Sooooo....whats the catch with these controllers?

First party wireless controllers seems pretty awesome

They're probably like $100 each

they're honestly really cool and they're good when you're emulating a game that comes from that console but they're a little overpriced even including inflation

>>713205226
Most expensive is Gamecube at $65, but yeah they are expensive. That's the biggest catch.

They feel identical to their original versions though. N64 even has the grindy stick

The battery inside each of them will eventually swell up

Non-replaceable battery, thats about it

>>713205479
Only the gamecube controller right now, they lifted them for all the others.

no home button's kinda annoying

>>713205156 (OP)
You can buy a Chinese knockoff for like $15-$20 instead.

>GameCube controller doesn't work on pc
WHERE ARE MY DRIVERS CODEMONKEYS

>>713205634
They have home buttons on the top.

>want to order more N64 controllers
>worried they'll release extra colors
Theres no chance of this at this point right?

>>713206043
Definitely never going to do this
I miss my old red controller though

can they connect to PC?

>>713206181
Everything except the Gamecube connects flawlessly now, just a matter of time for that one since it just came out

>>713205156 (OP)
They're overpriced, require a subscription to even be eligible to purchase (the highest tier one?), and they are limited to 1 per account.

>>713205156 (OP)
I'm genuinely shocked I don't see these discussed more. When they're not produced anymore these are going to be holy grails

>>713206248
>They're overpriced
fair
>require a subscription to even be eligible to purchase (the highest tier one?)
Just the normal one but yeah still dumb
>they are limited to 1 per account.
Just at launch, only the gamecube has a limit now.

>>713206043
Considering the GameCube is the one in the spotlight right now (and presumably once Smash 6 comes out it will be even more prominent) you're probably fine just getting one now.

are the snes or Genesis ones worth getting

>every Nintendo controller shows up as its proper controller in the menu
>Genesis controller shows up as a normal pro controller
kek even after all these years Nintendo can't just treat them the same

>>713206493
I played through the entirety of Wonder using the snes controller and don't think I can any other way now

>>713205156 (OP)
Nothing. They're really good. Only issue is they are expensive and you need to be a member to buy them and they're always sold out.

>>713206493
Sega has officially licensed Saturn controllers through Retrobit.

>>713205156 (OP)
Its impossible to charge the NES controller if you're playing with a Switch 2. Fucking retarded design decision they only did because they thought it'd be cute, now you have to either get a third party charging station or wait for them to re-release them

>>713206542
i have that n64 and gamecube ones but i never had a snes
is the dpad on it better than the pro controller?

They are pretty good and mostly faithful to the originals. Too faithful even.
The N64 Switch controller is using the exact same stick that the original N64 used with all the known downsides.

>>713206919
actually it's worse, because it's using potentiometers instead of the old mechanism the original stick did

>>713206043
>GOD TIER
Most See-through colors except Lime, Gold, Black
>GOOD TIER
Blue, Red, Green
>Okay tier
Yellow, DK64, Gray
>SHIT TIER
See-Through Lime, the pokemon ones

>>713207050
Atomic purple is #1 no contest

>>713206830
It's exactly like the SNES dpad which is known for being the best dpad of all time. Switch 2 pro d-pad is pretty great though

>>713206493
>>713206762
How does "officially licensed" work for something like that. Nintendo has everything they need to properly recreate a controller exactly the way it was, but can a third party?

>>713206043
My brain can only associate the jungle green controller as the N64 controller, which is the one I had.

>>713207315
Good taste anon

Should I buy the SNES controller or the genesis one?

>>713208768
depends what you wanna play most dummy

>>713208982
I just kind of want for the novelty
I bought the n64 controller and the only game I actually played through on the switch emulator was paper mario

Can I scream in the famicom p2 microphone in retroarch yet

>>713205156 (OP)
They have pretty bad latency
