Yesterday afternoon, I was playing Mario vs. Donkey Kong on my Vision Pro (using the visionOS testflight version of app developer Riley Testut’s GBA4iOS) with an official Nintendo NES controller for the Switch. I’ve always felt the Game Boy Advance was peak handheld design, thanks to its clamshell form factor, and the Nintendo DS Lite wasn’t bad, either. While I haven’t used that one specifically, Sam Byford certainly liked it, writing for The Verge back in 2021 that it was better than the standard Switch Pro controller — plus, it’s got that cool SNES aesthetic.
