Let me play Cave Story+ on Switch with the NES controller! 😤

@evie my understanding was that the NES controller acted as a pro controller with some buttons and sticks missing, doesn't it?

@noiob kinda???
Like, I can navigate the menus in Cave Story and even start the game no problem but as soon as you get to the actual PLAYING part literally no button works

@evie that kinda sucks, I wish the NES controllers were less of a gimmick. A lot of games could be a lot of fun with them (and a bunch just work)

@noiob Cave Story would be so good with NES controllers
Downwell works extremely well at least

@evie that's neat, I wonder if Celeste works, it has remappable controls so it should work well

@noiob yeah, I feel with games that have button remapping it'll probably work just fine
Shovel Knight would be another awesome one I feel
