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.

Inputs

  • 2 × digital shoulder buttons: 𝐋, 𝐑
  • 4 × digital buttons: 𝐀, 𝐁, sᴛᴀʀᴛ, sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ
  • 8 × digital directional buttons (d-pad): L ↑, L ↓, L ←, L →, R ↑, R ↓, R ←, R →

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

Raphnet-tech Virtual Boy controller to USB circuit

No drivers required. Implements a standard USB HID device.
Compatible with Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
Adapter has two configurations for the right D-Pad. Default: Right D-Pad as buttons. Holding the (sᴛᴀʀᴛ button when connecting the controller lets the right D-Pad control a pair of analog axis.

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.

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)

.

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.
