PowerA is joining in with the pink puffball's 30th-anniversary celebrations in its own way! The accessory manufacturer has created a brand new wired controller to celebrate Kirby's birthday.
Everything about the controller is peak Kirby; pink buttons, splashes of different shades of pink and blue, a little warp star in the middle — what more could you want? Mappable buttons? 10ft cable? All of the other tricks that a PowerA controller has? It's all there in perfect blue and pink form.
It's not just a controller this time around, either. PowerA is also launching a Switch case to match — one that's suitable for the OLED, classic, and Switch Lite. We can't get enough of the little label inside the case with a puffed-out Kirby inside, so we're going to have to nab one of these for ourselves just for that reason.
We would say more about this lovely little set, but PowerA has us covered when it calls Kirby "cute but dangerous" on its website. We couldn't agree more, and this case and controller make the perfect accessories for the puff's 30th anniversary.
You can grab the controller from the official PowerA website for $27.99, or the case for only $19.99. If you prefer, you can also order them from Amazon:

power A make some really good looking controllers shame they are bloody awfull. 3 controllers hardly used all have drift buttons not working,.
Pre-ordering right now. Thanks for sharing
Why can't Nintendo makes some great pro controllers like this
It's soooo beautiful!! 😍
Guessing that will last about a month before it stops working, but I could be wrong. My GameSir controller put in over 1200 hours before it started drifting and it was about the same price.
Looks pretty nice though for people who like the pink circle fella.
Even for Kirby that's a bit garish.
Nice, now if only it wasn't wired.
Do PowerA's wired controllers also work on PC, as well as Switch?
@Anguspuss Ditto What this guy said.
The fact that it's wired makes it a no from me, but it looks cute.
@Anguspuss
Same, I also had three Power A controllers that all started to drift after a short time.
I recommend the Hori Pad Switch controller for those that want a cheap pro controller. Visually nothing special but mine still works fine after many months of use. Works both on PC (I only tested Steam) and Switch.
@fishbujin im same got the hori pad and for the price is a great controller. had no issues with it. and got the mario mini controller for the kids and it zero issues despite the kids best efforts.
Shame PowerA uses most of their best designs on wired-only controllers despite making wireless controllers as well. The Metroid controller would have been an easy purchase for me and this would have at least been a consideration.
Tried to pre-order. It seems they don't ship to Ireland. I'll check out Play Asia as I've shopped with them many times now.
It’s so cuteee, little colourful K0rby
Why are wired controllers still a thing? Would have bought this without a thought had it been wireless.
After my GameCube controller from PowerA broke, I haven't even bothered considering a PowerA product.
I will never buy another PowerA controller in my life again. No matter how beautiful they are. Complete and utter garbage. I'd be ashamed if my company was making controllers with the quality of these things.
I'm sure someone will say "i have had mine for years". Don't care, they are awful.
Nice looking controller though.
Adorablllllllle.
Kinda sucks powerA has some of the most beautiful controllers yet crap quality interworkings. If only hori would one-up powerA designs. Or they should partner up with hori and make designs for horis controllers and powerA should just drop the controller business all together.
So cute, why does it have to be kinda crappy?
I have already pre-ordered this controller. I'm fine using the joy cons but this is too cute not to get as a Kirby collector. Also is this the first time Kirby FINALLY gets a console related item like a switch controller? If they ever were to put out a Kirby Switch then it's over for me.
