    It's Fine

    There are just certain games that need to use the Joy-Con controllers like Mario Party or Kart, and they're perfectly fine, however, I think given the option and availability, the Pro controller is the best route to go. However, if a game uses both and you're trying to be more frugal and pragmatic, then purchasing this would be the more ideal option as two players can use each individual controller (if the game allows for it).

    As usual, Nintendo makes a great product. The unusual colors are a great idea to keep specific sets of controllers from others. In our house, we rotate one set on the charger and one set in use. The difference in colors makes it easy to track.

    I needed a couple more joycons for Super Mario Party, and I wanted the pink one for me and the green one for my wife. These look nicer than the original grey, or blue and red ones however the pink is kind of bland. It's not a very vibrant pink, and it looks almost red. The green on the other hand is a very nice green, and my wife loves the color. I still prefer these over the original colors whether the pink is vibrant or not.

    If you need these you know it already, so I'll just talk about the colors. My daughter wanted the neon purple and it did not disappoint, she really likes it. It looks a little deeper purple in person but it's a nice color. My son immediately said the neon orange looked like the color of Kraft Mac & Cheese, and I have to say that assessment is spot on. I thought it would have a bit of sheen to it, but the color is completely flat. It wasn't what we expected, but we have grown to like it. As for the value, $80 for a pair of these stings, especially when the joysticks start malfunctioning. However, Nintendo has repaired multiple joy-cons for me at no cost, which I appreciate.

    I bought a second set of controllers for my nephew last Christmas and he loves having someone else to play games with. Having two more controller allows for him to also race with three other people on Mario Kart. Definitely a great buy!

    Classic JoyCons…red and the blue. Just wow. Not bad but you can find the Japanese or Hong Kong versions for 40-50 bucks on eBay.
