A new Sonic-themed Nintendo Switch controller is raising eyebrows.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Video game peripheral designer HORI has a new Sonic-themed Nintendo Switch
Pro Controller on the way. But while it might give fans of the blue hedgehog something new to get their hands around, its design is raising a few
eyebrows.

First and foremost, the controller (first spotted by Creative Bloq ) is something of an eyesore. In a hodgepodge of blue and white stripes, theres an image of Sonic mid-run plastered on its righthand side, a Sonic logo stuck on its left grip, a HORI logo down the center, and a dark patch on the right grip. It's finished off with a combination of blue and red buttons, and
analog sticks. Minimalism was not on the design brief this time around.

But more striking is the unfortunate placement of the right analog stick in relation to Sonics crotch. With his right leg bent upwards protruding from
his waist, the stick placed just at its tip, and both parts colored exactly the same shade of blue, your mind is easily drawn to an area of Sonics
anatomy youd rather not think about. Although its not so obvious at first glance, its difficult to unsee the outline of Sonics unmentionables once pointed out (sorry).

This isnt the only officially licensed Nintendo Switch Pro Controller HORI
has released. Its designed similar gamepads featuring Mario , Yoshi , and Princess Peach . There's also a Sonic-themed Split Pad Pro that slots on in place of the Joy Cons alongside the consoles screen. Fortunately, none of those designs include accidental suggestions of their characters private areas.

The Sonic Nintendo Switch Pro controller is due to release on June 9 for $59.99 which is around 45.80 / AU$ 82.70. Thats only a couple of months after the new Sonic 2 movie will hit cinemas so you won't have to wait long to get your hands on Sonic's hardware.
