If you're one of the lucky ones who managed to get your hands on a Switch 2 (or have plans to snag one before the impending price hikes in September), congrats. Nearly every Nintendo Switch 2 review sings the console's praises, highlighting its beautifully large 7.9-inch display, smoother performance than its predecessor, and the upgraded Joy-Con 2 design.

To truly appreciate what a gorgeous, powerful, and versatile console the Switch 2 is, though, you need some accessories. I've tried to cover all the bases here, to give you a good variety of necessary add-ons and ones you might not have considered yet.

Here you'll find accessories to extend the life of your Switch 2, like a carrying case and a screen protector. I threw in a few functional accessories, like an 'Express' microSD card (because the plain old version that worked with the original Switch won't work with the Switch 2) and a power bank to battle its abysmal battery life when you're away from an outlet. Then, some accessories are just for fun. Scroll on to see all 12 of the items I'm adding to my wish list.
