In recent years, past masterpieces have been made available on various platforms for easy play, and many people would like to use a controller in a form similar to the original to play the game with the same feeling as back then.
8BitDo, a device manufacturer that produces many unique products for nostalgic enthusiasts, now offers a design and base that is very similar to the game console controllers of the past.
We recently introduced a six-button gamepad that is perfect for playing Mega Drive and Sega Saturn. Now, a new gamepad is on the way, perfect for use with NEOGEO titles with an official SNK license!
Perfect for Games of SEGA GENESIS and SEGA SATURN! 8Bitdo M30 2.4G Wireless Gamepad with 6-Button Layout Is Now Available!
Wireless Controller with Perfect Recreation of NEOGEO CD
8BitDo NEOGEO Wireless Controller is a wireless controller that faithfully reproduces the NEOGEO CD controller.
This controller is perfect. It was redesigned from the ground up over a period of three years.
This controller is officially licensed by SNK as it contains SNK's copyright.
It is called 'Perfect Recreation' for a reason. For example, the NEOGEO CD controller had a unique click-style on the joystick, and even that has been successfully reproduced!
Although the NEOGEO mini PAD also replicated the design of the NEOGEO CD controller, the joystick did not click, but rather felt smooth, which was a little disconcerting for the NEOGEO CD generation.
With the 8BitDo NEOGEO Wireless Controller, you can experience that unique clicking sensation and relive the feeling of playing NEOGEO CDs back in the day, without the long loading times!
The great thing about 8BitDo is that while the design is a perfect recreation, the content is state of the art. The turbo function, the button layout swap and the addition of the LR button make it easy to use even with non-NEOGEO titles.
It also supports Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, as the name 'Wireless Controller' implies, freeing you from the hassle of wires.
A wired connection via USB Type-C is also possible, so you can use it with the NEOGEO mini!
KOF Limited Edition Eesigns Available Mid-August!
The 8BitDo NEOGEO Wireless Controller will be available on August 15, 2023 for USD 34.99.
Pre-orders are available now at Amazon.com.
Supported platforms are Windows, Android and NEOGEO mini.
In addition to the basic Black Edition, the 8BitDo NEOGEO Wireless Controller comes in several special editions with designs of popular SNK characters!
Iori Yagami Edition, Mai Shiranui Edition, Terry Bogard Edition, and Kyo Kusanagi Edition, each featuring Iori Yagami, Mai Shiranui, Terry Bogard, and Kyo Kusanagi from the KOF '97 era, for USD 39.99. Pre-orders are also available now.
Recently, with the Prime Gaming service offering classic NEOGEO games and the ACA NEOGEO available for Android, it has become easier and easier to play NEOGEO games.
Since it is difficult to control the NEOGEO with a touchpad or keyboard and mouse, and the arcade controller is a bit overkill, the wireless 8BitDo NEOGEO Wireless Controller allows you to experience 100 MegaShock anytime, anywhere!
