Peripheral maker 8BitDo has revealed when you’ll be able to get your hands on its 64 Controller. This is designed to work with the upcoming Analogue 3D, a remake of the Nintendo 64<\/span> that will support 4K output. Pre-orders for the $40 controller<\/span> are open now. It comes in black or white to match the Analogue 3D and it will ship on March 19.<\/p>\n

The peripheral appears to be a version of 8BitDo’s Ultimate controller<\/span>, albeit with only one thumbstick and six control buttons on the face \u2014 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\u2019s Ultimate software).<\/p>\n

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>\n

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>\n

Pre-orders for the Analogue 3D also opened on Monday. At the time of writing, the black version is still available<\/span>. Unfortunately, the console doesn’t come with a controller, so if you need one, you’ll have to buy it separately.<\/p>\n
