New Joy-Con Colors Announced: Dark Blue, Neon Orange, and Neon Purple. Out on October 4th.

[Marco_Tovarich]

I know Im Far from being the first one to say this, but I will never understand why Nintendo hasn't already released a series of "classic" joy cons.

• NES (both jp and overseas editions)
• SNES (both jp/eu and us editions)
• Classic Gameboy grey
• Gameboy Color (the one with the translucías she'll)
• N64
• Gamecube purple
• Wii White
• Wii U Black

 

[Ceadeus]

New drifting colours !

[demondance]

How about a dark blue two pack, thank you nimtembo

 

[AndrewDean84]

I wish they'd sell each side separately again, but in each color. I hate when I see two different colors. My mind can't accept that as ok. I know it's my own mental limitation, and all that. It just looks wrong to me. I wish I could explain it better.

My wife would chalk it up as my ADHD/OCD.

 

[ZeoVGM]

yuck, this is just gross. who OK'd this?

I love the purple and orange combo. Gives me GameCube vibes.

 

[Juraash]

I'd like to see more matched sets, but I'm probably in for the purple/orange one. I've been rocking the neon red/blue since launch and I'd like another set.

 

[Deleted member 4262]

I want two orange ones.

 

[InspectorJones]

I'd buy so many joycons if their build quality wasn't such garbage.

 

[NickatNite]

terrible color combos

 

[Falchion]

Ugh, I hate the mismatching colors.

 

[evrythngwastakn]

Holy fuck are those horrid.

Just. Make. Regular. Colours.

No matter how many times you post this, those combinations are still ugly af.

Too bad because the purple and the blue taken separately are gorgeous.

 

[Deleted member 4413]

Either give me blue/purple or both purple. Don't like the orange combo.

Could you please expand on this for me?

 

[gogojira]

No thanks, I will take a matching pair of Indigo joycons instead.

 

[maximumzero]

Now I can't decide if I want to import the green & pink Joycon set from Japan or sell off my launch joycons and buy both the red & blue and pink and green joycons here in the US. I like the idea of the "Cool" colors always being on one side and the "Warm" colors always being on the other.

Combos of blue & green and especially pink & red aren't particularly attractive, which is preventing me from just buying the US pink & green set.

Hmm, decisions decisions.

 

[Galactic Specter]

Will there ever come a joycon revision that's durable against drifting

 

[MasterYoshi]

Finally, some new colors!

 

[maximumzero]

The biggest thing holding me back from blue & yellow set is that the blue color is the lone one in the lineup (outside of the "Mario Red" color) that isn't neon. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

Okay so the new Switch revision is coming on October 4th.

It's coming next month

I think Nintendo intentionally miss matched these colors so you feel like you have to buy two sets to get something that looks good.

The Joy-Cons are here to stay. Plenty of time left to release special editions.

 

[Elven_Star]

Both sets are ugly. What were they thinking?

 

[OrangeNova]

I want dual orange, the orange looks fantastic

 

[banter]

I'd really like a dark blue and orange or green and purple but for either of those I'd need to buy two sets. They going to sell these individually?

 

[Theecliff]

they all look pretty garish... but i'm kinda into the yellow and purple pair if only because of the vague Wario and Waluigi connection

 

[Regiruler]

I have the yellows, they ugly.

 

[maximumzero]

Any word on color-matching straps for dark blue, orange, and purple?

 

[pixelpatron]

I just want official....

 

[NeonBorealis]

I actually like some of these colors, but I wish we had matching set options.

Click to shrink...

This. The combinations are nice and all, but why can't I have a full indigo set???

The purple/orange set is tempting though. I may get those since I've been using my gray ones since launch day. It may be time for aome color.

 

[Bright-Light]

I want the Purple and the Yellow, but i refuse to buy both packs.
Who wants to split a couple of packs?
I keep purple and yellow, you get blue and orange?

 

[TheRuralJuror]

That shell for sale? I have white, but man oh Man, that's lovely.

Now add a huge amount of black between the purple and the orange and observe the beauty unfolding.

Also notice the symmetry of that image.

 

[ghibli99]

I love my Switch, but I'm glad the drifting topic continues to get louder and louder. Those color combinations are awful as well. D-pad modded white shells w/ Super Famicom buttons is still my favorite of what's available.

 

[dreamfall]

I live for the Spice Orange! GameCube nostalgia incoming!

 

[Deleted member 48201]

I want matching purple ones instead of these combos.

Where did you buy those ? Do they have different colours ?

 

[meow]

I like the purple/orange

yah haters

 

[GamingRobioto]

I'd love a pair of the purple ones, I'm not a fan of having two different colours on my Switch at once.

 

[DiceHands]

I love the purple orange one but I wont be buying another pair of joycons from Nintendo directly until they confirm they fixed the hardware.

Its laughable that they completely ignore the issue and continue to push out 80 dollar controllers that are so shoddily made.

 

[abellwillring]

What we gotta do to get some clean white Joycons. Enough of this neon shit.

Click to shrink...

I am sure they'll have an SE Lite version for Animal Crossing.. maybe they'll release the white joycons with it as well. A little throwback to the beautiful 3DS XL.

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

and nary a d-pad in sight.

They mean people at Nintendo out a lot of thought and work into picking the colours, despite you not liking it.

These colours don't do anything for me, but are nice.

 

[Deleted member 28386]

Makes me think Cube's Pumpkin Spice and Indigo. God I love them...

...I can see what they were going for...but most adults don't want their tech to look this way.

 

[MP!]

orange is the worst color... I mean in general

Companies put a lot of thought, time, and energy into bad ideas all the time.
