HORI will soon be releasing a pair of new, officially-licensed playstands for Switch. One is styled after Splatoon 2, while the other carries a Splatoon 2 theme.

The stands allow users to play at an angle without having to hold the system as it’s charging. You can also fold it up for easy portability.

Play-Asia is taking pre-orders for both stands here. They’re tentatively scheduled for the end of March.

HORI has thus far created Mario and Zelda designs for its Switch d-pad controller. In November, a new version will be added to the mix.

A listing on Amazon shows that the d-pad controller is getting a Pikachu design. The device is the same as the Mario and Zelda versions, meaning you’ll be getting a controller that’s sort of like the left Joy-Con, but one that works in handheld mode only.

The Pikachu Switch d-pad controller launches November 16. Pre-orders are open here.

HORI has released its d-pad controller for Switch outside of Japan. But one of the things we’ve heard is that when using the product, battery drain was an issue.

Apparently, this has been addressed. HORI says that after applying the new firmware update for Switch – version 6.0.0 – users will not encounter any problems with battery draining. It should be safe to use the new d-pad controller going forward.
