Back in February 2024, we reviewed the Hunter controller in depth, putting it through its paces with some of our favorite Original XBOX games. It’s an incredible controller and one that has revolutionsed the way we play on Microsoft’s first home console. Now, Retro Fighters have pulled another blinder out of the bag by releasing a limited edition Crystal variant of the Hunter with only 2,000 being made.
According to the Retro Fighters on their website, this controller is the ‘same great Hunter XBOX controller but with a premium limited edition color! Limited to 2,000 pieces – once they are gone, they are gone forever!’ Talk about making me grab my credit card without realising it; the crystal shells on the original XBOX were always the best, and with the original Green Hunter controller channeling the essence of the green translucent casing, this crystal offering is perfect to twin with the stylish translucent crystal console, giving you ultimate control over your games while looking super fresh and slick at the same time. It oozes cool!
Honestly, we had so many good things to say about the original controller, especially the price. It’s not the most premium controller range out there in terms of ‘the ultimate pro gaming controller’, but that’s not what the Hunter is all about. It’s there to become your new favourite and incredibly affordable way to play the original XBOX, and it does it with Hall Effect triggers and sticks, pressure-sensitive buttons, wireless connectivity an rumble, and a USB-C rechargeable battery, all for $44.99!
Pre-orders are available now from the Retro Fighters website – hurry up and grab yours before they’re gone forever!
