Pre-orders are up
That lovely-looking NES30 arcade stick from 8Bitdo isup for pre-orderahead of an July 20, 2025 release. It’s $80 on Amazon and supports wireless play via Bluetooth, USB, D-Input and X-Input functionality, and easy modding. The company clocks the battery life at 18 hours.
While the stick is aimed at Switch owners, it’s also compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android.
What about games? Aside fromUltra Street Fighter II, there’s an awful lot of Neo Geo titles coming out that’d make good use of an arcade stick. Just today we gotAero Fighters 2,Gunbarich, andStrikers 1945.
I haven’t settled on which8Bitdo controllerI want to get, but I’m leaning toward the SNES pads.
