Here's where to pre-order the new pastel Joy-Con controllers for your Nintendo Switch

The pastel Nintendo Switch controllers are now £11 off at Amazon UK.

Last week I wrote about Microsoft's new pastel coloured Xbox controller and now it's Nintendo's turn to add a summery twist to their Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers.

The company has revealed four new pastel coloured Joy-Con controllers that will be sold as two new Joy-Con pairs: Pastel Pink/Pastel Yellow and Pastel Purple/Pastel Green. Each pair will be released on 30th June 2023.

The closest we've had to a 'pastel' coloured Joy-Con set were part of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons themed Nintendo Swich console. The ACNH Switch edition included a similar mint green Joy-Con, but was still pretty bright compared to these new pastel hues. The ACNH Switch console also sold out incredibly fast in the UK, so these new Joy-Con pairs are perfect for those who either missed out, or if you're not really a fan of Nintendo's more vibrant Joy-Con colour combinations.

As of right now, the new pastel Joy-Con pairs can be pre-ordered via My Nintendo Store in the UK and US for £69.99 and $79.99 respectively. The cheapest place to get them in the UK is in fact Amazon, who are issuing pre-orders for just £58.99. Buying the pastel Joy-Con controllers at Amazon will save you a handy 11 quid. We imagine other retailers will be stocking the new colour combinations soon and we will add links below when we spot any alternative retailers.
