There's Better Options | 8bitDo 64 Controller Review
77The 8BitDo 64 Controller is a modern take on the classic Nintendo 64 gamepad, built for the upcoming Analogue 3D console but also compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Windows PC, and Android devices.
In this review, I talk about using it on multiple platforms, diving into its Hall Effect joystick, quick button swap feature, build quality, and even tear it down . I also compare it directly to the Retro Fighters Brawler64 NSO Edition to see which N64-style controller offers the better experience for Nintendo Switch Online N64 games.
Whether you’re an N64 enthusiast, Analogue 3D early adopter, or just looking for a wireless N64 controller for retro gaming, this review covers what you need to know before buying.
