Sometimes, when you want to play a retro game, nothing but the original controller will do. Super Mario World with an SNES pad, Mega Man 2 with a NES pad, Zelda: Ocarina of Time with an N64 pad… They just feel better, right?
Well, if you’re partial to playing a few GBA games via the Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) service, then you might be interested in a new cartridge produced by modder insideGadgets, which lets you control your Nintendo Switch with a GBA console (thanks, Time Extension).
Dubbed the Bluetooth GBA TX Cart, it effectively turns your GBA into an 8BitDo Zero 2 wireless controller, letting you control your Switch directly. It also works on PC, Tablets, and Smart Phones – neat!
The modder has warned that “due to the complexity to make”, the cart is a bit on the pricey side and is currently listed at $89. So while it’s certainly more than what you’d expect to pay for an actual wireless controller for the Switch, it’s nevertheless a unique option if you want a truly authentic experience.
