Is this the shortest NL article ever?
Neat neat neat
YOOO! That green looks smooth!
Guess they do say a picture is worth more than a thousand words
@Markiemania95
As short as the life expectancy of the Joy-Cons.
Oh yes I did!
Hmm..
Pastel colors.
But will they drifting away with Super Eurobeat songs ? 😆
That's it? That's the entire article?
Not appealing colors to me personally 🤷♂️
shoulda dropped these around Easter
I want those purple ones. MMM.
I love these colors! I'm hoping for a US release
Looks like they could’ve been an Easter release instead.
Maybe they will have hall sensors
I love my Mario Red but
Would not mind the Blue, Green, Yellow, White
And now this Lavender color
Honestly, Nintendo comes out with nice colors
Shame they are not more reliable and that consoles are not sold with your choice of colors
These... Actually look kind of nice.
All kiddie colors IMO (like most of released already). Thankfully my OLED model was available with white Joycons.
And guess maybe a good thing more variants being produced. Could be either Nintendo doesn’t plan to release Switch successor still for a while (just got my first 7 months ago — so admittedly selfish reason), or maybe compatible going forward to next generation.
Hmm, is that it?… your article seems short….
Can you think of something more to say?
I love pastel colours and could go for some new Joy-Con, hope for a Western release!
They need to make a lavender colored switch lite.
I don't need any more joycons but... pretty!
@Liam_Doolan It may not count as an actual, proper announcement, but the official, verified nintendoinspired Instagram, run by Nintendo of America afaik, has uploaded both a post and a story about them, stating that they’re set to release on the 30th of June, the same day as Japan.
I have 6 joycons (We can play Just Dance in 6 players). Need more one pair of joycons to complete the party here. Preparing to play Everybody 1+2 Switch here!!!
I have zero need for these at all as I've got two sets of limited edition Zelda joycons now, but zomg so purdy! 😍😍😍
Damn, I want the baby pink one.
I have a dumb question. Have that still not fixed the drift yet? Are they selling the same broken hardware in a different color?
Love me some pastels
@Markiemania95 Yeah, NoA's socials were playing catch up. The post has been updated with all the US information now.
I freaking love pastel colors! Might get these someday
I like these but I'm disappointed we haven't gotten more themed Joy-cons.
So pretty but WHY do they never let us have matching colours PLEASE
@Potato-man Let us worship the joy-cons potato man. Wrong order, let the us and the joycons worship the potato man.
Cool but the real question is do they still have stick drift?
I wish they were matching 😕
I don’t NEED more joycons but the green and purple are soothing to my eye.
@alienfossils They do mine are all gray (except for Zelda).
I already have 12 pairs of joy cons and I only use 2 pairs split while playing on the TV laying in bed and the others are on display on my shelf. These are nice so I'll have to get both pairs.
Nintendo is always taking my money 😏
I really like the purple/green combo. Maybe I'll trade in my neon yellow pair that I have for credit towards it. Strong maybe, though.
Nintendo, just please give me a set of those pastel pink joycons! Or pink and purple. I really hate the idea of having to purchase two sets of joycons (one from another country) to have both matching. =( Too dang expensive.
@alienfossils I get why they do two different colors. When I got my original Switch I almost went with the gray, but went with the red and blue instead and I've actually liked the duel colors... It flows.
With that said, I'm not disagreeing with you here. At this point, I think I'd like them to release each color in individually, but with each package just having one of the two Joycons and every color being available in both sides and then you can mix and match.
That's probably some kind of thing that is bad for business or something, but boy would it be great for us to have the options. It would still allow, perhaps even encourage mixed colors, but give you the options to mix and match as you like, and allow for just one color if you wish.
Well, it's still Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the colors still fit.
Oh, actually tempting.
@Zach777 What else do you want them to say?
I'm generally not into two different colours but the green and purple pair is actually nice. I'll probably pick some up to set aside as my next pair for when I need them.
I like those colours, especially the purple and green. Kinda resembles blueberry and pear ice cream
@Deepdoop He is making a cheeky reference to what the site tells you when there aren’t enough words in your comment. Truth be told the article IS fairly short, but it’s straight to the point. Although when other people say an article is short it’s fine but when I say it my comment gets removed.
@Deepdoop
If you try and make a short post, their site will auto give you a message saying something similar.
I’m just messing with the author because it is a short article.
All in fun. Nothing personal.
@WeLiveInASociety You are a master ninja, sir.
They could have released these at Easter
@Zach777 I will admit I do have some ninja-like qualities. People question how I’m able to sneak up on them without making a sound.
These look dynamite! The lavender one is king, followed by light green. As sweet as these are, I’ll stick with the Eevee Brown and Neon Orange combo I bought at GameStop last year. Don’t you just love finding limited-edition stuff in the pre-owned section?
Awww. They look really sweet. I like.
@Zach777 oh I had no idea lol
Dear Nintendo (I know you(r) ninjas read everything on the internet), please let us mix & match these (and every other) beautiful Joy-cons when buying a new console...do that and you can add at least a whole quantity of one Switch Oled to your total numbers .
Hell, I will even quit my job and come work for you, so I can be the one to pair everyone's mix & match wishes with their newly bought console.
Pastel drift?
Sounds like an easy listening band
I really dislike those colours but it's great to have more variety
These are gorgeous <3 My second pair are still going good though, so I don't need new ones.
They look nice but I already have enough drifters, I'm not going to get any more.
Unless they release Yoshi themed ones, then I won't be able to contain myself.
I want all of these. But I already have like 8-9 pairs with Joy-Cons, so I will probably pass... for now.
Gotta get me that pink/yellow combo, reminds me of kirby on a star 💖
Looks like SwitchBuddy is getting new themes soon
I’m happy they are finally getting more joy con colours been hoping so yeah’s!! 🤭
They are so beautiful I like the purple and the green one more.
Just in time for Pride Month as well, fancy that 😊
These look really nice! Surprised it took them just over 6 years to cop onto the idea of pastel Joy-Cons but better late than never I suppose, definitely interested in grabbing at least one of these at some point!
Theyre charging $80 for 6 year old controllers? Yikes, at least the colours look great
Such a shame the Purple and Pink are both for the same side, the Mrs would have loved a set with those 2 colours.
@acNewUpdates Its Nintendo, they charge full price for everything regardless of age -Launch title Switch games and Wii-U ports are still full priced after all.
Why can’t we buy 2 of the same colour I want the green pastel.
Both look pretty good, if they ever come to Europe I'll definitely consider getting them in case I need more Joy-Cons!
These pastel joy cons make me want to throw up 🤮
I already have 6 of the things - but I really love these colors.
The purple and green is a good combo.
Too bad all Joy-Cons end up defective after a few years
Nice colours, but I would prefer a Pro Controller in something other than black. XBox and PS4/5 both get multiple colour options without having to go third party. Nintendo thinks people like joycons more than they really do. Either that or they think having multiple colour options softens the blow of having to replace joycons that have developed drift.
Awesome colors though I don't need any more sets of Joy-Cons in my household at the moment. My kids primarily play on their own handhelds, and I already have 3 sets of Joy-Cons.
Big Atari XEGS energy here ⌨️
Got too many Pro, Joy-Cons now if I had six arms that would be something to try..... lmao.....
Spring pastel colors just in time for Summer!
These are awesome. Too bad I despise the joy cons and refuse to play anything unless it’s with a pro controller or Hori split pad.
Really should be making joycon out of aluminium. And charge us say £125 for set of 2 in these pastel colours, then I'd buy and holster them on my oled switch. The game everybody 1-2, nah I'd rather buy smurfs turbo edition kart game and put the pastel pink joycon in my racing wheel and play with clockwork smurf. Sorry
Just pre ordered the pastel Purple and Green ones, will probably order the other set closer to release. Me and my partner like to collect the colours so these will be the 8th/9th set we have, don't judge lol.
@SBandy1 had mine for 2 years, works perfectly fine, maybe try being more carefull with your stuff???
@Zach777 o dear god what else is there to say about this??? this site is full of karens XD
Too much drift pain to ever buy another JoyCon.
Newly released controllers are insulting, nowadays — Nintendo is basically saying, "Last one worn out on you quickly? Buy a brand new one!"
I really hope the next-gen Nintendo hardware finally addresses this issue.
@LordBakemono
Might want to look just a little bit harder there. Karen
@LordBakemono
It's simply a joke mate about the well known drift issues.
Lighten up.
More colours are always welcome. My sister in law is gonna love these for Xmas ^^
Awe… these are so cute. I’d totally pickup all of them if I had some guarantee that a Switch 2 were real and they’d be future proof.
I still wish they put out more symmetrical color schemes. I never cared for each Joy-Con being a different color.
Nintendo seriously needs hall effect control sticks at this point. No excuse
Reeerrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!
I do not need more Joy-Con...
I DO NOT need more Joy-Con...
But these are pretty as hell and I must have them.
I wish they could start releasing more in pairs; I don't want different colors.... That pastel green would be perfect on both the left and right of my screen
Pastel colors remind me of easter.
Do they come with the drift feature?
@Zach777 exactly what a karen would say XD
@LordBakemono
Only one here acting like a Karen is you son.
Being humourless and annoying others is peak Karen behaviour. The fact you can't see you are the real Karen is quite amusing I have to say.
Now jog on.
@SBandy1
Precisely
I have quite a lot of joycon because after buying replacements for drifting and broken joycon, I found a guy who fixes broken joycon.
@Harmonie yeah i get that, im not opposed to the mismatched colours entirely but when its the ONLY option... and yeah the fact that they're only available for one side, I showed these to my sister and she loved the pink, hated the yellow and wished it could be paired with the purple. But it can't as they're both left only, and as I'm one of the few lucky ones who has experienced zero joycon drift I'm not likely to buy a new set unless the colours are perfect
Well crap, now I wish I hadn't gotten my original JoyCons repaired because I don't REALLY need more, but these are beautiful. Though I do wish they had done purple-pink (BEST) or yellow-green (ALSO GOOD) instead.
