These are the joy cons from older bundles that are being re-added in the 2023 MAR10 Day Bundle. This is a more accessible way to get the joy cons without dealing with the bundle.
Mileage may vary but I have bought 3-4 consoles and 2 sets of joy cons from Nintendo’s refurbished store and all have been perfect

They look even better in person and probably my favorite looking joy cons.
Would much rather just buy brand new ones for $20 more at that price.
Joycons are flakey enough as is, idk if I’d want to buy refurbished ones tbh.
Ordered a pair ages ago when they were only available in Japan and it’s my daily pair. Love the colour.
Good looking out. Ordered a left to go with a white right for a pokeball look.
I got these imported from Japan years ago when they released. I absolutely love the color.
Left one sold out as of this writing. Right still available.
apparently they have the pikachu yellow joicon omg
Damn it, 15 minutes too late. Been needing a replacement Left red joy con for years now
Scalpers in full force
My god it’s a good thing i picked this up days ago i was even contemplating getting them in a later time
I can’t remember the last time I used a joycon. Pro controller when docked and split pad pro when handheld.
How do people go through these so quickly? Still have the same ones from when i bought my switch 5 years ago
Do the refurbished Joy-Cons come with pre-installed drift?
Man, wish I could get a neon blue (or ideally the darker blue that shipped with the Blue & Yellow set) pair for my Mario Switch.
Refurbished joy con sounds like asking for trouble lol
Thanks for posting this. It prompted me to check out the store and I see they have a refurbished left neon green joy-con now! My dog chewed on mine a few weeks ago that came with my Super Mario Party bundle. Glad I can get a replacement for $30 instead of spending $70+ elsewhere.
Apparently colors must come in and out, so it’s worth checking the store every so often to see if they’ve added more. I know the neon green one wasn’t there before (or the Pikachu yellow).
Sounds like a bargain until you realize the pro controller’s that price almost anywhere all the time
Joy-Cons are a neat gimmick but they kinda just, suck. If I played handheld a lot I’d get a dedicated handheld control solution, and they’re not good for TV play either, they just exist as a “good enough” controller for everything that drifts in a few years at best.
Does anyone know if they’ll restock the left one?
Why did the left one sell out so quickly but the right one didn’t?
