TL;DR: Experience the ultimate throwback with the 8BitDo® SN30 Bluetooth Gamepad for $23.99, a 20% savings.


Nostalgia is in these days (for better or worse) and everybody's trying to capitalize on the commercial potential of the millennial need to revel in the past. Case in point: this 8BitDo® SN30 Bluetooth Gamepad.

It's no secret that console controllers have gotten progressively wackier over the years, with more frills at the expense of function. Sometimes, you just want to go back to the good old days when controlling Mario was as simple as pressing two buttons and a D-pad.

8BitDo® focuses specifically on building retro-themed game controllers, and the SN30 Bluetooth Gamepad is designed to look and feel like the classic SNES controller. It's compatible with Windows, Android, Mac, Steam, and Raspberry Pi systems as well as — wait for it — Nintendo Switch. Yes, you can play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on a SNES controller. Oh, and it's Bluetooth-compatible so you can play games on your mobile device, as well. The controller is powered by a 480mAh rechargeable li-ion battery, providing 18 hours of gameplay on a single charge and powers back up in just one to two hours.

Start playing your games in old-school style. The 8BitDo® SN30 Bluetooth Gamepad is on sale for 20% off at just $23.99. It's available in red, yellow, and green.
