A limited edition Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controller set will be released this March to coincide with the launch of Princess Peach: Showtime. The announcement of the special bundle was met with generally positive reactions, but there were still aspects of the upcoming release that were criticized by people on the internet.
A variety of Joy-Cons have been released ever since the Switch was first put on the market in 2017. Gamers can now pick up the controller in a wide variety of colors and styles, from plain white, to something more elaborate like the special models that were released alongside The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Edition. Nintendo will be dropping a unique Joy-Con bundle again in March to mark another game launch.
In a recent Twitter post, Nintendo revealed that a set of pastel pink Switch Joy-Con controllers will be released on March 22 to coincide with the launch of the adventure game Princess Peach: Showtime. This will only be available for a limited time at select retailers and the My Nintendo Store, according to the company. There is already a pastel pink Joy-Con that was released in 2023, but it only comes in a bundle with a pastel yellow controller. Nintendo did not mention the price of the upcoming pastel pink bundle, but it will probably be $80 like the other colored Joy-Con sets.
The reaction to Nintendo's announcement regarding the new Switch Joy-Con bundle was mostly positive, with several Twitter users commenting on the post that they wanted the set.

As more than 130 million Switch units have been sold since the console's launch, there could be strong demand for any special Joy-Con release like the pastel pink bundle.
Nintendo Switch owners have long complained of problems with the Switch controllers, specifically the dreaded Joy-Con drift. A past survey conducted by a British consumer group found that around 40% of Switch users have experienced the problem, but a new patented design could finally solve Joy-Con drift. In the meantime, Nintendo has offered to provide free repairs for controllers affected by Joy-Con drift regardless of their warranty status.
Despite its many issues, the Nintendo Switch's controllers are still considered great, and there are many things that Joy-Cons can do better than other controllers. It seems other companies have seen the strengths of the Joy-Cons, as it has been rumored that Microsoft could be developing its own Switch-style controllers.
Nintendo's newest system features a vibrant 7-inch OLED screen, a wide adjustable stand, a dock with a wired LAN port, 64 GB of internal storage, and enhanced audio. Improvements to visuals, audio, and connectivity make a
