Looks starkly… Non-Nintendo-y?
I dunno, changing from the full colored joycons to black with accents and more rounded corners caught me off guard. This looks like a handheld from GPD or ONEXPLAYER

True theseloook rather serious. That said their customer base is also far wider than children these days.

I’m sure that they’ll have a billion models with more color

Everything has to look so serious these days.

The colourful Joy Cons were part of the Switch’s identity, sad to see it reduced to an accent they seem almost ashamed of.

People said similar things about the all-white Wii after the GameCube - it’s just the natural ebb and flow of product design

I’m guessing the all grey model probably sold better than the one with colorful joycons so they lead with that this time.

My hope is that they have an inverted version

I think they were the same, but the coloured ones were a little harder to get irrc? Preordered the grey version and it cost 330€ - coloured joy-cons should have been the same
