<p>A retailer listing has revealed that the next GameCube-inspired Switch controller from gaming accessory maker PDP will feature a design based on none other than <strong>Sonic the Hedgehog</strong>.</p>
<p>The controller looks set to join PDP’s Wired Fight Pad Pro Controller collection, which already has designs featuring <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/10/pre-orders_are_now_open_for_these_customisable_gamecube_controllers_for_switch">Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon</a>, and <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/03/pdp_launches_luigi_and_peach_gamecube_controllers_for_nintendo_switch">Luigi and Peach</a>. Just like the previous designs, this Sonic controller comes with a 10-foot USB cable and a detachable C-stick, which can be swapped out for a more traditional style stick (which you can see in the images below) if you prefer.</p>
