Update: Nintendo responds after fans accuse company.

Yesterday, Nintendo announced that it would be bringing its ‘My Mario’ collection to the West next month. It launched a cute new marketing campaign showing happy parents and young children putting the products to the test, but the images quickly set AI alarm bells ringing for many on social media (thanks for the heads up, The Gamer).

You see, in a lot of the promotional images, commenters online thought that the fingers just don’t add up. One model’s thumb appears bent back to an impossible angle, while another hand holding up a toddler has been criticised for its finger length and placement.

When Nintendo announced the new alternative colour Joy-Con controllers for the Switch 2 this week, one thing became adamantly clear: it’s quite possible that we’ll never get any solid colour Joy-Con. Those little accents around the analogue sticks are likely all you’ll see when the Joy-Con are attached to the console. And that’s fine, y’know?

But if you’re not especially pleased about this, then accessory manufacturer Dbrand might have you covered. The company has revealed that it is launching ‘ColorMatched’ skins that will effectively take the accented colours of the new Joy-Con and apply the same colour to the entire controllers. The result, provided to apply them properly, is pretty neat.
