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!
Versatile arcade controller with many useful functions
8BitDo Arcade Stick is a new arcade controller from 8BitDo, a company that sells controllers for various game consoles.
It is designed with respect for classic consoles, and its small size makes it a nice addition to any home.
In addition to key mapping, there is a dedicated macro button P1/P2 in the upper right corner of the controller.
You can create a controller profile and switch between them at any time.
A switch located in the upper left corner of the main unit allows you to switch between the Nintendo Switch and PC (X input) button layout s with a single touch.
This makes it convenient to switch instantly between the "8BitDo Arcade Stick" used on the Nintendo Switch and the PC.
There are three connection methods to choose from: Bluetooth,2.4GHz wireless connection, and wired connection using USB Type-C.
It is nice to be able to easily switch between them depending on the environment or situation in which you are using the device.
The receiver for the 2.4GHz connection can be stored in the main unit.
Of course, customization, which is one of the best parts of Aceocon, is also possible.
The buttons can be changed to 30mm/24mm buttons. The joystick is a universal joystick mounting plate, so it can be replaced with a wide range of joysticks of your choice, including those from Sanwa Denshi and HAPP style.
Release Date and Price.
"8BitDo Arcade Stick" is scheduled for release on October 20, 2020, priced at US$89.99.
It is currently available for pre-order on Amazon. com.
No announcement has been made about sales in Japan at this time, but many 8BitDo products are available in Japan, so expect them to be available in the future! Let's wait for further news!
