I'm scared that by the end of the Switch's run, I'm going to have a drawer filled with multi-colored Joycons.
Yeah, while I can see them not selling multiple Switch consoles to the same person, their sales of joycons are going to be a huge money spinner for them.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
Nintendo has really found their market in some of you guys. They are going to be seeing green with those controllers.

Wait, the bundle isn't coming to north america?
That's disappointing. Guess I'll just pick up the red and blue switch. If extra joycons weren't so expensive I might've considered grabbing those watermelon joycons.

Nothing has been announced yet, so there's a chance.
 
So what's the over/under on the opposite colors for those JoyCons so we can have a fully Neon Green or Neon Pink Switch? They gotta do the opposite colors, right??

Ah that's too bad. Oh well, I can wait for the later western release then

You can just buy the travel adapter from your local store. All Switch power supplies are universal (100-240vac 50/60hz) so they will work anywhere with a simple travel adapter. :)

This happened to me with wiimotes. I think I have at least 8 different colored wiimotes...
I already have grey and neon blue/red joy-cons and I preordered Pink/green set from amazon jp. Someone please send help.

This is exactly why I haven't bought another set of joycons and I'm glad I went with Neon Switch.

My only problem right now is that I want the yellow of ARMS but I'd love it bundled with another color.

That Pro controller makes no sense. Why didn't they just color the ink splashes? Or the buttons? Nope, let's color the parts you're gonna be covering with your hands the entire time.

Apparently Nintendo is also selling the box of the bundle in Japan? Like... Only the box. Nothing else. For 5 bucks.

Everyone has turned into a squid (or was it a kid?)

But yeah, Japan's infatuation with Splatoon is ginormous,

True, just the fact that they are selling the Splatoon 2 Switch box without contents separately is a hilarious reminder of Japan's Splatoon infatuation.

Man, Splatoon went from a game people thought would bomb like TW101 to being included in the first bundle for Nintendo's new hardware. I'm surprised they're pushing it out before a Mario or even Mario Kart bundle.

Though that pro controller... ew. Just have one solid color for the whole thing.

An ever-increasing palette of eye-catching colours is going to be one of the Switch's most successful selling points

I already thought it was a vibrant console with a blue and yellow joycon, let alone pinks and greens and all sorts of other neon varieties.

Those new pink and green joycons look hot. I guess I can kiss all my hopes and dreams of a limited Zelda Switch???

Mannnnn I already have a pro controller and convinced myself I'd wait until GameCube purple to pick up another set but these look amazing so I preordered a pair from Amazon JP.

Step 1: Release overpriced accessories.
Step 2: Rerelease overpriced accessories in a multitude of increasingly desirable colors and designs over a relatively short time period.
Step 3: Profit.

I still am blown away people thought Splatoon was going to bomb. The moment they revealed what it was I knew it was going to be a hit.

When I ordered the joy con last night it said they release July 21. Am I missing something or is it just a listing error?

Agreed. The system feels fun to customize.
