Hori makes some of the best licenced controllers and accessories in the business and this new range of Mini Controllers for the Switch looks like no exception.
The Pikachu and Eevee designs are particularly nice and would be perfect for any Pokémon fans looking to spice up their gaming time. If Pokémon isn't your thing, then Hori also has a charming Mario design, along with a red and blue style. These Mini Pads will be available from 9th July from Play Asia.
If you prefer something a bit more like a Pro Controller then you'll want to check out the Nintendo Switch Wireless HORIPAD. In a fetching Pokémon colourway, this looks pretty striking and will be available from 16th July. It's equipped with an accelerometer and gyroscope for full motion control, which isn't always the case with third party offerings.

I dig the designs, that price though for the wireless, ouch. Maybe later if I have some extra cash.
I really like the shape, but I think I am happy with my selection of 8bitdo controllers!
Nintendo Life used Affiliate Links! It’s super effective!
Wonder if this has any connection to tomorrow's announcement or are just pokemon designs cause they are popular.
like the looks but do they have headphone jacks
Trash. Not worth it
For a moment I thought that was an ARMS design
What's accelerometer? Is it vibration?
@Roibeard64 No. Yes.
Needs to be an Umbreon controller.
@tka060681 accelerometer senses if the controller is moving
If the mini controllers were wireless, i would have picked a couple up but it seems only the “pro” model is. Too bad. I’ve got 5 pro controllers already but would have loved something smaller to take with me.
Man, I wish wireless controllers - or gaming controllers in general, really - weren't so expensive. I like the look of the pro controller, but man, that price.
Can someone tell me if these controllers suffer from drift too or it's just the Joy Cons?
I have 4 controllers already, so I'll wait for reviews; I am picky about the D-Pad.
The Pokémon ones look so, so good, and I am tempted to make an exception even though these are wired. Stupidly enough, these controllers won't work with Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee.
I guess Nintendo has just pawned off different color and design controllers to 3rd parties at this point.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. But to be honest, I have 4 pro controllers, 4 sets of joycon and 2 8BitDo controllers.
I really don't need any more.
@StevenH thanks. HD rumble is a must for me, or at least includes vibration, so I am gonna skip this.
@Benhop07 thanks, no HD rumble is unacceptable for me. Already got three pro controller, still need another one, hopefully they release new color.
I like Pokemon, but I dislike Pikachu strongly. Too bad they didn't make one without the yellow rat.
