To talk a little about its features, the Nintendo Switch controller will have more buttons compared to its original design.

Looking at the fundraiser, Retro Fighters have also announced extra features at an added price. The franchise promised to feature motion control at $100K and a Gold version of the controller at $200K. While that seems to be a long way, interested users can buy off the original at $45.
