The most pleasant surprise I had with my 8bitdo pro 2 is it works with my switch, PC and Steam deck with a flick of the dual. So in less than a few minutes I can switch from MK8 with 4 controllers, to Sonic All Star Racing on PC, then to Trine on the deck with the same 3 controllers.
For me, this controller (neo Geo pad) worked so much better than anything else out there at the time, short of an arcade stick. The directional pad is what I wish all others would at least attempt to do, rather than four individual buttons.
I'm looking forward to this one. I never knew anyone with a NeoGeo growing up. I never have even seen one in person. It'll be awesome to have have a more authentic experience.
I've never been more excited for new video game hardware since I was a kid, been begging for this for more than a decade. The superior directional input lives again!
