The fact that they are Bluetooth makes them infinitely more valuable for people using other platforms to play Nintendo games.
That's why I bought a pair of the SNES controllers. With an adapter they can be used on the NES and SNES classic as well as other devices. Seemed like a good investment for $60. Plus they are compatible as switch controllers in other games beyond the NES/SNES apps.
I'd imagine they are pretty good, but to me nothing compares to the official controllers.
I have a few of those - the sn30 and m30 (bluetooth and 2.4g models). They’re fine and roughly the same price as the Nintendo ones. Nintendo controllers are USB-C while 8bitdo are micro USB. Used controllers are a no for me.
Something like 20 games from my wishlist went on sale today.
That looks fun, what are some other ones that dropped on your list?
A Little to the Left - $11.99 is also at its lowest. Everything else was just matching the previous low.
Whenever I see these, I can't help but think 7 or 8 years from now, this will be the Switch Shop.
The dpad is much better on the 8bitdo pro/pro 2 controllers. I have the official wireless one and don't use it because the dpad is too stiff, have to press harder on the diagonals for them to activate. In comparison the official wired SNES classic controller is much better than Nintendos wireless one because it also has a better dpad. Personally I just see the official wireless controllers as something that's aesthetically pleasing but inferior to other controllers on the market. Even third party stuff is better.
What's the easiest way to see if a Wii U game has DLC? Not worried about 3DS yet. About to start going through Wii U.
That deal is dead. Showing 39.99 new and 37.99 used
Woops, well that was a short sale. Must've been a price error.
Agreed, plus they are giving those customers who ordered a $10 discount ($59.99). Kudos to them.
You do you, but some games are worth splurging for, and there have been very few bad Zelda games. You could also do something like Microsoft Rewards, Amazon Shopper Panel, or even Swagbucks then redeem your points for Amazon gift cards and buy it there.
I have a family plan -- and I use a DIFFERENT account for the admin. I just got the USA gold today... some folks were acting like they got points earlier in the week, so they could just be slowly rolling them out?
well maybe you'll get lucky and can score a copy from amazon or target during one of their promos. Amazons doing that locker pickup 10$ off thing again for example.
Got it, thanks for posting!
I have a huge backlog and am not very fast completing games so I can wait. I am sure it is going to be great and all though. I am sitting here under a mountain of games I still haven't started from over a decade ago. I feel like I would just add it to the pile if I bought it full price instead of just waiting for the discount. I do get your point about Nintendo being stingy with discounts but $40 is a lot more palatable than $70 for me especially if I am not going to play it immediately. I typically accumulate gold points and use them all up at the end of the year before the first gold point is set to expire (thereby maximizing the discount). I might use that on Advance Wars though.
I think that discount is for everyone though since the link is just the game listing page
Ive had some pickups recently be ready in-store with no notification sent. I'd recommend calling the store if a couple days have passed.
Whoa as just got $37 and change added in bonus gold coins. Had used my balance of $9.55 in gold coins towards Metroid Prime digital the previous week after the direct.
Nintendo assassins need to deploy immediately, this isn’t just shutting down some fan translation or tribute site.
If the guys next post isn’t a picture of their severed head skewed on the master sword, I’m not sure what Luigi team 6 is being paid for.
I checked in today and like two managers had to be called and they just gave it to me while saying they had system problems. I guess I'm on a list.
