I wish I could just buy one for $30 instead of 2 for $60.

Maybe it's worth it to play emulators with a nice controller though.

It actually has enough buttons for Mario Maker

You can play with the NES controllers for SMB 1 and 3 only

I prefer the Dog Bone controller anyways, way more ergonomic than the NES controller.

Yeah, I didn't really give two shits about NES Online, but SNES Online is great. I've really gotten into Breath of Fire (first time actually playing the game; I borrowed a friend's copy of the GBA port back in high school, but I didn't get much mileage out of it).

You can play Mario Kart 8 with the NES controller. Feels bizarre but it's totally playable.

Are there any 2 player games this would be fun for? Thinking of buying a second controller but I don't think the SNES had many multiplayer games? Mario Kart isn't that fun btw

I'd like one for all indie games that don't need a joy stick tbh. I've always wanted to play through Cave Story with a SNES controller.

I hide them in a drawer now lol.

And thats why I moved to PC for next generation. Console gaming results in lots of accessories and wastage taking up space seeing that I have at least a couple of controllers for each console in each generation.

$39.95 AUD each, and free shipping if order over $70. So basically buy two for $80 or buy one for $45.
