The new Nintendo San Francisco store is opening soon, and we’re now hearing about a pretty neat customization opportunity for the Nintendo Switch OLED.
Consumers will be able to pick out their own color scheme for the console. Colors for the Joy-Con, dock, and wrist straps can all be fully decided upon. The dock is limited to the typical white and black options, but the Joy-Con and straps will have various options available.

IGN got an early look at the whole process and showed it off in a new video. You can check that out below.
