What otherwise might be granted the same score for the Enhanced Wireless series from PowerA, there’s little difference aside from the aesthetics. While wrapping up my review of the Timmy & Tommy Nook controller, I considered some of the flaws I found in the Witcher 3 controller. It did however point out the drawback of lacking the ability to charge the controller while playing. Of course I joke, as the included batteries probably came down to a random luck of the draw. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were directly sourced from Tom Nook himself. With the Timmy & Tommy Nook version it was some off-brand which died in mere hours. For whatever reason, the batteries included with the Witcher 3 controller were a name brand company and lasted a lot longer. This hadn’t bothered me much in the past until I ran out of juice and couldn’t find any spares.
For the cost difference it seems like a good trade off.įinally, the Enhanced Wireless controller is battery power only. The PowerA controller doesn’t have the same heft to it which isn’t a shock considering the reduced features. All of these features are an added bonus in my mind and I hardly put them to use. The motion controls still felt a bit loose and sensitive. Though it lacks the HD rumble and amiibo support, motion controls are present.

When comparing the many controllers on the market, the Enhanced Wireless controller is closest related to Nintendo’s own Pro Controller. Using the Animal Crossing controller brought a smile to my face, if for nothing else, than to serve as a reminder that the release of it’s companion game is on the horizon. Otherwise, the LED offers clear indication of which player the controller is set for.
After using it for some time, I stopped caring and soon ignored it. Once night fell or when using it in a dark room, it was a glaring annoyance at first. It wasn’t noticeable during daytime or in lighter settings. One gripe I will call out, is that the LED does shine through the plastic. Patterned with the famous Leaf from the series it represents, it makes good use of the branding. With the drab Winter winding down making way for the brighter Spring, it was a pleasant option to have for greater daylight gaming. I love the vibrant green used for the Timmy & Tommy Nook controller. This made combat much easier as before I would accidentally hit the wrong thing, sometimes warping me out of a dungeon, only to have to backtrack and start again. Rather than fumble with multiple button presses, I learned I could map two buttons simultaneously to one of the “AG” triggers on the Enhanced Wireless controller. In the aforementioned game, to cast additional spells, you’re required to hold the R button in addition to another to cast. This time, I found great use with Rune Factory 4. The ease of pairing the controller hasn’t changed and I wasted no time in putting the mappable buttons to work.
Everything felt solid while playing and the controls had a smooth flow. The buttons didn’t have a loose wiggle to them I had experienced before. I noticed right away that the construction and feel was a lot tighter. To kick things off, I’m going to do a quick comparison between the Animal Crossing Timmy & Tommy Nook controller to my recently reviewed Witcher 3 controller of the same Enhanced Wireless line from PowerA. Join me as I take a look at the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller, Timmy and Tommy Nook edition from Animal Crossing. Thus, franchise tie-ins are a natural movement in the right direction. As video games have embedded themselves into our way of life and become less a topic of shame and more a source of pride, one of the perks is companies finding better ways to market their gear. What I wouldn’t have given to go back and play Chrono Trigger again with a themed SNES controller. Not long ago, just a few console generations back, variety was limited on the accessory front. It’s great to have alternate options especially when franchises you love have a chance of being represented. PowerA has a diverse lineup of Nintendo Switch accessories.
