If you’re in the market for a new Nintendo Switch 2 case and happen to be a gigantic Animal Crossing fan, you might want to check out Play-Asia. Available as part of a new range of accessories, a bunch of Animal Crossing themed items are up for pre-order that include carrying cases, controllers, and even a pair of headphones.
As you can see in the promo image, peripheral manufacturer Hori has some new Horipad Turbo controllers themed after Celeste and “DIY Life.” Going for $69.99 each, they feature button remapping, turbo toggles, wireless connectivity, and even button locks. I’m not sure if they are an adequate replacement for an official Pro Controller, but they do offer nearly everything the Nintendo gamepad does.
Next up are three similar carrying pouches designed for Switch 2. Coming in the similar Celeste and DIY Life themes as well as a slightly more robust “Adventure Pack,” these pouches will run you $34.99 and feature some cute art from New Horizons on them. I’m actually quite fond of the Tommy and Timmy design. Since the Switch 2 is really just a slightly bigger Switch 1, the pouch will also work for all previous Switch consoles (OG, OLED, Lite).
I can’t forget the headphones, which are listed at $39.99 and include a microphone.
Lastly, there are two items from Keys Factory that include a “Straight Pouch” and a 16-game card case. The straight pouch is exactly as it sounds: a pouch that you put your Switch straight into. It has a nice KK illustration on it and is relatively cheap, coming in at $19.99. It’s not a bad deal if you just need basic protection when traveling. The card case goes for $12.99 and has some artwork from New Horizons on it. It’s not luxurious, but it looks to get the job done.
