Switch Is Getting A Super Cute Dragon Quest Slime Controller From Hori

Japanese accessory maker HORI officially revealed a “Pro” Controller for the Nintendo Switch in the shape of a Slime!

Yes, you read that right. Previously released for the PS4, this odd Dragon Quest slime-shaped controller will now be getting a Switch version featuring most of the Switch Pro Controller’s functionality, if not all. It has the buttons, triggers, and thumb-sticks placed in a similar fashion as the usual Pro Controller. It can also be charged via the Switch AC adapter as well as the USB Type-C cable.

What’s more, it comes with a dedicated pedestal for display and a paper stand that resembles a treasure box for the Nintendo Switch.

Check out its features below:
