Beleagured by the NES Classic Edition's short cables? Just bought a brand-new Nintendo Switch? You're in luck, as you can now play your retro console with the brand-new machine's controllers using a simple adapter.
8bitdo, peripheral purveyor and lover of retro gaming, has updated its Retro Receiver dongle for the NES Classic Edition to work with the Switch's unique Joy-Con handles, as well as the console's more conventional Pro Controller.
Designed to allow a variety of wireless controllers on Nintendo's shrunk-down classic gaming machine, the Retro Receiver also supports 8bitdo's line of Bluetooth-enabled pads, the Wii U Pro Gamepad, the Wii remote, and even PS3 and PS4 controllers.
Unlike the original NES Classic Edition gamepad, using the Switch's Joy-Con or Pro Controller on the Retro Receiver also allows for home button functionality - making it so you can switch between games or reload your Suspend Points without having to get up from the couch.
