The season for giving is nearly upon us, and if you're at a loss for what to gift the gamer in your life, we've got your back. Thanks to a new Amazon deal, you can pick up a great PowerA Enhanced Nintendo Switch wireless controller with a Pokémon-inspired design for just $40, saving you $29.99. That price also makes this alternative almost half as cheap as the official Nintendo Switch Pro controller, so it also makes sense if you're looking for something for your own setup.
For those who don't know, PowerA is responsible for some of the best phone controllers and best Switch controllers around, offering an often more affordable alternative to the rest without skimping on quality. It's compatible with both the Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2 and even features a GameChat button for the latter, so you don't have to miss out on any in-game social features.
This Nintendo Switch controller's design features two classic Pokémon, Pikachu and Gengar, duking it out anime style. It also offers upwards of 30 hours of charge, which is more than you get from most controllers, so that you can keep gaming for upwards of two days - provided you're doing the sensible thing and also sleeping - without having to reach for the charger.
The reviews for this controller speak for themselves, with a solid score of 4.6/5 from over 300 customers. If you love the design of this accessory, you can also pick up a matching case, complete with Gengar and Pikachu, for just $18.59, down from $19.99. Both make for great gifts, but honestly, I'm tempted to pick them up for myself.
The final thing worth mentioning is that this is a limited-time deal, so you need to act fast if you want to secure a new Nintendo Switch controller. Given the recent release of the much-anticipated Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC, this is the perfect accessory to use when playing through all the new content over the holidays.
