Nintendo Announces New Colors for Switch 2 Joy-Cons

Launch Date Set for February Release

Nintendo has introduced its first set of color alternatives for the Switch 2 Joy-Cons. These fresh variations, in light purple and light green, are scheduled to debut on February 12, coinciding with the launch of Mario Tennis Fever. Pre-orders for these vibrant controllers are now open, priced at $100, and they come with coordinating wrist-straps.

Distinctive Features of Switch 2's Latest Joy-Con Color Edition

Apart from their eye-catching colors, these Joy-Con 2 controllers are equipped with their usual features: motion controls, HD rumble, a dedicated C Button for GameChat, and mouse compatibility for supported games. Interestingly, the coloring is applied to the inner rails, a design choice that makes the colors barely visible when the Joy-Cons are attached to the Switch 2 console, except near the thumbsticks. Previously, Joy-Con color designs covered the entire outer shell. Moreover, the new hues are a stark contrast to the default light blue and orange accents on the inner facets of the console.

In addition to unveiling the new Joy-Con 2 variants, Nintendo has also shared an in-depth gameplay video for the upcoming Mario Tennis Fever, also dropping on February 12. The footage highlights several key gameplay elements such as the "fever shots," the frosty ice racket, and dynamic moves like sliding and diving, all adding to the excitement.
