Well… it’s not… I couldn’t get the gamepad to be recognised as an input device. Using the Android 8Bitdo App allows you to map the controller physical controls onto touchscreen button areas. While it won’t play newer PC & Mac games very well due to the lack of buttons, it can be used on Android and as a Nintendo Switch controller as well. Hold your horses though as the 8Bitdo SNES controller isn’t just for nerds loading up their old SNES, NES & Mega Drive emulators. So it’s a double-whammy bonus as the pads look fantastic laying around your TV making you smile each time you see it and it really ups the retro level a notch when playing your favourite SNES games. Having previously used my Xbox 360 controller to play SNES & Mega Drive games I can vouch that there is a level of button bashing excitement that comes from having the cheaper feeling plasticky SNES gamepad. They’re all the same controller… so I’ve gone with the code names taken directly from the 8bitdo website.) When you connect the original SNES controller (purple buttons) it comes up as SNES30 via Bluetooth and the Super Famicom version comes up as SFC30. (The controller names are a little confusing.
This is exactly what I’d expect from a premium brand like 8Bitdo. So far I’ve played for around 5 hours with the (SF30 Super Famicom version) with no noticeable lag or connectivity dropouts. While it may seem nostalgic sitting on the carpet tethered to a SNES Classic Mini wired controller, in reality, I’m a fully grown adult and will cut wires whenever I can to fully enjoy the comfort of my couch. Not having wires is one of the best features of the SNES30 SNES controller and big-time improves your gaming experience.
Huh… my controllers not working properly… quickly adds controller inputs to RetroArch settings.

Loading up Retroarch (coming soon – full Retroarch review), having already connected my 8Bitdo controller to Windows 10 via Bluetooth I was ready to tackle some Mario Kart, Donkey Kong & Bomberman.
