Nintendo has revealed the first color variants for the Switch 2 Joy-Cons in light purple and light green, which are expected to arrive on February 12 alongside Mario Tennis fever. The new controllers are now on pre-order for $100 and include matching bracelets.
Besides the colorway, these are standard Joy-Con 2 controllers with motion controls and HD rumble, as well as the C button for GameChat and mouse controls for compatible games. However, you may have noticed something weird about them: the colors are on the inner rails, so you’ll barely be able to see them when the Joy-Con 2s are connected to a Switch 2 console, except around the controllers. On the other hand, the previous Joycon color variations covered the entire shell. The new Switch 2 Joy-Con colors also clash with the light blue and orange stripes on the interior left and right of the console.
Alongside the new Joy-Con 2 controllers, Nintendo released an extended gameplay video for Mario Tennis Fever, also scheduled for February 12. It details some of the key gameplay features, like “fever shots”, the ice racket, and moves like slides and dives.
