    Define third party controller.

    I have my Steel Battalion controller, which was required for the game. Best controller and gaming experience I have ever had. Worth every penny.

    But does that count as a third party controller, especially since it can only play one game?

    Regarding controllers that are more generic, I have found 8bitdo’s Pro+ pretty good, but I am not fond of the joystick placement. I had an Xbox One knock off controller that had the layout of a WiiU Pro controller and I loved that, but it was wired only and that was disappointing. I had a Wii Classic controller that was styled like a WiiU Pro controller and I liked that too, but it was only a Wii classic controller, and couldnt be used on basically anything other than the Wii (the vapor console Coleco Chameleon used images of it for its controller).

      It’s technically 3rd party since it was not made by Microsoft. It also could be used in the follow-up to Steel Battalion, though wasn’t required for it so it was at least useful for 2 games :P

      I wish I kept mine. I could have converted it to a PC device quite easily.
