Nintendo has announced the first colour variants for the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons and they are light purple and light green. The new Joy-Cons will be available at retail on February 12th. Pricing for the light purple and light green Joy-Cons has yet to be announced.
Okay… Wtf Nintendo, you can barely see the color 😒
I mean they look pretty good but i prefer the all colored og switch ones, they are probably doing this to differentiate them but idk, just put a big switch 2 label on the box and it’s probably fine?
But like original switch Joycons are small while switch 2 joycons are big, idk I think I wait on special editions until we see some good designs
Yeah, I mean you are basically gonna see the color change under the sticks and that’s it, the side will be hidden unless you play them detached without a grip which is like the worst way to use them, the red and blue og joycons are INSANELY iconic now, I don’t know why they are taking this sad all black route.
I love that idea. I was thinking the same thing.
Ooh that’s nice
I perfer the Nitro deck 2 for Switch 2. That’s what im pre ordering that way it feels more like a natural handheld
I’d rather indigo color like the GameCube controller. Not for the accent but the whole thing.
I like these!
They need to do full colors if they expect most people to buy extra joycon for style alone. Especially with how expensive they are. This is just plain boring.
You know that you can just buy new shells for the joy cons and swap them out? You can also get just about any color you want. And it is cheaper than buying a new set.
Let’s be real dude, the majority of the people who consume Nintendo products will never take the hassle to tear down insanely pricy controller just to change the color of them.
Yes, I did things like this when I was younger. Now that I’m older with more limited free time, I’d rather just get official variants. I don’t care to take the time to swap in a cheap and usually crappy custom shell. But I’m also not going to buy a lazy variant like these. Lose/lose situation right now. Oh well. Money saved.
What is the point of these, about as pointless as a full moon on a foggy night, I mean come on get real, where’s the actual proper new joy con colors like we had on the original switch, I was half expecting some new themed joy cons around Christmas, but not to be and now these!
If anyone of you actually owned a switch 2 you would know the gap between the joy con and the screen shows the color. It’s subtle but you will see the purple and green beyond the color beneath the joy sticks. It’ll make a difference
I own a Switch 2 and play exclusively in handheld mode. No, you don’t see the color in between the joycon and the Switch 2 unit. You really only see the colors under the joysticks.
I don’t really care about this one way or the other (wake me up when they do cool translucent shells again). I just wanted to correct you.
Minuscule, not enough. The only good thing might be to differentiate the joycons from others when playing with friends so they don’t get mixed up.
its cool
It takes about 20 min for anyone that wants to do it.
I will wait until we see some good designs first just like the original Switch has.
Wait is that one purple. Purple is my favorite color.
Should have been called the Luigi and Waluigi variants 😂
Imma be honest, I like the minimalistic use of color in the new Joycons.
With that said, I know I’m in the minority. Nintendo should really make more colorful/appealing joycons.
Part of the reason I bought so many Joy-Cons for SW1 was all the color variety (For lefts I have purple, pink, grey, and indigo; rights I have yellow, green, light blue, and orange). SW2 JCs are 93% grey with any other color, they’re just so… dull.
