Hands On: 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller – Now With Extra N64 Energy
Colour me excited. When a review sample of the 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller was offered to me, I had to admit I wasn’t all that excited initially – after all, this is the same pad which shipped alongside the Analogue 3D, so I’m already intimately familiar with how it feels.
