It added X and Y buttons to the A and B pair from the NES and put L and R shoulder buttons on top, a layout that controllers from nearly every company later followed. On the US version, X and Y are concave and A and B are convex, so you can tell them apart by feel. The rounded shape sits comfortably through long sessions of Super Metroid or Chrono Trigger, and the plus-shaped D-pad is precise enough for Street Fighter II Turbo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGames that use every button\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of Super Nintendo games need all six buttons plus Start and Select. Street Fighter II Turbo spreads three punches and three kicks across the face and shoulder buttons, Super Mario Kart uses the shoulder buttons to hop around corners, and Super Metroid lets you aim diagonally with L and R. Two-player games like Contra III, NBA Jam and Secret of Mana need a second controller, and this one plugs into either port. The cable is attached, so there are no batteries or pairing involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to check on a used controller\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress each button and roll the D-pad through every direction to make sure it responds without sticking. Look along the cord for kinks or splits near the plug and where it enters the controller. Shell color can differ from one controller to the next, since years of light change the plastic. The listing is for one controller, and it works with the original Super Nintendo and the 1997 redesign. It does not plug into the SNES Classic Edition, which uses a different connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuper Nintendo controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuper Nintendo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eController\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWired, plugs into either controller port on a Super Nintendo console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWorks with\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Super Nintendo and the 1997 SNES Jr. model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill this controller work with the SNES Classic Edition?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The SNES Classic uses a smaller connector made for its own controllers.
