If you’ve had your eye on a Switch 2 Pro Controller but haven’t yet pulled the trigger (they’re not cheap, granted), you’ve probably also had your eyes on the new Resident Evil-themed one.<\/p>\n

Well, Nintendo kindly sent one over to Nintendo Life Towers and we can confirm that it is indeed a Switch 2 Pro Controller \u2014 a pad we absolutely love<\/a> \u2014 now with some pleasantly subtle RE-detailing. What’s not to like?<\/p>\n

Back in the day, sure, we were all about<\/em> the gorily OTT RE chainsaw controller for GameCube, but two decades on? We’re a little more sophisticated than we used to be, perhaps. We don’t need<\/em> blood splatter over every prong of our pad, and this new one could sit on the side quite comfortably without alarming pets or family members.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at those little details, courtesy of our lovely video chap Alex, shall we? First, some close-ups, then a handful of moody shots that may well have been snapped in a Raccoon City warehouse! Or possibly Alex’s garage:<\/p>\n
