The Joy-Cons labelled

The Joy-Cons are the main controllers of the Nintendo Switch that can be used in Splatoon 2.

Description

The Joy-Cons are the main controllers for the Switch, and two are included with every Switch, with extra's sold separately. They are small controllers, that can be slotted into both sides of the Switch Console to form the Gamepad esque Handheld mode, slotted into a Joy-Con Grip to form a more conventional controller, or used separately such as one in each hand, or as a controller each for multiplayer games. They Joy-Cons include SL and SR triggers, HD Rumble, and motion controls, and the Joy-Con (R) contains an IR camera and NFC pad. The D-Pad is replaced by directional buttons, to help 2 player modes.

Joy-Con Grip

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

The Joy-Con Grip is an accessory included with every Nintendo Switch that forms a more conventional controller. The player slots the Joy-Cons into either side of the Grip. The Grip does not add any more features. The Joy-Con Charging Grip is separate accessory that charges the Joy-Con while using it, and has a translucent plastic backing rather than the matte style plastic used in the regular grip.
