    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.

    Genki will help you get a better grip on your Switch 2.

    The accessory maker launched a new Kickstarter today for Genki Grips: a modular grip system for Nintendo’s latest console. A $99 pledge gets you get a kit with solid and split shells (that lets the Joy-Cons detach) plus multiple sets of grips with various designs you can regularly swap to improve your hold on the handheld based on the game you’re playing.

    <em>The Genki Grips improve the ergonomics of your Switch 2 in handheld mode.</em>
