This is an Animal Crossing controller PSA: more are on the way. While I'm not saying that they're the most adorable thing ever, I'm also not not saying that. Take a look for yourself.
- Isabelle controller: $24.99 at Amazon US
- Tom Nook controller: $24.99 at Amazon US
Anyway. PowerA has added a new pair of officially licensed Animal Crossing controllers to Nintendo Switch. These ones feature Isabelle and Tom Nook for $24.99 each, complete with color-schemes to match their character.
Although they're not wireless like the previous batch, they use a 10-foot USB cable and don't require batteries (which is helpful for those of us who always forget to swap out those AAs). More importantly, they also come with an ergonomic design, a 3.5mm audio jack that'll fit the best Nintendo Switch headsets, and two mappable gaming buttons at the back for improved versatility.
Both Animal Crossing controllers are up for pre-order now, and they'll launch this February 14 - yup, on Valentine's Day.
The pair joins another wired Animal Crossing controller featuring multiple characters from the franchise, not to mention two wireless designs starring KK Slider or the Nooklings. They're rather wholesome and tie in nicely with Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
To get you the best deal, we've listed every offer we could find below (including the new Isabelle and Tom Nook versions). Weirdly, the new models are not available to pre-order in the UK just yet. We'd imagine that'll change soon.
Either way, these aren't the only themed items on the way from Nintendo in the next few weeks; the company is also launching a special Nintendo Switch Mario Red and Blue Edition console in honor of the plumber's 35th birthday.
