Answer

If you have a 3rd party Xbox 360 controller that is Licensed by Microsoft, but you are unable to select it in the Mini Ninjas Game Options, we have found a solution.

Please be aware if the Registry Editor is used incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.

Solution:
1. Go to Start Menu>Settings>Control Panel>Game devices or Game Controllers
2. Look for the correct name of your controller e.g. "XUSB Gamepad (Controller)"
3. Run Regedit (Windows-Key + R  - type 'regedit.exe')
4. Search (Ctrl + F) for your controller name ( e.g. "XUSB Gamepad (Controller)" and replace with "XBOX 360 For Windows (Controller)"
5. Search & Replace again (3-4 times) until there are no more left in the Registry
