Hori Unveils a Stunning Umbreon & Espeon Controller for Nintendo Switch 2!

Hey, gaming fam! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Pokémon world lately, you’d know that Espeon and Umbreon, the fan-favourite Eevee evolutions from Gen 2, are having a serious moment. From apparel to collectibles, these two mystical Pokémon are popping up everywhere, and honestly, we’re here for it!

Now, get ready for some exciting news that’s bound to make your Nintendo Switch 2 setup even cooler. A brand-new, officially licensed Umbreon and Espeon wireless controller from Hori has been spotted, and it looks absolutely breathtaking!

While Hori hasn’t officially announced it on their social media channels just yet, the controller’s listing has popped up on a major online retailer. This new version of the Wireless HORIPAD Turbo gamepad is draped in a gorgeous dark purple colourway, beautifully adorned with intricate gold star details that perfectly capture the essence of both Espeon’s psychic elegance and Umbreon’s nocturnal mystique.

Currently, you can’t get your hands on it just yet, as it’s listed as “Temporarily out of stock” (which, let’s be real, often means it’s about to drop!). But once pre-orders finally go live, you’ll be able to snag this stunning pad. And it’s not just about looks! The Hori Wireless HORIPAD Turbo comes packed with features like a convenient Turbo mode, reliable wireless connectivity with an impressive 33-foot range, and a solid 10 hours of gameplay on a single charge. Plus, it boasts high-quality TMR sticks designed for longevity, giving you precise control without the worry of common issues like stick drift.

Hori is known for releasing awesome accessories in waves, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this Umbreon and Espeon design extends beyond just the controller. Imagine a matching Nintendo Switch 2 case, a game card holder, or even a wired headset! If their past collections, like the adorable Kirby and Waddle Dee lineup, are anything to go by, gamers could be in for a treat with a whole suite of themed accessories.

While an official price hasn’t been locked in, based on previous Hori Wireless HORIPAD Turbo releases, this premium pad is expected to retail around the $64.99 (approx. Rs 18,070) mark. For an officially licensed, feature-rich, and incredibly stylish controller, that’s a pretty sweet deal for Pokémon enthusiasts and Nintendo Switch 2 owners.

So, keep your eyes peeled, fellow trainers! We’ll be sure to update you the moment this gorgeous Umbreon and Espeon controller becomes available. Your Nintendo Switch 2 setup is about to get a major glow-up!
