These Nintendo Switch Controllers are Special

[@ReavoEnd]

With the Switch having been around for 5 years now, I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't released any revised Joy-Con. Not just for stick drift, but also grip comfort and analog triggers. Or retro-themed ones that fans were dreaming of early in its life.

[@maximus2536]

They really are putting minimum effort into everything. The consoles UI to the content in the newer games like switch sports to their console colourways and designs. I hope they don't start to fall off because of this mindset...

One of the highest selling consoles of all time. Unfortunately that means they don’t have to work all that hard for your money anymore

[@DJ239]

100% agree with you about the 8bitdo M30, it's my fighting game controller for Ultra SF2 and 2D platformer for Cuphead.

[@fennsk]

8bitdo bonus: the Lite or Zero can act as a remote clicker on the laptop of a boring grown-up who makes PowerPoint presentations. Just need a button-mapping program to get extra value for those kinds of use cases.

[@CyberVirtual]

I think the Switch has the best selection of Third-Party controllers of all time.

[@anon_y_mousse]

At this point I'm convinced that the only way to get the controller I want is to make it myself. I think once I get my workshop setup at the new house, it'll be time to get going on that project.

[@banatg]

im curious, what do you want in a controller?

[@politicaefutebolsediscutem1157]

The day someone makes a joycon without analog sticks but with all the other buttons is the day they will make ton of money. An old school joycon needs to be made.

I got my Split Pad Pro on your recommendation when it launched a few years ago, and it's still my favorite Switch accessory. The quality of your videos is superb as always!

[@the_stranger833]

Did the split pad pro ever get drift ? . im planning on getting a pair myself

[@ihashup]

@@the_stranger833 No drift on my hori's they have the best joysticks out of all controllers I've tried for the switch

[@Gorgutsforcongress]

Best analog sticks ever.

[@juandelossantos1866]

That 8bit do fight stick is sooo good. It’s not as good as my pro sticks. But to jump in on switch and get a few chill games in, it’s perfect.

[@SheppC42]

The Power A Nano doesnt get enough love. Its by far my favorite to use. The D pad takes a lil bit to work in, but the size is perfect for on the go.

[@TiVo2Go]

*The PowerA Nano would be perfect if it had rumble.*

[@MzGamr90]

The switch plate feels just like the PowerA Nano Enhanced controller just with rumble. Solid controller and feels great in hand.

[@rockey_exe]

Would of liked to see 8bitdo use circle pads (like you would see on a 3ds for example) on the lite 2 controller.

[@thevgmlover]

I agree, I feel like those circle pads have a lot of potential in this example, it's a shame to see them ignored like this.

[@BassMaster.454]

@@thevgmlover yea great for compactness and portability

[@CreamyCaesar491]

L3 and R3 would be hard to do with circle pads though

[@gimrongaming8496]

That's what I said! That's my dream pocket controller.

[@xamnaut]

They also feel great! I don't even have a Switch, but I NEED IT!

[@RealziesCuts]

Liked & subbed. I’ve been noticing as well that Nintendo switch does seem to have the most wide assortment of controllers. I’m glad you started with retro fighters because I’m looking to pick up a product from them soon and I see nothing but 100% positive feedback for everything they make 💫✊🏆 Time to share this on Facebook

[@kwicksandz]

I love my m30 so much. i rarely play fighing games but i love it for old 2d rpgs like final fantasys and dragon quests. It feels perfect in the hand and that dpad is perfect for menu based games.

[@Mati-kun]

It's been a while since I last was on your channel. Thanks for the vid, now I'll be on the lookout for new controllers

[@nathanieldearinger1673]

I was really hoping that this video would cover more of the benbok style joycon controllers. I would love for nintendo or 8bitdo to make some pro style joycon controllers like the benbok.

[@mattwithoutfear]

Defo prefer the Hori over the Binbok; I have both and the Hori's thumbsticks are a lot smoother and more precise.

[@Marina-bd4le]

I had bought both the split pad pro and compact, had to return the pro version it's way too big. But I love the compact, substantially bigger than joycons with a great d-pad all around comfortable. Left analog feels a little off on both but it's better on the compact. Using on the oled model, they don't have any wiggle whatsoever which is great.

[@lahmyaj]

Great run-through of some cool controllers 👍🏻

[@bert6236]

I really would've loved the 8bitdo lite 2 to use 3DS style circle pads instead of regular control sticks.

[@vwmullen]

This would've been amazing. I really want a portable stick controller.

[@teneesh3376]

The brawler 64 has one big catch. the analog stick. For modern games, it's fine. But it's not made for modern games, it's made for n64 games. And the analog stick worked in a specific way where it gave more degrees of movement that retrofighters' sticks can't compare. Aiming in n64 games specifically is where it fails. People say aiming in the zelda games suck. With a modern stick they're right. But with the n64 controller in a good condition, it feels fine. Retrofighters should have tried to emulate its movement in someway instead of doing their own thing. Especially considering the stick registers a rectangle instead of an octogan

[@RocketSlug]

No love for the Gulikit? I have my small gripes with it, but I'd love to see more visibility and talk about their hall effect joysticks. The controller shape is also straight copied from the XBox controller (one fits into their hard shell, though it won't close completely due to other reasons) like the MGC

[@AIKIDOJRA]

I have an 8BitDo pro 2 controller for docked gaming, but for handheld nothing beats my DOBE controller/grip for my OLED Switch

[@adamdove3495]

Does Nintendo have patents on the circle pads like on a 3DS or something? Wish the Lite 2 would have embraced that vs sticks to make it equally as pocketable as the 1.

[@mintyemerald3935]

on the 8bitdo Lite 2 it would a lot more pocketable if they had 3ds style circle, they would have to have the stick click buttons separately, but other then that it would be the ultimate pocket controller!

[@repeekyraidcero]

1:30 Oh ! Thats cool !

[@show-me-retro]

Skull & Co joy grip is all I really need. Plus it loses nothing since it's using original joycons

[@quag311]

This is why I am subbed to this channel. Thank you!!

[@SakuraGraffiti]

8bitdo has the Ultimate line of corded Xbox controllers but later this month they're releasing wireless version for the Switch and I highly recommend them! Easily my favorite controller currently.

[@Empty12345]

8bitdo is soon releasing a new wireless controller "Ultimate bluetooth" which also has Hall Effect joysticks! People need to realize that Hall effect joysticks are the cure for stick drift and controllers have been a scam for over 20 years!

[@alvinanis3006]

I'd love to see you turn the Switch into a mini-arcade with one of those arcade box designs and with the controller.

[@PresidentEvil2]

Wish 8bitdo would make PC joycons

[@davejay6855]

Current controller = a controller not optimized for either the analog stick or the dPad, causing you to shift your thumb/grip awkwardly to reach something that is not angled with the physical grip you're holding... ...Nintendo 64 trident controller = a controller perfectly designed to allow you to play analog stick games or dPad games simply by switching to a different grip, both directly aligned to their corresponding directional controller without having to angle your thumb. Amazes me the amount of lemmings that are psychologically pre-disposed to a "modern controller" solely for the fact of either never having used a Trident controller with perfectly aligned grips for each control type, or who have simply been using those xbox/ds controllers for so long they can't handle something even when it's optimized for the system.

[@RealziesCuts]

I’m not surprised at all that that switch plate controller is already sold out 😅 Yesterday it was the GC loader for the GameCube it seems anything really great for the money is getting scalped this year 2022 year of the scalpers 😅🤦‍♂️

[@leomariano2735]

I wish Hori released a Switch version of the Fighting Commando Octagon with a Brawler 64 style mapping for NSO

[@AEtherGhost136]

I did a shell swap for my oled and got the dpad shell replacement for my left joycon and that works just perfect for those games!

The 8bitdo light I would have assumed that it has pressure sesetive dpads like the PS2 did so you walk by pressing it lightly and run by pressing it hard.

Can you see this: It must be the gaming of the future in upcoming years like the Next-gen PSP 5G and the Digital Demand for Nintendo Switch

I pre-ordered the hori split pad fit and am waiting for it to ship. That's the only thing I've ever pre-ordered. I have the 8bitdo with the dual d pads. It is great for 2d games like new super mario bros. I use the joycons most because I play in handheld.

[@ramothcure669]

An important thing that gets ignored is that there are two models of Brawler 64 controller - one that'll work on Switch (and others) and one that's only for N64. I made this mistake and want others to avoid. The frustrating thing is that only the N64 ones are available in the UK.

[@julianpina711]

When the faceoff pdp wireless controller ?

[@scrapslayer1726]

I wanna know who actually puts controllers in their pockets. I just carry all my stuff in a book bag.

[@davidb4290]

I agree with these takes except one - I find the 8BitDo M30 uncomfortable to hold, and its d-pad membranes (though not BAD) feel less than tactile than is ideal. Alternatively, I would HIGHLY recommend the Retro-Bit Genesis and Saturn controllers - they’re officially licensed by SEGA and are 1-to-1 recreation of the originals. The Retro-Bit SEGA d-pads are an absolute game-changer when playing Genesis games, fighting games, beat-em-up’s, Sonic, Mega Man, or anything in need of precise digital inputs.

[@davidb4290]

8BitDo definitely has better SNES d-pads than Retro-Bit tho. The best 3rd party SNES d-pads you can find are in 8BitDo controllers, specifically in the GameBoy color way. For whatever reason, they use better membranes in the GameBoy ones 🤷‍♂️

[@RobertJToledo]

HELP! I connect my Brawler 64 to the N64 and it has lag. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
