Boxy Pixel, the company behind the all-metal Game Boy, has announced its latest product, an all-aluminum Joy-Con for the Nintendo Switch
As with Boxy Pixel's other products, the company offers a metal enclosure for its gaming technology, but it is up to the user to assemble it, giving the Switch Joy-Con a DIY element
Aside from the fact that the Joy-Con is made of aluminum, it is slightly reminiscent of past Nintendo hardware The Joy-Con on the right side has four lines carved out toward the bottom, reminiscent of the speaker grille of the original Game Boy
The left Joy-Con also features a D-pad design, rather than Nintendo's default four-button layout Also, the back of the Joy-Con has a recessed line running across it, reminiscent of the DMG Game Boy aesthetic
The aluminum Joy-Con shell is not cheap The shell alone is $99 The metal buttons are another $22, and that's before tax and shipping Apparently, this is the boutique price of high-end gaming hardware YouTube channel Macho Nacho Productions has a great video that gives an in-depth tour of the Joy-Con Worth checking out
