Joy-Con is the main controller set for the Nintendo Switch and one of two types that can be used in Splatoon 2. They use Bluetooth LE technology and have a battery life of over 20 hours of continuous gameplay. They also ditched traditional vibration technology in favor of HD Rumble for finer haptic feedback, and the aging + Control Pad for a 4-button array identical to ABXY with arrows replacing the letters on the Joy-Con (L), for more comfortable controls and the same single controller experience as with the Joy-Con (R).

Description

A Joy-Con (L)/Joy-Con (R) pair, two straps and a grip are included with every Nintendo Switch set, with extras and individual L/R controllers sold separately. Minus the L/R shoulder buttons, they are exactly as tall as the console itself to create a continuous rounded rectangle shape when they are attached to it.

Joy-Con (L) controllers have 11 buttons. A directional 4-button array that replaces the + Control Pad, the clickable Right Stick stick, the L shoulder button, the ZL trigger, the Capture button, SL and SR, Minus, and SYNC, which doubles as a power/reset button.

The Joy-Con Grip compared to the Joy-Con Charging Grip.

Joy-Con Grip

The Joy-Con Grip is an accessory included with every Nintendo Switch, that the player slots the Joy-Cons into either side of it to form a more conventional controller, however it does not add any other feature or establish any communications with the console or controllers whatsoever. The Joy-Con Charging Grip is a separate accessory that charges the controllers while using it if it is connected to the Nintendo S, and has a translucent plastic backing rather than the matte opaque plastic used in the regular grip.

Features

Joy-Con (L)

  • Left Stick: Used primarily to move the player's character in all directions.
  • ZL: Allows players to transform into squids or octopuses. In this form, Inklings and Octolings are able to move faster through their own ink and jump farther.
  • L: Used to throw clams that the player currently possesses in Clam Blitz.
  • Directional Buttons: Up and down on the directional buttons is used for Signals. On the map screen, holding A while pressing Left, Right or Up will slow the player to Super Jump to another player and Down s jumps to the Spawn Point.

Joy-Con (R)

  • Motion controls: By tilting the Joy-Con up, down, left, and right, players are able to change their Inkling's view and aim, and to move the cursor to Super Jump.
  • Right Stick: Used for more precise aiming, and controls which direction the player looks. Clicking it in will activates the players Special Weapon. The Right Stick stick is used a lot in menus.
  • ZR: Allows players to splatter ink using a variety of weapons. In Inkopolis Square, this button is used to zoom in on specific landmarks.
  • R: Allows players to use their sub weapon and, along with L, skip pages when selecting gear or using the menu.
  • A: Used in menus to select specific actions and options and, along with L, to throw clams in Clam Blitz.
  • B: Cancels an action or exits a menu or prompt, and doubles as the jump button.
  • X: Used to bring up the map in multiplayer matches and the shooting range, and the menu in the Square and places like Grizzco, The Shoal, and the shops.
  • Y: Resets the camera angle, allowing for quick corrections. This feature is most commonly used alongside motion controls.

Soon after the ARMS Direct, Nintendo announced new Splatoon 2 themed Joy-Con colors, Neon Green Joy-Con (L) and Neon Pink Joy-Con (R), along with other Splatoon 2 themed accessories including a Splatoon 2 themed Switch Pro Controller. They are sold separately in Japan, as a pair in Japan and Europe, or in a bundle with a Nintendo Switch, Splatoon 2 and a Splatoon 2 themed carrying case in Japan and America. They were released on the 28th July, a week after the release of Splatoon 2. Neon Green and Neon Pink Joy-Con straps were also offered exclusively in Japan.

On the 5th of January 2018[1], Joy-Cons with the swapped color scheme of Neon Pink Joy-Con (L) and Neon Pink Joy-Con (R) were announced, available by choosing them in the custom Nintendo Switch configurator in Japan or sold as a pair in America.
