Body should have been white with light grey or gold circles on back. Still love mine but that would have made it perfect!

@austintea Жыл бұрын

I actually really like how subtle the back is, coloured main bodies make them look weird when using different joycons and also draw too much attention. I dont like using the limited joycons when im out of the house because i dont want to damage them since it would be difficult to replace and are more likely to get my switch stolen

@switchunboxing Жыл бұрын

Exactly it works with any JoyCon, and not only that but the back of the JoyCon being white means they’ll look good on almost any switch as well. Nintendo is really thinking about compatibility here.

@chaoscolby I don't really think the scarlet violet switch looks bad, but I prefer something that doesn't stand out as much, and I also don't always use the limited edition joycons unless I'm at home since I don't want to lose or damage them and the purple and red back doesn't go well with other coloured joycons, I primarily use a blue and orange pair of joycons when I am out of the house because they are my 2 favorite colours(other than pink but I don't like the pink Joy cons colour) and the bright blue wouldn't look good with the purple and the orange colours don't match with the SV switch

@-God_Usopp Жыл бұрын

I personally love the Zelda oled back. It’s simplistic, not too much is going on at once and it’s on theme. Also if u own ya know it’s textured and feels nice lol. The Pokémon one fire was too crowded and the colors kinda made it worse tbh, way too much going on for me.

@themysticlinguine Жыл бұрын

I think the green makes more sense than you might think. Breath of the Wild was very blue-heavy. Through the trailers, posters, cover art, and especially in game, there are a ton of blue elements. For Tears of the Kingdom, I think we are going to shift to a green-centric game. Wherever there was blue in Breath of the Wild, will now be green in Tears of the Kingdom

@etiennebeaudoin6892 Жыл бұрын

I think the minimal back design is perfect. The switch is designed to use many different joycon, so a neutral back looks best. This way, you can still see it’s a special addition, without ruining the way it looks with other colours. I’ve done some shell swaps on my old switch, but always went back to the classic black since most of the shells only looked good with their corresponding joycons. I think the Scarlet and Violet switch suffers from the same issue - it looks AMAZING with its original joycons, but I imagine it looks off when paired with the neon blue/red ones, or other colours. A good balance is maybe the Japanese one (I am forgetting the name), where the system is mostly black but with a couple blue points. This gave it colour without affecting its overall ability to look good with other joycons.

When I see that green pattern on the JoyCon, the backwards auto tune chanting immediately pops into my head. The white gold though just looks so awesome I wish it was on both of em lol. Gotta agree though, that dock is really the stand out here. 👏

@mastercraft64 Жыл бұрын

My biggest gripe with this system and all special editions so far is that the joycon grip is just the standard black one. It would look so much better with a matching one for the joycons

@WEIRDED_BEARDO Жыл бұрын

They went with the green aesthetic over the blue because green (courage) is the theme color of Tears while blue (wisdom) was the theme color of Breath. I bet we'll see a red (power) in the final game of the trilogy on Switch Too!

I like it, might get it (and sell my current OLED). I'm just a little frustrated that Nintendo (or maybe the Japanese in general) seem to just love asymmetrical designs. Even Ganondorf's robe/tunic is different on one side with the sleeve. I can understand different Joy-Cons in a sense to add variety, but even the dock design is asymmetrical and it really bugs me. At least with most Joy-Cons I can choose to use the same color on both sides, but I can't change the dock.

Totally agree with the left joy con. Have ordered it myself, but I will probably get some white joy cons to use with it instead.

I agree, the Switch looks beautiful for 720p or even 1080p when on a TV/Monitor, but it's been using hardware from 2017 ever since. It's not bad hardware, but with consoles like the PS5 or Xbox being able to output 4k or even 8k, it just isn't up there. I think we need at least 1440p 60+ fps. Nintendo focuses on fun instead of the coolest looking, overpowered console, which I can understand. You don't need that type of stuff to have fun in gaming, but it's nice to have.
