Nintendo launched the “Switch” gaming console globally in 2017, and the portable gaming console has been a massive hit. In fact, according to reports, it beat both the PS4 and the Xbox One in global sales in 2018, which is insane. So, if you have been using a Switch for some time now, or if you just gave in to the temptation and bought yourself a new one recently, it’s probably a good idea for you to enhance your experience further with the best Nintendo Switch accessories.

In this extensive Nintendo Switch accessories roundup, we have included a variety of accessories. From a robust battery charger to handy playstand to a massive power bank, it’s got you fully covered. So, it doesn’t matter what fits your choice of accessories, you will find the right one that can get along elegantly with your Switch. Now that you know what this lineup has in store, let’s get started!

1. Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

For many people, the joy-con controllers which come out of the box are more than satisfactory for gaming on the Nintendo Switch. They are ideal for on the go gameplay and when you are playing games like 1-2 Switch. But for people looking for a more traditional approach, the Pro controller is for you.

Pros: 

Cons: 

The Nintendo Switch comes with a kickstand for all your portable needs. A nice addition, but the pre-equipped kickstand is nothing special. It is made of plastic which might be prone to a little wobble, and also covers up the charging port. The Playstand from Hori solves this by having a really good build quality while having no obstructions to the port.

The Playstand is made up of a hard plastic which offers more stability. Also, the stand offers multiple viewing angles, and the ability to fold completely flat for the ease of portability. It also makes for a good desk accessory. And the best part? It is only $13.

The Nintendo Switch comes with a USB type C port, which means it can be easily recharged by a power bank. But the condition is that the power bank must provide at least 5V 3A, or the Switch would still lose charge. The Anker PowerCore 26800 is a massive power bank with a 26,800 mAh battery.

4. Anker Powerline+ USB Type-C Cable

As we have mentioned, the Nintendo Switch has USB type C instead of some proprietary connector. This allows for a lot of third-party Type-C accessories to be used with the Switch. The Powerline+ is a USB Type-C cable. Now, you might find this odd that we have a USB C cable on this list, but if you own any other device you would know how easily the OEM cables break.

Cons: 

  • Doesn’t work older Android devices

This is one of the simple solutions to a problem most Switch users might encounter. The cartridges that come with Nintendo Switch are small, quite small, and if Switch owners prefer hard copies of games rather than digital, the probability of losing a cartridge would be quite high.

  • Compact design
  • Allows you to store up to 24 game cards
  • Memory card holder

There’s a hard outer layer that brings protection against drops and a soft inner layer which prevents scratches and scuffs. I also appreciate the memory foam lining which ensures a tight fit for all the accessories. This is one of the must-have Nintendo Switch accessories if you travel a lot.

The Joy Con controllers in the Nintendo Switch are great. They are new, fun to use, and quite portable. You can use them with Switch or separately for a more comfortale experience. You can even attach to various other accessories to get more features.

  • Tiny recessed shoulder buttons

Another great accessory for the Nintendo Switch is the Fintie protective case which is perfect for users who are looking for a lightweight protective case for their Switch. The Fintie case is a multi-functional case which not only protects the back but also the front of Switch thanks to its fold-able design. 

The Joy-Cons wireless controllers with the Nintendo Switch are quite unique to the gaming industry. Apart from just being controllers, they also include motion sensors and a unique vibrating system to make it more lifelike.

However, with all these sensors, they tend to run out of juice after some time. To aid them, Nintendo has a product called the Joy Con Charging Grip. It is a traditional-looking grip with a charging pad to charge the joy cons.

You will be using the Nintendo Switch a lot, on the go and we have already talked about the battery performance of the Nintendo Switch. It will last you two to six hours before it dies. That is a pretty large delta, so to be always prepared for the worst, a car charger would be handy.

Pros:

Cons:

This one is for the base Nintendo Switch station you are going to use at home. While wireless internet is convenient, easy to access, and fine for casual usage, when you need a high-speed internet connection with low latency, a wired connection is your best bet.

There’s only one problem with that, which is the fact that Nintendo Switch doesn’t have an Ethernet port. Well, this adapter solves this problem by introducing an Ethernet port to the Switch by using the USB port on Switch’s dock. Once connected, you can plug your Ethernet in the dongle and achieve the best speeds that your internet connectivity has to offer.

12. Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controller Pair

The Nintendo Switch comes with two Joy Cons out of the box, one intended for left-hand use, and the other for the right. However, the Nintendo Switch can be paired up with four different Joy Con controllers for either 4-way multiplayer matches or two-player modes. That’s what creates the need to have an extra pair of Jon Con Controllers at the disposal.

  • Build quality could be better

The Joy Con controllers have a long battery life – about 20 hours, according to Nintendo. But, when you are gaming heavily, you lose track of time. Maybe you have extra Joy Cons and you want to charge all of them at the same time. This is where the Joy Con Charging Dock comes into play.

  • Can charge up to 4 joy con controllers at once
  • Shows charge level for each joy con
  • Convenient slide-in design

The Nintendo Switch comes with a mere 32 GB of onboard storage. This is not much by today’s standards, and if you are someone who will be downloading a lot of stuff from the Nintendo eShop, then you should invest in a microSD card.

While the Nintendo Switch is essentially a portable console, when put together with its accessories, it isn’t as portable. If you want to carry the dock, your headphones, the charger, then packing everything together can be quite tedious.

Thankfully, Nintendo has rolled out an official backpack – the PDP Nintendo Switch Elite Player Backpack. Not only does the backpack look stellar on the outsides, but it also has enough space inside for all your accessories. It can pack the console, 15″ laptop, dock, cables, games, headphones, pro controller, and personal accessories, all together under a nice black and grey package.

  • High-quality material
  • Plenty of space for accessories
  • Padded straps and carry handle

Thanks to the 18W fast charging technology, it can juice up your video game console pretty fast.
