<p>A new pair of Joy-Con controllers for <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUjNDL">Nintendo Switch</a> will soon be available. On <a href="https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/949309952459530241" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a>, Nintendo announced it is finally bringing the <a href="http://ift.tt/2nXgx9i">Splatoon 2</a>-themed neon pink and green Joy-Cons to North America this month.</p>
<p>While the Splatoon 2 controllers <a href="http://ift.tt/2qTFMxW">have been available in Japan</a> since the online shooter launched last summer, the only way Switch owners could purchase them in the US was as part of the Splatoon 2 Switch bundle. This marks the first time the Joy-Cons will be available as a standalone release. You can take a look at their packaging below.</p>

<p>Nintendo hasn&#8217;t announced an exact release date for the Splatoon 2 Joy-Cons, but they&#8217;ll be available in stores &#8220;later this month.&#8221; Likewise, the company hasn&#8217;t confirmed how much the controllers will cost, but they&#8217;ll presumably carry the same price tag as other Joy-Con sets, which retail for $80. A <a href="http://ift.tt/2sB2QPG">Splatoon 2 Switch Pro Controller</a> was also available for a limited time, though that has since been discontinued.</p>
<p>Nintendo has released several different Joy-Con colors for Switch since the console launched. Along with the standard grey and neon red and blue Joy-Cons, a <a href="http://ift.tt/2pv4C2m">neon yellow controller</a> was released alongside the colorful fighting game <a href="http://ift.tt/2oqlzNU">Arms</a> last June. Nintendo also released a <a href="http://ift.tt/2y9KZ50">pair of red Joy-Cons</a> with <a href="http://ift.tt/2onQhod">Super Mario Odyssey</a> back in October, though as was the case with the Splatoon 2 Joy-Cons, they have thus far only been available in the US as part of the Mario Odyssey Switch bundle. With any luck, they&#8217;ll also get a standalone release sometime soon.</p>
