8BitDo has unveiled its $40 Analogue 3D controller, set to launch on March 19. Designed for the upcoming Analogue 3D console that supports 4K output, this controller is also compatible with the Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android devices.

This peripheral mimics a modernized version of the classic N64 controller, featuring one thumbstick and six face buttons, alongside four bumper buttons. The thumbstick's octagonal gate, Hall effect sensor, and a wear-resistant metal joystick ring are notable features aimed at preventing stick drift issues.

Additionally, it boasts a built-in Rumble Pak to enhance the gaming experience. Pre-orders for both the controller and the Analogue 3D console have started, though the console doesn't include a controller, necessitating a separate purchase if needed.
