It's no secret that the gaming industry is not just about game titles, genres, and narratives. It is also a driving force of technologies, constantly searching for new ways to process images, creating more advanced rendering, texturing, and lighting algorithms, as well as being a direct push for the development of specialized devices. The ongoing demand for higher performance, new features, and better experiences pushes manufacturers to create increasingly sophisticated gaming devices: gaming mice, keyboards, headsets, monitors, and laptops. This interconnection between games and hardware is a driving force for the entire electronics market, as demands for computer components and peripherals continue to rise.

Additionally, fall is traditionally considered the "golden season" for gamers. This period is characterized by the active release of new games, consoles (or their limited editions), and other gaming devices and peripherals. One reason for this is that autumn marks the beginning of the holiday season when many people have more time to play games. Manufacturers, in close collaboration with marketers, kick-off various sales events, such as Prime Days, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, to clear out their stock and draw attention to new releases.

And there are always plenty of new releases in the fall, so I decided to explore which devices have just hit the shelves or will be coming soon. Thus, the October highlights of new gaming peripherals begin.

New Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3

This is a multi-platform gamepad that stood out to me because of its unique symmetry for a Switch controller. As you might expect, it works with the Switch, as well as iOS, Android, PC, and Steam. The GameSir Tarantula Pro offers various connection options, including wired, Bluetooth, and a wireless dongle, powered by a 1200mAh battery for extended gaming sessions.

A unique feature of the Tarantula Pro is its swappable face buttons, which enable effortless switching between Nintendo's ABXY and Xbox's BAYX layouts. The face buttons are unmarked, highlighting their customizable character.

8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller

8BitDo is a manufacturer known for crafting gaming peripherals that seamlessly blend retro design aesthetics with modern technology. I have always been fond of 8BitDo controllers and keyboards, especially their retro-style versions, so I need to add this one to my list, although this controller was just unveiled in the fall, pre-orders are now open, with an estimated delivery time of around spring next year.

The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller brings back the classic N64 design in a modern, ergonomic form. It features a precision hall-effect joystick with the original gate and a concave rubber cap, addressing the common issue of loose joysticks. The controller includes the familiar C-buttons, A/B, and Start, maintaining their original sizes and positions for an authentic feel.

This controller redefines the multiplayer experience that the N64 was famous for, especially when paired with Analogue 3D. Designed collaboratively with Analogue, the 8BitDo 64 Controller offers a unique gameplay experience that celebrates the legacy of the N64, known as the greatest multiplayer system of its time.

Equipped with Bluetooth and vibration support, the controller is compatible with the new Analogue 3D (description below), Nintendo Switch, including N64 Online, and more.

Analogue 3D

Analogue, Inc. is an American company that designs, develops, and sells video game hardware manufactured in China. They reinterpret classic games while blending traditional and modern elements. One well-known example is the Analogue Pocket, which sells out within days of its release and quickly becomes a favorite among collectors. Although the announced pre-sale gaming console isn’t a peripheral, it’s worth discussing alongside both mentioned brands. I mean teamed up with 8BitDo to launch the new Analogue 3D console and Bluetooth controller for it.

The Analogue 3D console reimagines the iconic N64, now rendered in 4K. It retains full compatibility with every original N64 game, transcending regional restrictions. The console is equipped with modern features such as Bluetooth LE, Dualband Wifi, and four original-style controller ports, blending nostalgia with technology. At its core, FPGA engineering, featuring analog hardware with 3D OS, ensures a smooth gaming experience free from common emulation pitfalls like input lag and visual discrepancies. This technology is providing a true, non-emulated experience.

Preserving the rich legacy of video gaming, the Analogue 3D enhances visual quality with true CRT reference resolution on your HDTV. It revitalizes the essence of in-person multiplayer gaming, paying tribute to the N64's legacy with a redesigned controller that includes a durable HALL Effect joystick (8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller) console compatible with HDMI TVs, and an essential journey back to gaming history. Analogue 3D is available for pre-order on the brand's official website, with deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2025—notice: the 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller is sold separately.
