Posted on 9 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
PowerA is planning a new Switch controller design for Kirby, and you’ll be able to pick it up very soon. This is different from the other colorful design we posted about last year.
The wireless controller is similar to the company’s other offerings, but this is a pretty unique design. It includes two mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons that you can program at any time, precision tuned analog sticks, a full size d-pad, a LED indicator for player number, button mapping, and low battery warning, plus more. However, it does not support HD Rumble, the IR camera, motion controls, or amiibo NFC.

PowerA isn’t slowing down on releasing new controllers for Switch, and retailer listings have now revealed that a new design is inbound for the Zelda series, with a specific focus on Link.

It features two mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons and up to 30 hours of gameplay on a single charge via “a potent internal lithium-ion rechargeable 900mAh battery.” A 10ft (3m) USB-C charge cable is included, and PowerA says it “backs all products for 2-years to reinforce quality commitment.” Although both docked and undocked play is supported, note that HD Rumble, IR, and amiibo support are note included.

A pair of embedded anti-friction rings are included as well – along with a standard USB-C cable and two-year warranty. However, keep in mind that it does not support HD Rumble, IR functionality, motion controls, or amiibo NFC. It can only be used while the Switch unit is docked.
