Essential Nintendo Switch Accessories for your Brand New Gaming Console

Essential accessories for Nintendo Switch

If you’ve pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch or have been lucky enough to find one online, you’re probably exciting about getting your hands on the new hybrid gaming console. Here’s a quick look at some of the Nintendo-issued accessories currently available for Nintendo Switch that you might want to consider buying.

Carrying Case and Screen Protector

The Nintendo Switch is essentially a mobile device, so it requires a little more protection than your typical gaming console. The carrying case from Nintendo provides snug, cosy protection for your device when you’re on the move. The screen protector will give you an additional measure of safety, while maintaining the clarity of the screen and keeping your gaming experience intact.

Joy-Con Charging Dock

Have your Joy-Cons ready for multiplayer gaming anytime you want. Simply slide your controllers into the dock, and watch for the LED indicator to turn green and tell you that your controllers are charged and ready to go. If you’re an avid gamer and you don’t want to keep guessing whether there’s enough power in your controllers, this might be just the thing for you.

Extra Joy-Cons (Left and Right)

Depending on the game, you can either join them together or split them for two players. They come with their own buttons, a gyroscope and an accelerometer for independent control. It’s a great accessory to own when you have friends over for a session of social gameplay.

Joy-Con Wrist Strap

Great for intense gaming sessions because it keeps the controller attached to your wrist to prevent accidentally dropping it. It’s also easier to press the SL and SR buttons when you have the strap attached to the controller. Good for keeping your controllers safe from unintended damage.
