Nintendo is adding a fresh splash of colour to its hardware lineup. Announced today, new Light Purple and Light Green Joy-Con controllers are officially launching on February 12, 2026, giving players a softer, more playful option for their Nintendo setups.

A Fresh Look for Joy-Con in 2026
The Light Purple and Light Green Joy-Con bring a lighter, pastel-inspired aesthetic that stands apart from Nintendo’s more traditional neon and primary colour options. They feel deliberately clean and modern, while still very much in line with Nintendo’s long-standing love for expressive hardware design.
This continues a tradition Nintendo has upheld since the launch of the Switch: controllers are not just accessories, they are part of the console’s personality.
Release Date and Canadian Pricing
- Launch date: February 12, 2026
- Canadian pre-order price: $124.99 CAD
The new Joy-Con are expected to be compatible across existing Nintendo Switch systems, making them an easy upgrade or addition for multiplayer households.
