8BitDo has started sending out its Classic Grey version of the 8BitDo 64 controller at the end of last month. This variant, which was first announced in November, is priced at $5 more than the Black and White models that were originally launched (curr. $39.99 on Amazon). Around this same time, 8BitDo also introduced eight ‘Funtastic Limited Editions’ featuring see-through shells, in line with an Analog 3D refresh.
Funtastic Editions Sell Out Fast
To summarize, the Analogue 3D Funtastic Limited Editions quickly sold out on their release day. Nearly two months later, 8BitDo continues to offer these Clear, Fire, Gold, Grape, Ice, Jungle, Smoke, and Watermelon editions on its website. Despite this, the company has announced that they will be releasing an additional five translucent 8BitDo 64 controllers next week.
New Prototype Limited Editions Coming Soon
In conjunction with another drop from Analogue 3D, the new Prototype Limited Editions are said to reflect the five colors that Nintendo originally tested for the Nintendo 64. 8BitDo plans to sell these new finishes—Atomic Purple, Extreme Green, Ocean, Ghost, and Glacier—starting at 16:00 UTC on February 9 via the 8BitDo Shop. As of now, 8BitDo hasn’t revealed any pricing or shipping dates. Yet, it is anticipated that the Prototype Limited Editions will be priced similarly to the Funtastic Limited Editions, which are $44.99 each.
