Are the NES and SNES online controllers discontinued?
I would look at an SN30 Pro by 8bitDo as an alternative. As far as function, it will be more useful than those classic controllers because it will work with every game.

8bitdo firmware updater script
If you bought some controllers a while ago you need to update them to get switch 2 support. That is just one of the features they added, but you can check the changelogs on 8bitdo's page. AFAIK it's safe, but don't quote me on that haha. I did it for my SN30 pro and it worked flawlessly but I don't

8bitdo is an unreliable company and if you're thinking of buying one of their controllers to use with your Switch/Switch 2, just buy a Nintendo controller.
https://support.8bitdo.com/firmware-updater.html Their firmware update tool is here, and is updated for the Switch 2 for most controllers they'll continue supporting. It automatically detects controllers and is what I used to update an SN30 Pro, Pro 2, and Ultimate C. Sometimes the update process st

8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller
It's interesting that they picked this one specifically. I personally like the 8BitDo SN30 Pro around this household; getting all of Switch/iOS/Windows/SteamOS/Android with a single BT controller is pretty awesome. Genki did a collab with them where they got their own modified version of it (clear h

Which controller for use on Mac
I use 8bitdo’s Pro 3 controller! Works really well and can connect with Windows/Mac plus Switch and Switch 2 if you have those consoles. It comes with a charging dock which is really neat. It is a bit pricey (if you’re worried about that)… That’s why the Pro 2 and even the SN30 pro (which is perfect

What's everyone's favorite controller to use with the dock? Pros and cons?
I have a lot of controllers, the SN30 pro seems like the best. The 8bitDo NeoGeo wireless is nice for NeoGeo and Arcade stuff. The stick is very unique. The 8bitdo arcade stick is great for arcade cores. The Genesis Big6 is cool but I've had trouble connecting it sometimes. Wii U and PS4 are fine. T

All NES games?
An 8BitDo SN30 Pro controller and your phone or tablet. For Apple use the free apps Delta, Delta Legacy (for DS games) and Retroarch. For Android, I think you can get Retroarch.

Hands on with the Retroid Pocket Nova; A custom OLED love letter to 4:3 gaming
I seriously cannot wait for mine to arrive. The Nova is what I have been wanting since the Retroid Pocket 2S. Skipped all the generations since. It’s 4:3 or bust for me. I chose the Crystal and am swapping in the GamCube buttons, and only making the ancillary home button purple. I have the 8bitdo Ge
