8bitdo And Analogue Interactive Team Up Again For The SNES Wireless Retro Receiver

Awesome for people who own the console!

The link is broken

Also would this blutooth dongle let you control PC games with a Wii U Pro Controller?

Ahh no, I can't comment as I'm not first.

@Yorumi I own 2 8BitDo SFC 30 controllers (the SNES ones in the first picture, in PAL/JP colors) and the build quality is pretty much perfect. They aren't cheap though...
I'm thinking really hard about getting those receivers right now.

... truly, we live in the future!

Hello input lag!

I'd love a new SNES controller, wireless or not, but I'm extremely wary of third-party controllers. I'd like to wait for someone else to take the dive first and share their thoughts. Anybody?

@yopparai Ah, looks like you've taken care of it.

Hopedully there'll be one for the NES Classic!

I have the NES30 Pro by 8Bitdo and for in game play, it is great. (the problem is menu selection that demands an infrared input from a Wiimote).

However, 8bitdo's NES receiver has been unavailable for months. I've been dying to get one, but none to be had. They ought to figure out their production and distribution before moving onto the SNES receiver . . . .

Me like.

It shows that Nintendo could definitely incorporate wireless controllers into a SNES Classic Edition, if that ever happens (highly likely). And, when I say "wireless" I'm really talking about controllers that could be used both wired and wirelessly just by unplugging the controller cable (choice, you see). You can get a better idea of what I'd like to see in a full SNES Classic Edition here:

@Tasuki That's a surprise; Play-Asia's a pretty reputable online retailer.

It could have just been an isolated instance, but I don't blame you personally for not wanting to deal with them again after your experience.

I have used Play Asia many times now and i have never had any problems at all. I had to contact their customer service twice (email), and in both cases they did reply very fast and friendly, so it's kind of sad to hear that :/

@Tasuki All of my orders through Play-Asia had been successful and satisfying. There are times when their product will arrive late or I didn't get the item cause I wasn't home to sign the delivery tag but other than those they are actually really great with their service. Recently bought Resident Evil Revelations 2: The International Edition (PS Vita), the Action Replay for my Sega Saturn, and some Super Famicom titles such as Rock Man & Forte and Rendering Ranger: R2. I had better service with them than I ever did with other online vendors like eBay, Amazon, AliExpress, and Newegg.

I want that arcade stick! Hopefully I can mod it and put Seimitsu parts in it.

@Tasuki
Um... i usually order games from Play-asia. Only once I experienced the game suddenly out of stock (Animal Boxing NDS) after i purchased. But overall, no problem with play-asia so far. Also, i ever got my games faster than my prediction.

I already play snes wirelessly off my Note 4, I use the emulator and wire my phone thru the hdmi port and connect my ps4 controller

@retro_player_22
May i ask about Aliexpress and Newegg ?
Can i order the games and delivered to Indonesia ?
Are those really reliable & thrustworthy?
Because I can't buy from Amazone.com just because of Region Restriction.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Don't you feel better now. It's like a weight is off your shoulders.. it's kinda therapy in some kinda way

@Anti-Matter I believe Newegg shipped within the USA only but AliExpress does offer international shipping. Only problem is their shipping process maybe slow as it would take the seller several days (usually 3-7 days) to confirm shipping and about 3-5 weeks after that until your product arrive. I would advise you to check and read the product descriptions as well as the seller rating very carefully before you purchase anything in AliExpress as most items they sold there aren't what they seem to be. I once bought a 32Gb microSD card there to use on my video camera for film class. About a week later, the card failed to read and all my videos in that card were gone. Because of that I had to redo all the videos again with a new card I bought from local retailer instead. Since then I am skeptical of buying anything from AliExpress.

@retro_player_22
Thank you so much for the information. Lately, i use Ebay for hunting rare old games with reasonable prices, so far still okay. I ever got Brand New games despite actually i chose Like New. Lucky me.

@Yorumi 8bitdo is by far the best 3rd party controller brand in the world today. I have three of their controllers. They feel absolutely premium, are extremely well supported with firmware updates, and work on almost anything.

@masterLEON they sell a stick with Sanwa parts already in. Not sure if they sell a cheaper non Sanwa version. Swapping to Seimitsu parts, if that is your preference, should be easy.

@sdelfin They do have a non-Sanwa one, play-asia lists it at $89US. I think its odd that the Sanwa version only costs $20US more as the stick and buttons would normally cost more than that for me, but I guess that price is more about the base design. I like the Seimitsu as an all-around stick, specifically the LS-40. From fighting games to shmups, it's great. And it's also the same stick used in Japanese NeoGeo candy cabinets, no wonder I find it so versatile!

@masterLEON I forgot they had a non-Sanwa stick. I was originally going to go with Seimitsu when I bought a used Tatsunoko vs. Capcom stick off of ebay, but I got lucky in that it came pre-modded with Sanwa parts, which wasn't mentioned in the listing. I got the whole thing with Sanwa parts and box for little more than the cost of the Sanwa stick itself. I still may try Seimitsu in the future. The Sanwa 8YT is great for many things, but I think it can be a bit better for shmups as I'm noticeably better with a Saturn pad than the stick.

I did a little looking around on the matter of the 8bitdo stick. While aftermarket parts should all fit into the case nicely, it seems the stick connectors are different. I'm not sure if posting links is a problem, so if you google search "Custom splicing from 2-pin jst" you'll see what's involved. A $20 difference certainly isn't much.

Good find with that TvC stick! I see the connector difference, it'll take some work to figure out what wire goes where but at least there's no soldering. I might consider the Sanwa version because I'm ok with their buttons.
