HORI will be releasing a new Joy-Con that will include a D-Pad, later this July in Japan. Fans have been begging for this sort of configuration but it has its own caveats. This new Joy-Con will only be playable in Handheld Mode and will not feature HD Rumble, an accelerometer or even any gyroscopic functionality.

This Joy-Con will be available for roughly $20-25 dollars. We’ll be sure to notify you on Twitter once it’s available for pre-order. For all things, Nintendo, stay tuned to NinMobileNews!
