Nintendo has announced new Joy-Con colors for the Switch 2, timed with the release of Mario Tennis Fever. Fans will soon be able to pre-order the controllers online.
The new colors, called “Light Purple” and “Light Green,” launch on February 12, the same day Mario Tennis Fever hits stores. Each controller features a dark gray main shell with colored accents on the joystick and connection points. This design follows the style of the original launch controllers.
Until now, the only Joy-Con 2 options were the standard red and blue set included with the console. Nintendo’s original Switch offered more variety, including Neon Red/Blue and gray models. The lack of options on the Switch 2 made it harder to distinguish multiple consoles during local multiplayer. The new colors give players a chance to personalize their devices.
The controllers are priced at $99.99, matching the standard cost for Joy-Con 2 units. Despite the higher price, Nintendo fans are enthusiastic about customizing their consoles. Pre-orders are already live on Nintendo’s official website.
The release of these new controllers alongside Mario Tennis Fever is expected to boost excitement among Switch 2 owners. Fans of the Mario franchise are particularly eager to try the game with the updated Joy-Con designs.
Market reports indicate that Switch 2 sales have been lower than expected. A November report highlighted that the console recorded Nintendo’s lowest sales volume in recent years. Still, Nintendo continues to promote its devices through game launches like Mario Tennis Fever and accessory updates.
The combination of new Joy-Con colors and popular game releases aims to maintain interest in the Switch 2. With Mario Tennis Fever generating buzz, Nintendo hopes to attract both existing fans and new players to its platform.
These updates reflect Nintendo’s ongoing strategy to keep the Switch 2 relevant in a competitive gaming market. Fans are advised to pre-order the new Joy-Con soon to ensure availability.
