What's up my friends it's Ray back here and in today's video, I'm going to be sharing
with you some of my personal favorite accessories that I think are essential must haves for
the Nintendo Switch.
No matter if you have the new OLED Switch, the Nintendo Switch Lite or the regular Switch,
this is going to be the video for you!
It is so hard to believe that we are already over 5 years into the Switch's lifespan and
this thing just continues to thrive with new releases, not only on the game front but also
on the accessory front.
Over the years, I've come to learn that you don't need a ton of accessories to enjoy gaming
on your Switch but having some around definitely enhances the experience.
From protecting your console to keeping it powered up to discovering new ways to play.
So without further ado, let's jump right into this list!
So first up is an amfilm tempered glass screen protector.
Amfilm makes some of my favorite screen protectors.
They are cheap, reliable, easy to install and they last.
I use them on all of my devices from iPhone to iPad to my OLED Switch to my Switch Lite.
I bought a pack of these prior to the launch of the original Switch in 2017 and it's still
going strong.
So I can say from experience that these things hold up for years.
Next up is the official Nintendo Switch Lite Flip Cover.
The Flip Cover is a case that I have been recommending for the Switch Lite since it
came out.
It keeps the Lite true to its roots of being a compact, lightweight, portable console.
Not to mention, it feels great in your hands too with that fabric finish.
Pair the Flip Cover with an amfilm screen protector and that's really all you need to
comfortably protect your Switch Lite.
The Flip Cover is one of those things I wish would make it's way to the regular Switch
and the OLED Switch.
Who knows!
Maybe one day soon.
Next up is a Pokedex Game Card Holder.
I picked this little case up on Amazon a few weeks back and it has been awesome to store
all of my gamecards in one place.
I don't have a very big physical game collection since I'm mostly all digital but this little
pocket sized case is great keep what I do have organized.
Up next on the list here is the Anker PowerCore 13400 Nintendo Switch Edition portable battery.
This little battery may be pricey compared to others but it fast charges the Switch quickly
and it is officially licensed by Nintendo so it will give you some nice piece of mind
knowing that you won't be damaging your precious console.
Continuing on down the list we have another one from Anker, the Anker Nano Pro.
The Nano Pro is a tiny little 20W USB-C wall nub that can safely fast charge a variety
of devices.
I use this thing with my iPhone, iPad and Switch.
It works really well plus it's about half the size of the standard Switch charging brick.
The Nano Pro also has a number of safety features built-in for added peace of mind.
At number 6 here are the Status Audio Between Pro.
Since all Switch models now have the ability to pair with wireless headphones, you have
an unlimited amount of options to choose from to game with now.
One of my personal favorite earbuds are the Status Between Pro.
These are audiophile grade earbuds at a budget price.
They sound great for everything from music to gaming and there's no lag either when you're
playing games with them.
Another benefit is that you can just open the case and they will pair instantly with
your Switch just like AirPods do with your iPhone.
It's great stuff!
Next is the Waterfield Design Switch Pouch.
I've used a ton of different bags over the years to store my Switch gear and nothing
comes close to Waterfield's Pouch here.
Not only is it beautifully designed and handmade but it can also fit a whole lot of Switch
stuff inside.
From the console itself to game cards to the AC adapter, a grip, wrists straps to even
a Pro Controller and more, the Switch Pouch is pricey but it's the only bag that you'll
ever need to store all your Switch gear in one place.
It's well worth it.
Another great accessory idea is the Satisfye Elite Bundle.
Satisfye makes some of my favorite Switch grips out there and the their latest ones
are no exception.
I've used these grips since they were prototypes way back in the day.
They make it much more comfortable to game on your Switch for longer periods of time
when you play in handheld mode.
They kind of give the console that comfy Pro Controller feeling that you cannot beat.
You can get the grip by itself or in the Elite bundle which includes this very nice carrying
case.
It's not going to replace the Waterfield Pouch since it's not quite as spacious but it does
a really good job of storing all of your things especially if you do decide to get that Satisfye
Grip.
Up next at number 9 are Switch Dock Covers.
These dock covers slip over the Switch dock to protect your system from potential scratches
when you dock it and undock it.
I have one of these on all my docks just for some nice peace of mind because you know I'm
very particular about my tech and you never know what could happen.
These things are cheap, reliable and look great too!
Speaking of the dock, some other helpful things I found for it are these anti-slip rubber
feet.
The Switch dock has a tendency to slip around and get tugged by it's wires but these rubber
feet solve that problem.
Just stick 1 of them in each corner underneath the dock and voila!
There's no more slipping and sliding!
If you don't have the OLED Switch with the updated dock and you play online a lot, another
recommendation that I have is the TP-Link USB to Ethernet adapter.
This is cheap little adapter will let you speed up and stabilize your connection when
playing online.
It's multi purpose too so you can use it with your PC, Mac and other devices as well.
Another essential is a microSD card.
The Switch does have some internal storage to download games but it's only enough for
a handful of them at most so a microSD card is a must.
I use the reliable, yet pricey 512GB SanDisk Nintendo Switch Edition microSD card with
each of my systems but there are cheaper options out there with more or less storage that work
just as well.
And last but not least on the list here is the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
There are a ton of Pro Controller alternatives out there but the one that I always find myself
going back to is Nintendo's own Pro Controller.
It's super comfortable to hold in your hands and the battery lasts forever.
There's really not a lot to hate about this controller.
So there you have it my friends!
Those are some of my personal favorite accessories that I use all of the time and that I think
are must haves for your Nintendo Switch.
No matter which model it is that you have.
There are tons of awesome accessories out there for the Switch and this list isn't even
scratching the surface of what's out there.
Accessory hunting can be an overwhelming ordeal but it doesn't have to be so I hope this video
was somewhat helpful and I hope it gave you some good ideas.
As mentioned in the beginning of this video, I really don't think there are too many things
that you need to enjoy what matters most and that's gaming and having fun.
Just protect the console with a screen protector and a case, keep it charged up to keep the
fun going and everything else after that, in my opinion, is pretty much optional.
At the end of the day it's all about having fun.
That's what the Switch is all about!
Anywho, that’s about it for this video my friends!!
