IIRC both Blue Left/Red Right and Red Left/Blue Right bundles are available. I don't think you need to buy both sets.

Yes.
12S
Looks like Nintendo is just sharing their demos with IGN, at least for Zelda.

It's crazy how much the Neon adds to the look of the system.
Yeah. Here's a Reddit post about it.
I noticed that.
Version .12S (as in the photo) was the demo version that the press played. Version 1.00 was the one they played on the Treehouse stream, and supposedly the final version.
Same here. I like the red, but not a fan of blue. Will buy a second set of joycon's down the road in red. For now, the gray joycon's and a pro controller will do.

That seems like a decently safe bet, however the game didn't go gold until just very recently. So the retail version could be newer than 1.0. Or the Treehouse 1.0 could have just taken that long to get through certification and get to be gold. Whatever the case, 12S is not retail.

So we're just thinking it's coincidence some random gaffer got his Switch early just as review were systems sent out? Hmm...

Press units have not been sent out. This was just Nintendo taking a trip to IGN.

Lelwut, he was slightly chubby before, not morbidly obese.
I... Actually kind of get that. Was gonna do that with my grey Joy-Cons, but yeah, something about red on the left doesn't look right in my head. For some reason it feels lopsided.
Not that I'd make a big deal out of it.

Yeah, it's just a bit bigger than a closed 3DS XL.
Brian feeds off of hype. Low calories, high nutritional value.

Congrats! As someone who mostly listens to you via podcasts I didn't notice until this picture.

Pretty obvious, isn't it? Lol.
Exactly my opinion. Shame pure-red Joy-Cons aren't available here in Britain because I'd be getting those for sure. The Neon does look better but the asymettry would just get on my nerves after a while I think.

Congrats! Eating better is so impactful. You look 10 years younger.
Never heard of this before I dont think....looks uncomfortable to play with.
My reaction because I didn't preorder.
Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh, that's that shit that I like.

Don't worry, once your Switch spends most of the time docked (due to a slow trickle of games coming out, i.e. from April onwards), you'll appreciate it having a more understated look.
Neon Switch looks GREAT in portable mode. grey looks better as a console or while charging, imho.

I already have the Switch preordered but I. .. really need that Wu-Tang controller.
Can't you just take the joycons out while it charges then, and store them? Then it looks understated no matter what color joycons you have.
fuck they have zelda
Individually, I love the colors. If I'm to cover the left side, look at the console, and then cover the right side and do the same, it's perfect. However, I just can't get over the mismatch of colors. I get that some people enjoy that sort of thing, and it does make it look unique (?), but I'd prefer a single color for the joy-con.
So yeah, I don't regret my pre-order for the gray version, but I do wish they had decided to go with neon blue or neon red (and not a combination of the two) as the color option.

I am super glad I went with gray too. I just don't like something that is so flashy ams draws so much attention. I'm also happy that Nintendo finally went with a design that doesn't look like a toy and I want to support that decision.
One thing i just realised. The Neon colors are the 1, 2 switch edition (see logo) so I am thinking they might release other colors when other important games launch to go with them, like in the great mock up below.

Those neon Joy-Cons are really starting to grow on me.
