The Nintendo Switch and its library of games, including Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Mario, hold a special place in our hearts despite the fun gaming machines like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. As we anticipate the potential launch of the next-gen console in 2024, we can still enhance our current gaming experience with a few choice accessories. These accessories not only make the Switch feel almost new again, but also improve gaming at home and on the go.
To store downloaded games, save files, and screenshots, a SanDisk microSD card is essential due to the limited on-board storage. The 256GB model is affordable and seamlessly works with the system. The 8Bitdo Pro 2, also compatible with Android, PC, Mac, and the Steam Deck, offers a more comfortable experience than the Joy-Con controllers. Additionally, the 8Bitdo Lite SE provides an arcade-like gaming experience, especially for gamers with limited mobility.
FastSnail grips are an economical way to make the Joy-Cons more comfortable, while the SteelSeries Arctis 1 and Razer Barracuda X offer great sound quality and stylish designs. The SteelSeries Tusq in-Ear Mobile Gaming Headset provides gaming headset advantages in a compact form. An iVoler Tempered Glass Screen Protector is recommended for the Switch OLED’s screen protection.
Anker’s PowerCore+ 26,800 charger is a slim, airplane-friendly battery pack for gamers on-the-go. For protection, the Amazon Basics Nintendo Switch case and large case are affordable and practical. The Timbuk2 x ASTRO Gaming CS03 Crossbody Sling is a rugged, stylish bag for carrying all essential Switch gear.
