Nintendo fans and Resident Evil enthusiasts have a new piece of collectible hardware to covet: the limited-edition Resident Evil-themed Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
This collaboration between Nintendo and Capcom brings together the premium design of the Switch 2 Pro Controller with subtle stylistic nods to the iconic survival horror franchise, offering a fresh option for gamers seeking both function and flair. For years, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has been regarded as one of the top choices for Switch hardware accessories, praised for its ergonomic design and robust feature set.
The introduction of the Switch 2 Pro Controller aims to build on that legacy, and the Resident Evil edition delivers additional excitement for fans of the enduring Capcom series.
Where the GameCube era delivered extravagant controllers like the infamous RE chainsaw variant, the new Resident Evil Pro Controller strikes a more refined balance, replacing overt references with understated details and familiar motifs from the Resident Evil universe. The controller, as reviewed by Nintendo Life and featured in exclusive images by Alex Olney, showcases well-crafted RE-inspired accents that set it apart from the standard model.
Nintendo’s latest peripheral is designed to catch the eye of collectors without alienating those who prefer more minimalist aesthetics.
According to representatives, the design was intentionally kept subtle so that the controller could seamlessly fit into a modern gaming setup, blending function and fandom in equal measure. A viewing of the controller, featuring close-ups and atmospheric photography reminiscent of Resident Evil’s moody environments, reveals nuanced color differences and design cues that pay homage to the franchise’s history.
The Resident Evil Switch 2 Pro Controller stands in contrast to older themed hardware, notably omitting exaggerated or graphic elements in favor of tasteful branding.
This approach appeals to fans who appreciate a mature, sophisticated homage rather than overtly graphic references. Currently available via select retailers and the Nintendo eShop, the Resident Evil Pro Controller offers the same stellar performance as its predecessor, including a responsive D-pad, HD rumble, and motion controls, now fitted within a shell worthy of Capcom’s legendary series.
While the controller is marketed as a premium accessory, its exclusivity and design are poised to make it a must-have for fans of both Nintendo and Resident Evil. For a closer comparison with the standard Switch 2 Pro Controller, fans can check out detailed unboxing and review videos on Nintendo Life’s official channels.
As Nintendo continues to roll out collaborations with major franchises, this thoughtfully designed piece of hardware showcases the company’s ongoing commitment to both innovation and the celebration of beloved gaming IPs.
