There are a few important things to note if you’re looking to pick up a set for yourself. The first, is that they can only be used in handheld mode and take the place of the standard Switch Joy-Cons. Second, you can’t attach the two halves together to make an on the spot Switch Pro controller. Lastly, if the size doesn’t give it away, they won’t fit on the Switch console when it’s docked. If you want something like that instead you might want to consider the new Horipad, which also features the black and gold Pikachu design seen on the Split Pad Pro. Finally, alongside these, Hori will also be launching a left-only Black & Gold Pikachu Joy-Con that will come with a proper D-pad. No matching right Joy-Con appears to be available, so you’ll have to stick with whatever one you currently have on your Switch, like going out with a pair of unmatching socks on. It’s also scheduled for launch in November.
