PowerA Unveils Kirby-Themed Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch Launching August 8

PowerA, a prominent developer of licensed gaming accessories, has announced the launch of a new Kirby-themed wireless controller designed for the Nintendo Switch.

Set to release on August 8, this officially licensed accessory is priced at $45 USD (or local equivalents) and adds a playful touch to Switch gaming with its vibrant design featuring Nintendo’s iconic pink character, Kirby. This latest addition to PowerA’s extensive lineup of Nintendo Switch controllers maintains the company’s reputation for bringing character-inspired peripherals to the market.

The new wireless Kirby controller incorporates features tailored for regular and competitive play, including two advanced gaming buttons that can be mapped according to player preference.

Continuing PowerA’s standard, the controller operates on AA batteries, allowing for quick swaps and eliminating the need for recharging during extended gaming sessions. However, the Kirby wireless controller omits some functions found in Nintendo’s official Joy-Con and Pro Controller options.

Notably, it does not support HD Rumble, motion controls, the IR camera, or amiibo NFC functionality.

This focused feature set is in line with PowerA’s aim to deliver reliable wireless connectivity and customizable buttons at an affordable price point, while offering fans a unique accessory themed after one of Nintendo’s most beloved characters. A spokesperson from PowerA stated that the Kirby Wireless Controller aims to provide Nintendo Switch owners "a fun and functional option for fans who want to showcase their love for Kirby while enjoying reliable performance and additional customization features." The company continues to partner closely with Nintendo to craft officially licensed controllers celebrating flagship characters and franchises. PowerA’s Nintendo Switch accessories, including specialty controllers such as this Kirby model, are available through major retailers, as well as online via the company’s official website and the Nintendo eShop’s accessory recommendations.

With the August 8 release, both longtime Kirby fans and Nintendo Switch players seeking standout controllers have a new option to consider.

For more details and purchasing information, PowerA recommends visiting their official site or authorized retail partners.

The PowerA Kirby Wireless Controller stands as another testament to the growing trend of personalized and character-themed accessories for Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.
