Retro Fighters Game Controllers
Classic gaming on our retro hardware is more than just fun, it's nostalgic. Thanks to the recent influx of retro Flash Kits, we can now experience more than just commercial releases when we sit down to enjoy an intense retro gaming session. After hours of testing hacks, homebrews, and translations, the comfort of old controllers may come into question.
Retro Fighters is seeking to alleviate the pain our thumbs must endure with new controllers for classic systems. The first up will not only be USB (PC/MAC) compatible, but will also support the NES out-of-the-box. The controller will feature a soft rubberized grip, a modern d-pad, analog sticks, turbo buttons, and shoulder buttons which will be mapped to the A and B buttons. Please note that the current renderings show a mini-USB plug, the finalized production model will feature regular USB and not mini-USB.
There is a whole lot of alternative here to the current influx of cheap knock-off controllers floating among the sea of quality replacements. Like most projects, this concept has come to Kickstarter to seek its funding. The controller buy-in tier is currently at $30. Future plans include SNES, GEN, and N64 releases.
