The third-party gaming accessory company PowerA has announced a brand-new wireless controller for Nintendo Switch that rocks a design inspired by the Pokémon franchise's coveted Master Ball. There has been quite a bit of pocket monster news for fans of the series as of late, with the latest entries on Switch, Sword and Shield, set to receive a new Mythical monster known as Zarude. While fans await further details on catching that critter, the arrival of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution on Netflix (an animated retelling of the original film) is something fans can dive into right now.
Of course, the Pokémon Day 2020 celebration didn't stop there, with all kinds of reveals from partners of The Pokémon Company happening throughout the course of the big day. The Nintendo subsidiary had partnerships ranging from new shirts to Pokémon sculptures created by one of New York's most famous artists. So, of course, some gaming accessory companies jumped on the opportunity to announce a slew of new Poké products.
This is where PowerA came into play, announcing a limited-edition Master Ball controller for Nintendo Switch via its official Twitter account. While the biggest reveal from the company is the aforementioned Master Ball controller (which is a limited release exclusively on Amazon), PowerA also revealed Ultra Ball, Great Ball, and Poké Ball variants of the Switch remote. All of which look like perfect companions for anyone that's keen to show off their pocket monster fandom.
It's fitting that there's only a limited supply of the Master Ball controller, as the item is notoriously limited in the actual Pok̩mon games as well. More often than not, players are only able to obtain one Master Ball per playthrough, so this is a fun way to pay tribute to the source material Рwhile also creating a 'fear of missing out' amongst collectors. All in all, Pok̩mon Day 2020 appears to have been a huge success for fans, with plenty of cool products now available or en route.
At the very least, PowerA's Nintendo Switch Master Ball controller should prove to be less divisive than Google's list of the 10 most popular Pokémon. Now, if only that DLC for Pokémon Sword and Shield could arrive sooner rather than later to give players something more to sink their teeth into.
