Nintendo continues to shape the future of gaming hardware with the recent announcement of new alternative color Joy-Con controllers for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Since its debut in 2017, the Switch family has been celebrated for its vibrant hardware designs, but the fresh approach to colorways for Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers has sparked conversations among fans seeking a more unified aesthetic.
Unlike previous iterations that showcased bold, solid colors, the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers adopt a subtler look.
Small, colorful accents highlight the area around the analogue sticks, while the rest of the controller remains mostly neutral.
This design choice, while refined and cohesive, has left some fans longing for the solid color Joy-Con style reminiscent of the original Nintendo Switch. Enter Dbrand, the respected accessory manufacturer known for high-quality device skins and customization products.
Dbrand has announced its 'ColorMatched' skin collection—specifically crafted for the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers.
These new skins will envelop the entire Joy-Con in a single, dynamic hue, effectively restoring the solid-color look for enthusiasts who prefer a more vibrant handheld console. In an official statement, a spokesperson for Dbrand expressed enthusiasm for the release, noting that the 'ColorMatched' skins allow users to "expand color customization beyond the factory accents, providing an opportunity to recapture the iconic look of previous Switch models." The attention to detail and precision fit of Dbrand skins have earned the brand praise, even among those less fond of its marketing style.
For those interested in matching their controllers to their personal style, these skins retail at $19.95 directly from Dbrand's website. Meanwhile, Nintendo has confirmed that the highly anticipated 'Light Purple / Light Green' Joy-Con set will launch on February 12, 2026.
Priced at $99.99 USD and £74.99 GBP, these controllers will be available both at retail and through the Nintendo eShop, offering fans another official option for refreshing their Switch 2’s appearance. As anticipation builds for the Nintendo Switch 2's broader release, accessory innovation like Dbrand's 'ColorMatched' skins enhances the customization ecosystem and ensures that gamers continue to have fresh ways to personalize their hardware.
With consistent sales milestones and innovative design strategies, Nintendo shows its commitment to player expression across every generation of its beloved console line.
