Evercade certainly listen to their customers. The demand for a wireless controller for their VS/VS-R and Alpha systems has been growing bigger of late, and they've delivered in a social post showing off a brand new wireless pad with a whole range of sweet additions.

Meet the Evercade Wireless Controller. It's a strong name and one that will give you no dramas when it comes to figuring out what it does. It's the next evolution of Evercade's existing wired controller and looks a little like it's dropped out of a Space Invaders tribute game, which I'm sure must have been in the back of their minds when they were making it.

Complete with turbo fire, analogue sticks, and a dongle with magnetic storage, it's going to revolutionise play for those who game a lot using the VS/VS-R. I'm not sure how much I would use this with the Alpha because the whole idea behind them is to recreate that arcade feel, but hey - if you guys want it, then you guys are gonna get it!

There are no more details other than it's set to release this September and will be available from selected retailers. As soon as I have information on pricing, I'll let you know here!
