Nintendo's feeling the summer vibes this week, launching two new sets of Joy-Con with unique pastel colorways. Even better news - you can land yourself a pastel Nintendo Switch Joy-Con pre-order right now. The latest controllers come in either a Purple / Green pairing or Pink / Yellow, retailing at the standard $79.99 / £69.99 MSRP and launching on June 30. 

There's not long to wait to get your chill on, then - especially considering the retailers we're seeing offering pre-orders are ready to ship them in time for release day. In the US, we'd recommend heading over to Best Buy first and foremost, where you'll find both sets on the shelves with speedy shipping come launch time. Over in the UK, though, you're all set with Amazon, with all four colors ready and waiting. 

Whether you've suffered the dreaded Joy-Con drift, or you're looking to spice things up with some new Nintendo Switch controllers, this surprise drop is certain to bring some sunshine. It's a slight relief from Ninty's Zelda-marathon as well, though you'll still find the Tears of the Kingdom Pro Controller on the shelves below if you're looking for a complete setup overhaul.
