As a big fan of retro gaming, I’m super excited about this! Apparently, Analogue spent over a year perfecting the colors for this new release, and they teamed up with 8BitDo to make them look just like the original Funtastic controllers. They’re releasing eight awesome colors – Jungle, Ice, Watermelon, Fire, Grape, Clea, Smoke, and even a Gold one that’s inspired by the super rare Toys R Us N4 console that collectors like me are always hunting for! And the best part? 8BitDo is making their controllers in all the same colors, which is perfect!

Honestly, as a huge gamer, it feels impossible to stay on top of everything these days! There’s just so much information – patch notes that go on forever, endless discussions on Reddit, developer updates, and then trying to watch streamers… I always feel like I’m missing something important. That’s why I’m so excited about AI summarizers. They’re like having a personal assistant who sifts through all the chaos and just gives me the important stuff, which is a lifesaver!
