Hori has confirmed the launch in Japan of cases and controllers for Nintendo Switch 2 featuring designs of Sanrio characters Kuromi and Cinnamoroll. The accessories will arrive between August and September 2026. They include hard cases with capacity for ten games and small controllers with shiny details. This news allows fans to plan the customization of their console with official options.
Technical details of the Sanrio-licensed accessories 🎮
The hard cases offer protection for the console and space to store up to ten game cards. The controllers, reduced in size, feature finishes with shiny details that reflect the aesthetic of each character. Hori has designed these products as official accessories licensed by Sanrio, ensuring direct compatibility with the Nintendo Switch 2. Those who wish to purchase them will have to wait until the launch window in Japan, with no confirmed date for other markets.
The perfect wait to decorate your console with kawaii style ✨
If you thought you would have your Switch 2 ready by August with a Kuromi case, I regret to inform you that you will have to live with the original plastic for a few more months. But don't worry, because in the meantime you can practice your patience by watching videos of Cinnamoroll spinning around. That said, when the cases arrive, your console will shine so much that even the standard Joy-Cons will feel envious. The wait hurts, but the final shine makes up for it.
