Nintendo has officially revealed the first color variant additions for the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers, further enhancing options for fans eager to personalize their gaming experience.
Announced earlier today, the new Joy-Con controllers will be available in light purple and light green, marking the first time these colors have been offered for the next-generation Nintendo hardware. The Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo’s highly anticipated successor to its groundbreaking hybrid console, is slated for a robust launch with a growing accessory lineup.
The newly unveiled light purple and light green Joy-Cons are set to hit retail shelves on February 12, 2026.
These Joy-Cons will be compatible exclusively with the Nintendo Switch 2, continuing Nintendo’s tradition of offering vibrant controller options reminiscent of iconic products such as the indigo GameCube controller and previous Joy-Con color releases for the original Nintendo Switch. While Nintendo has not yet provided official pricing for the new light purple and light green Joy-Cons, the company has historically maintained consistent Joy-Con pricing across its hardware lines.
Availability will include retail locations as well as the Nintendo eShop, making them accessible to players worldwide. A spokesperson for Nintendo conveyed the company’s ongoing commitment to user customization, stating that fresh Joy-Con color options are designed to appeal to the global diversity of the Nintendo community.
The introduction of these new hues is a continuation of the brand’s approach to enabling players to express their personal style through their hardware. The Switch platform first launched in March 2017 and rapidly achieved global commercial success, surpassing 125 million lifetime unit sales as of 2024.
The Nintendo Switch 2 aims to build upon this momentum with enhanced hardware capabilities, continued support for the eShop, and an expanding array of both hardware and software offerings. Early community reactions to the announcement have ranged from excitement about new color choices to requests for further variations, such as a full indigo option inspired by classic Nintendo controllers.
Nonetheless, the arrival of new Joy-Con colors emphasizes Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to innovate and respond to its passionate fanbase. The light purple and light green Joy-Cons for Nintendo Switch 2 will be available starting February 12, 2026.
More details, including pricing, are expected to be shared soon through official Nintendo channels and future Nintendo Direct presentations.
For the latest updates on Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and hardware availability, stay tuned to the Nintendo eShop and authorized retailers.
