Remember when your GameCube felt like a relic of the past? Not anymore. Greg from LaserBear has just opened pre-orders for his new internal Bluetooth kit (v3.5), turning your trusty gray box into a modern wireless powerhouse. This isn’t just about plugging in a dongle; it’s a clean, internal install that lets you connect up to four Bluetooth controllers simultaneously.
Here’s the kicker: it also enables remote power control for the console. Imagine turning on your GameCube and having all your controllers wake up with it. It’s the kind of seamless integration that external adapters simply can’t match. Plus, it retains full support for wired controllers, so you’re not leaving old-school favorites on the shelf.
Is it worth the ~$100 price tag? It depends. If you’re planning to use three or four wireless controllers, this kit is actually cheaper than buying individual adapters for each. However, if you only need one controller or want to share wireless capability across multiple consoles, a simple plug-and-play dongle is the more cost-effective choice.
The best part? It runs on Darthcloud’s open-source Blueretro platform, delivering some of the lowest Bluetooth latency recorded. For a cleaner setup without sacrificing performance, this is a no-brainer for the serious retro gamer.
