NES Controller Compatibility Index

Edit: Just to clarify, the spreadsheet indicates compatibility for the official Nintendo NES controllers for Switch only, those using original NES hardware may have a different experience due to lack of L&R buttons.

I’ve been enjoying my NES controllers in a multitude of games recently (despite Nintendo’s claims they would only work with the NES app), but it’s hard to find info on how well a game supports these controllers before purchasing it, that’s why I tested most of the games in my library and drafted out the [NES Controller Compatibility Index](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kGnA5EWez8OT5w00OdYo19eUcRs_iHWNtPBvZJkra6g/edit?usp=sharing).

It’s a simple google docs spreadsheet detailing how well a game works with the NES switch controllers. I don’t own every game on Switch unfortunately, so maybe this could be a community effort. Feel free to request info on a game below if it’s not already in the index and if I or any other NES controller owners happen to have the game we can reply to that post with our findings and I’ll add that info to the index.
