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.
