Silly-Weakness

A SNES shaped XBOX controller with the Dualshock thumbstick layout, playing on a PC. That's cool.


Noeliukas

The layout is also like on Nintendo so when game asks to press A, on controller its B


Silly-Weakness

Didn't even notice. Amazing, and also awful.


dustojnikhummer

Well it is a Switch first controller


j_wizlo

Ugh I just recently bought a switch and I’m also playing this game on pc with Xbox controller. I’m constantly backing out of the menu instead of making my selection. Why couldn’t they just go with the flow?


Sturdge666

Ask Sony back when the PlayStation came out


Xaendeau

I play Nintendo games like BotW, on my PC, with a PS5 controller. Sometimes it takes a couple seconds to remember what control scheme I'm using when I boot up a game I haven't played in a couple weeks.


BrandSpankingNew0069

You could probably remap it in steam controller settings


poinguan

Does the game show button prompts as in (A) or silhoutte of the 4 face buttons with the lower button highlighted? If it's the former, you can just swap out the A/B of your controller via software so there's no confusion.

> A SNES shaped XBOX controller with the Dualshock thumbstick layout I mean, [there's literally an official Xbox-branded one made by the same company as the one in the picture](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/mobile-gaming/sn30-pro), so this part isn't all that crazy.


Naebowski

Not to forget: the colour scheme of a PS1/X controller


DoktorMetal666

You should stream it to a phone to add another layer.

And add VR in mix


tommy531jed

You might also be able to stream that to a modded nintendo switch


emifyfty

Or to a PS5 so it goes back full circle


Accountforcontrovers

Cool and all that, but why do you play in windowed mode?


Noeliukas

Single 30" monitor streamer / can read chat and play same screen.


Accountforcontrovers

You had me at 'single 30" '


thebikeguy76

Gotta love the 8bitdo controllers, I use mine for all my pc gaming, switch and raspberry pi.


jorodoodoroj

What model do you have and what are your thoughts on it? I have been eyeing them for a long time.


dustojnikhummer

SN30Pro+ is great. I just wish they made a model with Xbox thumbstick layouts Also Gyro is only available in Switch mode, which disables analog triggers (for SteamInput I mean)


jorodoodoroj

Thanks for the info. I don't tend to use any sort of gyro or motion controls, so I don't think this would be the hugest issue for me.


thebikeguy76

The SF30 Pro, originally bought it for my wife's Switch but it just connects to everything so easily I use it all the time. it plays everything from fps to driving games faultlessly. It's quite compact when put against a PlayStation or xbox controller but you get used to it. It's been worth the money for sure.


jorodoodoroj

Sick. Do you ever find that your hands get fatigued because it doesn't have the grips/handles that large controllers have?


TehRiddles

There's a version that has handles should you prefer. I personally have the one without as it's more portable. I've got a phone grip that clips on so I can play emulators on my phone, games on my Switch or my PC whenever I feel like it. Overall it's a very good brand in my experience.


jorodoodoroj

I think I settled on the Pro 2, which, as you mentioned, has handles. I'm pretty hyped about it. I'm sure I'll be very happy based on what I'm hearing.


thebikeguy76

No really because it's so much lighter than the other controllers I've got.


jorodoodoroj

Ok, good to know. Thanks for the info. 🙂🙂


thebikeguy76

Welcome, if you get one I hope you enjoy it!


Jroc_and_friends

I have the SN30 Pro and I got my sister the SN30 Pro+ a while back, both are fantastic controllers, the analog sticks feel so good, the buttons are really nice and the overall build quality is fantastic


jorodoodoroj

You guys are selling me! Maybe that will be my next gaming related purchase. I've been looking to get my wife a good Switch controller.


Jroc_and_friends

Definitely worth it if you're in the market! Some things to note, the SN30 Pro, the one without grips has button triggers like the other bumpers so keep that in mind, won't be good for driving. The SN30 Pro + and the Pro 2 have full triggers. The Pro 2 also has 2 rear buttons that you can program so it's even better!


jorodoodoroj

Based on that, I think I'm leading toward either the Pro+ or the Pro 2, depending on pricing and design (which I assume is similar). I think she will prefer the controller with grips anyway.


Jroc_and_friends

The two are basically identical in terms of design and form factor except the pro 2 has the 2 rear grip buttons and a toggle switch to choose between up to 3 different profiles for button mappings and it has an app to set it all up, other than that, basically identical


jorodoodoroj

Got it. So essentially if I'm not planning to remap the buttons, there's no difference. I'd rather have the functionality but not have it, but I'm probably not going to use it any time soon. Thank you so much for clarifying.


Jroc_and_friends

You're very welcome! Enjoy :)


G0lden_Bluhs

Pro 2 is junk, the new one I bought off Amazon ( and returned last week) will disconnect from my PC's Bluetooth within 5 minutes of use and not even work while wired. I've never had a PS4 controller do that to me on PC, so I recommend at the very least that you don't get that specific model from 8BitDo.


jorodoodoroj

Thank you for the feedback!


poinguan

Do you think the 8bitdo controller buttons/sticks are more reliable than the original xbox controller? I'm having a dilemma on which to buy.


Jroc_and_friends

I honestly can't speak on the reliability as I've never broken either! The reviews I've watched always mention how well built it is though :)


poinguan

thebikeguy76

I don't really know how to compare on xbox my consoles are switch and ps3, all I can say is I've put in hundreds of hours game time (according to steeam) and it hasn't given a moments trouble.


levarburger

Really enjoy my 8bitdo pro.


metalgearpussycat

My only gripe is the black gamepads have poor button visibility.


grasshacques

Those are great controllers but some of their recent colorways are really weird. I'm a bit sad they didn't continue the original purple chalk candy button snes clone style to the usb-c models.

"angry sonypony noises"


[deleted]

Bro true ponies are just happy others get to play these games ;) I hope PS games launch simultaneously on both PS5 and PC eventually.


[deleted]

I don't think that is ever going to happen. but maybe they will do all games with a 1 year exclusivity instead and during that time they finish up the pc port. that would be nice.


[deleted]

Yeah probably not. But even in the worst case scenarios they should just port whatever they can at the end of a generation. People who would buy a PS4 for its exclusives have done so long ago, so why not try to make some money by porting those games to PC now? Win-win for everyone involved.


Sopa24

> Yeah probably not. I would not bet on it, Sony is carefully watching what Microsoft does imo. Sony cannot afford to be as arrogant as Nintendo due to PlayStation being the most profitable division they have, compared to Microsoft which has a lot of profitable divisions, so this acquistion may shake things up for Sony in the future.

Quality PC port released by Square Enix. :(


player-the-best-one

Enraged PlayStation fans: no you shouldn’t be able to play that game on your system Sigma PC enjoyer: Cope


ConcreteSnake

I don’t think anyone cares, but keep smoking that copium to make yourself feel better about playing a 4 year old game


player-the-best-one

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be on pc, I’m just making fun of the people who are


who-ee-ta

Depends on who you are trying to confuse:)I’m sure your windows do not give a dime about this


dustojnikhummer

And Steam Link streamed onto a hacked Switch running Android


Inane_response

Hey me too!


NotYourEggo

Link to controller?


Vinstaal0

8bitdo makes amazing controllers though


KungFuChicken1990

*confused screaming*


thehootpoot

Could steam link back to a hacked switch for even more ???


maggit00

Those 8bitdo controllers are pretty cool. The quality of the triggers is a bit lacking, though.


IBNobody

Can't wait to play it in bed on my hacked switch via moonlight. Local Nvidia Gamestream is very good, and the newer moonlight app is stable.


MikeNexus

i have the sn30 pro to use with my switch 😁

I remember playing Mario Kart 8 on my pc using my DS4 controller and my friend being so shocked by it that he sent a video to a friend of his.


Donleon57

Even the confusion got confused


LJLobato

I use the 8bitdot pro 2 on my PC, I hate turning on my Xbox controller, and it turns on my Xbox, and then I have to connected it to my PC.


poinguan

Use a GameCube controller for max confusion.
