The Switch 2 Needs More Color

by

The Switch 2, as we understand it, will be Nintendo’s strongest console yet, and they seem well aware of this. In the recent Nintendo Direct presentation, they emphasized its 4K resolution and 60 frames per second performance. This is a significant leap from its previous model, particularly considering games like Cyberpunk 2077 will be available at launch.

It’s great that the Nintendo Switch 2 packs a punch, but adding more vibrant colors to make it more distinct would be beneficial. Fans appreciate its minimalist design, but it lacks the characteristic Nintendo flair. If there’s one aspect that this new system should have inherited from its predecessor, it’s the availability of multiple color options at launch.

What are the Nintendo Switch 2 color variants at launch?

As an ardent Nintendo enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will debut in a captivating, monochrome style – a sleek black finish adorned with vibrant red and blue accents on its iconic Joy-Cons.

There’s talk that the upcoming console might feature interchangeable Joy-Con panels, though this hasn’t been officially verified yet. It appears that Nintendo’s latest system may debut with a single version initially, which is quite surprising given that they usually release multiple versions at launch for some systems, offering additional colors later on.

It’s possible that Nintendo could introduce additional color options for their console by the end of the year, which seems fitting around the holiday season. Fingers crossed that they also release vibrant accessories to liven up this new console since the all-black design with colored Joy-Con accents appears rather monotonous at present.

Did the Switch have multiple color variants at launch?

Indeed, the initial release of the Nintendo Switch offered two variations: one featuring red and blue Joy-Cons, while the other had gray ones.

Over time, additional Switch models were introduced in a range of color schemes. The initial launch of the Switch Lite offered Yellow, Grey, and Turquoise Blue versions. Meanwhile, the Switch OLED model predominantly showcased the black and white Joy-Con setup, but retained earlier color options such as red, blue, or grey. It’s also worth mentioning some exclusive editions tailored to specific games, like the gold Hyrule Switch Lite.

It’s unfortunate that Switch 2 doesn’t plan to offer color options at launch, as it could help the device stand apart from other PC handhelds. For instance, the Steam Deck and ROG Ally are marketed with stylish or trendy colors. Instead, Nintendo might have opted for something unique with a selection of more vivid tones, perhaps even incorporating GameCube or SNES color schemes, which fans would have found appealing.

Will we get more Switch 2 colors?

Knowing Nintendo, they will make more colored variants if this system sells well.

Given that Nintendo’s original Switch is their highest-selling console, we anticipate that this latest model should perform quite well. Preorders for the system in Japan are proving challenging, even for Masahiro Sakurai – creator of Kirby – who needed to enter a lottery to secure one. It goes without saying that this system is likely to be a hit and may even see multiple color options released.

If Nintendo were to introduce a lighter version of the Switch 2, known as the “Switch 2 Lite,” it’s likely that this device might come in various color options. Given that it’s primarily designed for portable play, gamers would undoubtedly appreciate having a wider range of colors to select from. Whether or not the Switch 2 eventually gets a Lite version remains uncertain, but such an option could cater well to players who prefer handheld gaming.
