PDP Announces Sonic-Themed Nintendo Switch Controllers with Collectible Figurines
Video game peripheral maker PDP has recently unveiled a new line of officially licensed Sonic-themed Nintendo Switch controllers. These controllers come with a unique feature – a “collectible figurine” inside the grip. Sonic fans can now enjoy their favorite games with a special touch of collectible memorabilia.
REALMz Accessory Line
The Sonic-themed Nintendo Switch controllers are part of PDP’s “REALMz” accessory line, which aims to bring the worlds of popular games into gaming accessories like controllers and headsets. PDP describes these accessories as “eye-catching” and invites users to “collect, display, and play” with them, offering a unique gaming experience.
Controller Options and Pricing
The Sonic-themed controllers are available in three designs – Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Switch fans can choose between wired and wireless versions of the REALMz controller, with prices starting at $39.99 USD for the wired version and $59.99 USD for the wireless version. Both options come with customizable LED lighting, allowing players to personalize their gaming setup.
Pre-orders for the Sonic-themed controllers are now available on the PDP website, giving fans the opportunity to secure their favorite design before they hit the market.
Expansion to Other Series
PDP has also announced plans to expand the REALMz accessory line to other popular game series. The next addition to the line will be a Pikmin-themed controller, set to arrive this winter. Fans of the Pikmin franchise can look forward to adding a touch of Pikmin charm to their gaming setup.
To give gamers a sneak peek, PDP has released images of the upcoming Pikmin-themed controller, showcasing the adorable Pikmin characters on the grip. The controller’s design perfectly captures the essence of the Pikmin series, making it a must-have for fans.
Comparison to First-Party Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
While the Sonic-themed controllers offer unique collectible figurines and customizable LED lighting, it’s important to note that they may lack certain features found in the first-party Nintendo Switch Pro controller. Gamers who prioritize specific functionalities should consider this before making a purchase.
