Priced at $44.99, these Funtastic Editions sit at the same point as November's Classic Gray release, representing a $5 premium over the original Black and White models. For those looking for the standard options, the Black and White 8BitDo 64 controllers remain available on Amazon for $39.99.
More Than Just a Pretty Face: Universal Compatibility
Like their siblings, these controllers are far from one-trick ponies. While they are perfectly styled for the upcoming Analogue 3D, their functionality extends far beyond. They offer full compatibility with Android devices, Windows PCs, and both the current Nintendo Switch and the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Connection is a breeze via Bluetooth, with a reliable wired USB-C mode also included for lag-free gaming or charging while you play.
