If you love Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> and glorious pieces of gaming hardware as much as we do, you’ll probably have a pretty hard time resisting this one. A Kickstarter crowdfunding project has recently launched offering backers a custom Switch Pro Controller featuring any<\/em> character design they like from the game, and it’s proving to be mighty popular.<\/p>\n

Initially, the project had a goal of $7,500 – controllers will be made for every character regardless of whether or not someone chooses them, all to be included in a special artbook release – but this target was smashed<\/em> in just four and a half hours. At the time of writing, total funds are nearing $25,000 with 27 days still left to go.<\/p>\n

So how exactly does it work? Well, as well as cheaper options which will give you a discount on the finished book and put your name in the credits, the main backing option (set at $85) lets you pick up a customised Pro Controller featuring whichever character you like. You can see some more mock-ups below.<\/p>\n

The crowdfunding page notes that the base controllers are not official Nintendo Pro Controllers – although you can upgrade to one of those at extra cost. The controllers used look and function almost the same, although amiibo functionality is not supported.<\/p>\n

You can learn more about this and get your own controller via the Kickstarter link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
