Nintendo is subtly encouraging fans to open their purses once again with the debut of fresh Joy-Con shades. While these vibrant controllers offer a simple way to customise the Switch's look, they also highlight a clever strategy to boost hardware sales late in the console's life. It appears the gaming giant is mastering the art of tempting loyal players solely through aesthetic upgrades.
Nintendo has shared the first alternative designs for the Switch 2 Joy-Cons, featuring a pair of pastel shades that focus on a more muted, chill aesthetic. These official additions to the line-up are called Light Purple and Light Green. The fresh controllers are set to hit shelves on 12 February, arriving at the same time as the debut of Mario Tennis Fever.
