Hold onto your gamepads, retro enthusiasts! The much-anticipated gray edition of 8BitDo's revamped N64 controller is back and ready to ignite your nostalgia! Dropping on January 30 for just $45, this beauty features the iconic color scheme that takes us back to the golden era of gaming in 1996 when the Nintendo 64 first burst onto the scene. This vibrant gray edition is the latest in line after the successful August launch of the 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller in sleek black and white versions, which retailed at $40. Sure, nostalgia comes at a $5 surplus, but folks, this gray edition is worth every penny!
The 8BitDo 64 isn't just visually stunning—it connects wirelessly to almost any device you can imagine: Analogue 3D, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PC, Apple, and Android, making it the ultimate cross-platform powerhouse! In collaboration with retro hardware maestros Analogue, 8BitDo has redesigned this controller to perfection. As the official controller for Analogue's cutting-edge FPGA console, Analogue 3D, it promises to bring your Nintendo 64 cartridges to life in amazing 4K resolution!
After overcoming hurdles and launch delays, the Analogue 3D is back in stock in sleek black and white for $270 straight from Analogue's digital storefront. Bear in mind, though, this top-tier console doesn’t come with a controller pre-packaged, and the 8BitDo 64 is your only wireless sidekick built for this mission!
