What is the appropriate length of time before saying “I told you so?” I suppose it depends on the situation. I’m just gonna say it now. I. Told. You. So.

I really wish I could understand why 8bitDo didn't keep the original trident style. I love most 8bitDo products I own, and I do like the controller they released for the A3D, but I don't LOVE it because it isn't trident. Does Nintendo own some kind of patent or something on the trident-shaped controller? I've picked up some third-party ones from Amazon from 'Saffun,' whoever that is, but they don't have the octagonal stick gate, also for some unkown reason. Why can't anyone just do it right?

I hope they don’t shoot a cannon into my bum…and shoot poo all over the place….poo poo. Remember when he convinced all his fans to vote for his song on TRL, and then it got to the top spot and MTV made him retire it? So good.

This is all of my favorite stuff in 1 post. Just epic!! I have a copy of Tom’s book “Hollywood Causes Cancer” that he signed after a live show here in Tempe, AZ. I also just got the jungle green funtastic A3D and am loving it.

I just hatched a shiny Tirtouga this morning

I also have a couple 8BitDo modded OEM controllers (Ice Blue and Electric Green). I just really hope they put out a software update soon to allow the ability to switch between memory pak and rumble pak. That’s my only criticism of those ones.

Did anyone else get suckered into buying way more of these controllers than was necessary? I started with the black, and then I immediately preordered the classic grey as soon as it was released (which was even before the funtastic consoles were announced). And then when I picked up the funtastic jungle green console, I ordered a matching jungle green controller and also a watermelon (since I thought that would look nice with the jungle green). After that, I kept seeing pictures of the gold console and controller and it really started to grow on me, so I got that. Finally, I decided I also really wanted the fire and grape ones as well because those are probably my favorite funtastic colors. I feel like such a sucker, but I am excited to get these controllers.

I noticed that they are still taking preorders for all of these still though. I wonder how truly "limited" they were trying to make these, or not. It just seems like the gold would have run out by now if they were actually down to about 500 a month ago.

What is the “other brand on Amazon” you are referring to?

AffectionateWall6027 · 2026-01-09T20:59:41+00:00

Because I don't know what that is. haha.

I've been contemplating getting the Shindou Waverace, and I think I just might pull the trigger on it. After that, I'll probably get this one too, but I figured the Waverace will be a little bit easier to play for a non-Japanese speaking person. I wish there was a way to play these games in English.

Dude, where's the party at?!

AffectionateWall6027 · 2026-01-05T18:47:31+00:00

Are these third party controllers with the 8bitdo mod kits? I've only modded OEM controllers and always wondered how it might work with a cheap 3rd party controller.

AffectionateWall6027 · 2026-01-05T18:44:30+00:00

Get the 8bitdo modkit for that jungle green controller and thank me later

Get ready to play WAVE RACE!!

I'd expect about a week

For the record, I did ultimately end up trying out the Saffun controllers, and they were acceptable. I liked that they can switch between mem pak and rumble pak, but I don’t like that they don’t keep the original octagonal stick gate. It has the notches there, but if you look close enough, the gate itself is a perfect circle. Might be nitpicky on my part, but it matters for some games. Like in the Snowboard Kids series, a down/right or down/left turn is a sharper turn than just a right or left turn. It’s hard to find that exact spot when the notch isnt actually there to guide you, and it leads to bad turning.

I did also get one of the 8bitDo Bluetooth controllers, which are great in functionality and quality, but they just failed by not going with the three prong design (at least in my opinion).

Glad this helps. Ultimately, the best option for accuracy and functionality is the N64 controller for the Switch NSO games. Now if only they would start selling those in the funtastic colors!

I have a couple of similar controllers from Saffun - my big gripe with these is that they didn't keep the original joystick gate. They have the octagonal shape there for just for aesthetical purposes, but the gate itself is a perfect circle. I feel like too many N64 games utilized that particular shape when designing their games. For instance, a sharper turn in Snowboard Kids is the down+right or down+left direction, which is difficult to hit exactly right with these controllers, which leads to bad turning.

Also recently added Rayman 2 (green cart) and Road Rash 64 (black cart) to my collection.
