Retro-Bit’s 2.4Ghz Wireless Pro Now Available for Pre-Order!This morning, the folks at Retro-Bit announced pre-order availability of their long-awaited 2.4 Ghz “Wireless Pro” Controller . Designed as an ideal solution for playing Saturn ports and retro-style games on the Nintendo Switch & PC, Saturn fans can also pair it with real hardware using a special 2.4Ghz receiver. OFFICIAL RELEASE TRAILER : The Wireless Pro controller features a slightly larger design than a standard Saturn pad, in order to accommodate all of the necessary components, and it’s just a bit heavier due to the inclusion of lithium ion battery and dual rumble motors. That said, it actually feels quite nice in the hands! As a licensed collaboration with SEGA, the pads will carry the SEGA SATURN branding and logo.  Changed from last year’s volume sensor-based Alps sticks, is the inclusion of HALL EFFECT analog sticks that should ensure greater longevity and higher input accuracy over time and many play sessions. These sticks come in a low-profile form factor similar to Switch’s Joy Con sticks, and they occupy a recessed area at the bottom of the pad so they won’t be easily snagged or beat up when throwing the pad in a backpack or pocket. Saturn fans wanting to play any 3D Analog compatible games (such as NiGHTS for example) , will simply hold down Start + B for 5 seconds to put the left stick into 3D analog mode!  The Wireless Pro also includes four DIGITAL shoulder triggers (R, L, ZR & ZL) .  It also comes with a USB receiver that will enable compatibility with PC, Mac & ‘other USB devices’.  The 500mAh Lithium Ion battery is rechargeable via USB-C connector.  Official packaging will accurately mimic both the original US & PAL design language.   The Wireless Pro controller is currently slated for a December 2023 release, and you can pre-order it NOW from both US & European retailers at an MSRP of $49.99 & €49,99 respectively.
