Gaming Accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2: A Dreamer's Perspective

Let's dive into some tantalizing Nintendo Switch 2 accessories that'll make your gaming experience more enjoyable, if only we could afford them! The following list is by no means exhaustive, but these top picks are certainly worth a mention.

1. Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

You might think this is an easy cop-out, but believe me, the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is more than just a fancy refresh of its predecessor. With enhanced features such as ergonomic grips, two back buttons, an improved rumble function, and an audio jack, it's a worthwhile investment, priced at $80 – cheaper than buying another pair of Joy-Cons 2!

2. Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip

For those who can't splurge on the Pro Controller, the Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip is a cool, pocket-friendly alternative at $35. This handy device not only provides a snazzy aesthetic but also allows you to charge your Joy-Cons while they're still in use. And, similar to the Pro Controller, it sports additional back buttons for added convenience.

3. dbrand Switch 2 Killswitch Case

Phew, finally! A protective case that strikes a balance between protection and style. The dbrand Switch 2 Killswitch Case promises an ergonomic design catering to adult hands, and it's available for a yet-to-be-disclosed price following a pre-order reservation. Extra features include grips for the analog sticks, a travel cover, and a game card holder.

4. Hori Split Pad Pro (Pikachu & Eevee edition)

Possibly my personal favorite Nintendo Switch accessory, the Hori Split Pad Pro (Pikachu & Eevee edition) is now selling for $74 on Amazon. This comfortable controller enhances precision with added back buttons and offers wireless connectivity, but lacks the new rumble functionality found in the Switch 2 Pro Controller. Given Hori's history of creating Switch accessories, it's safe to assume they'll be rolling out a new version designed for the Switch 2, hopefully with the much-anticipated rumble feature!

What About a Split Pad Pro 2?

With no official announcement from Hori about a "Split Pad Pro 2," the gaming community is left to dream and hope. Some discussions suggest the desire for a new Split Pad Pro for the Switch 2, and with Hori releasing a range of Switch 2 accessories in June (cameras, controllers, travel bags), there's certainly a chance we'll see a new ergonomic controller or grip in the near future!

Get ready to make some room in your shopping cart for these accessories, pokémon trainers! Now, enough talk... time to get gaming!
