The new Joy-Con, which takes the left position, will be sold for $25. That low price point was achieved by omitting a number of features, including Bluetooth, gyrosensor, and SL/SR buttons. But if you enjoy playing games in handheld mode, this might be what you’re looking for.

Nintendo is no stranger to orchestrated live concerts thanks to its long-running The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert tour. Now, Nintendo is giving a similar treatment to a certain famous plumber and his arch-nemesis.
Announced today via Famitsu, Super Mario Orchestra Concert – “Koopa (Bowser) is the Hero!?” will be part of the KYOTO CMEX2018 (Kyoto Cross-Media Experience festival). A total of three shows will be held during the festival: at 6 PM on September 15th, at 1 PM on September 16th and finally at 5 PM on September 16th (all times JST). Ticket prices range from 1,000 to 8,500 Yen.
As the name of the concert implies, it seems like a special focus will be given to Bowser and his various themes from across the series. The concert will feature a variety of songs from many different Mario games, from the original Super Mario Bros. all the way to Super Mario Odyssey.
