Best Nintendo Switch Accessories in 2024 Today

Compatible with the original Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite, Nintendo’s official Joy-Con controllers are hard to beat in terms of their feel, build quality, and battery life – which gives you up to 40 hours on a full charge.

These Switch Joy-Cons are perfect for playing Switch games on your TV playing with a more traditional controller in your hand. They support HD rumble and Amiibo and come in several fun colorways, including the standard Neon Red and Blue.

The Nintendo Switch has limited internal storage of 32GB, which means that to store all of the best new Nintendo Switch games you’ll need a micro SDXC card. We’ve picked these SD cards from SanDisk because they’re designed specifically for the Switch. We found them to be reliable, and thanks to their transfer rates of up to 100MB/s they load games quickly.

SanDisk’s MicroSD cards start at 64GB capacity and go all the way up to 1 TB. Of course, the biggest cards are the most expensive. We’d recommend starting with at least a 128GB card, which is enough to store between five to ten games, depending on their size. Once you’ve chosen the right capacity for your budget, you can also choose the branding of your card from popular franchises like the Mario and Legend of Zelda.

While the Nintendo Switch technically comes with two controllers in the form of a pair of Joy-Cons, sometimes you might want to play a three-player game. This officially licensed Power A wired Switch controller gives you an amazing console-like experience, and it connects to the dock using the 10ft included cable.

It’s a great backup for when a friend comes over and has the same traditional switch button mapping and extra buttons on the back. These controllers might look vibrant and fun, but one thing to be aware of is that they don’t have a gyro fitted, so motion gestures and controls won’t work, and they lack any rumble or vibration features too. While Joycon controllers on their own can be pretty pricey, the Power A wired Switch controller is a very affordable option.

Dbrand offers a massive range of skins and screen protectors for the Switch family of consoles. We couldn’t pick just one design here, but whether you want a plain, pastel, or patterned design, you’ll find an option to suit you. We love the quality of Dbrand’s skins, which are thin enough to stay subtle but also offer protection against scratches when you’re playing on the go or carrying your Switch around in a backpack.

Dbrand offers Nintendo Switch skins, Switch Lite skins, and Switch OLED skins, which are all precision-cut to fit your device snugly. The company even makes Switch Pro Controller skins so that you can fully customize your Switch setup. Dbrand is based in Canada, but most orders over $30 get free tracked shipping to the US and UK.

If you have multiple accessories for your Nintendo Switch console, then your gaming room or living space might start getting a little cluttered. The best way to avoid this is with the Switch Games Organizer Station. This affordable contraption allows you to keep everything together including Joy-Cons, game cases, individual cartridges, pro controllers, and your Switch itself. This isn’t just a tower, though. It can also fast charge your controllers and charge four Joy-Cons within two hours!

As for cons, it’s a little bulky and the hooks for your controllers might be a hazard if you have pets. However, the game box display portion is wonderful for those of us who love to collect physical copies of games and show off our collections.

This game cartridge cube is 3D-printed and intended to keep your cartridges all together in one place. Did we mention that it’s Mario-themed too? Each cube has a large capacity of 16 card slots to make traveling with your collection easier than ever.

If, like us, you have tons of games to store, you can get a few of these cubes and stack them in a display. It’s a bit pricey, but the effect is worth it. The only downside to these cubes is that if you lose them, then you lose all of your games… so keep them as safe as you can!

If you don’t already have a screen protector on your switch then stop what you’re doing immediately and get one. We can’t stress enough how important it is to have a screen protector on your Switch, and this low-cost accessory is one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories that will keep your console scratch and crack-free.

Switch consoles can crack just as easily as the best gaming phone, and nobody wants to play Pokemon on a damaged console. This screen protector and cloth kit from PDP is a good choice, as it includes two HD protectors and a Nintendo-branded cloth.

This adorable stand and dock is possibly the best Nintendo Switch accessory ever. Not only can it hold your Switch perfectly still and frame it like you’re playing hands-free through a miniature TV, but it’s also in the shape of the loveable Cartoon Network character BMO from Adventure Time.

This dock comes in either pink or blue colors for the ultimate kawaii-style gaming room setup. Game hands-free and in style from the comfort of your desk with this handy BMO dock. 

Everyone needs some sort of case to keep their Switch in. It could be a slim pocket, or you could go for the Hori cargo pouch we have here. It has plenty of room for a Switch, spare Joy Cons, games, and headphones, with a handle so you can carry it easily.

Now, we picked the pastel Pokémon themed cargo pouch for our entry, but Hori makes plenty more options. There are Zelda, Princess Peach, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing-themed hard cases, or plain ones if you’re not vibing with a particular game. Hori even does cross-body bags to fit a Switch and some accessories, too.
