As far as I can tell, the improvements to 8bitdo came in a newer version of fwupd than exists in 16.04.
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/commit/0abde9c39ab18cfa2dec0e651b741ea59acbf519#diff-504d274506bc17713c5afaf24682f7ae
and many others.

Backporting newer fwupd to Ubuntu 16.04 is not however a trivial effort
due to other challenges.  I would recommend that you try to run the
update from a live USB stick for Ubuntu 17.10 which contains a newer
fwupd.

  When listing devices I get:
  %fwupdmgr get-devices

  Checking the lvfs web page I see that there is newer versions
  available. https://fwupd.org/lvfs/device/8baed357-638e-
  5b54-b582-0476bf7d6348

  However when I run the update, I get this output:
   % fwupdmgr --verbose update 
  Downloading 4.01 for SFC30 Joystick...
  Updating 4.01 on SFC30 Joystick...
   * Decompressing firmware
  Retrying as an offline update...
  usb:00:01 is already scheduled to be updated

  After this command if I list the devices, I get this output:
