Sonic the Hedgehog f ans will soon get an opportunity to own an awesome new controller option for the Nintendo Switch! The latest in Hori`s line of Split Pad Pro controllers for the system will feature Sega`s blue blur in a gorgeous design, featuring the character`s trademark colour pattern. While the controller is not manufactured by Nintendo, it is fully licensed by the company, as well as by Sega. The controller is set to release on January 31st.

The Split Pad Pro is a design intended for players with bigger hands, or just those that want something bulkier than traditional Switch Joy-Cons. However, there are a number of additional differences. Most notably, the Split Pad Pro only works in handheld mode. It`s also missing some other features, including motion controls, HD Rumble, NFC support (amiibo), and the IR camera.
