84 Views

During last month’s Consumer Electronics Show, or CES for short, both Hyperion and Retro-Bit announced & showed off some new accessories, mainly controllers for various retro consoles ranging from the Nintendo Entertainment System up to the Dreamcast. If you aren’t familiar with these two companies, they are known for putting out different clone consoles, controllers and other accessories for various retro consoles. Having companies such as Hyperkin & Retro-Bit who are producing products for retro consoles is great for retro gamers. With each passing year finding controllers for these retro consoles will be harder & harder so personally speaking seeing all of these new releases is great to see.
