The Split Pad Pro Controller comes in two different Pokemon-themed offerings: one with Pikachu and Eevee, and another with just Pikachu. The Split Pad Pro Controller takes the place of the familiar Joy-Cons, adding a bit more bulk. For those that enjoy using the Pro Controller, it's essentially a version of that split in half (hence the name). The Split Pad Pro Controllers retail for $59.99 and can be pre-ordered here on Amazon for Pikachu and Eevee, and here on Amazon for Pikachu.
The D-Pad Controller looks just like a traditional left Joy-Con, but it replaces the four buttons with a D-Pad. It should be just the thing for those that enjoy 2D fighting games like Street Fighter! It should be noted, however, that the D-Pad Controller works exclusively in handheld mode. This one features a black finish, with yellow lightning bolts and everyone's favorite Electric-Mouse type! The D-Pad Controller is available to pre-order on Amazon for $24.99.
For those looking for a cheaper variation on Nintendo's Switch Pro Controller, the Pikachu Wireless HORIPAD Controller offers a similar experience at a slightly lower price point. For Pokemon fans looking for something a bit more subdued, this one still features Pikachu front and center, but with the rest of the controller mostly black. It does not feature support for Amiibo, and there's no Rumble feature, but it will retail for just $49.99.
