One aspect of the NES Classic Edition that has caused some annoyance are the short cords that the controllers have. As a result, a third-party named 8bitdo has released a new version of its Retro Receiver, which is compatible with the NES Classic Edition. For getting the product, you get the Retro Receiver and 8bitdo’s “NES30” wireless controller. The latter looks just like an NES controller, but there’s 4 red buttons instead of 2. If that wasn’t enough, the Retro Receiver is Bluetooth-enabled, meaning you can use many other controllers for the device, including Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 controllers.
The product costs $39.99 and ships on December 16th.
Nintendo is doing a very good job with there new Nes Mini.
Apparently, with this wireless adapter, the WII U pro controller also works with it and (I think) the WIImote as well.
Kinda makes me wonder if it can be used as a normal classic controller for the WII allowing for PS3/PS4/WIIU controller on the original WII.
But man, 40 dollars? That’s only 20 dollars less than the entire NES Mini. I’m sick of controllers costing as much as games. Like those 60 dollar PS4 controllers. *sigh*
60 bucks for a PS4 controller is better than over a hundred for a brand new Gamepad. @.@ Let’s hope the controllers for Switch aren’t as pricey… But sadly, they probably will be…
I meant as pricey as PS4 controllers, not the Gamepad. @.@
It’s like those Acclaim NES wireless controllers happening all over again.
I saw this controller 1 year ago
here in norway
Playing NES games with a PlayStation 4 controller!? HERESY!!! lol
