I recently purchased the SNES online controller for my switch and I wondered if there was anyway through homebrew that I could connect it to my Wii U for games like Mario Maker?

it's probably possible, yes. I know that both the snes and nes nso controllers can connect to the pc without any additional hardware. however, the wii u either needs the toshiba bluetooth stack (this really messed up my other bluetooth devices) or the mayflash adapter (very much recommended). the mayflash adapter even works now that my bluetooth has gone out.

Is that their magicNS adapter? I've got that one but I don't know if it for a fact supports the snes online controllers?

I'm not sure. I have one of the snes controller connected to the built in bluetooth, without the adapter. my computer is still under warranty, so I need to get that fixed soon. I just hate not being able to use a mouse.

You could use the ones from the Snes mini classic.

They would be wired to the Wiimote in that case, not a huge deal, but I know some people care about truly being wirless, but that would work, though you then miss out on the RZ and LZ buttons that the SNES online controllers also have, though I suspect for most experiences on the Wii U that one would want an SNES controller for, they probably don't need the RZ and LZ buttons anyway.

I've been using a 8bitdo SN30 Pro controller with my Wii U through HID to VPAD homebrew app, but it only works with the USB cable and recognised as a Dual Shock controller. Didn't managed to connect it using the Bluetooth though and couldn't find a post about that yet. Any 8bitdo controller users that managed to connect the controller using Bluetooth?

    So true

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Sorry didnt read that part
