Samsung microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2
Samsung microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2

If there’s one thing every video game console needs more of, it’s storage. The Switch 2 comes with 256GB of onboard storage, but if you want to add more, a regular microSD card won’t cut it. The Switch 2 requires a microSD Express card, and because few products required them prior to the Switch 2, they’re hard to find in stock. To help feed the demand, Samsung and Nintendo are teaming up to make a special Mario-themed microSD Express card, which is only available in 256GB at launch.
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Controllers

The main input on any Nintendo Switch 2 is Joy-Con 2 controllers. While the Switch 2 is compatible with Joy-Cons from the original Switch, using them is far from ideal. They can’t wake the Switch 2 from sleep, and they can’t attach to the side for handheld play. Also, the new Joy-Con 2 input devices have several new features: mouse functionality, a team chat button, and a fancy magnetic attachment mechanism.
Joy-Con 2 (L) – Light Blue – $54.99
Joy-Con 2 (R) – Light Red – $54.99
If you need to replace on of the Joy-Con 2 that come with the Switch 2, you can also do that by purchasing the left or right ones individually.
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

Joy-Cons are fine for handheld mode, but when I’m playing my Switch on the TV, I absolutely reach for a Pro Controller. The Switch 2 Pro Controller is functionally very similar to the original one for the original Switch, but it can wake the Switch 2 from sleep and it has a GameChat button, also found on Joy-Cons 2. And it charges in half the time. Nice.

If you plan to play Switch 2 with your friends online, you may want to pick up a Switch 2 camera to go along with your new console. It lets you broadcast your face to your friends online during Team Chat, and it also helps identify players during local play in games like Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV.

Switch 2 All-in-One Carrying Case – $84.99
If you plan to play your Switch 2 in handheld mode, or to travel with it, you’ll definitely want to protect your hybrid console with a case. Nintendo is releasing two cases.
One is a slim case that comes with a screen protector and is useful for people who want to play the Switch 2 in handheld mode while on the go.
The other is an All-in-One case that’s big enough to store a Switch 2 console, dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, cables, and up to six Game Cards. It also comes with a screen protector and a cleaning cloth.
