Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Announced, Introducing New Features

Alongside disclosing the true function of the JoyCon’s C button, today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Presentation showcased a freshly designed Pro Controller. This upcoming controller is set to debut alongside the Nintendo Switch 2, slated for release on June 5th. The new controller will boast some innovative features that align with the enhanced capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2 console. Here’s a glimpse at what we learned about this latest Nintendo Pro Controller during today’s live broadcast.

Though the freshly designed JoyCons are captivating, certain gamers crave a more conventional control setup. Enter the Nintendo Pro Controller, which delivers a wireless gaming experience for titles that don’t necessitate JoyCon motion controls. Notably, the Nintendo Pro Controller is due for an upgrade when the Nintendo Switch 2 debuts, making full use of the exciting new capabilities of this next-gen console.

The traditional Nintendo Pro Controller appeals to gamers who aren’t fond of the new JoyCons. When the new Nintendo Switch arrives, this controller will be updated to take advantage of all its cool features.

The updated version of the Nintendo Switch 2’s pro controller will incorporate a novel C Button, designed to activate the GameChat function. Moreover, it comes equipped with an integrated audio jack at its peak, allowing players to engage in voice chats without needing additional equipment when using the Pro Controller. An added advantage is that you can utilize headphones for a more immersive gaming experience, while minimizing disturbances to others in the same room. This improvement on the Nintendo Switch 2 console is thrilling in its own right, but there’s more!

It’s particularly thrilling that the Pro Controller comes equipped with two freshly added buttons, labeled GL and GR. These buttons are strategically placed on the backside of the controller, near where you typically grip it. This gives gamers the ability to customize button functions for these two buttons, enhancing the flexibility and accessibility of the new controller.

The precise cost of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller hasn’t been unveiled just yet. As we get closer to the launch date of the Nintendo Switch 2, along with its accessories such as the Pro Controller and Web Cam, we can expect more information to be disclosed.
