Here’s a Better Look at Nintendo Switch’s New N64 & Genesis Controllers

Nintendo has today revealed its Switch Online + Expansion package in full, which offers players a bunch of additional perks from their existing membership at a higher price point. One of those perks includes a retro N64 controller, which is also available to purchase as a standalone item along with a Sega Genesis controller for $49.99 each.

Strangely, though, you’ll need to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership to actually purchase either of them. Presumably, that includes a single month’s membership, which only costs $3.99.

Order pages for both controllers are now listed on Nintendo’s website, which also gives us a closer look at their design and detail for the first time. Below you can check out some of the images included with the order page.
