8BitDo’s second arcade stick is moddable, stylish and versatile

Sponsored Links It’s been awhile since I used a fight stick. As a teenager, I would venture into my nearest arcade and spend what little money I had on Dance Dance Revolution.

The flat Switch and Joy-Cons offer very little to grab onto when you're trying to play in bed, on the couch, or elsewhere, and because of the button placement, it's easy for your hands to start feeling a little cramped. It's a little surprising Nintendo hasn't come out with an official accessory
