Review: A must have for shoot-em-ups on the Nintendo Switch. - So from what I've been reading, a vintage Japanese Sega Saturn controller is considered the ultimate gamepad for shoot-em-ups. Some people prefer the arcade stick, but I think the Saturn controller is more popular in the SHMUP community. It's also considered the best gamepad for retro fighting games, though an arcade stick is favored over the traditional gamepad for fighting games. However, there aren't any adapters that will let you use a real Saturn controller on the Nintendo Switch, so I decided to give this a try. Well, my SHMUP skills shot through the roof as soon as I tried out this pad. I never got seriously into the genre, but I'm now starting to since I have the proper equipment for it. I found modern analog sticks terrible for SHMUPS. There are many instances where you'll need to slowly move in one direction with the bullet patterns(or in some games like Radiant Silvergun or Ikaruga, to get through tight corridors), and this can only be accomplished on an analog stick by tapping the stick to one side over and over again, which works horribly because it's an analog stick, not a button. The Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo d-pads work for moving slowl, but they're still bad for SHMUPS since it's hard to move diagonally or in a circle. However, the 8-direction Sega-style d-pad is perfect. You can move slowly to one side by clicking the d-pad repeatedly and easily move in 8 directions. I wish I could compare this to a vintage Saturn controller or the officially licensed Retro-bit Saturn controller for Switch, but I haven't used either. I can't say if those are better or worse than those. All I know is that this blows away trying to play SHMUPS on a a DS4, Xbox One controller, or Switch Joy-cons(some people do actually like the DS2 for SHMUPS though, try if if you want :Þ). Games I've tested on it include Radiant Silvergun in Retroarch, DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou in Retroarch, Ikaruga on PC, Touhou 16 on PC, Danmaku Unlimited 3 on Switch, Gunbird 2 on Switch, and Aero Fighters 2 on Switch. All controlled beautifully. A few things to note. For Retroarch I had to put it into Android mode(start+B). Windows mode(start+X) had a glitch where the R-button was just a duplicate of the Z-button and L wasn't recognized at all. For Touhou I had to put it into Windows mode and to use Joy2Key, since Joy2Key would not recognize Android mode. Both Android and Windows mode work with Steam, however, in Windows mode LB is mapped to L on the gamepad, LT to R, RB to Z, and RT to C. With Android mode it's mapped like it is on the Switch where L is LB and R is RB, which makes way more sense. But the bottom line is, if Windows mode is not working right on PC then use Android mode, Windows will recognize either(note that I do not know if Android mode works in wired mode, I tested with bluetooth mode). Apparently one is Xinput and one is Dinput, hence the different compatibility. And of course, Joy2Key is always an option for games that refuse to recognize the gamepad like Touhou. I had no issues with it on Switch since the Switch let's you remap controls now. However, the manual doesn't tell you how to change the D-pad from emulating the left analog stick to emulating the D-pad, even though it does have that feature. It's so typical of retro stuff to put features in and not tell you they exist. The pad also worked great in the Sega Genesis classic collection on Switch with Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage 3, and it worked well with Sonic Mania. I'll have to try it with Streets of Rage 4 soon. So bottom line, I can't compare it to the officially licensed Retro-bit controllers for the Nintendo Switch, I just know this a really good gamepad on it's own. And of course a vintage Saturn controller and an adapter is probably superior if you're serious about PC SHMUPS, but they won't work on Switch and will cost you more than this gamepad and lack bluetooth and the extra buttons. Also, while Retroarch, Steam, Joy2Key, and Switch all worked perfectly with this gamepad in the end, it did take some trial and error(that is the norm for anything other than Xbox controller/Windows and pro controller/Switch). I'll just say if you want a gamepad for PC and Switch that's great for SHMUPS and fighting games and classic Sega games, this works great.
Review: Fantastic Controller for a Sega fix. - I primarily bought this controller for the Sega Ages games coming for and on the Nintendo Switch. It pairs and works on different things like android, PC, Switch, and Steam similar to most of 8bitdo's products. The build of the controller is as solid as I expected it to be, light but doesn't feel cheap. The buttons feel great, similar to the 6 button Genesis controller and the same can be said about the D-Pad (which is a major plus). This D-pad is fantastic imo, a HUGE improvement from the other controllers I have from them (the SN30Pro), barely any misread inputs from left or right going up or down instead. One main caveat for using this on the Switch is that it follows the Nintendo button layout (so A on this controller is B and X on this controller is Y, and the Z and C buttons are mapped to L and R while the L and R buttons on the controller are mapped to ZL and ZR). Plus the D-Pad is apparently detected as an analouge stick instead of a D-Pad/the 4 directional buttons so that might cause some problems with some games. This isn't a huge problem for the Sega Ages games since you can remap the buttons if need be but if you plan to use this controller for a game that doesn't let you remap your buttons then it could be a problem. (And the Z and C buttons are mapped to L and R while the L and R buttons on the controller are mapped to ZL and ZR) Using this controller on Steam works pretty great using X-input (and Big Picture Mode) too. Overall, this is probably 8bitdo's best controller so far. I know that Retro-Bit are also releasing original cased wireless Sega Genesis and Saturn controllers in the future (who knows when) that will also work with the Switch, but for $30 this is hard to beat and is a great for all the Sega Ages games that are planned for the Nintendo Switch and Sonic Mania.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the buttons be remapped for Nintendo Switch**
A: Depends on the game. If the game has an option to remap the buttons, then you can do so. Unfortunately, the button labels won't match on this controller when you're using it on Switch, as Nintendo and Sega controllers always have A and B reversed relative to one another. The same goes for X and Y.

**Q: Would this work well for Sega Saturn emulation?**
A: It has all the buttons for it. If the emulator is on PC and supports x input, then it should work.

**Q: Is this also compatible with the ps4 or xbox one?**
A: This is compatible if you use a Brooks Wingman for either console, but not out of the box.

**Q: Seen on twitter the l&r are mapped to c&z is that for both models or can i mapped them to be stand alone buttons?**
A: I should start by saying no, you can't really remap them unless you use mapping software like the one that comes with Steam or if you just remap it through the Switch Settings Menu.

HOWEVER I have made a strange discovery. 
L and R are always L2/ZL and R2/ZR and Z and C are always L1/L and R1/R.
Except on the X-Input setting.

On X-Input, L and R are LB and LT in that order, and Z and C are RB and RT in that order.

So if you're using it on Switch then go over to use it on PC with X-Input and are confused as to why the hell the buttons are different, that's why.

And no, none of the other modes are like this to my knowledge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best retro controller on the market
*by T***4 on March 2, 2019*

This controller is, far and away, the absolute best retro controller on the market. Based on the Sega Genesis 6-button controller with inspirations from the Sega Saturn Model 2 controller, this works extremely well with retro games, and has a number of handy features to make the entire experience enjoyable. The ergonomics are great, and dare I say, better than the 6-button Genesis pad by a long shot. It just fits well in the hands. 6 face buttons, 2 shoulder buttons, and 2 extra buttons that function as a select and home button, all come together to make for a controller that works well with just about any retro game out there. It also has a turbo button. The d-pad is every bit as good as the original d-pad (so far...time will tell how durable it is). It is very accurate, and doesn't feel at all uncomfortable to use. I had no issues pulling off various combos and specials in fighting games with this. The buttons are all responsive, as well. The top row of face buttons do have a slight wiggle, but it is so slight, it is never noticeable while playing. The shoulder buttons also are very comfortable to use, and give the controller extra buttons to work with, making it a versatile controller that can work well with SNES, Saturn, and PlayStation games. As described, the controller has Bluetooth connectivity, though you can plug in a USB Type-C cable to play with a wired connection (I'd suggest getting a longer cable, as the included one isn't very long). Wired or wireless, latency is not an issue at all, and I had no problem connecting it to any Bluetooth device. The connection is also very stable. While I haven't tested battery life, 8BitDo advertises 18 hours of continuous play. Having used their SF30 Pro controller, I don't doubt that's accurate, as that gave me roughly 14 hours. The controller works on a nice assortment of consoles, with modes you can toggle by holding a button while turning the controller on. It will connect in XInput, DInput, Mac, and Switch modes. Yep, this works on Switch. With a bit of a caveat. For those wanting to use this with the Genesis Collection, unfortunately, the controls are layed out in a way that is inaccurate to the original Genesis controls, and there isn't an option to remap. That's not a fault of the controller, but the collection itself, though. And the controller is designed in conjunction with the Retro Receiver, and even properly maps the buttons to the Sega Genesis controls, with the L and R buttons mapping themselves to act as extra Z and C buttons, respectively. But all in all, this controller is easily worth the purchase. For those looking for a good controller to use with RetroPie, Lakka, RetroArch, etc, this is perfect. If you were on the fence, I can assure you to climb over. It's a great controller.
