He doesn't mention that the N64 controller also has built-in rumble, and not HD rumble it's more like the intense rumble of older controllers, likely mimicking the N64 rumble pak
NSO also does a great job replicating that classic rumble feel with HD rumble as well. I was playing Banjo Tooie last night with joycons and the rumble felt on point.
Side note: Mario 3D Allstars was updated to support the NSO N64 controller for Mario 64, exact layout and all. . . . . .half a year after the game was delisted.
@@coastaku1954 it doesn’t have to be though. Nintendo can re-release that collection right now. It’s just anti consumer and there was 0 reason to do it besides fear of missing out on
The NES controllers are cool but the Famicom ones are even better purely for the fact that the second player controller has a working microphone. Also the Mega Drive controller released in Japan is the 6 button one rather than the 3 buttoned Genesis one we got, we missed out big.
@@nore5888 Fuck yeah dude the Retrobit one? I use that all the time, I was heartbroken after I bought my PS5 and learned it wasn't compatible with it. Can't wait for Retrobit's 3D Saturn controller and Dreamcast controller
Bought TWO Japanese six-button Mega Drive controllers when I went to Nintendo Osaka during my Japan trip. I REALLY wish they would allow us to choose which variant of controller we want.
The biggest benefit to these controllers is that you are not restricted to just using them on switch hardware i use my SNES nso controller more on my TV (Google TV) to play SNES games via retroarch. I also use my N64 NSO controller on a real N64 via a bluetooth adapter and a everdrive.
I took a trip to Japan and picked up the Super Famicom controller from Nintendo's store in Tokyo. I told the guy who rung me up that the Super Famicom was my first system, and that we call it the "Super Nintendo" back in the states. He was blown away the Super NES controller had purple buttons.
I have the SNES controller and it’s a blast to use in 2D games. I got it at a flea market for 10 bucks and easily the best deal I’ve gotten on a controller
The SNES controllers were good for multiplayer games, they not only work with SNES games but they also work with some N64 games like Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Story! I kind of use the GameCube style controllers for 3D games like Goldeneye 007 and Banjo Kazooie, the Switch has made N64 games playable with many different controllers than ever!
3:21 there is a very simple and straight forward reason for this decision. it helps with the logistics, AND it creates an opportunity to convert people into new subscribers. if someone really wanted these and was willing to be a subscriber for a month to be able to order, there is a non zero chance that they would forget to or decide not to cancel.
20:28 obligatory mention that 8BitDo also has diy modkits for old controllers and those also work with the Switch (and probably show up as the real controller-- at least the N64 modkit does)
I imported the Famicom joycon controllers 5 years ago and just ended up using them on my SEGA Master System as wireless controllers. (Yes it's just as cursed as it sounds but they work great.)
@@titanic_monarch796 Yes but it’s only really applicable for Famicom games, regular switch games don’t support it, so it ends up not mattering. Plus, some of the Famicom games had to be edited to make the mic stuff optional since not everyone will have those controllers, meaning it’s just a novelty more than anything else
If you can afford dedicated controllers for everything, I get it, but if you need a swiss army knife controller that can scratch that retro gaming itch and also be a competent multiplayer option when friends are over, the SN30 Pro is great. I actually have a whole Super Nintendo retro setup as I'm old without a wife or kids to take my money and honestly the SN30 Pro controller feels damn close to the real thing. Excellent d-pad, solid buttons, and great build quality.
I’ve got 2 of the 8bitdo SN30’s (the ones that are flat like a SNES controller) and the pro model that has handgrips. I didn’t pay a penny for any of them as they were the subscription gift with Retro Gamer magazine in the UK. The flat ones are great for kids to play multiplayer when we visit family (with the joycons it means easy 4 player). The more advanced model doesn’t get used at all, as I use the Nintendo Pro Controller myself and my kids are not fans of the sticks being next to each other. Good controllers nonetheless.
These NSO classic controllers are really cool. I bought the SNES and N64 earlier this year. And honestly, they are really cool. I love that they feel just like the orginals. I own both retro consoles, and it gives me a good idea of what these controllers felt like brand new. I didn't get the NES or Genesis ones because they looked pretty pointless. SNES is amazing for any 2d game both old and new. I love using it for GBA games on the system. Although you can use a button combo to get to the home screen with the SNES controller in the SNES app, but it only works for that app. Doesn't work with any other game. And the N64 controller is necessary if you actually want to play N64 games on the switch. Because the control mapping for a pro controller is more weird than an N64 controller. But yeah these controllers are super fun. I get all giddy when i use one. They are really fun to use for MK8DX with friends. Because Mario Kart hasn't changed in 30 years, you can still use an SNES controller. And the N64 controller is fun to use as well in Mario Kart.
You think 60$ is bad , try buying them in an unsupported region where scalpers are the only option. Nintendo really needs to sell them in retail by this point.
18:22 Well now you gotta play the modern Sonic's with the Genesis controller! Playing the Switch release of SonicXShadow Generations with the Genesis controller would be quite the quirky experience.
it was a bit rough going back to the N64 controller after so long. So used to a second analogue stick. Played through Banjo and Star Fox 64 with it on the Switch online service.
The SNES NSO controller is awesome for retroarch on wiiU, and the n64 one is awesome for all the n64 games that came to its VC + the ones that work when injected.
the n64 app with the official controller has been my favorite "game release" this generation. Ive played through each game on release and love it to death. I like the drip feed, as giving me all the games at once would just overwhelm me. I think this "drip feed" model is much more fun then a game pass model. Ive spent an hour browsing game pass, only to quit because I couldent decide what to play. But yesterday turok 2 released on nso, so no need to choose, I just play through whatever is new. I think it is vastly superior to the virtual console
incredibly hard disagree on the dripfeed thing. what it just does for me is make me forget the apps even exist and just makes us wait for virtually no reason. just upload the roms, nintendo.
i also disagree on the drip feed thing, due to the whole thing being paid by how long you have been subscribed. the slower they release the games, the more money they make
And one thing Scott didn’t mention about these controllers: you can pair them to other devices as standard Bluetooth controllers. Their functionality may be limited, but it’s still pretty cool if you’re playing emulators on PC. But the thing I personally do with them: pair them with Bluetooth adapters so I can use the wireless controllers on their original systems. That feels great. I love experiencing old games on their original hardware, and having the ability to play those games with wireless controllers that are still authentic to their original designs is awesome.
I find it odd that the n64 control was never made an official controller for smash ultimate. It wouldn't be a selling feature, but it would have been a cute novelty that pays respect to how the series started.
its probably because smash ultimate would be hardcore on the stick, which in a really odd choice replicates the original stick design (the undisputed worst part of the original n64 controller, as the original stick had plastic on plastic grinding), but with some lubricant added to the parts. while the stick is likely to last much longer then the original sticks, its not ideal and likely will have degredation issues in the future. and a fighting game is one of the most intesive games on a controller i can think of, so i can understand why it was never advertised. the youtuber nerrel has a really good video going over the nso n64 controller (among a few other n64 controller alternatives) if youre curious
There's already comments of "DAMM IT NINTENDO WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY NSO!?", we have apps like Spotify you have to pay, it just makes sense and makes NSO have more worth like, what?
I recently got the N64 controller and out of curiosity I tried playing Minecraft with it. The C buttons do function as the right stick so you could play the whole game that way. I would never recommend that to anyone, but you could if you really wanted to
I just bought a set of these. I bought them for nostalgia. I’m 40, so I had to have em. They actually unlocked some Mario 3 muscle memory. 35 bucks off of eBay. Thought it was a deal.
I actually really like using the SNES controller with new third party releases in that retro style. The buttons feel so good and they're positioned nicely if you're only using the D-pad and ABXY
I bought the 8bitDo Bluetooth receivers for my SNES, N64, and NES and use these controllers for those consoles. I now have authentic Nintendo controllers, but wireless, for all my old systems :-)
One thing I like about the NES/SNES controllers is that 8bitdo makes a Bluetooth adapter with a nunchuck connection that you can use with the NES/SNES Classic/Mini systems and use the NSO controllers with. So when my kids are using the Switch and I've got a craving for NES/SNES I can play on another TV and not have to deal with the 2' controller cord of the NES Classic
There are famicom and mega drive variants of these controllers and they’re actually cool. I have the super famicom controller and it’s such a novelty to not only have a retro controller, but one that was meant for a completely different market.
One thing I did find out is these controllers could work on certain games for the switch outside of the online service. But that was mainly on the Konami collection games giving you the ability to play each game within those collections with the original controller you would have used such as the first 3 castle vania games or super castlevania with the snes controller.
Playing Kirby Star Allies 4 player with SNES controllers just hits different. Such an amazing way to play. It's so sad that they didn't put a home and share button on those 😢
I have the SNES and N64 ones and i'm pretty happy with them. No Home button the snes one is my only real complaint too. Both work great for emulators too
While I personally love all these controllers I would definitely say the N64 one is borderline essential for those games. It’s great to experience these games in the most definitive and accessible way!
I have one of the original SN30 8Bitdo controllers that looks just like the old SNES controller and I use it for everything. Two sticks and still can go flat into drawers or bags.
I ordered all of them as well then went a little overboard and ordered the famicom and super famicom versions from Japan. The gold and Red with mic on 2nd controller on Famicom is neat and colored buttons of Super Famicom
3:59 Upon modding the Wii, and installing HBC and priiloader, the GameCube controller can be used on the priiloader menu and the HBC menu, as well as most of the homebrew apps. Talk about a second plan.
These controllers are cool, especially the SNES one! My only gripe is that I can’t buy the Japanese variants without jumping through some weird hurdles. The Famicom Joy-Cons have cool colors, and the 2nd controller has a working microphone. And the Japanese Genesis (Mega Drive) one is the 6-button variant! Plus, they work well on the American (and European) NSO apps.
i got the SNES controller as a "screw it, why not" kind of controller last year, and its been my go-to controller for anything and everything retro and especially for nearly every 2d game i play nowadays. plus it hooks up flawlessly to a computer to play emulators with. great for anything from the nes to the gba and even ds emulation. genuinely cannot recommend it enough, especially for $30. fantastic battery life, fantastic build quality, pick one up if you can!!
The 8bitdo sync issues is definitely not just you. I would love their pro 2 controller if it weren't such a pain in the ass to repair every time I use it.
I get wanting official hardware, but Scott's right, the 8bitdo versions are fantastic modernizations of classic controllers. Everyday I wish I can use them on my PS5. Might have to look into adapters for that.
I look for any excuse I can find to use the SNES controller honestly. I already really love the original controller so being able to play a bunch of Switch games with it is just awesome.
I'm using the SNES pad all the time with 2D games. Only annoyance is the lack of a home button, but I keep my Joycon attachted to the Switch and getting up to the console to 'reset' via the home button on the Joycon is fine, because that's how it was back in the day. :)
I want the nescons so badly but i do gotta say i have the snes pad and i use it for everything i possibly can. Snes pad is the best pad ever made, having a modern version of it is all the better. Wanna get my hands on the n64 pad to see if its like i remember them being when they were new. Every n64 pad ive bought online, the sticks just wrong.
I’ve seen a lot of people get Bluetooth controller adapters for the N64 and connecting the N64 NSO controllers to them. Imagining to get 4 of those and playing either Mario Kart or Smash with wireless first party N64 controllers seems wild

I honestly prefer that kind of rumble.
Built in rumble pack then
NSO also does a great job replicating that classic rumble feel with HD rumble as well. I was playing Banjo Tooie last night with joycons and the rumble felt on point.

I have the SNES and N64 ones and i'm pretty happy with them. No Home button the snes one is my only real complaint too. Both work great for emulators too
Just realized you and scott the woz are same guy pretty cool
The first Switch first party controller with no stick drift!
preparing us already i see
While I personally love all these controllers I would definitely say the N64 one is borderline essential for those games. It’s great to experience these games in the most definitive and accessible way!
I played Super Mario Wonder with the NSO SNES controller & it felt soooooo goooooood! 🤤
The left NES controller can be pretty nice if you're playing a dpad game and want to use an actual dpad instead of using N64 c-buttons.
I have one of the original SN30 8Bitdo controllers that looks just like the old SNES controller and I use it for everything. Two sticks and still can go flat into drawers or bags.
I ordered all of them as well then went a little overboard and ordered the famicom and super famicom versions from Japan. The gold and Red with mic on 2nd controller on Famicom is neat and colored buttons of Super Famicom
I used the SNES controller to play Mario Wonder and it was such an upgrade over the Pro Controller or Joycons for that game.
3:59 Upon modding the Wii, and installing HBC and priiloader, the GameCube controller can be used on the priiloader menu and the HBC menu, as well as most of the homebrew apps. Talk about a second plan.
I really like the NES controllers but I've always preferred the Famicom ones. Aesthetically.
These controllers are cool, especially the SNES one! My only gripe is that I can’t buy the Japanese variants without jumping through some weird hurdles. The Famicom Joy-Cons have cool colors, and the 2nd controller has a working microphone. And the Japanese Genesis (Mega Drive) one is the 6-button variant! Plus, they work well on the American (and European) NSO apps.
I wish that they could also make a controller for the Game Boy too, since it doesn't have one yet, right? 2:19 PS: Happy Halloween Scott!!
that would basically be the NES controller. It has the same button set, and it would have the same functionality. Same with SNES and GBA.
I got the NES online controllers recently, I kinda like that they’re pseudo limited joycons lol
Btw, the NES and SNES controllers that go with the NES and SNES minis work fully with the Wii and Wii U through the Wiimote.
5:04 IT CAN DO WHAT!?
You can even mix and match with actual Joy Cons.
Yeah, portal changes your portal colors based on what joycon you use
i got the SNES controller as a "screw it, why not" kind of controller last year, and its been my go-to controller for anything and everything retro and especially for nearly every 2d game i play nowadays. plus it hooks up flawlessly to a computer to play emulators with. great for anything from the nes to the gba and even ds emulation. genuinely cannot recommend it enough, especially for $30. fantastic battery life, fantastic build quality, pick one up if you can!!
The 8bitdo sync issues is definitely not just you. I would love their pro 2 controller if it weren't such a pain in the ass to repair every time I use it.
I get wanting official hardware, but Scott's right, the 8bitdo versions are fantastic modernizations of classic controllers. Everyday I wish I can use them on my PS5. Might have to look into adapters for that.
I look for any excuse I can find to use the SNES controller honestly. I already really love the original controller so being able to play a bunch of Switch games with it is just awesome.
Just bought my first NSO controller and you post this.
I'm using the SNES pad all the time with 2D games. Only annoyance is the lack of a home button, but I keep my Joycon attachted to the Switch and getting up to the console to 'reset' via the home button on the Joycon is fine, because that's how it was back in the day. :)
They were interesting in my opinion!
The way you pronounce "buh'ins" makes me smile. 😃
I want the nescons so badly but i do gotta say i have the snes pad and i use it for everything i possibly can. Snes pad is the best pad ever made, having a modern version of it is all the better. Wanna get my hands on the n64 pad to see if its like i remember them being when they were new. Every n64 pad ive bought online, the sticks just wrong.
UFO 50 is an amazing choice for the NES controllers.
I've been waiting for this video!
I’ve seen a lot of people get Bluetooth controller adapters for the N64 and connecting the N64 NSO controllers to them. Imagining to get 4 of those and playing either Mario Kart or Smash with wireless first party N64 controllers seems wild
