Shadow the Hedgehog Nintendo Switch Controller Launches in December

As a long-time enthusiast of all things Sonic, this latest announcement from PDP has me absolutely ecstatic! The Shadow Space Colony ARK Realmz Wireless Controller is not just a gamepad, but a tribute to one of my favorite characters from the franchise.

The companies Turtle Beach and PDP have unveiled a fresh themed Nintendo Switch controller centered around Shadow the Hedgehog. This year has been fantastic for Shadow, who has starred in his own game and even had a significant movie release. It’s only fitting that he receives a PDP Realmz controller to match his fellow Sonic. The new controller is called the Shadow Space Colony ARK Realmz Wireless Gamepad, and it can be pre-ordered on Amazon, with deliveries expected in December.

In the Shadow Space Colony ARK edition, you’ll find design elements shared with other controllers in the Realmz Collection, but with a unique twist. The left grip sports the phrase “Chaos Control” in bold red letters, while an ironic touch sees Shadow imprisoned within the right grip after tirelessly battling for his freedom. The remainder of the controller is inspired by the hedgehog, boasting red and black buttons, and a diorama that highlights memorable moments from the Sonic series, including scenes from the latest release, Sonic X Shadow Generations.

Costing $65, this Shadow-themed gamepad offers exceptional gaming features including gyro motion control and customizable LED illumination. It boasts a battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge, and its impressive 30-foot wireless range allows for comfortable play from your sofa. However, it’s compatible only with Nintendo Switch consoles. If you own a PS5 or Xbox Series X, we suggest considering other Realmz special-edition controllers like the Sonic Speed Wired Controller.

Previously Released Sonic the Hedgehog Realmz Controllers from PDP

I’ve noticed that on more than one occasion, PDP has amazed me by fitting an entire hedgehog inside one of their gaming controllers! Previously, they’ve delighted fans of the iconic Sonic franchise with a series of controllers themed around this speedy character.

For instance, there’s the previously mentioned Sonic Speed Realmz Wired Controller, which features Sonic’s iconic blue color scheme, and other editions for Tails and Knuckles. However, if you plan to take the new Sonic X Shadow Generations game for a spin, there’s no better feeling than using Shadow’s own controller. Fans can pre-order the Shadow Space Colony ARK Realmz Wireless Controller today, with orders expected to ship on December 7.
