Family Friendly Gaming News
Karlstad, Sweden – June 24, in the
year of our Lord 2025 – Game Outlet Europe®, an
independent distributor of video games and gaming accessories
and part of Embracer Freemode®, today announced the European
arrival of Retro Fighters, a much loved, LA based retro-gaming
brand.
Family owned and highly regarded for their fan-favourite, retro
inspired controller range, Retro Fighters finally arrives in
Europe, bringing their specialist controllers to EU gamers for
the very first time.
Top of the list are the BattlerGC, Battler GC Pro and D6
controllers, offering passionate gamers a unique way to enjoy
retro and modern gaming, using classic designs and modern
technology to deliver a new take on firm favourites.
Originally designed to honor the 20th anniversary of the
Nintendo® GameCube™, the BattlerGC utilises rock-solid 2.4Ghz
wireless technology, providing cable-free precision control for
Nintendo® GameCube™, Nintendo Switch™, Wii™, Wii U™ and PC.
Ideal for brawlers like Super Smash Bros., Retro Fighters have
strategically placed the twin analog Thumbsticks in an
asymmetrical configuration, giving gamers the competitive edge,
and with a rechargeable battery offering ten hours of continuous
play, the BattlerGC is ready for all day play!
Pressure Sensitive Analog Triggers, Dual ‘Z’ Shoulder Buttons
and Wireless Vibration Feedback combine with the exceptionally
accurate D-Pad and Thumbstick to give gamers the winning edge
with a traditional feel. Complete with both GameCube and USB
Wireless Transmitters, the BattlerGC is available in Black,
Orange and Purple colours.
Pro gamers can step it up with the Retro Fighters BattlerGC Pro!
The world’s first pro-grade GameCube inspired controller, the
BattlerGC Pro comes equipped with a raft of advanced features
for the discerning gamer.
Featuring dual Bluetooth® and 2.4Ghz wireless technology, the
BattlerGC Pro is compatible with multiple platforms, including
GameCube, Game Boy™ Player, Nintendo Switch and PC. When users
download a simple free firmware update, gamers can even use
their BattlerGC Pro with Nintendo Switch 2™!
Designed for precision accuracy, the BattlerGC Pro features
Hall-Effect Thumbsticks, ensuring that gamers are never exposed
to stick-drift at any time! Adding to the pro-spec further, the
BattlerGC Pro utilises Kailh® switches when pressing down on the
custom built, GameCube style Thumbsticks. To assist with even
the most complex of commands, the BattlerGC Pro includes dual
rear Programmable Buttons, as well as Dual ‘Z’ Shoulder Buttons.
Analog triggers with an integrated digital button combine with a
rechargeable battery providing an impressive ten hours of play
and a 30ft wireless range for a pro-grade, retro controller
experience.
Not forgetting about SEGA® fans, the Retro Fighter D6 controller
is a classic re-imagined, offering superb comfort for Dreamcast™
Nintendo Switch and PC gamers.
Fully wireless utilizing ultra-low latency 2.4Ghz technology,
(clocking in at 1.95ms Wired and 5.03ms Wireless) the D6
controller is styled in the legendary 6-Button fighting game
configuration, fully compatible with original Dreamcast VMU’s as
well as 4X, and the upcoming 8BITMODS VMU Pro®, making it a
perfect choice for enthusiasts. The D6 is equipped with
integrated Kailh micro switches for both the d-pad and face
buttons, and gamers can choose from multiple directional modes,
including left stick, right stick, and d-pad configurations.
The D6 offers two configurable modes for the C/Z buttons,
allowing players to use either the L/R shoulder buttons or
specific ‘C’ and ‘Z’ buttons. With a precise and responsive
d-pad for enhanced control, the D6 is surely the best way to
enjoy Dreamcast classics in a modern gaming environment.
