The company motto of 8Bitdo declares, “Everything old is new again.” Well, the company has certainly lived up to this promise with its new NES30 Arcade Stick.
Anyone familiar with classic Nintendo home gaming systems will automatically recognize the NES30 Arcade Stick as part of that much-beloved tradition. Although substantially larger than the Nintendo controllers of old, the essential design elements are all the same. In fact, you can think of the 8Bitdo NES30 Arcade Stick as a classic Nintendo controller blown up to the scale of a full-size arcade control console. Featuring a joystick and eight ergonomically placed buttons, this device is ideal for complicated, button-centered games such as Ultra Street Fighter.
Although nostalgia may have a small part to play in the video game world, no new gaming product will get far if it doesn’t keep pace with the latest in technological advancements. The versatile 8Bitdo NES30 Arcade Stick is designed for compatibility with all of your modern devices. It can easily pair with your laptop/desktop computer, your various mobile devices, and your Nintendo Switch through wireless Bluetooth, X-input, or D-input connectivity. You can even employ an included USB cable to use the NES30 Arcade Stick as a wired device. And with the Arcade Stick’s rechargeable 480mAh Li-on battery, you can enjoy 18 hours of uninterrupted game play on just 30 minutes of charging time.
