*PLEASE TELL ME SIR DID THE CONTROLLER BOX COME WITH A SEAL YOU HAD TO CUT/BREAK TO ACCESS THE CONTROLLER?????*
*IF NOT IT ISNT COLLECTABLE.*
*THIS IS A ISSUE I HAVE SEEN WITH "8BITDO" AND I AM EXTREMLY CURIOUS WHAT THE CASE IS THANKS.*
@@mgtowanonymous3120 this one did have taped down sides I had to cut through!
This has always been and will continue to be THE BEST gaming accessories channel, especially for the Nintendo Switch. One of my all-time favorite channels to watch.
@@A_Based_Entity dang thanks so much entity, it really means a lot to hear that! Appreciate you watching!!
Genki annnnnddd 8bitdo collab?! I’m intrigued 🧐
Always love the way you shoot your videos! Your attention to detail is super cool 🤘🏽
Thanks so much! It's also why my videos take too long LOL 5-Minute video that has like 100+ shots of b-roll 😢😢
This controller is SICK! Beautiful design from Genki and 8bitdo 🤘
Definitely a new favorite!
Before I even watch I am betting it's a great controller. I don't "simp" for companies usually but I absolutely love 8bitdo. I have yet to come across a bad product of theirs. For the price their products are top notch. I just hope they keep making great products and don't start taking short cuts to make more money like we see all the time.
Never simp but there's definitely some brands that have earned a positive reputation! These 2 being a great example!
@@itcamefromabox I get waht you mean. 8bitdo is just one of those companies thats reliable. I am not super familiar with Genki though.
@@x9x9x9x9x9 genki is much more of an innovator brand, they try new things a lot which got us those awesome dock adapters!
What about the zero 2 mini loo
@@Ksescel I love my zero 2 for 2D games, but the sn30 pro has those analog sticks which make a huge difference :0
Two reliable “Mainly” Switch product manufacturers collaborating together. I might not buy nor do I need it but you love to see it❤.
@@pinapple9999 agreed!! More collabs!!
Love the prints on the controller!!
Right?!??
I am loving the active yt content ❤️ btw gamepad looks good in this transparent look
Thanks so much! I work so I can't always post but I'm trying my best to make it weekly! HAULED episodes take the longest though lol
@@itcamefromabox yes and i appreciate your work you put in the video bro ❤️ a simple request if you can please make a video on what's in my backpack ( packed video ) btw love from india ❤️ we Indians love tech 😂
This control is fantastic
I knowww!!
Thanks for the link to the kickstarter! I'm buying everything! The bag, the charger, the controller and the steam deck clip thing 😂😂😂 if they don't pull it off, I'll never invest in them again
@@smaao they have a good track record of putting out their products and this campaign is already fully funded so it’ll get to you
@iamchip good to know, definitely copping. I am weary on the steamdeck clip thing. I mean I do want my windows game on there easily looool
Out of all the kickstarters I've bought into, theirs are the ones I have the most confidence in!
thanks for the review, man!
@@Hrupix no problem! Appreciate you watching!!
the xbox sn30 with the phone clip actually does have analogue triggers while still having a low profile, but doesn't have other things like a wired mode, rumble, gyro, etc.
I probably woulda jumped on the Genki one if they managed to cram all those things together
oh dang, I have that one but havent opened it yet :O ill check it out but if thats the case, very surprising they didnt include it in newer models 🤔🤔
looks great, might get it as i was considering the 8bitdo pro
The pro's a favorite for on-the-go!
@@itcamefromabox is it still good for 3d games?
@@Bulbmin64Yes, the dual analog sticks are a massive upgrade for that!!
@@itcamefromabox thanks alot, 100% sold on it
Me: I don't need another controller.
Also me: *sees this
*pulls out credit card
That's me every month! 😭😭😭
It’s the ergonomics for me. Wish it had some wings or something similar to get a better grip.
This is their portable version but 8bitdo also has the SN30 Pro+ which specifically tackles ergonomics :D
@@itcamefromabox and that’s exactly the one I use with my Steam Deck!
@@iamchip Yeah, did you see the new colors?! I'm gonna share on the channel soon!
@@itcamefromabox I didn’t! And here I am needing another…
They should get you an affiliate link!
Very intrigued
That's what I said!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
🥳🥳🥳🥳🎅🎅
@@ItCameFromAVlog wait! You have a vlog channel too?!! Subscribed!
I’m surprised they didn’t try and give it some of the features of the pro 2 possesses, I admit the back buttons wouldn’t do any good, but the least they could’ve done, was given access to the Ultimate Software so you can program it on the fly……
@@Toxic3610 yeah I think this is as simple as a reskin so they wouldn't rack up a huge manufacturing bill. The ultimate software I'm still surprised by, I really hope release software that works with all their devices in the future
Same parts as the Hall Effect SN30 Pro. Wish they changed the inner parts a bit more.
Yeah I know this is definitely just a reskin. I'm guessing it would take much longer to change those things :(
Now Genki need to collaborate again and make special Funtastic versions of the new 8BitDo N64 controllers...
Love the video as usual Nephew Uncle JD approves lol
thanks uncle, we love you ✌!!
Awesome video! If you could answer, are they triggers in the back or buttons?
@@HockeyPlayer323 they are digital triggers with a low travel distance!
Wish it was in the Ultimate form factor.
8bitdo just released more transparent colors so I'm expecting they'll probably do something similar soon!!
Perrrty.
@@jakesmith5278 is real gooodddd
I gotta know! Compared to the SN30 Pro are we seeing any real functional difference? Plastics making it more snappy on controls? Maybe a softer plastic making this easier to hold compared to the classic SN30 Pro or the Retro SNES style SN30 Pro?
No sir, this is definitely more of a collectible! If you don't care about that and want the best functionality, i'd consider the Hall Effect SN30 Pro instead!
I like it no letters ehehehe
Down with letters!!
no analog L2 R2 is a bummer. Their xbox cloud gaming controller similar to this pocket controller does have it
I heard! I have it but haven't opened it yet! I'm shocked by that :O
I think it's time to replace my SN30 Pro
@@zandatsu07 that's what I said lol
It needs a grip as my hands would've taken cramps 😞
Check out their sn30 pro+ in the new colorways!! One of our favorite controllers!!
it'd be nice in white pcb board
@@ronniegonzalez7870 oh that would of been awesome!
I bought the CRKD Atom but damn do I want this too
EDIT: I caved in and PLEDGED for one of these controllers lol
It's honesty the most beautiful one I own right now LOL
@@itcamefromabox looool I blame you for showing off its beauty and interesting looks 😭😭😭
WOAH!1!1 This Color is amazing, It's Ultimate SN30 PRO. :)
That's what I'm sayingggg!!
8bitdo has an sn30 variant with analog triggers
@@accountpc4311 I know, so crazy 😭
Ohhhhhhhhhh, it's "Sergio am".
lolll I don't know why it took me so long to add titles whenever I say my name 🤣🤣
2:31 What SF game is that on Switch? Is it from the Anniversary Edition? Because there's no borders.
Yes, I stretched it out 'cause it looked odd in the footage D:
@@itcamefromabox So that's indeed the 30th anniversary edition?
Is this the same Genki as Tokyo Extreme Racer?
Nice design. I have mine SF30 Pro for like 5 years before it become totally broken and now 8bitdo only releasing grey and transparent versions of it, not like "SNES-colored" as it was on the start.
They released a few transparent versions of this SN30 Pro before and they're releasing new transparent colors of the SN30 Pro+ soon too! Oh, there's also a new NES inspired pad in a transparent black! So i'm hoping this means we'll get much more like that from now on :O
This thing only works with Nintendo switch or what systems/consoles?
@@ricenbeenz... Multi platform compatible!
@itcamefromabox it should work on PlayStation then?
The rubber on those sticks are not very durable. I have the SN30Pro American SNES lavender version.
I haven't had that issue long term because I have slightly sweaty hands so I have to put thumb grips on all my sticks T_T BUT i'm all for them using diff rubber!
@@itcamefromabox
All gamepad sticks should have solid plastic with diamond pattern texture on the outter ring of the stick's head. So it would never wear off and you could still use rubber thumb grips if you like.
Am I right?
why does this need a differrent name? its literally just the sn30pro
@@maxisenberg9093 but it’s transparent, has unlabeled buttons and has genki’s Hall effect analog sticks.
It's a collab name but on the back of the controller it says it's an sm30 pro!
Anyone know of HoYo games and wuwa on mobile iOS work?
I don't need it, i don't need it, i definitely don't need it, i don't need it.
Power to you brother 💪💪
How pocketable is this
its about the same size as the SNES gamepad so, pretty pocketable!
Thanks for this video! I was on the fence about backing this campaign as I wasn't sure what the difference was between this controller and the previous 8Bitdo ones. Do you plan on getting their SSD, either backing it or having Genki send you one for review? I'm still confused as to how exactly that technology is supposed to work in that you can carry your games across platforms with what appears to be a magsafe strip.
Yes definitely will!! I'm backing the bag and SSD for my steam deck! But I'll try to get my hands on all of them to review the line on here 👍👍 The kickstarter will save you money but they will sell everything online afterwards so don't fomo buy off you don't have to
Ever consider doing reviews? Or would that affect companies sending you free stuff for criticism?
Not at all! I purchase a majority of the stuff on the channel but the few brands that have sent me stuff never tell me or suggest what I should say. I just reviewed the CRKD Nitro Deck+ but I don't think i'm good at it lol My reviews take a while and they don't get many views D:
Not Iiking the face buttons, otherwise seems nice
They feel good in use but they labeling situation is always rough for multi-platform gamepads :O
They needed a kickstarter for a controller that's been designed for years already?
No, Genki makes yearly Kickstarters to launch their new line of products. Not 100% why but i'm guessing they're used to it now since they've been doing it for a while! This year they have 4 new products and this is just 1 of them!
I know 8bit do, but who is genki?
@@bigjake360t Genkis been a tech accessory brand that's made a ton of awesome Nintendo switch stuff, really top oh the line and innovative!
Seventh!
#7!!!
So it's just an SN30 pro that costs 10 more dollars?
Yes, the GENKI collaboration is just the color scheme design GENKI designed
@@danzoEX
NOPE. THATS NOT JUST WHAT IT IS.
ITS THE FIRST SNES STYLE CONTROLLER WITH RUMBLE.
THIS THING WAS COMICALY UNDER PROMOTED.
THESE WOULD SELL FOR COMICAL NUMBERS ON EBAY.
THERE IS NO VIDEOS ON THEM AND NO EBAY LISTINGS
PRETY INSANE TO ME
SUCH A BIG FAIL LIKE THIS I HAVENT SEEN IN A WHILE
YOU CAN EASILY RE SELL THESE 300 A PIECE MINIMUM
THEY ARE SEE THROUGH SNES STYLE CONTROLLERS WITH RUMBLE HALL EFFECT AND BAD AZZ SCHEMATICS ART ON THE FRONT LAYED OUT
I CANT GET OVER IT
ILL HOLD MINE TIGHTLY
THEY WILL BE WORTH MOTHERLODES DOWN THE ROAD MORE THAN THEY ARE RIGHT NOW
MARK MY WORDS.
🤷🏻♂️🙃🤷🏻♂️
Non-analog triggers = no buy
definitely something worth knowing!
we need sf30 pro again. kickstarter things are scam most of the time.
It's always a risk on Kickstarter but Genki has been very reliable so far! Either way, if you don't want to risk it, they'll eventually sell the full line online :D
Not even five seconds in and you got the company’s name wrong. Not watching a whole video of that
I've gone through 8bit-doe and 8bit-doo, there's info supporting both sides but the most recent was their speaker which pronounced it as "doe" which makes sense when you consider they make a lot of NintenDOE-like products. But more importantly, it's really odd how much that bothers you 🤔🤣 we love you nonetheless slick so i'll bring up your comment the next time as we pronounce it as DOO
Nah, he actually got it RIGHT. Everyone else pronounces it wrong. lol
