Sanrio\u2019s two most-iconic rivals are about to invade your Nintendo Switch 2 setup. Peripheral brand HORI has announced the \u201cKuromi to Cinnamoroll Series for Nintendo Switch 2\u201d \u2014 four officially licensed accessories, split evenly between the goth-pop Kuromi and the cloud-soft Cinnamoroll, on sale in Japan from August 2026.<\/p>\n

Two product types, two characters each:<\/p>\n

Horipad TURBO Mini for Nintendo Switch 2<\/strong> \u2014 a compact wired controller (13\u202fcm \u00d7 7\u202fcm, 170\u202fg) built around a clear glitter shell, a rapid-fire function (5, 10, or 20 shots per second), a C button for in-game voice chat, and a 3-metre USB-A cable. The Kuromi edition launches in August 2026<\/strong> at \u00a53,980 (around SGD\u202f35); the Cinnamoroll version follows in September 2026<\/strong> at the same price. Crucially, both controllers are compatible with Nintendo Switch 2, the original Switch, and Switch OLED \u2014 so Singapore gamers who haven\u2019t upgraded yet can still join in.<\/p>\n

Pukkuri Hybrid Pouch for Nintendo Switch 2<\/strong> \u2014 a semi-hard carry case with a dual-layer lid, EVA reinforcement, a ruched-fabric carry handle, and a character charm on the zip. It holds the Switch 2 console plus up to ten game cards. Pricing is approximately \u00a54,480 per pouch (around SGD\u202f39), with Kuromi shipping in August and Cinnamoroll following shortly after.<\/p>\n

Glitter, Sweets, and Pure Character Energy<\/h2>\n

The design language is exactly what fans of either character would expect. Kuromi\u2019s controller is deep translucent purple, packed with glitter, dessert stickers, and a scene of Kuromi sipping a milk tea \u2014 her signature skull logo even peers through the see-through faceplate. Cinnamoroll\u2019s take is sky-blue and icy-clear, with lemon-yellow analogue sticks, floating star decals, and a lemon-tart motif that suits his dreamy, fluffy personality down to a tee.<\/p>\n

Both controllers carry the Official Nintendo Licensed Product seal and the \u00a9\u202f2026 SANRIO CO., LTD. approval mark. The full lineup made its public debut at Sanrio Fes 2026 in Minato Mirai, Yokohama, where all four products were on display on 27\u201328 June 2026 \u2014 making this one of the freshest product announcements to emerge from Japan this weekend.<\/p>\n

Can Singapore Fans Get These HORI Sanrio Controllers?<\/h2>\n

No international release has been announced \u2014 both controllers and pouches are currently Japan-only and listed for sale on Amazon Japan and Rakuten. Singapore fans who want them will need to import, either directly or through a parcel-forwarding service. At roughly SGD\u202f35 per controller before shipping, they sit at the more affordable end of officially licensed Switch 2 accessories available from Japan, and the backward compatibility with original Switch and Switch OLED makes them worthwhile even for those who haven\u2019t upgraded.<\/p>\n

HORI has been releasing a steady stream of character-themed Switch 2 peripherals in Japan \u2014 recent drops have covered Kirby, Animal Crossing, and a range of Pok\u00e9mon themes. Whether this Sanrio line gets a SEA or global roll-out is unconfirmed; keep an eye on HORI\u2019s official website<\/a> for any updates.
