Anyone here purchasing/collecting retro-inspired controllers like the 8bitdo SFC30, M30, FC30, or inexpensive replicas solely for the purpose of reliving the nostalgic experience of playing retro games on their original consoles?

Surely I ain’t alone right? What other controller brands do you guys like or want to share. Feel free to share your favorite controller brands or any recommendations you have 😁

    I have a pair of Nintendo’s NES controllers for the switch, a 1st gen 8bitDo SNES, the M30 Genesis, and USB adapters for the N64 and GameCube controllers.

    And just use the switch pro controller for everything :(

    Don’t get me wrong. Those other controllers are awesome. I just don’t have the patience to be constantly switching, and the pro controller is just so good as long as you don’t need analog shoulder buttons.

      One way I made it more bearable for myself is by purchasing a USB extender/extension cable, which makes plugging in and out far more convenient. Though typically, I tend to stick to one console era per day. For instance, if I feel like playing NES games, I’ll most likely be playing NES games for the rest of the day.
