Neon Green Joy-Con Set Revealed On Best Buy Website, Pre-Orders Now Available

Bundle them with Luigi's Mansion 3.

I wish Nintendo would include matching straps as standard.

There are green and pink ones available in Japan, but there haven't been any other colours released since, and it's quite scummy to have to pay up to AU$15 each for a matching strap (not to mention being needlessly wasteful).

Just in time for Luigis Mansion 3, might have to invest in some

That's nice, now how 'bout a set with matching blue Joy Con? The gorgeous new blue coming out, not the neon one.

I know they upgraded the joy-cons lately to fix some problems, but are they still drift?

Luigi green would have been nice, but this is okay.

i hope they release colors that are a little bit darker later down the line

Ohhhh. Too bad I already have them 😂😂.

Mabey I'll double up and have a pair to use while the other pair will stay looking pretty haha.

Wish they had green and purple together lol
I never use my joy con and I'm waiting For Metroid themed ones 😍

@ZeldaToThePast It's Gooigi green!

If ever I need a 4th set of joy cons (unlikely unless they break or go missing) then these do look rather cool.

@RickD Spawn wave (a YouTuber) opened up the joycons that came with the new switch and saw they made some changes (like moving the antenna to fix the connectivity issue) but he said that he can’t see any difference about the the pad that is drifting
It doesn’t mean they didn’t fix it, but nothing visible

@Tantani
Did he open up the joystick ? The problem is inside...

I really hope nintendo makes the needed fixes ... even silently, « comme d’habitude » à la nintendo

According to the Nintendo Technical Team in Athens joy-con controllers with new joysticks that don't drift have started to be in circulation since last September (2018).

@Cosats then why did the lawsuit happen and why did Nintendo only promise to fix the problem a few weeks ago after the lawsuit?

If they were already fixed “since 2018”, they wouldn’t have promised to fix something that was fixed and the lawsuit would have been thrown out?

Nintendo needs to stop being so secretive, allow for us to get our broken joy-cons fixed for free and let everyone know the new joy-cons are now non-drift versions.

I love Nintendo but this is not good business practice.

I must be the only person happy to stick with the boring standard grey ones. All the options are far too bright for me. Subtle they ain't!

Green is such a garbage color. No thanks.

Looks great. Hope we get them here

Awesome but I already have this. Bought the Splatoon set from US & imported another set from Japan to make this combo myself. Glad to see it will be easier to get, in case I ever need to replace them. I’m guessing this is coming in Oct to coincide with Luigi’s Mansion release?

@Lordplops Great idea! Super Mario got a great bundle with Joycons. Would love to see something like this for Luigi's Mansion so you can play 2 player. Wait...does the game have 2 player? lol

Also...I hope these are the new Joycon versions I'm hearing about. The revised Switch released this month has an updated version of the Joycons (different serial numbers, too). The blue/yellow and orange/purple combos coming out in October are supposedly the updated version.

@SenseiDje Yes he did, and it is a new model, however the part he thinks is defective is still the same, so it depends if he's right

Also, kinda of topic, but while I'm talking about the revision, did anyone know it has a better screen? Kevin kenson tested it, and it is brighter and more color accurate.

Ugh, now they release these together. I had to buy the American green and pink set and import a Japanese pair to get green JoyCons for both sides.

I want Atomic Purple or Orange!

slams fist on table

I hate how every colour is neon. Give us some non-neon options.

They finally release another symmetrical set and of course it's a set where I already have one half... Can I just buy the right one?

I’m holding off until they release some transparent ones.

Price is hilarious considering how deeply flawed and easily broken these things are.

@SenseiDje I saw Spawnwaves video about the newer joy-con as well, he did open up the joystick and had a side by side comparison of them and the contacts inside which cause the problem are the same still, all they had done really is move the location of the antenna.

Green being my favourite color this is kind of tempting... but I think I'll hold off. I've already got too many Joy-con as it is (2 pairs of red and blue (each pair in reversed colors) and the Splatoon green and pink ones). Collecting controllers is fun but these things are way too expensive for me to buy that many of.

@MasterJay @8bitSquid , too bad !
Why on earth they didn’t change this stick ?!
Beyond my comprehésion

Pleeeease just give us the matching Green Left and Pink Right so I don’t have to import them! 😂

I have a left green joy-con from the Super Mario Party bundle (no drift so far - 7 months of use).

@SenseiDje They did change it, as it is a different model, so it's possible the part spawn wave believes is the problem isn't, (as his reasoning was kinda stupid) and that Nintendo changed some other defective part

Let's hope for a luigis collectors edition bundle

I've wanted this for awhile.

I dont get why Nintendo isn't doing more with joy con colors.

@MasterJay I am pretty sure I have seen a few videos saying the problem is that the contact pads in the stick are carbon and with use, they can break up and the dust is what creates the drift, I maybe wrong, but if not Spawns reasoning isn't stupid. It's a different model number because the board is different be it all that is different if the placement of the antenna which means there is a different model number as changes have been made. BUT I could be completely wrong I am getting old lol

Uh-oh... I’m going to want these. Ever since I was a kid and had my neon yellow Dyno Nitro bike it’s been my favorite color. (Neon yellow/green/lime) to be specific.

I already have the neon yellow pair with my gray’s being the back-up. Looks like I’m gonna have 3 sets now...probably. 👌

Are they better than the other colors?

I have one already due to also wanting a full set of the pinks, so I went with the import method. Both sets are great. I think I’m up to six complete sets of joy-cons and might have a problem, lol.

Bundle them up with a Luigi’s Mansion 3 bundle, and you got a solid Best Buy exclusive.

These are cool but I think I’m still leaning towards the purple/orange set. Now that I’m having some serious issues with my right stock joycon I may be willing to justify a new set. Anybody else have issues with R and X button not working at all? If so is it fixable yourself? I know sending it in is going to run about $40

if only joycons were cheaper...

@justin233 Same here. I just want them to be bundled with a Switch so I can get my wife a one and also get 2 new different colored joycon on the process.

How good is the drifting on these?

@RickD It doesn’t drift YET, but it will in the future as long as you keep playing.

@RickD sweet, I’ll leave a letter to my grandson buy some for me.

Give me that amazing blue color as a set and I'm sold. Hopefully it will be silently upgraded with regards to the drift issue...

I want a neon blue pair. I just ordered a left blue joy-con and plan to get the right one later.

Maybe I'll get these at some point, but first I want my blue. If they had Luigi green to go with Mario red I'd be all over that.

I'm sticking to 3rd party Horis until I'm assured they've sorted the drift once and for all. Not throwing another 80 quid away. Look nice though

I got these the hard (expensive) way a year ago😋
But I love having a neon green Switch. It looks great.

If these were Luigi Green I would 100% buy these to go with my Mario Red ones. Not a fan of the neon though

the reason why the joycons are expensive isnt the joystick issue its that the tech in it plus the batteries that last over 20 hours and easily recharge by sliding the joycons back onto the switch itself.

By this point I would just wait for a possible joycon revision.

@Kienda I don't know, maybe the Nintendo guys in Athens are lying. Whatever the case, it is obvious now that Nintendo should not ask for money to repair something that was a technical oversight of theirs.

@Lordplops Nintendo doesen't know how to price bundles.

Bundles is always more expensive than buying game and hardware separately. So basically Nintendo punishes you for buying bundles.
Smash Bros Bundle costed 400 bucks, while Switch with no game costs 290 bucks, and add 50 bucks for the game.
This means you need to pay 60 bucks extra for nothing extra.

@Lordplops GENIUS

@Ventilator To be fair, you got a special edition switch, dock, and joy cons. I agree that the joy cons where pretty boring and lackluster, the dock was REALLY cool in my opinion.

@Ventilator You seem to be about $10 short on your estimates

@Lordplops throw in the steelbook too, best buy loves doing those steelbooks

@cgpwns Depends on where. Try Scandinavia.

@MrFunny Yes, but that docking stickers is very overpriced.

@Cosats I agree. With so many complaints this is more than a user issue and is on Nintendo to fix.

By the way, my original comment was not meant as an attack on you or questioning the legitimacy of what you are saying, but was meant to criticise the mixed messages given by Nintendo and their handling of this.

I pre-ordered these so I can have them for Luigi's Mansion! .... And sad that I missed the Mario Party bundle with green and yellow joycons

Lol after I bought the jpn splatoon set and Mario party to make my greens... ah well may pick up a second set.

Neon orange, please!

@Lordplops It would be cool with green glow in the dark joy-cons with Luigi's mansion 3.

I would of preferred a Luigi green set instead. Glow in the dark would be even better.

@Ryu_Niiyama I imported the US Splatoon Neon controllers so that I could get both versions of pink and green.

@Sandro89
But Neon Green looked very nice here. 😉

nice try DRIFT

Why do the prices of Joy-Cons keep going up. Seriously $80 for green Joy-Cons. The fact that they are just now correcting the drifting issue puts me at no ease for this jump in price.

...maybe it's just wishful thinking on my behalf, but the BestBuy Joy-Con pair are listed as "Green" (...with description to follow) ...not listed as "Neon Green" ...all other Joy-Con are specifically listed as "Neon" (...when applicable) ...also, the "Green" Joy-Con are the only pair presented without box-art ...so it's reasonable to assume the picture shown is just a temporary place-holder ...so, kinda hoping these might turn out to be the non-Neon "Luigi Green" Joy-Con I've been wanting to match my "Mario Red" ones! (...per chance, to dream)

@CoastersPaul Ha ha, yeah I thought of that. Hopefully Luigi green does come eventually though.

...looks like the Nintendo of America site's Joy-Con Color Viewer has been updated to include (L) Blue, (L) Neon Purple, (R) Neon Orange, & (L) Neon Green to reflect the sets being released this October (...including the BestBuy exclusive (L/R) Neon Green) ...alas, still won't let you see (R) Neon Pink ...or (L/R) 'Mario' Red ...also, no Neon Pink or Neon Green wrist-straps yet
