- Hyperkin announced a new collaboration with Crunchyroll
- This includes new Nintendo Switch accessories inspired by Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
- Two controllers and two cases have been revealed
Gaming hardware brand Hyperkin has teamed up with Crunchyroll to launch a new line of anime gaming accessories. The first batch features designs inspired by the hugely popular show Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
As revealed in a recent X/Twitter post, four products are on the way. This includes two cute new variants of the Hyperkin Pixel Art controller and two unique Eva cases for the Nintendo Switch. In my eyes, the controllers are definitely the star of the show here because they look absolutely stunning.
One of them comes in an almost duck-egg blue color scheme, decorated with a print of the protagonist Frieren wielding a stick. The shiny gold buttons and bright red power and turbo buttons add a nice pop of contrasting color. The other controller is even better, though, with the same duck egg blue hue, but introducing soft lilac thumbsticks and using a pretty baby pink for its D-pad, start and select buttons, and power buttons. face.
It is complemented by a beautiful print depicting Frieren in a field of flowers under a sky with a perfectly matching gradient. As with the standard Hyperkin Pixel Art controller, both models are fully compatible with Nintendo Switch, PC and mobile. They weigh just 0.65lb/294.8g and, thanks to their small Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller-style shape, feel incredibly compact.
Wear with style
The two cases are a little less exciting, but still pretty cool, as they both have similar designs to the controllers, so you can match them for a fully coordinated setup. Both have printed graphics on their hard shells and can fit a Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch OLED, or Nintendo Switch Lite thanks to a removable foam insert.
Since these are just cases, there aren’t many special features here, but they do have storage space for up to eight game cartridges as well as space for small accessories such as cables. They also both have small carrying handles, making it easy to transport your console without a backpack.
There’s no official word on pricing or even a release date for these items at the moment, but we hope the wait won’t be that long.
