Pokken Tournament has been out for a few days now, and the general consensus is that it’s pretty awesome. Bandai Namco’s Wii U Pokemon fighting game is based on an arcade game that was released into Japanese arcades last year and became a huge hit.

And if you want a Wii U controller tailored for Pokken Tournament, you should check out Hori’s new controller.

Officially called the Hori Pokken Tournament Pro Pad controller, it will be released in North America on April 8th, and will retail for $25.

However, some retailers started selling the controller earlier — for example, you can get it on Amazon right now.

The Pro Pad controller based on the original arcade controller design, which was also done by Hori, so we know it’s not just some mish-mash they put together to cash in on the game.
