllers using the 8bitdo mods so I am good.
Same... also able to use on pc for snes emulator
Starlink Battle for atlas is basically the best star fox game we could ever get rgt, if you have not played that it is one of my all time favorite switch games you need that game in your life especially if you are enjoying starfox right now😁
I hope they bring nintendo 64 to the switch 🤞🙏
Street Fighter Alpha 2 was released on the SNES near the end of its life cycle; around the same time as Megaman X.
Think you may be the first to break this on you tube RGT!
Been looking for the European Easter egg and have come up empty (I’m assuming it will be same sounds but different colour scheme for menus?)
My boy love your shows man!!!!
The NES app has the same easter egg with those controllers
People say 8bit dew because that's how the company pronounces it I think. Saw a video of someone making the controller say 8bit dew, not sure if it was fake or if they can actually do that.
Nice breakdown, but "familiar" doesn't have an R in the middle of it, fella.
Is Starlink not considered a Star Fox game?
Oh man I love it when you get a scoop over spawn wave! Don’t get me wrong I love spawn wave but go RGT!
lol I don’t know if anyone else noticed it and every SNES switch controller review I’ve watched mentioned the same thing
for real though that is a sweet easter egg.
Too bad my 8bitdo SN30 Pro shows a generic controller. Nice little touch showing SNES controller in the Switch Controller menu.
If you have not checked out StarLink, you should it is a great game with StarFox characters in it.
I am using 8bito gbros wireless adapter to play with my snes mini controllers, i highly recomend buying it if you have both Switch and snes mini and still want youse the snes controller and don't want to spend alot and it cost 19 dollars on amazon. You can also connect a gamecube controller to it as well.
I have been tempted to grab a couple, I didn't jump on it right away so I will have to wait until they are back in stock. I've always liked the SNES controller, and I kind of wish the NES controllers were the dog bone style as well...
Nice, I cannot wait til I get my set. RGT 85, did you purchased the Contra Collection and The Collection of Mana on the Switch? I would like to see your take on how the SNES controller holds up to those games like Contra III SNES and Secret of Mana SNES. Thank you.
There is a Star Fox game on Switch. It's called Starlink and it's a masterpiece
... I mean if you don't want the extra USB C, I'd happily take it off your hands.
This very well may be the best option for fighting games.
I much prefer the 8bitdo mega drive/genesis one of fighting games. That d-pad is so much easier to do quarter-circles on, and it has 6 face buttons instead of the 4 on a snes one so it's more like an arcade stick
I've never really felt the need to compare sizes
That's what she said.
HarmonicWave no what she said was “I can’t believe you’re white!”
That’s the super Mario sounds to a T lol !!! I’m buyin this bruh ty for the vid🙏🏾
The Easter egg has been a thing since the NES classic controllers
Really excited to get my controllers in the mail! One of them will be for a giveaway! I have to say, it's kind of crappy that they are just going to put out Super Nintendo games whenever they feel like it. That does seem unfair. I think they need to give us at least an expectation. They need to give us a schedule. Otherwise technically they could get people excited and buying these controllers and signing up for the service, and then not give us any more games until October of next year!
The NES controller had an Easter egg like that too.
Sizzle.
Zr takes you home RGT
Crash Team Racing is amazing!
Wow... You call that hidden? It literally pops right in front of your face when you start the app 😂
Asks for StarFox on the Switch, while playing StarFox on the Switch....
Not really a surprise, the NES controller did this too
What will hapen in future when Nintendo shuts down Online for switch will we be able to purchase the snes and Nes Software so we can keep on our systems? Or will Our Saved data from the library of Snes and Nes be lost for
ever?
RIP RGT 85 INTRO
Why is he always yelling?
Cuz super nes/super Famicom :3
He's a very passion man haha 😂
Star Fox? I'm a Star Ocean man myself
Hello! Were did you buy your controller? Thanks!
It's from the Nintendo website, but you need a Switch Online membership and right now they're temporarily sold out.
I see. Thanks!
That looks like a gray bar, not white. It's the same shade of gray as the controller itself.
I don't think we can even order them in the UK yet
Sounds are all from SMW.
Gotta get one of those retro-bit usb 6-button officially licensed Sega controllers for Street Fighter games........
