Now You Can Play Super Nintendo Games with a PS4 Controller

Playing with power

by Sammy Barker Tue 26th Jul 2016

We've always thought that the Super Nintendo's controller was one of the industry's better ones, but if you don't fancy using the iconic pad, then why not switch to the DualShock 4 instead? Not content with creating a NES wireless receiver, peripheral makers Analogue and 8BitDo have now joined forces on a SNES one, too.

Obviously the primary appeal here is the comfort that cordless gaming enables, but seeing as the receiver works with the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 controllers, there's a bit of novelty to be had, too. And a good headline for us as well – thanks, guys. If you fancy it, the SNES Retro Receiver can be purchased from PlayAsia for $24.99.

F*** Play Asia. They are nothing but another Chinese scam site. Do not do business with them.

@get2sammyb This is probably as close to an actual Nintendo Play Station as we are going to get huh?

Or you could plug the controller into a PS4 and play good games.

@BLPs SNES had a much better library then the PS4 does.

@Tasuki In terms of variety, yes the SNES is godly. My problem with it is...well....we didn't get most of that good stuff.

The UK didn't get Earthbound, or Final Fantasy, or Super Mario RPG, or Chrono Trigger. All those top end games everyone says help make the system. Granted we got them later on Virtual Console or inferior PlayStation versions, but the fact it was lauded as one of the best systems because of stuff we never got, just means as far as I'm concerned, with what we knew of the system, it was aight. Not special just...there.
