A new distributor means these will reach more stores as well.
There are several thousand different third party Nintendo Switch controllers out there; one that’s been there for a while has been 8BitDo’s range of controllers. Now the company is back with its next flagship controller.
The 8BitDo Pro 2 is the follow up to the Pro+ range and now comes with back paddles at the rear. Also new to the Pro 2 is the ability to switch profiles between three different consoles setups. No longer do you need the app to change them. As before, you can use this controller on the Switch, Android, iOS and PC.
There is an app included to set them up, and it now works on iOS and Android so that you can adjust profiles on the go. PC and Mac support is still there as well.
The 8Bitdo Pro 2 will be released in Australia from May 6th, and in New Zealand from June 6th. It’ll set you back AU$89.95 / NZ$99.95. There’s three colours G Classic, black and gray.
Going forward 8Bitdo controllers will stocked in more stores locally including JB Hi-Fi, EB Games, Big W (online only), The Gamesmen, Amazon, Catch and Mighty Ape.
