The Nintendo Switch doesn't have an officially licensed guitar controller for Fortnite Festival, but it is getting a spiritual successor to a controller that was once bundled with Guitar Hero: On Tour for.... Nintendo DS. Yes, controller manufacturer CRKD is releasing a Fortnite Festival Edition of its impressive Neo S Controller with a 5-fret attachment. The Bluetooth controller is compatible with Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile and is available to preorder for $60 at Amazon ahead of its December 20 release.
Designed by the team behind Guitar Hero and DJ Hero controllers, the Neo S Fortnite Festival Edition is reminiscent to the 4-fret attachment that slotted into the Game Boy Advance slot on the DS. Playing Guitar Hero with cartridge slot attachment was actually pretty fun, so the Fortnite Festival Edition Neo S for Switch and PC sounds cool. Plus, the "Purple Wave" color scheme is arguably best-looking officially licensed Fortnite controller around.

The controller comes with a velcro wrist strap to keep it from flying across the room when in the middle of a guitar solo and a microfiber string bag for travel. CRKD says that it's compatible with Fortnite Festival on streaming platforms like Luna and Xbox Cloud Gaming, plus a wide range of other rhythm games.
