Resident Evil Pro Controller for Switch 2 Now Available for Pre-Order at Premium Price

Nintendo fans and Resident Evil enthusiasts have a new collectible to anticipate, as the Resident Evil Pro Controller for Nintendo Switch 2 is now available for pre-order.

Announced shortly after its official reveal, this custom controller is designed to celebrate the upcoming release of Resident Evil Requiem from Capcom, one of the most enduring names in survival horror.

The Resident Evil Pro Controller for Switch 2 immediately drew attention with its premium price tag.

UK customers can reserve the controller for £83.99 through the My Nintendo store, notably higher than the standard Pro Controller’s retail price of £74.99.

In the United States, Best Buy has opened pre-orders at $99.99, compared to the usual $89.99 for a regular Pro Controller.

This pricing demonstrates the controller’s status as a collector’s item and aligns with the growing trend of themed Nintendo accessories carrying a premium. Visually, the controller features exclusive artwork inspired by Resident Evil Requiem, prominently displaying franchise iconography and the Switch 2 logo as part of the design.

While some fans have commented that the placement of the Switch 2 logo covers parts of the Resident Evil branding and graphic elements, the overall design still manages to appeal to collectors and dedicated fans of the series. Although it may not rival the legendary Chainsaw Controller that debuted alongside the GameCube classic, the new Resident Evil Pro Controller stands out as an official, Nintendo-licensed third-party peripheral—a rarity for themed controllers tied to major releases.

Its launch marks a notable collaboration between Nintendo and Capcom, further strengthening the connection between the Resident Evil franchise and the Nintendo hardware ecosystem. Both Resident Evil Requiem and the Resident Evil Pro Controller for Switch 2 are scheduled for release on February 27, 2026.

In addition, a Grace Ashcroft amiibo is set to launch later in Summer 2026, adding further value for collectors and completists. For those looking to secure the Resident Evil Pro Controller, pre-orders are live now at authorized retailers, including the My Nintendo store in the UK and Best Buy in the US.

As with many limited-edition gaming accessories, early reservation is advised, given the strong demand typical for themed hardware and Resident Evil merchandise.

This high-profile accessory launch underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to offering unique experiences—and exclusive collectibles—on the new Switch 2 platform as it continues to expand its hardware and game library.
