Kind of neat, although I personally would rather use an NES controller to play Super Gameboy games. In case you didn't know, the SNES controllers shares the exact same controller protocols as the NES controller, making them literally interchangeable. On an SNES, NES A and B are mapped to Y and B. On the NES, a SNES controller A and B are the NES A and B. Both controllers even share the same colored wires! |

I find it extremely interesting to note that an NES controller on an SNES sends the B and A inputs to SNES Y and B, but SNES B and A. This means that you can use an NES controller to play a great many SNES games, including Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars. I wonder if Nintendo ever toyed with the idea of releasing a Famicom controller for SNES? It would be internally identical. Only the plastic controller connector at the end would have to be different. You can make adjustments to use either Nintendo pad on either system, but the SNES controller swaps functions with one of the other wires. It still can work, but you'll just need to reverse the colors for two wires. If you're technically minded, you can read more here. http://pinouts.ru/Game/snescontroller_pinout.shtml |

Super Mario World wouldn't be too good with a NES controller, as you couldn't do the spinning jump thing. Super Mario All-Stars makes sense, of course, since they're just NES games anyway. |
