If you are a fan of retro gaming, you might be interested in one of the latest products from 8Bitdo, a company that specialises in wireless controllers for various platforms. To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Nintendo Famicom (FC) console, they have released the 8BitDo F40 Ultimate controller, a limited run piece that offers a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of gaming.
The F40 controller is compatible with Switch and Windows 10/11, and supports features such as six-axis motion sensing, vibration, and Switch motion controls. It also supports 8BitDo Ultimate Software, which allows you to customise the controller. The F40 controller has a unique design that mirrors the Famicom’s colours and golden metal hall effect joysticks. It also comes with a dock that houses a 2.4G Wireless adapter.
The F40 controller is not only a tribute to the Famicom console, but also a high-quality, high-performance controller that can enhance your gaming experience and is ideal for both retro-style and modern games. It comes with a certificate of authenticity, a faux leather case, a keychain, and four joystick caps as part of the limited edition set.
The controller is limited to 1983 units worldwide, so is quite a rare piece. I am adding this to my ever growing collection of 18 8BitDo controllers. If you want to see what’s in the box, check out my unboxing video below. I hope you enjoy this video and feel free to let me know what you think of the F40 controller in the comments.
