Purple and green Joy-Con revealed for Nintendo Switch 2, coming next month

Nintendo has announced the first color variants of the Joy-Con 2 controllers for the Switch 2 system.

The launch of the Light Purple / Light Green controllers will coincide with the release of Mario Tennis Fever.

As you enjoy #MarioTennisFever, you’ll also have the opportunity to give your #NintendoSwitch2 a new look!

The first new colored Joy-Con 2 controllers—Light Purple and Light Green—also arrive Feb 12.

Releasing on February 12, the new Joy-Con 2 will retail at $99.99 / £69.99 and are available to pre-purchase on Nintendo’s online store.

Since the original Nintendo Switch saw dozens of different Joy-Con variants, it seems reasonable to expect that these new Joy-Con 2 colors will be the first of many to come.
