FromAnimal Crossingbundles toDiablo 3, theNintendo Switchhas already seen plenty of special edition console styles. But if you want a different color for your Joy-Cons, you’ve been limited to buying separate pairs of the controllers.
New Nintendo Switch owners in Japan have been given a new option, however. Nintendo is letting people choose made-to-order Switch bundles with Joy-Cons in colors of your choosing.
Not only that, but Nintendo is also letting you pair the Joy-Cons with straps in a number of colors.
Color options
New buyers will get 10 color options for the Joy-Cons and seven for the straps, as well as being offered options to have a microSD card, pre-loaded games and Pro controllers packed up as part of the offer. Everything you need, right out of the box basically.
