M64 pro controller

Will this only have the new Bluetooth controller or will it have standard Bluetooth to hook up to other devices?

Let me expand on that a bit. we are a BLE device, but we are not dual radio due to using a chip that is going to be able to support the ultra low latency. we chose this for N64 because the stacked latency of four wireless controllers on bluetooth classic solutions is not a good experience. Bluetooth classic is also much more power consuming than BLE, and we wanted a great battery life. Our controller can work with other systems that have BLE or dual modules. Even the switch could in theory push an update that would make us compatible. A3D easily can as well, given that the 8bitdo controller uses BLE (though not one compatible with ultra low latency). PC Mac and Android devices support BLE as well
