Deal | PowerA’s Switch 2-compatible Mario Joy-themed wireless gaming controller discounted to all-time lowest price on Amazon

Early Black Friday sales are going into full swing. Currently, the PowerA Amazon storefront has slashed the Mario Joy wireless controller price by a massive 46% or $23 for a limited time, bringing the price down from $49.99 to just $26.99. This means it’s a good chance for gamers to grab a wireless controller at this discounted price point. Camel’s price history suggests that the current price marks the all-time lowest price recorded for this model. 

Design-wise, the wireless controller looks quite appealing. You get a red color scheme with Mario graphics. Besides the Mario Joy-themed design, it has a Nintendo-style layout, which is adorned with precision-tuned analog sticks, a full-size D-pad, ABXY action buttons, shoulder buttons (L/R/ZL/ZR), and some extra buttons. Unfortunately, it lacks C-button, which means gamers can’t access Gamechat features directly from the controller. 

Plus, the wireless controller also doesn’t support HD rumble, IR, or Amiibo NFC. On the positive side, the entry-level controller has motion control support, which is said to offer a dynamic and unique gaming experience. Dimensionally, the wireless controller measures 6.02 x 4.41 x 2.48 inches (152.9 x 112 x 62.9 mm) and weighs around 7.06 ounces (200 grams), making it travel-friendly. 

The Mario Joy is compatible with only Nintendo platforms, including Nintendo Switch Lite, the Switch OLED model, the original Switch, and Switch 2. It’s powered by two AA rechargeable batteries that promise up to 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge. If we look at Amazon reviews, the controller scored a solid 4.6 out of 5 stars across 1,980+ user ratings, with users all for its ergonomic design and long-lasting battery life. 

All told, the PowerA wireless controller for Nintendo Switch is a decent option for anyone who is on the lookout for a reliable and good-looking controller without breaking the bank.
