Platform: SNES
Release Date: September 29, 2017
The Super NES Classic Edition has become a household must-have for all new and old gamers alike, featuring over 21 classic games including the never-released Star Fox 2! Unlike the NES Classic, the Super NES Classic includes two wired controllers with the same look as the old original controllers in a shorter cable length compared to its original build. It also comes in different color variants to match its respective region.
Importing can be difficult and costly especially when trying to obtain a preferred colored variant controller, luckily EMiO has released a new multi-purpose Super Gamepad controller that is a great addition to anyone’s playing experience.
Plug & Play
Just as the included Super NES Classic controllers, the EMiO Super Gamepad is easy-to-use and works well when plugged into the system. It features an 8-foot cable for a more flexible and comfortable playing experience, without having to worry about buying an extension cable or being so close to your TV. The Edge Super Gamepad is also compatible with the NES Classic Edition and can be used with your computer by using the included PC Adapter, supporting XInput and DirectInput.
The Edge Super Gamepad Controller also has a built-in Turbo function which can be individually programmed to enhance your gameplay and can be easily switched on or off for each button. The controller itself is very comfortable to use and resembles the European controller variant with its colorful button design.
What else is included?
In addition to the PC Adapter and Edge Super Gamepad Controller, it also includes a Super Cheat Codes Book which has tips and tricks for all of the 21 Super NES Classic Games and an overview of the original Super NES System. Each page found on the Super Cheat Codes Edition vividly describes each game with its unique illustrations and information provided to help you as you play each of the included classic games.
Final Thoughts
The EMiO Edge Super Gamepad Controller and Super Cheat Codes Edition is a great addition to the Classics line-up of accessories for its extra length in cable which the included controllers lack and can be used on the Super and NES Classic Systems, including your PC. My only complaint about the controller has to be the D-Pad for its very clicky when used, however, it works well and isn’t much of a problem but worth mentioning. With my time playing and testing the controller, I only experienced minimal input lag when playing each game.
The included Super Cheat Codes Edition is quite helpful especially for folks who’ve never played any of the original classic games and need assistance solving difficult tasks. Overall, the EMiO Edge Super Gamepad Controller and Super Cheat Codes Edition is a great product and definitely serves its purpose.
