PowerA Nintendo Switch 2 controller releases
Overview
PowerA has announced a series of officially licensed Advantage wireless controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2. The first model, a ‘Mario & Yoshi’ themed controller, was scheduled for release on September 30, 2026, and is compatible with both the Nintendo Switch 2 and original Nintendo Switch models.
Following this, PowerA unveiled a Pokémon-themed controller featuring a Ditto design. Both controllers utilize Hall Effect sensors in the thumbsticks to prevent drift, include two programmable rear buttons, motion control support, and a dedicated C-button for GameChat functions. While the Pokémon version lacks HD Rumble and amiibo scanning, it is positioned as a more affordable alternative to Nintendo’s first-party Pro Controller.
