Nintendo revealed a summer-y surprise for Switch owners last week as they announced a brand new line of delightful pastel Joy-Cons. The new line includes pairs of Pastel Purple and Pastel Green Joy-Cons and another set of Pastel Pink and Pastel Yellow.

They're lovely additions to the colorful selection of Joy-Cons already available, and if you're interested in picking a pair up for your Switch, the great news is that they’re available to pre-order right now! You won't have to wait too long to get them either, as they're set to release on June 30. Running for $79.99, you can pre-order these new Joy-Cons at the links below.

It's quite a summer in general for Nintendo Switch owners. Alongside having these beautiful new Joy-Cons available to pick up, Switch owners can also still purchase a variety of items related to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Alongside new and reprinted amiibo for the game, you can still pre-order the game's Complete Official Guides as well (in both a standard and collector's format) ahead of their release on June 16. With these, you can explore every inch of Hyrule with ease.

And, if you want to pick up a microSD card to add some additional space to your Nintendo Switch, we’ve got you covered there as well. In our Daily Deals page, you can find an excellent deal going on right now on a SanDisk Ultra 1TB Micro SDXC card for just $89.99, which is 36% off its usual price of $139.99. This card is fully compatible with the Switch, so you can stock it full of your favorite games to play this summer with your new colorful Joy-Cons.
