Key points

Requires adapter to connect to PC.

Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.

Mode Button removed.

Inputs

2 × digital shoulder buttons:: 𝐋, 𝐑
7 × digital buttons: 𝐀, 𝐁, 𝐂, 𝐗, 𝗬, 𝐙, sᴛᴀʀᴛ
4 × digital directional buttons (d-pad): ↑, ↓, ←, →

Controller variations

In North America and Europe however, a different, much bulkier controller was released to supposedly accommodate for the "bigger hands" of western consumers. This "MK-80100" control pad is functionally identical to its Japanese cousin, but is slightly larger and has a peculiar concave D-Pad.

Sega 3D Control Pad

Often addressed as Sega Multi Controller.

The Control Pad saw an "upgrade" in the form of the 3D Control Pad, built as a response to the Nintendo 64's analogue joystick.

The 3D Control Pad has an added analog stick, a flip to switch between analog and non-analog mode, and has analog shoulder buttons instead of regular ones.^[1]

Inputs

1 × analog stick
2 × analog triggers: 𝐋, 𝐑
7 × digital buttons: 𝐀, 𝐁, 𝐂, 𝐗, 𝗬, 𝐙, sᴛᴀʀᴛ
4 × digital directional buttons (d-pad): ↑, ↓, ←, →

Use with PC platforms

Windows

XInput wrapping

Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.

Hardware

Mayflash SEGA Saturn Adapter

Direct Input (standard HID protocol) supports 2 controllers at the same time. Xinput (Xbox 360 protocol) supports one controller per individual adapter.

Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play.

Compatible with PS3 console.

Supports SEGA SATURN 3D Control Pad.

Bliss-Box Gamer-Pro

Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play.

Steam

Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.

Steam Link compatibility

Works natively over Mayflash Saturn Controller Adapter.^[2]

Joystick configuration is possible on Steam Link, but the button mapping menu is finicky, so it may require several tries.

Only one Gamepad works. May not work with some third-party controllers.

Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.

Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit Y and disable video and audio streaming.

Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.

Support In Games

Support for some controller features may be only available on certain systems. Refer to game-specific articles for details.

Games with Nintendo button prompts

Total number of games:

Error 1140: In aggregated query without GROUP BY, expression #1 of SELECT list contains nonaggregated column 'pcgamingwiki_cargo.cargo__Input._pageID'; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by (mysql01.mysql.pcgamingwiki-14662257-production.svc.cluster.local)

Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Query: SELECT `cargo__Input`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Input`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Infobox_game`,COUNT(*) FROM `cargo__Infobox_game` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__Input` ON ((`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageName`=`cargo__Input`.`_pageName`)) WHERE `cargo__Input`.`_ID` IN (SELECT `_rowID` FROM `cargo__Input__Other_button_prompts` WHERE `_value`LIKE 'Nintendo') ORDER BY `cargo__Input`.`_pageID`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID`,COUNT(*) LIMIT 100

.

The controller's button positions and colors, and the amount of buttons, differ considerably from those of other Nintendo controllers. As such, the list below should be treated with some caution.

Please note, that this is only list for games that offer Nintendo button prompts.

Some may require use of Switch Pro Controller emulation. Refer to game-specific articles for details.

Nintendo layout do not display 𝐂 and 𝐙 buttons which have to be assigned to Switch's ZL and ZR buttons. XInput layout do not display 𝐙 buttons at all, offers LB and RB buttons.
