Nintendo has revealed a collection of four new Joy-Cons that will be available for the Switch on June 30, letting players add pastel pink, yellow, purple, and green to their gamepad collections.
“Start off your summer in style with this new line of pastel Joy-Con controllers,” reads the Joy-Cons’ Nintendo Store page. “Whether you’re on vacation or at a family barbecue, you’ll be looking cool with these colorful controllers.”
These Joy-Cons appear to be the first in a while that haven’t been a special limited edition variety and come in at the standard $79.99 price point.

The controllers are currently available in two distinct pairs, with one featuring the pastel pink and pastel yellow Joy-Cons and the other containing the pastel purple and pastel green variants. Both packs come with the standard black Joy-Con straps.
Though perhaps most reminiscent of the limited edition Animal Crossing Joy-Cons, the new colours are completely brand new and have never been released before.
June 30 will also see the surprise release of Everybody 1-2 Switch, a follow-up to the Nintendo Switch launch title. Nintendo revealed the sequel seemingly out of nowhere, promising that it will be just as wacky as the original and feature everything from balloons and aliens.
