Accessory manufacturer Hori has announced a new, ambitious arcade stick for the Switch 2: the Hori Arcade Classic Pro.

Officially licensed by Nintendo, the Classic Pro is unique in that it has two modular components on the left and right sides of the device. You’ve got four directional control options: a standard arcade stick, a trackball, a paddle, and a loop lever. The latter functions like an arcade stick, but you can also rotate the lever for an additional control scheme. So you can swap out the module as you see fit, making for quite a customisable experience.

The advertising seems to lean toward using the Classic Pro in conjunction with Hamster’s Arcade Archives games, though presumably you could just use the device with any title on Switch 2.

There are no details regarding a western release at the time of writing (that we can see), but the controller is available on Hori’s Japan website for 39,980 yen (about $258 / £191). We’ll keep an eye out for more details, because aside from the slightly dodgy trailer (you couldn’t get a real person to demonstrate it?), it looks awesome.

Hori has also included a more in-depth look via the video below if you want to see more. There are also no weird CGI hands in this one.

This product is compatible with fighting games, shooting games, and the “Arcade Archives” series.
