Nintendo recently announced it\u2019s releasing a Light Purple and Light Green color variant of the Joy-Con 2 Switch 2 controllers, and now it&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Preorder Joy-Con 2 Light Purple and Light Green <\/h2>\n<div catalogid=\"23cbb7a0-2d78-4ddc-921c-19737646ae32\" id=\"234333\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"234333\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Joy-Con 2 Light Purple and Light Green\u00a0\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/01\/09\/joy-con-2-light-purple-green-1767985491065.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/01\/09\/joy-con-2-light-purple-green-1767985491065.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/01\/09\/joy-con-2-light-purple-green-1767985491065.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Joy-Con 2 Light Purple and Light Green\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">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\u2019re not as flashy as the color variants of the original Switch Joy-Con. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">However, the new colors are visible under the thumb sticks, as well as on the connector part of the controllers. The included plastic bumpers for the wrist straps are also the same colors, so they\u2019ll be more visible when the Joy-Con 2s are disconnected from the console or grip.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And if you\u2019re buying an extra pair of Joy-Con 2 for multiplayer sessions, having different colors for each player makes it easier to tell your controller from everyone else\u2019s. For me, if I were in the market for an extra set of Joy-Con 2, I\u2019d definitely get these instead of a second set of red and blue ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div catalogid=\"c49cc388-129c-45cb-84e8-738834eaacdc\" id=\"228077\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"228077\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Mario Tennis Fever\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/09\/15\/81jw4zsyjll-sl1500-1757973275215.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/09\/15\/81jw4zsyjll-sl1500-1757973275215.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/09\/15\/81jw4zsyjll-sl1500-1757973275215.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Mario Tennis Fever<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>3<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I suspect it\u2019s no coincidence that Nintendo\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019ll be all set to play with friends next month.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">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&#8217;s worth of Joy-Con colors, to say nothing of the special edition Joy-Con releases.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Chris Reed is a commerce editor and deals expert for IGN.
