Product

One of the essentials for playing games is a controller.
There are a large number of controllers available for a single console, including OEM and third-party controllers, gamepads, arcade controllers, and more.
The long-established manufacturer " MAD CATZ," which has been resurrected in 2018, has also released a new product, and the trend is becoming quite hot.
However, to be honest, there aren't many acetate controllers that can be used with the Nintendo Switch.
For those who want to use Aceocons for Nintendo Switch titles such as Smash Bros. SP, Pokken, and Ultra Street Fighter II, we have some good news!
The " 8BitDo Arcade St ick," an arcade controller that can be used with the Nintendo Switch and PC, has been announced!
