Reddit reviews 8Bitdo Retro Receiver for SNES Classic, SFC Classic and NES Classic (Bluetooth) - Super NES;

I’m not a normal poster on this sub so hopefully I formatted this properly. I was browsing for a couple retro styled wireless controllers so my girlfriend and I could play some of the Classic games that come with Nintendo Online. This one was exactly what I had in mind and I noticed that it’s on a pretty good sale so I thought I would share.

This is an NES style (no analog sticks) Bluetooth controller with shoulder buttons, a home button, and 2 extra turbo face buttons. It connects wirelessly with the Switch without an adapter. It works with the Switch Online Classic games and it shows up as a normal controller so you can also use it with regular switch games that don’t require analog sticks or motion controls.

It can also connect to the NES/SNES Classics wirelessly if you use the Bluetooth version of the 8bitdo Retro Reciver.

8bitdo sells a receiver for the NES Classic that will work with any of their controllers

Edit: Amazon page

You could get an 8bitdo controller & wireless receiver. It would be cheaper than getting a classic or classic pro controller. Dunno how good they are tho.

If you do get an adapter, mayflash is the best choice. They make quality products from what I've seen & heard. I bought 2 of their products so far & both work perfectly

I bought the NES30 Pro and I love it. To use it on your SNES Classic I believe you'll need this dongle.

There is also a controller that looks more like the SNES gamepad if that's what you're after.

Yeah, but you need to buy a different adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B076B995TL/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510070910&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=retro+receiver&dpPl=1&dpID=31GA9PA5i4L&ref=plSrch

Looks like a bot that responds to "am I wrong?" The answer to your question is you need this: https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Retro-Receiver-Classic-Bluetooth-nintendo/dp/B076B995TL/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=8bitdo+bluetooth+adapter+snes+classic&qid=1556909090&s=gateway&sr=8-1

8bitdo SNES adapter. Allows you to hook up pretty much any bluetooth controller. 8Bitdo Retro Receiver for SNES Classic, SFC Classic and NES Classic (Bluetooth) - Super NES; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B995TL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_CDD2CbHKWV17B

Here is the one I've used. Also, the one made for NES/SNES Classics is several dollars cheaper and I'm pretty sure that they can be used with a Pi by plugging it in with the provided micro USB to USB cable as I've seen others say it works. I actually own one of the SNES Classic retro receivers, so I can try it out later when I get a chance to confirm.

Just ran into this conundrum myself. Bought a SNES Classic and wanted to get a wireless controller for it: This one to be exact. Unfortunately it was lag-tacular, (probably a 1/4 second delay, but enough to be irritating on platformers like MegaMan X and Super Metroid).

​

Returned it, and picked up this and this instead. The difference is night and day, and the controls are super snappy and responsive. Picked up the regular SNES adapter version as well and it works like a charm too.

Do you have a Wii Classic Controller? That'll work with some of the Wii U games (usually the ones that support multiplayer) and it'll work on Nintendont out of the box.

There's also these adapters that should let a wireless PS3 controller act as a Wii Classic Controller: https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Retro-Receiver-Classic-Bluetooth-nintendo/dp/B076B995TL

You have to "install" a controller receiver. But it just plugs on the controller port. Nothing internal or strange. Plug, sync, and play.

I use the Switch Pro Controller with an 8bitdo retro receiver but it's also compatible with PS3, PS4, Wii remotes, Wii U pro controller and every 8bitdo controller. Works great!
You can update the receiver's firmware via USB, and all the buttons work as intended. You can even use Select+down to go to the menu.

Edit: Page says Pre order, but it's been available for months and it0s only 1299 on Amazon.

Hey Patton, sorry I just noticed this post was removed by the automod.


If you want to post Amazon links the best way is to follow the guide titled "Posting Amazon Links on Reddit" here: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/wiki/faq#wiki_miscellaneous

Basically strip the url down to just this https://www.amzn.com/B076B995TL
That should be allowed by the automod and prevent it from removing them.

Cheers!

8Bitdo SN30 Game Controller

It's this one. Retro Receiver for the SNES Classic. I downgraded it to 1.10 and it worked. Is this the current firmware for this item?

Idk but this might work. https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Retro-Receiver-Classic-Bluetooth-nintendo/dp/B076B995TL/ref=asc_df_B076B995TL/

And the system automatically detected the joystick, or you still had to map it?

I'm using the 8Bitdo Retro Receiver which lets my connect via bluetooth to my PS4 controller. But it's not detecting my joysticks!

EDIT: Yup - just had to manually set my controller directions to the proper mapping :)

I use the 8bitdo retro receiver with an SN30 Pro. I don't notice any obvious lag or interference issues, but I'm not a speed runner or high-performance gamer. Battery life is okay - usually lasts about 4-8 hours, though I've never tried just pushing the controller till it died.

In hindsight, I wish I'd gone with the regular SN30. The extra niceties of the Pro model are okay, but they mess with the grip a bit since the controller is larger, and I find that I prefer other controllers for playing modern games on other consoles or PC. I got the SN30 Pro for nostalgia, so I wish I'd gone all the way and gotten a traditional one.

As others have stated, the NES Classic and SNES Classic consoles are for sale at pretty much every Walmart, Best Buy, etc. You can even use the free Hakchi program to put whatever games you want on them when you tire of the games that come on them but the NES Classic comes with all 3 Mario games released for the NES console and the SNES Classic comes with Super Mario World on it.

The NES Classic comes with 1 controller, SNES Classic comes with 2. You can purchase extension cables (that come in packs of 2) for like $10 that fit both consoles as the controllers for both are interchangeable. For $13 you can buy a bluetooth receiver to plug into the consoles (HERE) and use completely wireless 3rd party controllers or even PS4 controllers to play the systems instead of the wired controllers that come with them.

That is your best option. Brand new hardware, HDMI to hook to your new 4K tv. NES Classic has the 1 Mario game you want, 2 more you'll play later, 27 non-Mario games and the ability to add the entire NES library to it if you wish. Ditto for the SNES Classic when you want to play Super Mario World except you can't put all the games on the console at one time when you tire of the 20 games that come on the system due to the games being larger. You can only put a few hundred at a time. I keep 80 on mine with the roms for every single SNES game made saved on my computer so I can change them out at will because I like keeping all my games on the main menu screen, no folders.

You mean something like this?

Don't think this will work on either the Wii or WiiU though. In my experience, the remotes cannot fully power the adapter to the degree that they are supplied power by the Classic Mini line.

you use the port on the side of the usb port to get power to it. i tried searching for a post on the this group about it but i couldn't find it again but if you can find them cheap enough it may be worth a shot

I just saw the product link you posted, I have the Bluetooth model with the retro receiver.

Of note I got the SFC30 for easier use for my kids (push the Green button) but again the parts are swappable with official controllers if you want to keep the purple scheme, or just buy the Bluetooth SN30.
