<figure class="picture strip"><a title="(Left) Hori, (Right) PowerA" href="https://images.nintendolife.com/bb62e988275c3/left-hori-right-powera.original.jpg"><img src="https://images.nintendolife.com/bb62e988275c3/left-hori-right-powera.900x.jpg" width="900" height="506" alt="(Left) Hori, (Right) PowerA"></a></figure>
<p>The Switch is receiving not one but two new officially licensed Mario themed controllers this September. The smaller pad is from HORI and the regular-sized one is from PowerA.</p>
<p>The Horipad Mini is designed for younger players with tiny hands. Despite its size, this mini pad comes with dual analog sticks, a D-Pad and all the <em>other</em> “essential” buttons you need to operate a Switch. It’s built for plug-and-play compatibility and features a cable length of 9.8ft/ 3.0m (so there’s no charging necessary) – although it excludes NFC, rumble and gyro.</p>
<p>It launches on 1st September for $24.99 USD, and <a class="external" href="https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Super-Mario-Officially-Licensed/dp/B08897HH8D?tag=nlife-20" rel="nofollow">pre-orders are now open</a>.</p>
