Nintendo controller region locking

[Shozuki]

Hi all,

Does the AV Famicom and SNES Mini have region locking on the pads like the SNES?

Thanks!

SNES pads have region locking, what?

Yep.
But you can use PAL SNES pads on a SFC, for example.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure you can use an NTSC-U SNES Joypad (2-tone Purple Buttons) on a PAL SNES also.

I use a pal pad on my US machine.

You c use NES pads on an AV Famicom and I'm 90% sure region doesn't matter.

Wow. Never knew that. Although it's been a long time since I owned a SNES.
