Don’t fancy keeping your console in one place? The Nintendo Switch is the perfect portable gaming solution, which you can plug in and play at any point.

But if you’re going to join Mario and his Super Smash Bros., you’ll want to be prepared, right?

Whether you’re bringing the family together under one console, building islands in Animal Crossing with your friends, or flying solo, we’ve got the gaming accessories you need. In our quick guide to Nintendo Switch gaming accessories, we’ll tell you what they are and why you need them.

I’ve just bought a Nintendo Switch – are there starter kits?

Of course there is! Like Nintendo themselves, we’ve always been about empowering gamers. That’s why we created our Starter Kit for Nintendo Switch.

Why do I need a Nintendo Switch Starter Kit?

This one’s simple – do you want to win the race or settle for second best? Our starter kit for Nintendo Switch gives you everything you need to get off the ground from the moment you press play.

Don’t get left behind on the starting lap whilst your friends shoot off into pole position, get yourself into gear with a starter kit.

What does a Nintendo Switch Starter Kit include?

Whether it’s tending to our Animal Crossing islands, catching all our favourite Pokémon, or saving the world in The Legend Of Zelda; we spend a lot of time on our Nintendo Switch’s.

Gaming on the go is everything we’ve ever wanted. So we made not one, but two, ways for you to keep your games safe when you’re on the move: our Carry Case and Protective Shell Case.

Why do I need somewhere to store my games?

When the world first got introduced to the Nintendo Switch, we all clapped for the return of portable gaming. But if you can’t keep your games with you on the go, what’s the point, right? Whether it’s our Protective Shell Case or Carry Case, don’t let gaming FOMO come for you.

Why wouldn’t you want one? Here’s a handful of reasons why you’ll want to grab yourself a headset as soon as possible:

  1. You can game from dusk to dawn without disturbing your housemates – and fully immerse yourself into your gaming at the same time!
