Hori is never shaking off the 'cutest Switch 2 accessory brand' status that I personally bestowed on it this year, especially not after I've spotted its new lineup of products for the Nintendo Switch 2 inspired by some of Sanrio's most adorable mascots.
Announced over at the official Hori Japan website on June 26, the brand unveiled that it's launching a set of new Kuromi and Cinnamoroll Switch 2 cases and matching wired controllers in Japan, set to launch in August and September of 2026, according to machine-aided translation. To make things fair, both Kuromi and Cinnamoroll are receiving a case and controller each, but as someone whose desk is cluttered with the edgy little bunny girl, I know whose Switch 2 goodies I'm after.
The first of the new Hori Switch 2 accessories is the Kuromi Puffy Hybrid Pouch, a hard-shell officially licensed case that features Kuromi serving up some tasty treats. Every inch of this case is oozing with style, from the Kuromi skull zip details to the silk scrunchy carrying handle.
Even the interior of the case is giving off stylish vibes. Instead of sticking to a plain all-black design like the Hori Gengar and Mimikyu case, it features a stunning pink lining fabric that includes little illustrations of some of the same tasty treats as seen on the outside. The fabric is also found throughout the game-storage flap, which appears to be able to store up to 10 physical Switch and Switch 2 carts - ideal for carrying around the upcoming Hello Kitty Party Land Switch 2 game, which I cannot wait to play when it launches on October 29, later this year.
The case can be paired with the matching HoriPad TURBO Mini controller. It includes the same Kuromi dessert motif, but swaps the large form factor of a typical HoriPad Turbo gamepad for a smaller 13cm by 7cm design.
It's not only compact, but it features a transparent purple glittery chassis. That's right, it's not just see-through, but it sparkles too, a style of Switch 2 controller I didn't know I needed until just witnessing the official images as seen on the Hori website right now. There unfortunately doesn't appear to be any TMR sticks as found on other Hori controllers, but the pad does include a Turbo/Turbo Hold function, if you need it.
Talking of glittery Switch 2 controllers, Cinnamoroll's is pretty much identical. I say pretty much, as it swaps the purple chassis for a milky white transparent design which is more in keeping with the adorable puppy's white and baby blue color palette. The Cinnamoroll Switch 2 case also shares the same design ethos as the Kuromii case, but it instead features the puppy on the front holding a little glass of lemonade.
The lemon theme continues throughout the case, as there are little lemon slides and even lemon pie illustrations found on the exterior and interior design of the case. There's no scrunchy carrying handle available, which is a bit of a let-down, as I appreciate its frilly whimsy on the other. However, seeing Cinnamoroll's little doe-eyed face on the zip makes up for that missing detail.

According to the official Hori Japan online store, the Kuromi Switch 2 accessories are expected to launch on August 31, 2026. Meanwhile, the Cinnamoroll versions should drop on October 30, which is just a day after the release of the new Hello Kitty Party Land game I mentioned earlier.
Sadly, there has been no mention of these accessories across the Hori US or Hori UK social media pages, but that's not surprising. Whenever I spot these new adorable products, like the Hori Ditto Switch 2 Carry All Case, it normally takes a while for them to be announced elsewhere.
In the meantime, you can check out the Sonix Hello Kitty Switch 2 cases, which start from $26.59 at Amazon, if you want to rep your favorite Sanrio characters as you game on the go.
