8BitDo Reveals Retro Cube 2 Speaker – N Edition: A Tribute to NES Design and Modern Sound

Shenzhen, China — November 2025 – 8BitDo has announced the Retro Cube 2 Speaker – N Edition, a compact, high-performance wireless speaker that merges the nostalgic aesthetics of the NES with today’s audio technology. Building on the success of the original Cube Speaker, the new model delivers improved sound, smarter connectivity, and a refined design.

The Retro Cube 2 Speaker – N Edition offers three connection modes—Bluetooth 5.3, 2.4G wireless, and wired USB—allowing users to switch seamlessly between setups. Its low-latency wired and 2.4G modes ensure smooth, lag-free audio performance whether gaming, streaming, or listening to music.

Inspired by the timeless NES design, the Cube 2 features D-pad-style controls for volume, playback, and pairing, giving users a familiar and tactile interface. A built-in wireless charging dock keeps the speaker powered and ready to go while doubling as a discreet storage compartment for the USB-C adapter. The dock’s integrated signal extender further enhances 2.4G stability and range.

Despite its small footprint—slightly larger than a Rubik’s Cube—the Cube 2 delivers true stereo sound with dual 5W drivers and a balanced frequency response from 120 Hz to 15 kHz. Users can toggle between Music and Gaming modes with a single button press to optimize their listening experience for any activity.

Part of 8BitDo’s NES40 Collection, the Retro Cube 2 Speaker complements the N40 Ultimate 2 Bluetooth controller and N40 Retro 68 Keyboard, offering fans a cohesive, retro-inspired desktop setup that celebrates 40 years of the NES legacy.

The Cube 2 includes a 2000mAh rechargeable battery, providing up to 30 hours of playback on a 3–5 hour charge. Its portable size and robust build make it suitable for home, travel, or gaming setups.
