8Bitdo just announced a new line of controllers and accessories for the Nintendo Switch, following the amazing fan feedback when it was revealed that all previous 8Bitdo pads (capable of firmware updates) would work with the Nintendo Switch. 8Bitdo makes amazing retro-style controllers based on Nintendo's older console controller designs, and they're just perfect for retro (and modern) gaming on the Nintendo Switch. With these new pads, the already-perfect design gets some amazing upgrades, and they'll be available this holiday season.

Introducing ithe SNES30 Pro. This is a new take on 8Bitdo's flagship Nintendo controller. You'll notice that the design has stayed largely the same, mimicking the looks of the SNES and Super Famicom pads, respectively, but the SNES30 Pro has a few new features that make it perfect for gaming on the Switch specifically. The new controllers feature wireless bluetooth (so it's also compatible with your smart devices and PC), USB-C, built-in rumble, motion controls, and player indicator LEDs for when you're playing multiplayer games.

For you competitive fighting game fans 8Bitdo also revealed the NES30 Arcade Stick. This is a gorgeous arcade fight stick featuring eight buttons, wireless bluetooth, turbo functionality, and separate joystick and d-pad modes. You can find pictures of the Arcade Stick in the gallery below.

But we're not stopping there. When you take your Switch out and about to play with friends in tabletop mode, sometimes you just need a little extra "oomph" for your audio. When you need that boost, you know, for all of those roof-top Switch parties, break out these gorgeous cube speakers:

As you can see, these are inspired by the neon Joy-Con controllers, sporting a vivid and alluring neon blue and red coat of paint. You'll be able to pair these puppies up via bluetooth or with an AUX cable. And just look at the d-pad volume and power controls -- adorable.
