Accessory maker PDP is back once again, this time with two more controllers which star Pokémon's very own Pichu and Jigglypuff.
The controllers will join the company's Wired Fight Pad Pro range. Styled to look and feel like a Nintendo GameCube controller - and therefore digging into that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fanbase market - the controllers are officially licensed by Nintendo and Pokémon, have a ten-foot USB cable to connect to your Switch dock, and have swappable C-sticks.
If you're interested in picking one up, you can get Pichu and Jigglypuff from PDP's online store for $24.99 each; Pichu has also appeared on Amazon. They're releasing in October, so any orders you make now should be shipped then.
If you main either of these characters in Smash, these could be a perfect way to play. If you're after other designs, the same controller is available featuring Mario, Zelda, or Pikachu, or Luigi or Peach.

I would like to use that Gamecube controller for playing other Switch games but Smash Bros.
Angry Jiggly is mad!!
@Anti-Matter You can
Why are they called "Fight Pads"? I understand that these are made for smash only but "Fight Pads"? Really?
I'd normally skip anything but Pro Controllers and Joy-Con, but if these were wireless, I don't think I could resist angry Jigglypuff.
I love the pink and blue color scheme. Goes great with Jigglypuff and Sylveon
they're nice design art work on the controllers but the controller l would say "no", because gamecube controllers are not really good to use for the switch.
I hate that so many of these neat-looking third-party controllers are wired. With how light the Switch is (even when docked), one wrong tug could send your console flying.
Wait...are these the first gamecube esque pads that have both R shoulder buttons?!!?!
Now I want. Idc about wires. 😁
@Troop They are not made for Smash only.
@gcunit then it makes even less sense
@Troop Are you familiar with the term 'marketing'?
@gcunit Yes i am. I'm just wandering why they didn't call it "Gamecube Classic Controler". I think it wouldn't change much about the sales and it would make more sense. Fight pad sounds like an addon to Genesis for fighting games.
@Troop
Usually USB "Fight Pads" are called that because they work with what Fighting Games call "Legacy controllers" or some variation of that.
This is great for people who own a USB Arcade Stick or Fight Pad and it isn't natively compatible with the console.
For example, you could use the Pokkén Controller on SoulCalibur 6 on the PS4 (Though I play with the Hori Switch Arcade Stick myself).
I can't tell you if that's the case here, since I don't own any of these PDP controllers myself, but I thought I'd bring it up since people usually associate the 6 face button layout with Fight Pads.
@RedderRugfish they just don't make them like they used to
Why does the rat brat get a controller yet my main Bowser doesn't?
But but the tier lists!
