Another controller option is on its way for Nintendo Switch and it might be one of the most colorful yet. This new HORIDPAD Mini offers a smaller take on the HORIPAD, a controller that I’ve gotten a lot of use out of since it released. While it’s wired and lacks many of the key features of the Joy-Con and other, official Nintendo controllers, it’s still an affordable option with a dedicated D-Pad and some Super Mario flair for good measure.
The specs for this, per its press release, are below:
Nintendo Switch HORIPAD Mini (Super Mario) – $24.99 USD MSRP
Product Features:
- Comes with Home, Capture and + / – buttons
- Turbo functionality
- Works great for casual & retro games
- Designed with young gamers in mind
- Beautiful full-color Super Mario design
- Cable Length: 9.8ft/ 3.0m
- Officially Licensed by Nintendo
What you’ll be missing out in will be the amiibo/NFC reader, rumble of any kind, and gyro controls. If you’re after a lighter, more compact controller for Switch you can pre-order the Super Mario HORIPAD Mini now, with its release date set for September 1st.

When he isn’t writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky’s anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he’ll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.
