Are you playing Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch? Well, you’re in luck because Nintendo is hooking you up with the new Joy-Con Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle. We ask the most important question of all: Is the bundle worth it?

Season 6 of Fortniteis here! The new season went live on March 16 and to promote the new season Nintendo America announced the exclusive new Joy-Con Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle on Twitter.

If you are already sold and wondering when you can buy these sweet Fortnite Joy-Cons, know that you'll have to wait until June 4! That's not exactly close and more of a tease than anything else.

What’s in the Joy-Con Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle?

  • 1 Blue and 1 Yellow Joy-Con with Peely themed buttons
  • Fleet Force glider skin
  • Electri-Claw pickaxe skin
  • 500 V-Bucks

Not a terrible choice if you’re looking for a gift idea or a new pair of Joy-Cons to replace your worn-out ones! Typically, promo Joy-Cons start from around $80USD but no official price was announced by Nintendo.

Is The Fortnite Fleet Force Joy-Con Bundle Worth It?

  • Quick Answer: Yes, only if you need new Joy-Cons and actually like the skins!

Value Break Down of the Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle:

Assuming the Fortnite Fleet Force Joy-Cons are in fact $80, and a normal pair of boring Joy-Cons run you about $45, that it is a lot of extra cash to make up in value.

1000 V-Bbucks cost $10, and you get 500 of it in the Fleet Force Bundle with two accessory skins as well. Gliders and pickaxes skin prices vary but normally cost around 1200 V-Bucks. That means you're getting about $35 worth of V-Bucks in the Fleet Force Bundle making it just an okay deal and nothing amazing.

Always keep in mind these kinds of products often gain value over time as they are often sought out by collectors and sell-out fast.
