The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller is finally available for preorder on Amazon. This highly anticipated controller is designed to work with the Analogue 3D, a modernized take on the Nintendo 64, as well as the Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android devices. If you’re a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscriber, you’ll be excited to know that this new controller will offer a fresh way to play classic N64 games.
Controller Features

There’s also a start button, D-pad, and Z shoulder buttons, as well as a few additional buttons.
The controller supports Bluetooth wireless and wired USB-C connections, making it compatible with a range of devices. It also features D-Input and S-Input modes and will work with 8BitDo’s Ultimate Software on PC.
