The Pokémon Co. and Nintendo showed a new slate of Pokémon products for the smash hit Nintendo Switch console, including several new games and a Poké Ball Plus controller to help aspiring trainers round up their favorite Pokémon.
The controller includes motion controls, joy stick, top button, lights and sounds. It works with new games Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, where players team up with flagship characters Pikachu or Eevee to catch and battle Pokémon and meet other trainers.
The Poké Ball controller and the Let’s Go games will be released Nov. 16. When it’s out, the controller will also work with the Pokémon Go app, serving the same functions as the Pokémon Go Plus wearable device.
