Two new Switch 2 Joy-Con color variants will launch next month.

It seemed inevitable given how many alternate versions of the original Switch’s Joy-Cons Nintendo released over the years, but starting on February 12th, 2026, light green (right) and light purple (left) Switch 2 Joy-Cons will be available. Like the standard Switch 2 Joy-Con two-pack, the new colors will be $99.99.

Update, January 8th: Added official pricing.

There’s nothing at CES I want to try more than the Fly Wing X-Wing Fighter.

Ace Combat in real life? This folding VTOL foam aircraft gives you a first-person view from inside a tiny toy fighter jet cockpit. A head-tracking DJI drone camera beams video to DJI goggles over DJI’s long-range O4 wireless tech; Fly Wing claims 60-minute battery life and nearly 75mph top speed. $2,000, tentatively in March, for the complete kit.
