Nintendo has revealed its first batch of color variants for the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers, and they're a bit of an enigma. The two new hues - light purple and light green - are set to arrive alongside Mario Tennis Fever on February 12th, and are now available for pre-order at $100 per controller.
Interestingly, these new controllers have a unique design feature: the colors are only visible on the inner rails, meaning that when connected to a Switch 2 console, they'll be barely visible except around the thumbsticks. This is a departure from previous Joy-Con color variants, which covered the entire shell. The light purple and green hues also clash with the existing light blue and orange strips on the console.
When it comes to features, these new Joy-Con controllers are standard - they include motion controls, HD rumble, the C Button for GameChat, and mouse controls for compatible games. But Nintendo has released a lengthy gameplay video for Mario Tennis Fever to coincide with the pre-order announcement, which gives fans a glimpse of what's in store.
The gameplay video reveals key features like "fever shots," an ice racket, and moves like slides and dives. It's clear that the game will be fast-paced and action-packed, and with these new Joy-Con controllers on the way, it'll be easier for players to experience the game in all its glory.

... Light purple and green? Are they trying to blind us or something? 
But I gotta admit, the gameplay video for Mario Tennis Fever looks like a blast! Those "fever shots" sound insane! And can we talk about how cute the new Joy-Con controllers are? The inner rails design is so unique, but at $100 per controller, it's a bit too rich for my blood 
. What do you guys think? Are these new colors gonna be all over the place or are they just a one-time thing? 
I just pre-ordered those new Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers in light purple & green like 5 mins ago lol! I was so curious about them & now that they're out, I'm DYING to get my hands on one ASAP! 
And omg Mario Tennis Fever is coming out Feb 12th!! 
Can't wait to try those "fever shots" & ice rackets! 
My fave color tho is the light green one, what about u guys?! Should I get both or just one? 
. and from what i saw of the gameplay vid, this game is gonna be SO MUCH FUN! 
.
. The fever shots and ice racket sounds like it's gonna be a real nail-biter
