Hori's Next Split Pad Pro For Switch Is Mega Man-Themed

Super fighting robot hori pad!

Those controllers are awesome! Really! If you are a handheld player consider it, if you find it too expansive, there is a clone version with surprising high quality selling online on China. I have both, and both are amazing.

Nice! I don't have a single Mega Man game in my Switch, but it does look awesome.

It is gorgeous, but maybe a little too bright. I might get destracted using it.

I got the simple Black & Red Split Pad and now I wish I had waited with all these newly announced skins xD

They really should make a Split Pad Pro... Pro. These controllers are very comfortable but I wish I could still have gyro and rumble while playing with them.

looks better than the hideous Pokémon one lol I got the standard black one as at the time there wasn't so many cool looking ones, pity.

No joy con drift with these.

Nintendo should get hori to make they’re official controllers.

Seems a bit busy. If it were just the color scheme and the big Mega Man on the right, it'd look classy

@Moroboshi876 Yeah there really isn't that much of Mega Man on the Switch. Only 3 collections and an 11th entry is all we got of Mega Man this gen. The 3rd collection wasn't even starred the blue bomber but his future sidekick instead.

@Specter_of-the_OLED There's a lot of Mega Man on Switch, the same as in its contemporary systems. I just said I don't have any of them in the Switch, but that's because I have my Mega Man games in the Xbox One.

When is the wired controller attachment for these going up for sale?

I've been meaning to get one of these for a while as I'm not that keen on the joy cons, so this is now preordered

@KoopaTheGamer
I think there was a version of these that actually had rumble, gryo, and Bluetooth.

I had a pair of these from last year's holiday season. Nice pads from a "feel" standpoint, but my left stick developed terrible drift after about 6 months. I much prefer the analogs on these to the Joy Cons but can't justify a new pair every 6 months. EDIT: And actually, it wasn't so much drift, but the stick would just be unresponsive for 1 or 2 seconds at a time. I'd be running in Apex Legends and just stop for a second here and there. Might've been a connectivity issue but no issues with my original Joy Cons on the same switch so who knows.

Just got it preordered. Perfect gift for my best friend, who is probably the biggest megaman fan on the planet.

I got the very first pair of these, the Daemon X Machina ones, and they're great. Too bad they're missing out on rumble and gyro though, as that would really give them that premium feel. If you can stand missing out on that, this is a great buy!

Design is way too busy. Does it really need both the Mega Man logo and Mega Man? Those little boss men need to go as well.

This actually looks awesome. Don't own one of these Split pads so far

I want these but wont fit in my case

This is by far the best SPP design I've seen. My Daemon X Machina version has taken a lot of beating already and in case it breaks I'll get this one as a replacement. Maybe this means we'll get a Mega Man Legends remaster soon? Wishful thinking

@ModdedInkling There isn't but I think the closest think was the binbox joycons

I’d also like a premium version with gyro and rumble and I’d be willing to pay more for it.

I have the original one and it is still working well. I actually had to return the very first pair I had due to the B button breaking, but that was probably partly my fault for buying an “Amazon warehouse deal” open box one.

I know they have a wired grip for using them for TV mode, it would be nice if that were wireless as another optional add on.

Do these even have rumble? Not HD Rumble, just generic rumble. Surprisingly, I really like having rumble when playing handheld and miss it when it's gone.

Wish they'd produce a Skyward Sword version.

Just pointing out that they release on December 17, which is Mega Man and Mega Man X's 34th and 28th anniversary respectively! Already pre-ordered these on Day 1, can't wait.

The Split Pad Pro is a game changer, folks. I have avoided handheld mode like the plague because of the joy cons awful joysticks and uncomfortable grip but these babies made it all possible again. I was playing Turok 2 last night (point being, a FPS) and it was just like using the pro controller in the TV, even as I was laying down on the couch all comfy-like.

I highly recommend this controller for anyone on the fence. Only downside is the system is an absolute unit with it all attached. If you’re not leaving the house with it though, it’s no problem.

@BenRK sadly, these do not. They also lack motion controls. They also lack NFC.
Literally they are just controllers without all the bells and whistles.

@ChromaticDracula
Dang... gonna pass for me then. The joycons don't really bother me, but I get wanting bigger controls. To each their own I suppose, but I'm going to wait for rumble before getting these.

Just a heads up, this one doesn’t say its made for OLED Switch. The new Pokemon one does. I have an OLED Switch and a Hori Split Pro, and it doesn’t dock right. It will dock, but if you dont drop it in exactly right, you wont get a charge, because it doesnr fit right. One time it even rebooted my Switch.

Hori released a statement when the OLED debuted, sayin their Split Pads are not 100% compatible with the OLED.

So go with the new Pokemon one if you have or plan to have an OLED

@BenRK I will admit, having AT LEAST rumble would make these perfect, so in my book they’re just shy of perfection. I’m okay without motion controls and nfc but yeah…

I do find even though I have these HORI controllers, I still take my joy cons JUST IN CASE someone wants to play multiplayer or some kind of motion-based game with me haha… it’ll never happen but I know the one time I don’t bring them it’s gonna happen.
In the end I’m carrying around more now but the comfort from these things is worth it.

Here’s to hoping they release rumble ones someday!

@ChromaticDracula Rumble is all I'd really want personally. I would like gyro aiming, but that's one of those things I can live without. NFC is a non issue for me and it being there or not means nothing to me.

Instead of stupid graphics they should focus on fixing the poor build quality.

I love my Hori pad in black, but I would love em more if they had rumble features. I can live without NFC and IR but that they had no ruble at al was a little bummer for me.

The reason I bought the pas is that they don't get joycon drift at al.

No vibration, no buy.

@Moroboshi876 Yeah but a lot of the old ones only, Mega Man 11 is the only brand new. The rest are just Mega Man Legacy Collection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, and Mega Man Zero Collection. Unlike the old collections though they don't even include the bonus games like the Mega Man arcade games or even the rare Mega Man soccer and kart game or even the gaiden games like Mega Man and Bass, Mega Man X: Command Mission, Mega Man Xtreme 1 & 2, Mega Man Legends 1 & 2, and the Game Boy and Game Gear Mega Man games.
