Retro Fighters Hunter BLUETOOTH EDITION Hits Kickstarter!
23Retro Fighters has continually raised the bar with new controllers for retro gaming systems. One of the best they have ever released is the Hunter 2.4GHz Wireless controller for the original Xbox and Nintendo Switch. They are back at it with a new version of the Hunter, and you can back it on Kickstarter. This is the Retro Fighters Hunter BLUETOOTH EDITION.
From a design standpoint, the 2.4GHz and Bluetooth editions of the Hunter are indistinguishable from each other. They each feature modern design queues, they maintain the same color scheme on the buttons as the original, and even have the Black and White buttons on the face. But it's what's inside that counts. From their Kickstarter Page:
Featuring wireless technology, hall effect analog triggers and sticks with premium grips. Wireless rumble, USB-C rechargeable battery, gyro, low latency all with a retro flair…Yup, it’s all there!
We wanted to make a retro-inspired low latency wireless Bluetooth controller that also comes equipped with Hall Effect sticks and triggers. Here is a full list of features that are baked into each gamepad:
- Hall Effect analog sticks – no drift, ever
- Bluetooth wireless technology
- Wireless rumble
- Premium textured grips
- Easy sync and setup
- Precision hall effect triggers
- Updateable firmware
- Precise and accurate D-pad
- Rechargeable batteries with 10+ hours per charge
- USB-C charging port
- Compatible with PC and Switch
- Wireless range of over 30 feet
The same technology we implemented with the analog sticks, we also baked into our triggers as well! Experience unparalleled accuracy with our hall effect triggers.
The Hunter Wireless Bluetooth Edition comes in 2 classic colors, Green and Blue.
After what I experienced with the 2.4GHz versions I can't see how these wouldn't be great controllers too. One bummer is that Microsoft has blocked non-licensed Bluetooth controllers from the Xbox Series X/S.
Do you plan on backing this Kickstarter Campaign? What system would you like to see Retro Fighters address next?
