Nintendo Switch update: Fans receive the BEST news ahead of 2018

 owners have been treated to the best news, as the platform holder promises more Joy-Con customisation.

Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi told IGN that the company is thinking about releasing new Joy-Con colours and designs.

“One of the great strengths of the Nintendo Switch is that though you can play it as a console, you can also separate these two controllers from the hardware,” Takahashi said.

“This gives us a lot of possibilities that we could consider for the future in terms of what you could attach.

“I think that that would be a really good time for us to think about some very different colours or designs applied to [Joy-Con]. That might be interesting.”
