"Nintendo has revealed the first variant Joy-Con controllers for the Switch 2 and they're not as colorful as some might have hoped. Still mostly all graphite black, the new Joy-Con sport subtle lines of lily purple and mint green and arrive next month for $100. The new options ship on February 12, the same day as Mario Tennis Fever, though they don't seem to have any obvious thematic overlap with the Switch 2 sports game or its colors."
"Is it a big surprise that Nintendo is, at least for now, sticking with the more sophisticated, less whimsical sensibility of the existing Switch 2 Joy-Con? Not entirely. But it's definitely a bit deflating for anyone who's been waiting for something cool to come along before upgrading to a second pair of controllers. You'd get as much difference out of sticking different-colored nubs on the thumbsticks (which you should do anyway because the base ones are no good)."
Nintendo revealed first color variants for the Switch 2 Joy-Con that remain largely graphite with only subtle light purple and mint green accents. The colored elements are confined to the thumbstick insets and the rail sides, leaving most of the controller and handheld view unchanged. The controllers cost $100 and ship February 12, the same day as Mario Tennis Fever, with pre-orders available. The muted palette contrasts with the bright, full-color Joy-Con released during the first Switch's launch year alongside games like Arms and Splatoon 2. Enthusiasts expecting bold, fully colored variants may be disappointed, though more options could appear later.
