8BitDo has built a name for itself, being behind some of the best controllers for the Nintendo Switch, and beyond, that anyone can get their hands on. But the Nintendo Switch 8BitDo Wireless Adapter 2 is my instant go-to when thinking about the brand’s impressive back catalog. The compact and easy-to-miss accessory plugs right into one of the USB ports on your official Switch dock and turns your old Bluetooth controllers, which are likely collecting dust, into your next favorite Switch accessory.

The 8BitDo Adapter is currently available for$19 on Amazon,and the Switch accessory hasn’t budged away from its MSRP over the years, unlike 8BitDo’s Ultimate Controllers. Its original price is a good bargain in its own right, especially as the adaptor can transform your old gamepads enough to rival even that of thebest Nintendo Switch controllers. However, with Black Friday just around the corner, I’m holding out that the adapter will see a notable discount so more Switch fans can fall in love with the tiny, but impressive accessory, just like I have.

With theSwitch 2right around the corner, not all of us may feel inclined to spend a ton on even more controllers. However, with the notorious dreaded Joy-Con drift being just as prevalent as ever, even at the tail-end of the Switch’s lifespan, investment in a new controller is likely a necessity. Especially if you’re eager to take your friends down a peg in the recently released Mario Party Jamboree. If, unlike myself, you don’t fancy yourself a Switch controller collecting connoisseur, picking up just the 8BitDo Wireless Adapter can give you an influx of new controllers without the hefty price tag. It just so happens so those new controllers are ones you already own.

Should you buy the 8Bitdo Wireless Adapter 2?

Promo image of the black 8BitDo Wireless Adapter on a GamesRadar+ background.

The 8BitDo Wireless Adapter 2 may not seem like an important Nintendo Switch accessory to have in your arsenal, but in the whopping 7 years I’ve owned the Switch, I can’t imagine playing games without it. The tiny adaptor can turn your old gamepads, into your new favorite Switch controllers and save you from ordering yet another set of buttons to your ever-growing collection.

With its aptly Super Mario aesthetic, you won’t lose the dongle any time soon. However, it does come with a small protective cap that I must admit, I haven’t seen in a long time. If you’re precious about your Switch accessories, it’s best to have a storage plan, so you don’t lose it, or the adapter when it’s not being used. However, if you’ve accumulated as many old controllers as I have, chances are the 8BitDo Wireless Adapter 2 won’t leave your Switch any time soon.
