It’s been 5 years since the Nintendo Switch dropped into our lives. And picking up our Joy-Con’s and spending hours with Link, Mario, and Tom Nook still fill us with the warmth of milk and cookies. But if you’re just getting started with the Switch, we’re here to lend a helping hand.
So you don’t have to miss out on clocking up Nook miles in Animal Crossing: New Horizons or becoming the champion and catching them all in Galar in Pokemon Sword and Shield, we’ve done your homework for you. In our quick guide to Nintendo Switch accessories, we’ll tell you what they are and why you need them.
How do I keep my Joy-Con controllers charged?
All you need is our dock-and-store Quad Charging Station.
