Hyperkin X91 Mega Man 11 Edition retro controller arrives October 2

Hyperkin has taken the wraps off a new Mega Man 11 version of its X91 retro gaming controller. The edition has the same iconic blue color as franchise character's outfit, as well as the character itself, a colorful joystick, and the Xbox logo. The model is only available for Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs; though it won't be available until October 2, fans can purchase one now.

Hyperkin's X91 controller is already available in multiple colors, but it's getting a special Mega Man 11 makeover. As shown below, the Mega Man 11 Edition X91 features two-tone blue shades, the Blue Bomber character, a crimson red joystick, and the Xbox logo button. The shape differs notably from the regular Xbox One controller.

Hyperkin describes its X91 controller as retro-themed, borrowing the wide, narrow style found on older gamepads for a nostalgic experience. The controller features analog triggers and "modern ergonomics," as well as a 3.5mm audio jack for directly connecting a headset.

This isn't a wireless trigger — you'll need to connect it using the USB cable. Buyers can purchase the controller now for $29.99 USD, the same price as the other X91 controllers. According to Hyperkin, the Mega Man 11 Edition will only be available for a limited time, but the company didn't provide a specific timeframe.

The new edition won't be available until October 2; buyers who dig the retro style but aren't interested in the Capcom theme can purchase the controller now in red and white colors. Mega Man 11 the video game can be pre-ordered now as well ahead of its October 2 launch.
