Joy-Cons are now compatible with the NES Classic

Have an NES Classic and want to use your brand-new Joy-Cons to play a handful of classic games? You can do that now thanks to an update to the 8bitdo Retro Receiver.

8bitdo has been making classic controllers for a while now, but the retro receiver allows you to use any Bluetooth controller with the NES Classic and thanks to the new update, that now includes the Joy-Cons and the Switch Pro Controller. What could be better than a mix of old and new?

The NES Classic is available for $60 and has routinely been sold out since it launched late last year. In fact, the only NES Classic available on Amazon is retailing for more than $149 which is double the suggested MSRP. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch is breaking sales records for the company to become the fastest-selling console ever in Europe and America.
