https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK6VCGBC">Pre-orders for the $40 controller[/url] are open now. It comes in black or white to match the Analogue 3D and it will ship on March 19.</p>
<p>The peripheral appears to be a version of <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="
https://www.engadget.com/what-we-bought-the-last-gamepad-ill-need-to-buy-for-switch-and-pc-140047518.html">8BitDo's Ultimate controller[/url], albeit with only one thumbstick and six control buttons on the face — A, B and the four C buttons. There are four bumper buttons and it appears that you can use either trigger in place of the original N64 controller's Z button (the peripheral is fully remappable thanks to 8BitDo’s Ultimate software).</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>
<p>In a nice nod to the controller's forebear, the thumbstick has an octagonal gate around it. The Hall effect sensor and wear-resistant metal joystick ring should help ensure there's very little chance of suffering from stick drift. The peripheral has a Rumble Pak built in too. This works with both the Analogue 3D and the Nintendo Switch. The 64 Controller is also compatible with PC and Android devices.</p>
<p>The original trident-shaped Nintendo 64 controller remains baffling nearly three decades later. Most people don't have three hands, Nintendo! So, for anyone looking to emulate a N64 game with a controller that actually makes sense, this looks like a strong contender.</p>
<p>Pre-orders for the Analogue 3D also opened on Monday. At the time of writing, <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="
https://store.analogue.co/">the black version is still available[/url]. Unfortunately, the console doesn't come with a controller, so if you need one, you'll have to buy it separately.</p>
