As we all know by now, the Switch has been a massive success for Nintendo. Despite some of the reservations around the time of the unveil pertaining to what seemed like a gimmicky controller setup, Switch is for the most part a massive win for gamers as well. However, some of us still prefer the more classic D-pads for certain games. There is just something about the classic NES/SNES-style setup that just continues to be the ideal input mechanism for fighters, some 2-D platformers and other archetypical 90’s era experiences.
Thankfully, one of the bigger players in the third party controller game is looking to provide us with a simple solution. 8Bitdo makes loads of awesome vintage-inspired controllers and is now pushing out firmware updates packed with Nintendo Switch support…
