Xbox quietly unveils gorgeous new hardware we need immediately

Urgh, I’m in love with this new Xbox controller. The colours, the the finish, that D-pad is stunning. I need it, I want it.

Oh, sorry, this is supposed to be a news post about Xbox announcing a collaboration control with Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, but I got carried away.

The remake of one of the best RPGs of all time looks simply stunning

You can see the controller over on Twitter and it’s lush.

I think it’s the D-Pad that’s won me over. That metallic red pops off against the light blue of the body of the controller.

Not gonna lie, I’m feeling the yellow on the rear and shoulder buttons as well.

It’s got such a nice look to it and as it’s Xbox you know the build quality is there too.

I don’t even need a new controller. I only recently bought a blue one around six months ago, but this baby needs a loving home.

It helps that the controller is paired with one of my most anticipated games of the year.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake looks to be a belting way to experience one of Japan’s best RPGs and as a hardcare Dragon Quest fan, I’m super pumped to play this on release.

Now, do I buy the game on Xbox so I can use this controller while playing? Because the game is also coming to Switch, where I was eyeing it for portable play.

The Dragon Quest controller has been designed in Xbox Lab and, though you can’t see it on the Twitter post, it features metallic triggers on the back.

It can be yours, or mine, for £74.56 without any extra customisation, though I’m checking out grey thumbsticks for mine just to add another little difference.

Thanks for joining me on this purchasing journey, I’m sure my wallet will regret this, but my heart won’t.
