All of which is set to arrive for just $25 at the end of the week.
As one of the more respected video game accessory makes in the industry, it’s no surprise that HORI is turning its attention to Nintendo’s latest release. Designed after the original Fighting Commander controller, this new version offers updated features reminiscent of Xbox One Elite and others.

What really sets HORI’s controller apart is that all six buttons, including left and right shoulder, are found on the front of the gamepad. This makes it an ideal companion for Street Fighter II, as its namesake suggests.
