“Perfect for fighting games and other classics”

Another new Xbox controller from 8BitDo is on its way! The “8BitDo M30 Wired Controller” has been officially licensed by Microsoft. Pre-orders begin today, with a December 22nd, 2023 release date.

As you can see, it resembles the six-button variants of the old SEGA Mega Drive / SEGA Genesis controllers, and 8BitDo claims the M30 is specifically designed for “fighting games and other classics.”
