Nintendo has officially raised prices on a handful of Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, including pairs of Joy-Con 2 Controllers. Nintendo added five bucks to the MSRP on August 3, which means an extra set of Joy-Con 2 will cost you $100 instead of $95 going forward. Ironically, on the same day the price increases were announced (August 1), Target and Amazon shifted the price five bucks in the opposite direction. At the moment, you can still get a pair of Joy-Con 2 for $90 at both retailers.

Nintendo also added $5 to the Switch 2 Pro Controller’s MSRP, bumping it from $85 to $90. Amazon sold out of its inventory earlier today (August 3), but select retailers still have it for the old price. Walmart actually has the Pro 2 Controller for $84, but the price could change any minute now.

Joy-Con 2 Straps, which include wrist straps and a red/blue base for mouse mode, increased from $14 to $15. Amazon, once again, moved the price in the opposite direction, as you can get Joy-Con 2 Straps for $13.
The two main Joy-Con 2 attachments weren’t impacted by the price changes. The Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip with built-in back buttons remains $40, and the Joy-Con 2 Wheel Set for Mario Kart World is still only $25.
Take a closer look at the left and right Joy-Con 2 Controllers and the attachable accessories you can buy separately for docked mode.

Though the Joy-Con 2 Controllers are slightly larger than the original model, they share the same general design. Motion controls, (improved) HD Rumble, NFC support for Amiibo–these core features return along with a couple of new additions. Mouse mode, the novel new feature that lets you turn the controllers on their sides and scroll like a computer mouse, works quite well with compatible games. The right Joy-Con 2 Controller has the new C button to access the Switch 2’s GameChat feature.
Quality-of-life improvements include larger bumpers that improve playability with single Joy-Con controls and a magnetic connection system.
The set includes left and right Joy-Con 2 Controllers and a pair of wrist straps that are also used for mouse mode.
$55
Alternatively, you can buy single Joy-Con 2 Controllers for $55 each. The left Joy-Con 2 comes with a light blue wrist strip. Single Joy-Con prices are unchanged.

The right Joy-Con 2 has the GameChat button, so if you only want one extra Joy-Con 2, it probably makes the most sense to pick this one, especially if you’re interested in GameChat. It comes with a light red wrist strap.
$40
As mentioned, the Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip has the added bonus of two remappable back buttons. For some users, the back buttons might even be more appealing than the grip’s main feature: extending the battery life of your controllers while playing in docked mode.
