Anyone who has been keeping up with Nintendo news over the past year or so can attest that the lead-up to the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a wild ride. For the longest time fans were eagerly looking for any news or rumors related to the system, and any insider…

The incredible folks at PDP were kind enough to send us three of their upcoming Wired Fight Pads made for the Nintendo Switch. The designs include Pikachu from Pokémon, Legend of Zelda’s Hylian Shield, and Mario from Super Mario Bros., and they’re all stunning! In fact, their makeups are so…
