As summer is beginning to heat up, Nintendo is getting its Switch audience in the mood with the help of four new colour options for the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. All sporting soft, powdery, pastel-tones, Nintendo is rolling out these swatches to help its audience add a new splash of colour to their Switch setup.
The new colour options come in packs of two. The first pack features one Pastel Pink Joy-Con (L) and one Pastel Yellow Joy-Con (R). The second pack includes one Pastel Purple Joy-Con (L) and one Pastel Green Joy-Con (R). Of course, both packs also feature the standard black Joy-Con wrist strap for both controllers.
Give your Switch Joy-Cons a summer colour splash
Nintendo has updated their landing page with the various Nintendo Switch Joy-Con colour waves to also now feature the new pastel options.
Both of the new packs are being offered for the standard MSRP of the other Joy-Con packs which is $79.99 USD. They’ll be available as of June 30, 2023.
For now, it doesn’t seem that you’ll be able to get a set of two matching Joy-Con with the same colour; just the complementary pairs. That said, however, “there is another way!”
Popular tech skin/wrap-making company, “dbrand,” actually has Nintendo beat to the tropical fruit punch.
For quite some time now, dbrand has been offering a slew of various skin designs for not just the Switch Joy-Con, but the console and dock, too. That said, dbrand has its own slew of summery-themed color options that not only predate Nintendo’s incoming designs, but also look very similar to what Nintendo is about to offer. Perhaps, this might be Nintendo’s payback for dbrand being so bold as to have created skins for the Steam Deck that make it look very similar to the neon-colored Switch? But, hey, “that’s just a theory—a Game Theory!”, as the kid’s say.
