8BitDo have been on a roll this year, launching an array of products that continues to excite retro gamers, one of my favourite releases being the Retro Mechanical Keyboard, but that could change as they have just revealed the 8BitDo 64 controller designed with inspiration from the Nintendo 64.

I appreciate that this exists. N64 controllers were super fucked up and I’ve encountered troubles getting an xbox style controller to work with emulation because the right thumbstick isn’t a good replacement for c-buttons.
I have a Sharkpad as a third party controller, bought as a kid all those years ago, and it is genuinely the most comfortable N64 I have used to this day. Simple modification but it was an absolute beast!
They were amazing at the time and now they feel completely weird in the hand. The knockoffs feel even worse. Hoping this one is good.
8bitdo controllers are great. I’d get one of their controllers over an official one anytime.
I don’t know, I think even back then PS1 and Saturn had the better controllers.
