Since the launch of the Nintendo Switch, we’ve seen a wide variety of Joy-Con controller variations over the years. With so many colors on the market, you should find a Joy-Con to express your own individual personality.
However, IGN bigwig Peer Schneider has noticed a glaring problem – and no, it has nothing to do with floating analog sticks. There are just too many shades of red in the variants for sale.
In a recent tweet, Peer shows a photo of the Neon Red, Super Mario Odyssey Red, Splatoon pink and the Joy-Con bundled with the Mario Red & Blue Edition. And we have to admit he’s right – they all are remarkable similar, with only one very slight difference in hue between them. He also makes the pretty good point that there are colors in the spectrum that Nintendo hasn’t used for Joy-Con yet – maybe now is the time to do that.
In any case, Peer is impressed that the Switch’s UI can tell them apart when docked in the system. Now that’s a nice touch!
We are still coming to terms with the two shades of blue on display with the recently unveiled Limited Edition Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Cons. Come on, Nintendo. Pick a shade of blue and stick with it.
