Wait 5 sec.

The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller is on sale for the first time at Amazon. Released at the end of July, the reimagined N64 wireless controller is discounted to $30.57 (was $40). Only the white edition is available for this price; the black edition has been harder to find in stock, but Amazon restocked it today for full price.Though designed in partnership with retro hardware manufacturer Analogue, the 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller also works wirelessly on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PC, and Android. To sync the controller to Switch 2, you'll likely need to download a firmware update. If you're a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscriber, the new controller offers a cool way to play classic N64 games.The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller was revealed alongside the Analogue 3D last October. Analogue's 4K Nintendo 64 has been delayed three times and is expected to launch Q4 2025.Amazon also has deals on the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller and the recently released 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad. Both controllers work on Nintendo Switch 1/2, PC, Apple devices, Android, and SteamOS. If you don't need Nintendo console support, you can get an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 for $53. What is the Analogue 3D?The Analogue 3D is the premium retro hardware manufacturer's next FPGA console. Unfortunately, preorders for the $250 console sold out last October, so interested retro gamers will want to keep an eye on potential restocks after the console launches in Q4 2025.The console lets you play your original N64 game cartridges with hardware-accurate emulation and 100% compatibility in up to 4K resolution. The console has four controller ports for real Nintendo 64 three-prong controllers or third-party wired controllers. It does not come with a controller, though, so you'll want to grab an 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller or another controller or two.Preowned N64 controllers are available to purchase at GameStop. Alternatively, you can buy one of the many clones of the original controller on Amazon for cheap.Sign up for GameSpot's Weekly Deals Newsletter:
