Nintendo Poké Ball Plus Controller

The middle of this Poké Ball is a thumbstick.

The ball is the controller. In the two Pokémon: Let’s Go games on Switch, the little stick under your thumb steers and a throwing motion stands in for tossing a Poké Ball. A finger loop and wrist strap help keep the real ball in your hand.

WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EYE

A familiar object from the game has exactly the shape your hand expects. Hiding the stick in its centre turns that prop into a working input.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Check Nintendo’s compatible games before choosing it. A previously redeemed Mew cannot be claimed again from a used controller.
