Nintendo has this week revealed a new colour customisation program the company will soon be launching in Japan, allowing gamers to customise the individual Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers to suit their own preferences.
The new service has been announced via a web page on the Japanese site offering potential buyers the ability to choose custom colour combinations of the Joy-Con and Joy-Con straps. This exciting feature will enable users to mix and match colours to create a unique look for their gaming setup, adding a personal touch to their Nintendo Switch experience. Watch the video below to learn more about the new service which will hopefully roll out further than Japan in the coming months.
Details of the Customisation Program
Pre-orders in Japan for the colourful new additions will start on August 22nd from the official Nintendo webpage listed below, and orders are expected to start rolling out during October 2017. The customisation options include a variety of colours for both the left and right Joy-Con controllers as well as the straps, allowing for numerous combinations. This means that gamers can choose colours that reflect their personal style or even match their favourite games or characters.
For example, a fan of “The Legend of Zelda” might choose a green and gold combination to reflect the iconic colours of Link, while a “Super Mario” enthusiast might opt for red and blue. This level of customisation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the console but also adds a layer of personal connection to the gaming experience.
Potential Expansion and Future Updates
As soon as more details are announced about Nintendo making the new colour customisation service for its Switch console available outside of Japan, we will keep you up-to-date as always. There is a strong possibility that if the service proves popular in Japan, it will be expanded to other regions, allowing a global audience to enjoy the benefits of customising their Joy-Con controllers.
Moreover, Nintendo might consider adding even more colours and patterns in the future, based on user feedback and demand. This could include limited edition colours or special designs tied to upcoming game releases or anniversaries. Such updates would keep the customisation program fresh and exciting, encouraging more gamers to personalise their consoles.
In addition to the aesthetic benefits, this customisation program could also pave the way for more functional enhancements. For instance, Nintendo could introduce Joy-Con controllers with different textures or grips, catering to gamers who prefer a specific feel or require additional comfort during extended play sessions.
