I’ll be honest: one look at the 8BitDo 64 Controller and I was sold on it. Styled in the colors of a classic Nintendo N64 pad — albeit with the ergonomics brought up to modern day standards — the 8BitDo 64 is all about sheer mid-90s nostalgia.
The ergonomics aren’t the only update, though. The 64 uses USB-C and Bluetooth, making it compatible with PC, Switch, Switch 2 and Android. Importantly, it’s also available in a 2.4G version that’s compatible with the original N64 (via a dongle). Meanwhile, both the Bluetooth and 2.4G versions work with the Analogue 3D — a retro console that plays original N64 cartridges. So, yes: you can play Mario Kart 64 and GoldenEye with this thing.
