With this in mind, a fan of theiconic visual novel seriesDanganronpaon Reddit who goes by the name of ZorkDaGod_YT has created a custom design for the Nintendo Switch that’s themed around it. The design features the color motif of two iconic characters that appear in the first and second games, with the Joy-Cons sporting the logo of Hope’s Peak Academy.
Some players might notice the duality motif on the Joy-Cons and the dock. On the dock, players can see Monokuma, the emblematic robot character that’s controlled by the mastermind in each game in theDanganronpaseries. Monokuma’s design is manifested in the Nintendo Switch Dock through the design of his eyes. The rounded pupil on the left symbolizes HOPE, while the jagged pupil on the right represents DESPAIR. This symbolizes Monokuma’s nature as it’s a Yin/Yang motif that alludes to how one cannot exist without the other. Meanwhile, the Joy-Cons featureMonomi fromDanganronpa 2, Monokuma’s “sister” of sorts. She appears on the back of both of the Joy-Cons alongside Monokuma.
Players were pretty hyped after seeing this fantastic design by the Reddit poster. Some of them have made allusions to the dark nature of the game by making jokes about their controllers being covered in blood, while others have made other suggestions for the Joy-Con color scheme to fit better with the overall design of the console. The original poster expressed that they were inspired by the Nintendo Switch OLED that’s themed aroundTears of the Kingdomand that they also tried to make the renders look very similar to what the product images would look like officially if this themed Nintendo Switch were reality. Unfortunately, as realistic as these images look, this custom Nintendo Switch is not real. Still,Danganronpafans hope that Nintendo takes this creative design into consideration for a future special edition.
