Topic: Blue Joy-Con Discontinued?

[I live in North America] I tried to buy a set of blue Joy-Con the other day at both GameStop and Walmart but both stores told me that it is discontinued. Does anyone know if that's true? The product is still advertised on Nintendo's website. Is it only available during the holiday season or something? It's really surprising to think that blue (the most popular color) would be the only one to be discontinued. Is it discontinued in other regions as well? Any info you all might have on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t think that we’ve ever had the blue Joy-con set in the UK.

I also live in the UK and wasn't aware of a purely blue Joy-Con set so I guess it was only released in North America. After looking it up, although it's listed on NoA's website, if you follow the links to retailers' websites they say it's been discontinued. I've no idea why they'd have discontinued it though.

Wow, I'm really surprised it was never released in the UK. I thought if anything it would be available in other regions and not here, not the other way around. I hope they release another batch soon (maybe around the holiday season). I would have bought a set of blue ones at launch if I knew it was limited edition.

@Kyogre101 Interesting. I guess that makes Japan the only region that has it now.

@ALinkttPresent If we have ever it, I can't find it either. If there was a blue set you could buy, it must have been online only, cause I never saw it in store shelves here. At least not in my area.

@ALinkttPresent It seems that the red Joy-Con pair has also been discontinued. Doesn’t exactly seem like a coincidence, especially since those two are usually mixed together.

@Heavyarms55 I have no idea what region you are referring to. I saw them on every shelf here close to launch. The GameStop I went to even still had an empty box for it on the shelf, as they had not been informed that it was discontinued (but they could tell it was once they checked their computer system)

@GyroZeppeli GameStop's website still says it has the Red Joy-Con, but the other retailers don't

@ALinkttPresent Japan. Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned which comment I was replying to. You said you guess that Japan is the only region that has them now. But if we ever had them in Japan, it was in very limited numbers, or online orders only.

@ALinkttPresent Strange, as I just checked and they only have preowned individual red Joy-Cons and the straps. This is the same for the blue Joy-Cons.

@GyroZeppeli No idea what you're referring to. In the US, GameStop's website says that the Red Joy-Con set is still available to purchase new. Just checked again.

@ALinkttPresent Clicking the GameStop link for the red Joy-Con pair brings me to a nonexistent page. I’m in the United States, as well, so I really have no idea why this is happening.
