"Nintendo has revealed its first set of new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 and I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. To be clear, I'm not disappointed (or surprised) by the $100 price tag, as the original Switch Joy-Cons are still $90, the standard Switch 2 Joy-Cons are $100, and all gaming hardware is pretty expensive right now. No, it's not the cost that bothers me, but rather how little these new Joy-Cons differentiate themselves from the pair that already exist."
"Similar to the original Switch's Joy-Cons, it appears that the various colorways for the Switch 2 versions will feature two different colors; in the case of these newly announced Joy-Cons, those colors are a bright, pastel purple and a vibrant aqua that the company refers to as "Light Green." Despite not fully agreeing with Nintendo on what constitutes light green, I actually really like these new colors."
"However, the problem with these new Joy-Cons is that, for the most part, you won't actually see these colors. When using your Switch 2 in handheld mode or with the Joy-Con grip, the strips of color on the inner portion of the controllers are entirely hidden. So while these colors might be pretty, it's a bit disappointing that they are essentially relegated to two small rings around the thumbsticks."
Nintendo revealed a first set of Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers priced at $100, matching standard Switch 2 Joy-Con pricing while original Switch Joy-Cons remain $90. The controllers use two-tone colorways featuring a bright pastel purple and a vibrant aqua labeled "Light Green," which present a less saturated and more appealing palette than many original color options. The colored portions are largely on the inner strips of the controllers and become hidden when the Joy-Cons are attached in handheld mode or placed in the Joy-Con grip, leaving only thin rings around the thumbsticks visible. The limited visible differentiation weakens the visual impact of the new options.
