SNES30 Adds Bluetooth to Nintendo's Classic Controller

 

The SNES was one of the most successful consoles of all time, selling 49 million units worldwide. A small part of the success was down to a revolutionary controller. This was the first to offer the diamond of push buttons that all console controllers have today. For the SNES' upcoming 30th birthday, 8Bitdo have created a perfect replica of the controller with added Bluetooth and USB connectivity for cross-platform gaming. You can currently get the SNES30 for $34.95 shipped via the Popular Science Shop.
The SNES30 has the feel and responsiveness of the original, with an on-board CPU to stop lag. It works with PC, Mac and Android, plus iCade-compatible games on iOS, with dual-player support. Wiimote emulation allows up to four players to enjoy Virtual Console games, and the controller can even be used with touchscreen-only titles. It comes with a clip mount, which can hold any iPhone 4-sized device. This effectively turns your smartphone into a portable console, especially as the SNES30 is less than one inch thick. It runs on an internal rechargeable battery, which can last for up to 20 hours.
