Fortniteis still one of the most popular games in the world, and thanks to its incredible sales success, the Switch is becoming one of the most popular consoles in the world as well. Considering this, it’s no surprise that there have been a number of cross-promotional efforts betweenFortniteand the Switch, and now Nintendo has pulled the curtain back on the latest one:Fortnite-themed Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons.
Nintendo revealed theFortniteJoy-Cons in a social media post where it confirmed that the bundle would be available starting June 4. The Joy-Con Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle includes blue and yellow Joy-Con controllers, with the yellow controller having an extra sticker on it to make it look like thepopular banana skin Peely. However, those that decide to purchase theFortniteJoy-Cons will get more than just the controllers.
