Nintendo Releases Pastel Joy-Con Controllers to Address Drift Issues

  • Nintendo is releasing new pastel-colored Joy-Con controllers on June 30th for $80 each.
  • The new controllers come in pink/yellow and purple/green color combinations.
  • Joy-Con controllers are prone to joystick drift, so Nintendo released the new colors as an indirect solution to the problem.
  • The pastel Joy-Cons are functionally identical to existing Joy-Cons and work with all Switch games that use motion controls or support up to four players.
  • Customers now have six Joy-Con color pairings to choose from for their Nintendo Switch console released in 2017.
