Has anyone in this group went and brought one of those 8-bitdo controllers for the switch? Is it worth the money?

 

[Alex Castillo]

Yes if you play dpad dependent games. Since the Joycon doesn't have one and the Pro Controllers dpad sucks.

 

[Thorsten Pfeiffer]

For Arcade and Retro style games like Street Fighter2 definitely a good solution and the next best thing to an actual Arcade Stick. I don't regret buying one. Nevertheless, if you have bigger hands it is a bit small and I'd suggest you wait for the new version, which will be released later this year ( it's just a bit bulkier and seems to have a closer feeling to an SNES pad ).

 

[Richard Corrales]

Definitely worth the investment, but like was already stated, kinda awkward to hold for those with big hands.

 

[Jonathan Patimo]

it's a great alternative to pro as it's pricey, this does the same thing but suitable for smaller hands, I have Hariyama hands but I've grown to love it

 

[John Lachovych]

Already had some for raspberry pi haven't use it for switch yet but they are good controllers

 

[Marieke Botman]

I like it! Got big hands, but for me, it isn't a problem with the controller

 

[Shawn Darrin Brown Jr.]

I want to get it because it overall looks like a decent controller and would probably use it for my desktop as well (I need to find a Bluetooth adapter for my desktop to use it of course but it probably doesn't cost much) and I figured it'll kill two birds with one stone since I only have one controller for my switch

 

[Jonathan Patimo]

search my post from yesterday, it's about this controller and Bluetooth adapter

 

[Toby Vetters]

I've got one and it works amazing for dpad games. Since the joysticks are in the middle they're too awkward for my hands but the controller itself is wonderful

 

[John Lachovych]

I'm just gonna probably get a 2nd pair of joy-cons and a pro controller for the switch think that will do it for me,might even use my 8bitdo controller for retro-gaming but haven't had any issue with the button layout on the joy-cons and it's usually just me playing my GF does most of her gaming on PC.but the cost of this systems controller and how many some have bought wow I can't see it $400 in controllers versus buying 6 new games,and a few accessories I'm choosing the games XD

 

[Merideth Paskel McKamey]

if you get the adapter you can play original SNES with it. so switch or not its totally worth it to me lol

 

[Rehenie Rossab]

Does this controller have limitations? Can it play every game in switch?

 

[Derek Beattie]

Im waiting on the new snes ones with the rumble, and different trigger layout.

 

[David Kohzad]

I want one, but the analog sticks should've been on top instead of the bottom.
