Update: The new PowerA Sonic gear is starting to go up for sale on Amazon including the Sonic Peel Out PowerA Protection Case for Nintendo Switch at $19.99 and Sonic Boost PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch at $29.99. We will update this post as the rest begins to emerge.
In partnership with the folks at SEGA, PowerA is introducing a new range of Sonic the Hedgehog gaming accessories. The new collection, which includes a pair of themed controllers for Switch and Xbox as well as a Switch console protection case and a game card wallet of sorts, is being announced ahead of the fall launch of the latest entry in the series – Sonic Superstars – that made its debut during a Nintendo Direct presentation earlier this year. PowerA, a brand well-known for its officially licensed crossover collaborations with popular IP, is now taking on the fastest hedgehog in all the lands, and you can get a closer look at the gear down below.

Sonic is one of the most recognizable video game characters of all time! We are excited to be partnering with Power A to bring this core line of gaming peripherals to fans around the world,” said Michael Cisneros, Associate Director, Licensing.
