The latest Donkey Kong-themed controller for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 is turning heads with its eye-catching lenticular artwork, blending style with solid functionality. Turtle Beach’s newly revealed Rematch Wireless Pro Controller: Donkey Kong Reveal is now available for preorder ahead of its October 12 release, offering fans a vibrant way to celebrate the franchise’s resurgence.
This officially licensed controller boasts up to 40 hours of battery life, motion controls, and two customizable back buttons, making it a versatile choice for extended gaming sessions. While it lacks the C button found on Nintendo’s first-party Pro Controller, its ergonomic design and Switch 2 compatibility ensure it won’t feel outdated when the new console arrives.
What truly sets this gamepad apart is its striking visual design. Featuring Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong racing through lush jungle scenery, the controller’s lenticular artwork shifts dynamically as you move it, revealing hidden details. The bold green, black, and red color scheme, paired with red back buttons and green triggers, makes it a standout piece for any collection.
For those who prefer alternatives, Nintendo’s own Switch 2 Pro Controller is also available at a slight discount, offering premium build quality and the missing C button. Meanwhile, the upcoming 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad promises enhanced features like trigger locks and additional remappable buttons, catering to players who favor a retro-inspired layout.
Whether you’re drawn to the Rematch for its aesthetics or its performance, this limited-edition controller is poised to be a must-have for Donkey Kong enthusiasts. With preorders now live, securing one early might be wise before stock runs low.
