Nintendo has just given fans a glimpse of its new Switch 2 Joy-Con color variants, which are set to hit shelves on February 12th. The first two colors to be released are light purple and light green, and they're already available for pre-order at a hefty $100 per pair, complete with matching wrist straps.
The main difference between these Joy-Cons and their previous counterparts is that the color accents are now confined to the inner rails of the controllers, which will give the overall design a rather subtle look. However, this also means that the colors won't be as prominent when connected to a Switch 2 console, with only slight hints visible around the thumbsticks.
Interestingly, Nintendo has opted for a different approach with these new Joy-Con color variants, choosing to place them on the inner rails rather than covering the entire shell like previous models. This decision may also affect their compatibility with other parts of the console, as they clash with the light blue and orange strips that run along the left and right sides of the Switch 2.
But enough about design – what's more important is the gameplay itself. Nintendo has released a lengthy game-play video for its upcoming title, Mario Tennis Fever, which promises to deliver exciting features like "fever shots," an ice racket, and thrilling moves such as slides and dives. With both the new Joy-Con color variants and Mario Tennis Fever set to arrive on February 12th, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of these highly-anticipated games.

! I mean, light purple and green? It's like they brought back those sick neon colors from the Wii U era 
. But seriously, I think it's kinda cool that they're not as flashy this time around. Reminds me of when I used to play with my old N64 controllers - you know, how they were just, well, controllers? 
The design is all about simplicity now.
I've been waiting for this game since the Switch was first announced! Fever shots and ice rackets? Sounds like a dream come true. I'm hyped to try out those new moves, kinda like how I used to get so into playing Smash Bros back in the day 
. Fingers crossed they release some more gameplay vids soon!
. And I love how Nintendo opted for a more subtle design this time around - it's all about understated cool 
. Plus, the fact that we get matching wrist straps is just the cherry on top 
!
they're always releasing these special editions just to make a quick buck... remember when you could get a sweet new joypad for like 50 bucks? now it's $100 and all the wrist straps too 
but hey, if you're into that sorta thing, go for it i guess. what really gets me is they're making these super subtle colors that are basically just an afterthought... where's the excitement in that? give us some bold, bright colors that'll make our eyes pop! 
I mean, I'm sure it's just 'cause Nintendo is made of money... but still, that's some steep change for a controller accessory. And now they're making us wait till Feb 12th to even get our hands on them? Great way to build hype and then rip our wallets dry when we finally do. On the bright side, who needs functional designs anyway? The inner rail look is kinda cool, but honestly, it's hard to tell what's going on with these new colors... might as well just stick with the previous ones, right? 
it looks so fire!!
.
But let's not get our hopes up too high just yet... we've seen that with most Nintendo games 
. but $100 per pair? 
that's a bit steep for me. i mean, who needs wrist straps on their controller? 
what's more lit tho is that we get a gameplay vid of mario tennis fever 
fever shots, ice racket... this game is gonna be SO good! 
. But let's be real, who's gonna splurge $100 on a pair of controllers that might not even show off their color in all its glory 
. Let's get this gaming party started 
anyway i'm SO hyped for Mario Tennis Fever though those fever shots sound AMAZING 
but like $100 per pair is a bit steep for me 
I mean, what's the point of pre-ordering them if you can't even get one without breaking the bank 
? and btw why are they hiding the colors on the inner rails? it sounds kinda boring 
but i do hope they're not too pricey $100 is a bit steep lol 50 bucks would've been enough idk what's going on with the design tho
