RetroTime NES HUB Bluetooth for NES

ntroducing the NES HUB!

A Bluetoothreceiver unlike any other. Powered by BlueRetro, the NES HUB is able to connect to up to4 controllerson your favourite console, through the use of a single hub, hidden away under the console! Not only that, but you can still use the original ports simultaneously, for sharing inputs on a single player game!

TheNES HUBconnected to the bottom of anNES-001(other models not supported), to the otherwise unused Expansion port.

But it doesn’t stop there!TheNES HUB can also enable Expansion Audio,a special mode that allows some Famicom games to use more audio channel for a better audio experience. Finally, it exposes three ports for future add-ons that can make use of the CPU, Controller or other functionality! For example, our first available add-on called “SNES Add-on” allows you to connect your original SNES wired controllers and play your NES games with them!

Finally, theNES HUBis made with our completely custom injection moulded Expansion Port Connector, which snaps in perfectly to your console without the danger of slipping or damaging the Expansion Port!
