Similar to other Joy-Cons, they will have a suggested retail price of $80 in the US and will only be sold as a pair, with options of Pink/Yellow or Purple/Green. GameStop is currently accepting preorders for these new Joy-Cons. Alongside this release, Nintendo also made another announcement related to the controllers, unveiling Everybody 1-2 Switch!, a collection of mini-games designed to be played with Joy-Con controllers, smartphones, and tablets.

While additional Joy-Cons are always a welcome addition, the unique appeal of these new controllers lies in their visually soothing and calming effect. The pastel colors offer a more relaxed and subtle aesthetic for players. However, if you prefer a controller with a more distinct yet elegant design, you might be interested in the special-edition Nintendo Switch bundle that was launched in conjunction with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
This special bundle includes a Switch OLED model, a docking station featuring Hylian glyphs, and Joy-Cons that resemble artifacts from the game’s sacred shrines. It provides a comprehensive package for fans of The Legend of Zelda series and offers a visually striking and immersive experience.
Whether you opt for the tranquil pastel Joy-Cons or the captivating special-edition bundle, these new offerings from Nintendo provide gamers with the opportunity to enhance their gaming experiences both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
