Turtle Beach’s recently released Donkey Kong-themed controller is on sale for the first time in Amazon’s early Black Friday gaming sale. The Turtle Beach Rematch Donkey Kong Reveal Edition launched last month with a $60 price tag, but Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 owners can snag the officially licensed wireless controller for $49 while supplies last.
Announced just a few days after Donkey Kong Bananza’s July launch, the Donkey Kong Reveal Edition has lenticular artwork that changes when you tilt the controller. With the Switch 2 console and Donkey Kong Bananza sure to be a popular gifts this holiday, this Donkey Kong-inspired controller could be a great add-on present.

$49 (was $60) | Limited-time deal
Covered in hues of green and black with red accents, it features DK and Diddy Kong racing through the jungle. The back buttons are red while the triggers are green, which should make it stand out in your game room. Its lenticular design means that, as you move the controller, the design will slowly morph, revealing new layers of detail.
As for the internal tech, if you’ve ever used a PDP Rematch Wireless Controller, that’s essentially what this is. Turtle Beach acquired PDP in 2024 and has launched rebranded versions of select PDP accessories like the popular Rematch.
The Rematch syncs wirelessly to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles via Bluetooth and offers up to 40 hours of playtime on a full charge. It has two built-in back buttons that can be remapped on the fly and six-axis motion controls.
With superb ergonomics, solid buttons and triggers, and a stable, low-latency wireless connection, the Rematch is a decent alternative to Nintendo’s pricier Pro Controllers. But you will miss out on a few features with the Rematch–and most officially licensed Switch controllers–including rumble and NFC support for Amiibo. It also lacks the C Button found on the Joy Con 2 and Pro Controller 2.
There are better third-party Switch controllers at similar price points, including the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth with a travel case for $45 (was $70) and the newer Ultimate 2 Bluetooth for $63 (was $70), but the Rematch is the only one you can buy in stores today with a Donkey Kong theme.
