TL;DR: Go back to your childhood with the Gbros. Wireless Adapter for Nintendo Switch for $14.99, a 25% savings.


There's no denying the Nintendo Switch is innovative as heck, allowing you to *switch* between playing as a handheld device and a console. But with all these modern eccentricities afloat, it really makes you miss the days of playing old-school Donkey Kong with your friends or smashing your siblings in Super Smash Bros. on the consoles and controllers of yesteryear.

With the Gbros. Wireless Adapter for Nintendo Switch, you can teleport back to those magical days and use your traditional wired controllers from old consoles. Compatible with wired GameCube, Wii Classic, NES Classic, and SNES Classic controllers, you can enjoy your favorite games just like you did in the good old days, but through your modern-day device.

Check it out:

Using Bluetooth, the adapter allows your controller of choice to be used with the Switch in both portable and docked mode. And in the docked mode, you'll have up to a 33-foot range. The adapter even features a copy of the home and screenshot buttons from the Switch, as well as a button for toggling between Nintendo and Windows modes.

Add a retro twist to your Switch gaming experience with the Gbros. Wireless Adapter, which is currently 25% off. Get it now for just $14.99.
