Summary
Controllers have come a long way over the course of video game history and while they are by no means perfect, the current crop of console controllers is pretty remarkable. That comes at a price though, and while one or two controllers will have been included with your console, there will be times when you need to pay that price to buy new ones. You’d be hard-pushed to find first-party controllers for any current-gen consoles for anything less than $80, hence why some ofNintendo’s better-looking Joy-Con being on sale is something that should be taken advantage of.
Nintendo has released Joy-Con for theSwitchin various colors during the console’s seven-year run, allowing its 100 million-plus owners to give their Switches a makeover from time to time. One of the better color combos available is a Joy-Con pairing that combines pastel pink and pastel yellow, both of which are very easy on the eye. Usually $79.99, which is the standard for any pair of Joy-Con, Amazon currently has the popular color pairing on sale for $65.95.
That’s almost 20 percent off, and while the Joy-Con are still reduced and in stock through the link in the box below at the time of typing this, there’s no way of knowing how long that will be the case. Especially since this is a price-in-cart situation which tends to mean the deal is a short-term one. When you land on the page, neither the regular price nor its sale one will appear. You’ll need to add the Joy-Con to your cart and after doing so, double-check that they are still on sale before you pay for them.
If You’ve Stuck With Neon Joy-Con Since Launch, It’s Time For A Makeover
Nintendo Switch Pastel Joy-Con
Nintendo’s pastel Joy-Con come in a range of color combinations. The only combo on sale at Amazon right now is the pink and yellow set, but that’s the best combination in the range anyway so lucky you.
This might be your best chance to own one of Nintendo’s pastel pink Joy-Con. The color wasreleased as a matching pair to celebrate the launch of Princess Peach: Showtime, selling out fast and hard to find ever since. Before you follow through with the bright idea of picking up two pairs of the reduced Joy-Con so you have two pink ones, the pink one is always the left Joy-Con in the set and the right one is always pastel yellow.
The countdown is now on until we find out whether Joy-Con will play a role in whatever Nintendo has coming next. Nintendo has nowconfirmed there’s a new console on the way, and that it will reveal something more concrete about it before the end of the current financial year. Rumor has itthe new console’s controllers will use some sort of magnetic connectionas opposed to the Switch’s slide-and-click method. If accurate, like most other jumps between Nintendo consoles, our controllers won’t be coming with us.
