This morning, in addition to a new Switch with longer battery life, Nintendo announced some fresh new Joy-Cons. As a plebeian stuck with drab grey controllers, these neon wonder-cons have literally brightened by day.
The new Joy-Cons will come in two colours: the some what less impressive Blue/Neon Yellow combo and the actually super great Neon Purple/Neon Orange mashup. As someone perpetually jealous of my co-workers various colourful Joy-Cons and cool transparent custom controllers, those that purple and orange combination is looking pretty fantastic.
The Joy-Cons will retail on November 14th for the somewhat dubious price of $US79.99 (Australian pricing had not been announced at the time of writing). Hopefully in the time between then and now, Nintendo can solve the dreaded “Joy-Con Drift” issue. Because what good is some dope controllers if Octopath Traveller’s Ophelia keeps running to the left randomly?
