Episode Notes:
All games shown in this episode were captured while playing them with the M30.
The Bluetooth option costs $30 with an additional $20 needed for the Genesis receiver. The 2.4ghz version comes with its own receiver for $25.
Master System compatibility seemed flawless on everything I tried.
I picked up the Bluetooth receiver so I could use a wide variety of controllers with my Genesis. The PS4 tested awesome with it.
Battery life is exceptional. I am a good 20 hours since my first charge.
I've read some complaints of dropping signal. I have not had this happen once. It has been rock solid for me.
This controller could easily be used for the Sega Saturn as well if 8bitdo would do a receiver for it. Which of course, they need to do ASAP.
