The Switch will receive not one, but two new officially licensed Mario theme controllers this September. The smaller pad is from HORI and the regular size is from PowerA.

The Horipad Mini is designed for younger players with small hands. Despite its size, this mini pad comes with dual analog sticks, a D-Pad and all that other “essential” buttons you need to operate a Switch. It’s built for plug-and-play compatibility and has a cable length of 9.8ft / 3.0m (so no charge is required) – though it excludes NFC, clutter and gyro.

It launches on September 1st for $ 24.99 USD, and pre-orders are now open.
