Amazon is offering big discounts on a wide variety of 8BitDo controllers for Prime Day 2024, including the priciest product in 8BitDo’s lineup. 8BitDo’s wireless Arcade Stick for Xbox and PC is on sale for only $84 through tomorrow, July 17, or until Amazon runs out of stock. Considering the white version is already showing low stock, you may want to snag one soon. Both the white and black models are eligible for Amazon’s deal, which knocks 30% off the 8BitDo Arcade Stick’s $120 list price. The Nintendo Switch (and PC) version is on sale for $78.
Meanwhile, 8BitDo’s Nintendo Switch and PC fight stick is on sale for $78. The Switch version works wirelessly via Bluetooth and the included 2.4GHz dongle.
The sticks are nearly identical, save for the platform-specific menu buttons and dials. Each controller comes with a stick and eight face buttons. The Switch edition can connect via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless via a dongle that slots into a hidden USB port on the bottom of the controller, and wired with the included USB-C cable. The Xbox edition boasts both wireless and wired connections, but it doesn’t have Bluetooth.
The 8BitDo Arcade Stick’s simple design makes it easy to start playing right out of the box, but it’s also moddable–including support for swapping out the buttons and joystick with components from other fight sticks–for those who want to fine-tune the controller’s feel. PC users can also program their own button macros using the free 8BitDo Ultimate software. It’s also more affordable than most fight sticks, even at full price, making this discount all the more enticing.
Amazon has plenty of other great discounts on 8BitDo products right now, including awesome mechanical keyboards that pay homage to retro gaming consoles. You can also save big on multiple different editions of the 8BitDo Ultimate controller, which is one of the best third-party controllers around.
