Nintendo Announces New Pastel Joy-Con 2 Colors for Switch 2 Launching February 2026
Nintendo continues to expand its hardware customization options with the announcement of two new pastel Joy-Con 2 controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Revealed on the Nintendo Today! app, these fresh Light Purple and Light Green hues offer Switch 2 owners an opportunity to personalize their gaming setups with softer, stylish colors that contrast nicely with the console’s default black finish. The official unveiling marks the first new set of Joy-Con 2 color variants since the Nintendo Switch 2's launch.
Set to release on February 12, 2026, these controllers are expected to further enhance the system’s appeal among both collectors and gamers who value unique accessories.
The addition of Light Purple and Light Green joins Nintendo’s history of offering innovative and eye-catching controller options, following the success of iconic blue and red combinations with previous models.
According to Nintendo, the introduction of these new colors was designed to provide users with an alternative to the standard palette for the second-generation Switch hardware.
Company representatives emphasized that the "new pastel Joy-Con 2 controllers offer fans a fresh way to personalize their gaming experience, providing both comfort and style." At the time of the announcement, Nintendo has not confirmed the price for the Light Purple and Light Green Joy-Con 2 units.
However, based on the pricing of existing Joy-Con 2 controllers, it's reasonable to expect that the new pastel models will fall within the same range as current offerings.
Further details on pricing and retailer availability are anticipated closer to the February 2026 release. The Nintendo Switch 2, building on the blockbuster success of its predecessor, continues to set the standard for modular gaming hardware.
Since launching, the Switch 2 has received praise for its improved ergonomics and expanded customization options.
The expansion of Joy-Con 2 colorways reflects Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to both functional innovation and user expression in hardware design. These newly revealed Joy-Con 2 controllers will be available through the Nintendo eShop and official retailers beginning February 12, 2026, giving fans plenty of time to anticipate their arrival.
As Nintendo maintains its focus on delighting gamers with new choices, it’s clear that the company remains attuned to community preferences and the growing demand for personalization within the Switch 2 ecosystem.
