In a move 🌟no one saw coming, it looks like Nintendo is discontiꦬnuing the very vibrant red, the classic soft grey, and the neon yellow version of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers. The colors are still available for custom Nintendo Switch bundles, and there is no clear answer for how soon they will be unavailable — or how difficult𒁏 it will be to obtain the discontinued Joy-Cons.
If you are unable to get a hold of these retired colors and desperately want them, there are some do it yourself options to change the color and appearance of your Joy-Cons. There are stores, like many of the crafty Etsy sellers, who create new plastic shells for Joy-Cons. Be careful to read reviews and vet where you order your Joy-Con shells from, because poorly or incorrectly made shells can lead to warping. If the plastic edges don't properly form 🍒a tight seal, the Joy-Con is more prone to damage from small foreign particles entering the device.
Tom from IGN has a great tutorial showing how to replace the original Joy-Con shell. As he warns, there is a high risk of dam🦹age, and on hiꦚs first try he himself stripped a screw and was unable to finish his work.
Since removing the plastic casing to replace the shell involves lots of small screws, and the not-insignifi𒐪cant chওance of ruining internal mechanisms of your joy-con, sticker decals can be a much safer and easier way to go. There are so many artists who create beautiful work like or Unichameleon on E.
If you are artistically inc🔯lined, or can't🍎 seam to find the perfect design, you can even try to create your own decals from adhesive vinyls as IndogoCharge shows in this . Fair warning — it is not an easy process.
In the end, what your controllers look like are not going to aff🎶ect your gameplay. If you like the idea of having your video game console double as an accessory, the Switch Lite might be a better fit as they come is pastel colors.
