There Are Now Well Over 250 Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Combinations

I need those Labo Joy Cons but i doubt we will ever see a release.

Good counting.

Grey joycons with Zelda stickers.
I also have neon red and neon blue sets, as well as a Hori D-Pad Zelda joycon.

Gotta catch em all! Yeah!

289 problems and the drift is one.

If only they weren’t so flipping expensive! I’d love another set, but it’s hard to justify a third pair...

Right Purple Joycons? Where and How Much?

I had this idea that I needed to own every color Joy-Con. I had the blue/yellow and orange/purple sets on pre-order. And then once I got my Switch Lite, I realized I'll never again take my OG Switch on the road with me, so there's really no need for Joy-Con at all. I have a Pro Controller for home and that's all I need. See ya, completist fetish.

Grey and grey. Pink and yellow look cool.

I really like those Pikachu and Eevee joycon but they cost an arm and a leg to get. Ohh well on that one.

Still prefer my neon red and blue.

Pro Controller all the way. I did buy my Switch with the neon ones. Both developed drift after a year of careful use. Over Xmas took my switch to work and encountered joycons again from a colleagues machine. While his controllers had no drift - they felt alien, fragile and imprecise for any length of gaming. Unless there's a revised design (drift fix), can't see myself wasting another £70 again.

Does anyone know the origin of those really dark grey, almost black ones?

@Maxz I could be wrong but I think they're from the devkits and are not available to the public.

Anyway, the new AC ones are just lovely, there are a lot of colors I'd like to have but I don't really need any more Joy-Cons, so I'll stick with my Red & Blue and my Smash Pro Controller.

@Maxz I was thinking the dev kit, like clvr said, but they seem to be in order of release, wasn't there some diablo bundle at some point? Could that be it?

@clvr Thank you! It seems a little cruel including them in the image in that case, as they’re essentially out of reach.

The AC ones really are lovely, aren’t they? Even if the joy-cons have been shown to have serious shortcomings in terms of structural design, from a purely visual design standpoint they are a stroke of genius.

They tap into the same same desire for pretty colourful things Apple has been hammering away at since the iPod.

Neon green and yellow. But shipping them in for repair

Basic until I get them back

I love the joycons but it really bugs me that so many of the colors I like are only left or only right!

I know the asymmetric style is kinda a thing for Switch, but I usually prefer matching sets. Which is why I have two sets of modded joycons, one white with black buttons, one transparent teal-blue with black buttons, both with D-pad mods.

I would file this under random rather than news.

I don't need them, but I have waited decades for Nintendo to do anything in a decent shade of green. I long ago gave up on forest green, but I really like the AC ones. Two green ones would be preferable, but I could live with the blue.

Can't really justify them, but I wish I could.

@PaperLucario they come in a twin stun festival switch set

It’s Tsum Tsum*

Neon green BABY

@Maxz you're welcome! 😄
Yes exactly, they manage to make me want them purely based on looks even though I know I don't need them. I almost bought the yellow ones time ago just because they look so nice!
Also, I like it that they're introducing new variations such as a differently colored back, even though I think it might've been cooler if the buttons too were white like the back.
I'd also like to see all white JC, maybe with SNES colored buttons!

@MasterJay the Diablo Bundle had a custom dock but standard, boring, gray Joy-Cons 😃

@clvr Yep, now that you say that. Thanks for the correction!

The hori split pad pro i am refusing to get a new official set until i am convinced the drifting is sorted

I just watch left/right navy blue. We’re so close...

@PaperLucario when the new joy-con colors releases (blue/yellow & orange/purple) you were able to customize your Switch in Japan and order with matching colors on both sides.

@Varazadi the tsum tsum purple joy-cons had dots and only the left was purple. Right could only be had with the customized order.

Hope the person keeping track used a large enough data type or we're going to Y2K bug on the number of combinations.
We've already exceeded 1 byte!

Of which Peer Schneider of IGN owns every combination. Ha

I just need 289 switches. Cool

@PaperLucario : The only way to get right purple/blue or left orange Joy-Con is to order a customised Switch console directly from Nintendo in Japan (the Joy-Con are not available separately). They will most likely release them at some point (here's hoping as I love purple/orange). Unfortunately, Nintendo seem to have all but given up on producing coloured straps except for the odd console bundle (such as Let's Go, and now Animal Crossing). What's annoying is that they should be included with Joy-Con pairs by default rather than charging an additional $15 for just ONE coloured strap.

I never understood the point of the Blue/Yellow combo though (considering that a yellow pair is available), though I was impulsive (cough stupid) enough to buy it.

I would gladly give up the color variety for a single pair that doesn't develop a drift after a couple of months.

@Silly_G: Can you directly order just a custom color set of Joycons, or do you need to purchase an entire Switch?

They make Right purples?

Still bummed we dont have official Atomic Purple or Black joy cons. What's stopping Nintendo from releasing N64/GBC colored joy cons for maximum profits anyway?

Still only have the grey ones that came with my Switch (I would've gotten the red-and-blue, but I could only find grey in stock when I bought my console). But I'm seriously considering getting the Animal Crossing joycon, those colors are gorgeous.

I have the most boring one... LOL

JoyCon sort of made me quit playing Switch...
Three sets. All of them drifting. Three sets almost the same price as a new Switch.

Neon green and pink all the way!

the ones that work properly

All these colors and still no solid black pair or white pair with black buttons. . . I'd settle for like a Yin and Yang color scheme pair. . .

17 different colours, so you only need 34 Joy-Cons (17 left, 17 right) to be able to produce all of these combinations.

I rock pink and purple joycons

My favorites? The ones without drift.

@Mountain_Man
Grey Joy-Con pair from launch day and neon yellow pair with no drift whatsoever. 🙂 But then again, my dock does interfere with the connection of my Joy-Con. 🙁

Blood red joycons are my favorite
Considering AC if sold separately or Blue/Yellow
My sister would love pink/purple but is impossible unless buying Splatoon set

The ones that work. Seriously. After Nintendo mailed back my right blue joy-con for drifting, the SL button stopped working on it.

Blue and red for me, had them since day one and I can't see the switch in any other colours!

289 combinations sounds a lot more impressive than 17 colors, doesn't it? Lol.

2 neon yellow new gen for me. Traded my old day one gray ones for them.

@smithpa01 Same here!

I've always hated the joycons, even before I had any drifting issues. Everything about it just feels incredibely cheap, the joystick feels pretty mediocre, the grip sucks.

Sharing the joycons for multiplayer games is even worse, unplayable for me.

The only redeeming quality is that the motion controls work really well, to bad there are very few games that actually utilizes it.

While I do appreciate all the ideas that Nintendo was going for, the end result is an overpriced piece of garbage that's either sub-optimal or terrible depending on how you want to use it.

Pro controller all the way for me.

Double neon green and double DQ blue for me. I’ll try to get those AC ones though.

Red Joycons from the Mario Odyssey Bundle with a matching red skin from dbrand for the console.

Default ... Because I don't need to pay 380 for new ones.

I love my double neon pink (me and a friend went in together on the Splatoon Green/Pink and Pink/Green and traded to get complete sets). But now that there are FINALLY some friggin' pastels, I'll shortly have new favorites.

So many joy cons , not enough SNES classic controllers !

And yet all I ever see at retail spots are red, blue, grey and sometimes that awful yellow.
