The standard Joy-Cons for the Nintendo Switch works just fine when you’ve got the device in handheld mode. But to amp up your experience when playing with the Switch docked, a Nintendo Switch controller from PowerA could be exactly what you’ve been missing.
So what’s included? The special edition controller is designed for Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite. It comes with a two-year warranty, for peace of mind gaming, and offers up to 30 hours of playtime per charge, with a low battery warning LED indicator to alert users it’s running low. Plus, there’s also a 10ft (3m) USB-C charge cable included for when it is finally time to top up.
This controller also features two mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons, allowing for customizable gameplay, and embedded anti-friction rings for smooth thumbstick control. Designed with superior ergonomics, it promises hours of comfortable gaming and includes an intuitive Nintendo button layout.
In other Nintendo news, a LEGO Super Mario World Mario & Yoshi Set recently leaked online and has since been revealed as a legitimate set, with preorders also now available. LEGO has also unveiled a few more Mario sets, including The Bowser Express Train set, the King Boo’s Haunted Mansion set, and Battle with Roy at Peach’s Castle set. In March, LEGO and Nintendo announced that LEGO Mario Kart sets launch in 2025.
