This month, HORI launched its new Switch d-pad controller in Japan. We hadn’t heard about a western release – until now. IGN confirms that the controller is coming west in September with Zelda and Mario designs.
The new Joy-Con, which takes the left position, will be sold for $25. That low price point was achieved by omitting a number of features, including Bluetooth, gyrosensor, and SL/SR buttons. But if you enjoy playing games in handheld mode, this might be what you’re looking for.
