8BitDo SN30 Pro+ review — The best controller for Super Mario Maker 2

I’m always on the lookout for a great new gamepad. After gaming nonstop for more than 30 years, it’s one of the few things I feel like I’m an expert in. And I’ve learned that a decent third-party peripheral is rare. That’s changing, however, due to 8BitDo and devices like its new SN30 Pro+.

This is a modern-style gamepad that has all of the buttons, analog sticks, and D-pad that you would find on a DualShock 4. But unlike its standard SN30 Pro, which has all the same buttons, it has substantial handles to make it easier to hold.
