So I'm replaying Super Metroid on switch and the controls kinda suck and now I sorta see the benefit of that SNES controller. On the portable mode & pro controller the placement of select which changes missiles is really out of the way and makes that a pain in the ass.

Yeah, same for punchout on the NES app, some of these games don't translate well to the joycons. The low latency is nice though.

super metroid is one of the rare nintendo games that has customizable controls, at least. but i do hate using the minus button for anything, because it's in such a terrible position and is so damn small.

Wait, it does? I looked in the start menu but didn't see an option. Will check the title screen.

Anyhow, ordered the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+, hopefully I like this one better than the last 8bitdo controller I got for the SNES Mini.

Oh wow, the control customization on super metroid really helps here. Switched shot to Y, jump to B, dash to A and missile select to X and plays so.much.better on the Switch layout with this. I normally don't replay games, but haven't beat Super Metroid in forever and having it portable is a nice excuse to do another run through one of my favorite metroidvanias.

I'm travelling a lot with work in the next few months and the lite being well lite and smaller is just easier for me.

Plus if I just get the full fat when I go away I'll get bitched at for taking it. as she only really plays Nintendo stuff as it's cute and not violent.

Got that 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ thing. D-pad & buttons are pretty much the same as the SF30 Snes pad I have from them. Still hard d-pad and hard buttons compared to official SFC/SNES controller.

Still after trying it on a bunch of stuff, it's pretty much better than the official Switch Pro Controller in almost every way. So when playing Switch on the TV this is gonna be my go to controller for sure.
But in terms of good d-pads lately. The Genesis Mini d-pad >> Dual Shock 4 d-pad > Official SNES mini d-pad > 8bitdo d-pad ->> Joy-con d-pad >> Switch Pro Controller d-pad.

I'm sure some of you will bark at DS4 over a Snes controller, but I find the DS4 split d-pad way easier to do diagonals than on the cross. Also easier for taps like menus and F,F imo.
But fuck, these Genesis controllers are so damn nice. Forgot what a real nice d-pad was.

Himu · « **Reply #6793 on:** September 26, 2019, 10:22:52 PM »

d-pad is the main reason i want a dedicated 2d controller. glad I didn't get the 8bitdo and that reports of a hard d-pad were right.

Bebpo · « **Reply #6794 on:** September 27, 2019, 05:03:56 AM »

Fuck, input lag is real. Spent 20 mins stuck on the part where you have to wall jump consecutively in Super Metroid and could not pull it off consistently and then switched to portable and I could wall jump no problem :|
Also damn, when you can wall jump on a dime it definitely sequence breaks stuff in this game. Just got the Gravity Suit in the wrecked ship. For the most part the game is still holding up very addictingly (it's 2am and haven't been able to find a good stopping point last 2 hours), but some stuff definitely feels a bit dated compared to the more modern takes on the formula.

I completely agree, which is why I recommended getting a Mayflash Magic-NS and playing Switch with a DS4.
In handheld mode Hori Split Pad Pro is now the best there is.

And while I don't have a Genesis mini, I presume it's the same D-pad as Saturn/6 Button Genesis pad? Saturn is as good as it gets.

Try the M30.

Worth trying out these pads since you can just mark them as defective and return to Amazon for a full refund/paid shipping label if you don't like them!

Not a hard d-pad and is incredibly comfortable. They're releasing a version that will work on the Genesis Mini next month...that's a lock!

Also with 8bitdo SNES style pads...it depends on the style you get. Slightly different d-pads depending on if it's SNES, Gameboy, etc.

Just sold Astral Chains, made it halfy but I don't see myself getting back into it after Zelda. Game is cool, but the actual combat and action stages don't really click with me. If this was a TPS I'd def finish it.

Original Necrodancer and Transistor are like 4 bucks. Grabbing both since the Switch is clearly the "Get caught up on old shit on the train" box for me. (Just finished Dragon's Dogma, Undertale, and Goose Game over the weekend on it).

Almost bit on Diablo with the price cut down to $35...

Hmm, got that Hori Split Pad Pro in the mail today. Wasn't expecting it since it was sold out and wasn't supposed to re-stock until late October. Will be interesting to test this and see if it eliminates the wrist/hand pain I get from playing Switch in bed.

Since it came out I'd play laying on my back in bed and after 30 mins or so my hand would start getting sharp tingly numbness and I'd have either sit up and play or turn to my side and play to make the pain go away. Really annoying since I like to play Switch in bed and I play a lot of long games. Happens pretty much nightly.

Even without rumble, if these make it ergonomic to fix that, it will be amazing. I swear Switch is fucking up my wrist too, when I do pushups after playing switch the night before my right wrist has a lot of pain and I can't do a bunch. The switch design sucks for handheld playing in bed

Bebpo · « **Reply #6811 on:** September 30, 2019, 11:40:48 PM »

Definitely seem better at first try. The d-pad is much better and analogs are pretty good. I don't understand why there are buttons on the back that you keep accidentally hitting but they don't seem to do anything?

Yeah baby it's YU-NO TIME

It's a legendary PC98 VN with the greatest FM synth soundtrack of all time, unfortunately the graphics are anime trash and they didn't include the original PC98 graphics DLC like the japanese version, but I'll take what I can get

Jury's out on if the translation is better or worse than the fan version that required you to run an old Windows 95 .exe but I'll take what I can get, really

Basically I'm the only market for this video game because of my weird obsession with PC98, FM synth, and high res pixel art, by no means should any of you be playing this

Yu-No is censored on consoles, but it appears to just be one scene so no big deal I guess. Sucks that's there no old-school visual options. $:-\$

Not gonna start it yet, but loaded up Dragon Quest XI to transfer the demo save file over and check out the 2D mode. And unless I missed something, you can't just switch between 2D and 3D on the fly? The game prompted me to create a new save file and then started over from the beginning. Guess I'm sticking with 3D.

You can switch between 2D and 3D at a church, but if you switch in the middle of a chapter it takes you back to the first of the chapter.

I don't see how you could ever use them unless I'm holding it wrong? The buttons are exactly where your fingers hold the controller so you'd always be pressing them accidentally.

I knew about the church switch but didn't know about the chapter reset thing. There goes switching back and forth to check out spots on the fly.

Hori pad thing is good, but I wish they'd made the handles a little longer and rounded on the ends. It's already distinguished mentally-challenged fellow huge so an extra inch wouldn't make much difference, and making the ends pointed was dumb design, they dig into your palms after a while. I do appreciate the back buttons, I wish they'd make this standard on console controllers next gen.

Metal Max Xeno wasn't all that good. The tank customization had a lot of detail and some of the battles had some decent challenge, but everything outside that was pretty bland or barebones. Don't think I'll play it again [even if it does let you have a cannon dog now], but I will get the sequel.

One of the Asphalt games was a pretty serviceable San Francisco Rush clone, all those games actually look really, really nice but I assume they have bullshit mechanics meant to squeeze you so I never progressed beyond the second or third races.
