UPDATE: Nintendo has just announced the release of its first alternate colorway for the highly anticipated Joy-Con 2 controllers. The new ‘Light Purple and Light Green’ variants will launch on February 12, coinciding with the much-awaited release of Mario Tennis Fever.
This exciting development was confirmed via Nintendo of America’s official account on X (formerly Twitter). Fans can pre-order the Joy-Con 2 controllers now at Nintendo’s website for the standard price of $99.99 in the U.S. and £74.99 in the U.K.
The new color scheme replaces the original red and blue with cooler tones, offering a fresh look for Nintendo Switch 2 users. However, gamers should note that these new Joy-Con 2 models are essentially identical to the initial versions in terms of hardware specifications. There are no expected enhancements like improved battery life or advanced features such as Hall effect sticks.
As anticipation builds for both the new controllers and Mario Tennis Fever, Nintendo is generating buzz with an overview trailer showcasing the game’s exciting features. This launch marks a significant moment for fans eager to enhance their gaming experience with a personalized touch.
While the color change is a welcome addition, it remains to be seen how these new Joy-Con will impact gameplay or overall user experience. Gamers looking forward to this release should act quickly to secure their pre-orders, as these limited-edition colors may be in high demand.
Keep an eye on further updates as February 12 approaches, and prepare for a colorful gaming experience with the Joy-Con 2!
