Whether you've just gotten a Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED you want to make sure that you grab a few accessories to go with it. Fortunately, many of these Switch peripherals are on sale for Cyber Monday. Among the most important are protective items that can prevent the gaming system from getting scratched up or damaged.
We'll start off with the accessories that are important for all three gaming systems before diving into accessories you're going to want to get specifically of Switch, then Switch OLED, and finally Switch Lite. Here are all of the most important and most essential Switch accessories to get.
Nintendo Switch accessories to consider
These accessories are very important regardless of which Switch gaming system you have.
Nintendo Switch Accessories
Nintendo Switch has been one of the most popular gaming systems for the last five years with a large library of the best Nintendo Switch games that just continues to grow. Here are the most important accessories for anyone that has just acquired one.
Nintendo Switch OLED accessories
The Switch OLED is the largest Switch system yet and features a bigger OLED display that makes game visuals come through a whole lot better. Plus, it offers double the internal storage space of a Switch or Switch Lite, but it's still only enough hold about six games-worth of data.
Nintendo Switch Lite accessories
The Switch Lite is a handheld-only gaming system and the smallest Switch that Nintendo has released. Since it doesn't have the ability to connect to a TV nor rumble and motion controls, it's also the least expensive one. Here are the most important accessories for Switch Lite.
Necessary Switch gear
Regardless of which Nintendo Switch you purchase, you're going to want to make sure that you grab a few accessories as well. Since each of these systems is relatively costly, you at least want to protect them with a screen protector and carrying case. There are plenty of screen protectors on the market, but our top pick is the iVoler Tempered Glass screen protector as it works well for each Switch model and comes in multi-packs in case you need extras.
As far as carrying cases go, you always want ones that have a convenient handle for toting around on the go. Plus, having some storage room inside for extra accessories like earbuds, extra Joy-Cons, and game cartridges is important. You can't go wrong when choosing a Switch carrying case from PowerA, Fintie, or ButterFox.
Of course, if you specifically envision the Switch or Switch OLED getting used as a multiplayer gaming station for split-screen or couch co-op then you'll want to get additional controllers to go around. Remember that many Switch multiplayer games can support up to four players from one device and some can go as high as eight from one Switch. So in addition to having controllers, you'll want a way to charge them as well.
