I love this game! It&#8217;s actually the only Metroid game I&#8217;ve ever played. This wireless gamepad is a recent purchase. There was no name at all on the package. I got it on Ali Express for something like 1500 yen. It comes with a dongle to plug it into the SFC\/SNES Mini or you can take out the USB WiFi receptor and use it with your PC. Ali Express claimed that it&#8217;s compatible with RetroPie, but I couldn&#8217;t get it to recognize it. Steam didn&#8217;t like it, either. Maybe because I was using the wire? The wire is for charging the controller. Maybe it&#8217;s not meant for gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My goal is to hack this Mini console to add more games to it, especially shmups since it does not come with a single shmup! Not even Gradius III! I&#8217;m making a list of games like Area 88 and Macross to add to this. I found a page saying that the program used to hack it can actually be used in Linux, so hopefully I won&#8217;t have to get out my grodie Win10 SSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t played Super Metroid for about 15 years or more.
