Wireless NES-Style Nintendo Switch Controllers
Switch your Switch up with a pair of shiny new wireless Nintendo Switch controllers. Made to complement classic titles and Nintendo's September 18, 2018 launch of its Nintendo Switch Online service, the controllers mimic retro NES designs.
For Switch enthusiasts, word of the new wireless controllers might be welcome news but, as the pendulum swings, there are a few pieces of unwelcome news that accompany it. 1) Only players who purchase a Nintendo Switch Online membership - a real one, none of that free trial workaround - will be able to buy the controllers. 2) Each eligible buyer is allowed only 1 set of controllers, sold as pairs. 3) Shipments won't start until mid-December 2018 (but will presumably arrive in time for Christmas.)
If you don't mind a more updated NES look on your Joy-Cons, or paying the equivalent of Nintendo's price, plus the online Switch membership price without the benefits of online Switch membership, you can get a pair of ColorWare's Joy-Con Classic mods now.
