Here’s some good news for anyone looking to spice up the look of their Nintendo Switch 2 — at least in a subtle way. Nintendo recently announced it’s releasing a Light Purple and Light Green color variant of the Joy-Con 2 Switch 2 controllers, and now it’s available for preorder. It costs $99.99 per pair and is set to release on February 12. You can preorder now (see at Best Buy). Read on for the details.

Functionally, these Joy-Con 2 operate exactly the same as the red and blue ones that come with the Nintendo Switch 2 console. And since black is still the main color on the casing, they’re not as flashy as the color variants of the original Switch Joy-Con.

I suspect it’s no coincidence that Nintendo’s next big first-party Switch 2 game is also coming out the same day as these new Joy-Con 2 colors. Mario Tennis Fever (see our preorder guide) is also set to release February 12. It’s a single or multiplayer game that lets up to four players join in on the action at a time. Preorder the game and a new pair of Joy-Con 2, and you’ll be all set to play with friends next month.
While there are currently only two Joy-Con 2 colors on the market, I expect the list to grow in the coming years. After all, the original Switch got a whole rainbow’s worth of Joy-Con colors, to say nothing of the special edition Joy-Con releases.
