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.
