Nintendo has announced the debut of two new colors for the Joy-Con 2 controllers. This exciting development will coincide with the release of the highly anticipated game, Mario Tennis Fever, on February 12.
New Joy-Con 2 Colors Unveiled
The newly introduced colors are “Light Purple” and “Light Green.” These vibrant additions follow the design aesthetics of the original Joy-Con 2 controllers.
Design Features
- The new controllers feature color accents on the joystick and connection points.
- The main shell remains predominantly dark gray.
Previously, the only available Joy-Con 2 colors were red and blue. These were the standard options included with the Nintendo Switch 2 console. This limited selection is fewer than what was available for the original Nintendo Switch, which offered both a Red/Blue model and a gray version.
Customization Opportunities
The introduction of these new colors offers a chance for players to customize their controllers. This is especially beneficial for households with multiple Nintendo Switch 2 consoles or for multiplayer sessions with friends.
Pricing Information
The new Joy-Con 2 controllers are now available for pre-order on Nintendo’s website. Each pair is priced at $99.99, the same as the previously released red and blue variants. This reflects Nintendo’s trend of increasing prices for its accessories.
Market Performance Insights
While the Nintendo Switch 2 had a successful launch overall, recent reports indicated that console sales had dropped to their lowest levels in a significant period as of last November. This suggests that the perceived success may vary depending on the viewer’s perspective.
With the addition of new Joy-Con 2 colors, Nintendo aims to enhance player experience and engagement. The excitement surrounding Mario Tennis Fever is expected to further stimulate interest in the console and its accessories.
