If you’ve been loving Sonic<\/a><\/strong> and Thunder Force IV<\/a><\/strong> on your Switch lately, you might be interested to learn that 8Bitdo \u2013 makers of many a fine controller \u2013 are releasing a Sega-inspired pad which will no doubt become the interface of your dreams.<\/p>\n

Based on the design of the fantastic 6-button Genesis \/ Mega Drive pad, the M30 isn’t a ‘new’ product as such \u2013 we already know it’s launching alongside the forthcoming Analogue Mega Sg<\/a> \u2013 but the confirmation that this pad is also<\/em> compatible with Switch is welcome.<\/p>\n

The M30 launches on February 28th, and is available for pre-order now, with a price of $29.99. It’s also compatible with PC, Mac and Android, and comes with ‘Home’ and ‘Screenshot’ buttons, and a battery (charged via USB-C) which lasts for 20 hours. Not too shabby, eh?<\/p>\n

That’s not all; 8Bitdo is also releasing a new Retro Receiver for the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive. Costing $19.99, this Bluetooth adapter slots into the 9-pin controller port on your original 16-bit console and allows you to use the M30 \u2013 as well as your PS4, Xbox One, Switch Pro, Wiimote and Wii U Pro controllers, as well as all other 8Bitdo pads. It also ships on February 28th.<\/p>\n
