Testing The SNES Controller With Switch Games

How does Nintendo’s newest retro controller score on usability? Let’s find out.

GameXplain has tested out the SNES controller which is available for Nintendo Switch Online members for SNES games but they also explore what happens when the controller is used for other games on the console.

The controller itself seems to be basically identically to the original but not quite as smooth according to Andre. Though this might be attributed to the outside being worn down from use.

Super Mario Maker 2 seems to be a success but Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Link’s Awakening fall short of reading the console. But there is one other game is uses the controller successfully and some people might consider this use blasphemy.

Check out the video full for the reveal and to see the controller in action.
