Mysterious New Controller
Recently, the well-known X account Wario64 has pointed out an intriguing new controller from 8BitDo that is already available for preorder on Amazon. It’s priced at $69.99 and is simply called the ‘8BitDo Wireless Controller Bluetooth Gamepad.’ This controller is compatible with Android, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows.
No Image Yet
At this point, 8BitDo hasn’t even uploaded a picture of the controller in question. Still, they have hinted that it will come in purple, which is also the color of a version of the Ultimate 2 Wireless (currently $59.99 on Amazon). Therefore, we think it’s unlikely that this controller is a new variant of the Ultimate 2 Wireless.
Release Date
The Amazon listing reveals that 8BitDo plans to launch this secretive new controller on July 15. Interestingly, we haven’t been able to find the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN), B0FFGQ6J35, listed on any other Amazon sites except for Amazon US.
