Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless Controller: Mario Bricks Review By Britt "Ladies and gentlemen… we have a winner." 🎮 @TurtleBeach

I’ve covered a lot of controllers during my ten years here at The Mighty GF, and I really do have some favourites that are still with me, but the Turtle Beach Rematch Mario Bricks controller for the Switch (and Switch 2) is the controller so good that I would ‘accidentally’ drop it onto a bar just before closing time in front of a hot girl like it was the key to a Dodge Viper in order to seduce her instantly. And it would work.

In a world of so many options, wherein you can get lost in the sheer choice and amount of variables, Turtle Beach have honed in on the most appealing aspects of gaming, designing and delivering a controller that is a pure celebration of the Super Mario franchise itself. 

Put aside the fact that this features customisable back buttons, has a USB-C based rechargeable battery that lasts for up to forty hours of gameplay, and features up to 30-foot low latency wireless connection, or that the smooth thumb sticks and satisfying triggers and buttons feel like they would last years – I could say that about many controllers – but just look at it.

This is a controller that exudes history and passion. When I found out I would be receiving one to review, I didn’t realise that the main image across the main body of the controller was lenticular, and I didn’t - at the time - click with how the colouring of the buttons on the fascia were a nod back to the C buttons on the N64 trident. 

There’s a smoothness in the visuals and design that bolsters the build quality. When the controller arrived, I pored over the shine that bounced off the artwork like it was some sort of futuristic device, and when my fiancée came home and spotted it on the table, I wandered in – holding two glasses of red wine, natch – to find her turning it over in her hands and exploring it like it was a piece of art. 

“This is beautiful” were her opening words. This might seem overkill, but in the world of video game controllers, where there are myriad variations on a theme, the Turtle Beach Mario Bricks controller is refreshing in its approach.

A controller that harks back to layouts and colour schemes of Super Mario games through the ages, the Turtle Beach Mario Bricks controller makes any gaming station pop.

Right, who’s up for a blast on Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
