Looks like Dave is blasting off again!
It’s been a pretty wild month for Nintendo controllers. We not only discovered the rumoredNintendo NX contoller was a fake, but we also saw the release of Hori’sPokkén Tournament Pro Pad— a comfortable, responsive controller that struggles to justify its own existence due to its extremely limited library of compatible Wii U titles.
It works withPokkén Tournament, and that’s about it. No other Wii U fighting games, Virtual Console games, or Wii games through backwards compatibility will respond to the thing.
Still, the pad may be a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a new analog stick-free controller for Mac/PC. The creator of the upcoming multi-platform action titleSpace Davehasconfirmed with DestructoidthatthePokkénPro Pad is 100 percent compatible with his next game. Knowing that, we can safely guess the controller works with most Mac/PC games that don’t require dual stick controls, such asDownwelland the upcoming meat-focused grilling action puzzle gameSteven’s Sausage Roll.
So if you’re looking for a new SNES-style gamepad for your computer, you could do a lot worse than Hori’sPokkéncontroller, regardless if you ownPokkénor not.
