Retro video gamers will soon be able to enjoy their eight- and 16-bit fun without the wires as gaming peripheral company Innex announces a full line of wireless controllers that are designed specifically for old-school video game platforms.
Retro-Bit announced its BIG6 controller that combines the design of the original 3-button SEGA Genesis controller with a 6-button layout.
For years retro gamers have wanted high quality wireless controllers. For the past few years 8bitdo has tried to fill that void with wireless DIY and controllers. But last year Retro-Bit showed off their officially licensed Sega controllers, both wired and Bluetooth controllers. John takes a look at the Retro-Bit official Sega Genesis and Saturn Bluetooth controllers. Are they worth your hard earned money? Let’s find out.
The release date has been revealed for the Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis and Sega Saturn Controllers, which are compatible with the original systems.
Skip these releases, grab a wireless 8Bitdo controller for your Genesis instead. Saturn is probably around the corner, too. 8Bitdo blows every retro third party accessory maker out of the water.
I want one, but by the time they are released I think the impulse will have passed. Would be pretty sweet to have for some nes/snes emulation though...
I had one for the NES, it wasn't light but it was cool looking. We got it right after getting the NES (keep in mind this was during the NES/Genesis Gen).
