- Nintendo has revealed a new Joy-Con 2 color variant
- They start the same day as Mario tennis feveron February 12
- You can pre-order them now on Nintendo’s website
Nintendo has announced the first official alternate colorway for its Joy-Con 2 controllers.
Compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, the new ‘Light Purple and Light Green’ Joy-Con 2 is set to be released on February 12, according to an official announcement on Nintendo of America’s X/Twitter account.
These are largely identical to the red and blue Joy-Con 2 that comes with the Switch 2. The biggest difference, of course, is the color scheme, which swaps out the red and blue for a few cooler colors. They look quite nice and can be pre-ordered now for the usual price of $99.99 / £74.99 from Nintendo’s online store.
As hinted in the tweet, the light purple and light green Joy-Con 2 controllers will launch on the same day as the upcoming Mario tennis fever. There’s even a brand new preview trailer for Camelot’s racquetball, and it honestly looks really good.
As for the Joy-Con 2, however, don’t expect any sweeping changes to the hardware. They appear to be your typical Joy-Con 2, albeit with a different color scheme. It is unlikely that this new colorway will boast anything like, for example. improved battery life or Hall effect sticks.
