You pick up something like this
That is not the same grip. That looks like a third party grip.
The left one looks like this third party grip

Man the way you create a room and make parties look and sound really convoluted. I'm not sure what the hell they're thinking. In the Wii U you can just like, party up in game. Why would you want someone to open up the app and then invite people there for friends?
And you can only use the app's features with the screen on AND using the app. I understand that once the app goes out of focus, it should be in the background. At least give us a way to dim the app.
And it turns out the Hori squid headset (I intended to use Hori's website but getting to its Japan products page is near-unaccessible) is actually the optimal way of playing Splatoon 2. Wow.
While I doubt the Switch will have any issues with selling off like hotcakes this app is discouraging people from using their online service in a major way. I'd rather have what they got with the Wii U.
Edit: One major problem here for me. Hong Kong is a launch country for the Switch. But I can't download the app on Google Play because it's disabled for Hong Kong. So is Nintendo looking for people from HK to only play local? What the hell?
And given Nintendo's stance for not installing things "correctly" (sideloading the app, installing the apk) which can possibly lead to a ban, this feels more of a risk than anything.
or instead of approximating, you can hold 24 cards for half the price. With out fear of them slipping out or bouncing around inside.

Good compilation. The only downside is that these don't include any cables so if you don't have the right USB-C charger laying around you're in for another $20 which puts most of these on par with the Nyko dock
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6RMR30/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered that one. It has molded space for triggers.
I got them from Amazon, they have tons of colors and backplates for the switch too
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JDRHV3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Honestly wished you would link what you were talking about since I've never even seen these things before.
Link for everyone else: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-AA-Battery-Pack-switch/dp/B071XXXK2X
You can also use Xbox One and PS4 controllers on the Switch as well. I personally use an Xbox One Elite controller for BotW
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073ZFPJLQ/
I bought this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073ZFPJLQ?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2
It works well, but no vibration. You can get two for the price of one controller.
This is a case by PDP. I have found 3 in this style so far with different designs. Each can hold 14 game carts!
The one above (as part of the starter kit, also sold separately):

And my personal favourite, the BOTW design:

Im trying to find somewhere that I can order the Zelda version in the UK, hit me up if anyone finds somewhere!
EDIT: ARGOS now are selling the Zelda and Mario versions of this case
Zelda (for some reason different colour interior, maybe just lighting?): https://www.argos.co.uk/product/6772844
Mario: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/6784131
EDIT: ARGOS now seem to have removed these cases from stock, leaving my preorder in limbo. The EU Gamestop site has two of them now though
Cartridge cases like this hold so many games it's not really that much of a problem. You would get prime savings and awesome cases as well.
This thread is filled with a ton of good game recommendations, so I'll skip that. One thing I would DEFINITELY recommend getting, however...
An additional set of Joy-Con controllers
Joy-Cons are the standard controller option for the Switch, and the main console comes with one pair. A "pair" of Joy-Cons is actually two small controllers that can be docked onto the sides of the console, docked onto a controller accessory (which will also be included with your Switch), or held separately - one in each hand. Technically, one "set" of Joy-Cons is enough to play most games without much limit, but a second set would make everything a LOT more comfortable for your kids, and would even open up the possibility of playing 4-player games with them and your husband.
There are other controller options, but I wouldn't worry about them at first. Joy-Cons should be more than sufficient for the younglings.
This is one of the best small hard cases that is not covered in tacky crap and available to Americans. Brits and Australians are getting all the good medium sized cases so I went with that ಥ_ಥ.
This is the one I really want.
They already did. https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1487495827&sr=1-5&keywords=hori+switch+case
If you can wait around a month, Nyko's dock releases on Oct 31
Rather than wait or go for a third party dongle, I moved the components from the official dock into a more compact housing.
These are some accessories that I have been happily using...

I think this does what you want
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
Amazon has matched the price.
I’ve been using this for about six months, and it’s amazing.
Amazon also has this on preorder. I ordered from there instead of Lamestop. I'd rather give my business to a better company.
This is another option as well. It's a little cheaper. I bought it to use my Xbox One Elite controller with the Switch.
I'm thinking of going with this one.
HORI Tough Pouch (Black) for Nintendo Switch Officially Licensed by Nintendo
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3-NIybJANZ63V
As a grown up who'll be taking this on my commuter rail every day, plain black tough case all the way. The BotW case is really cool though.
My grip with the joy-con gripes.
Jokes aside, you can buy the official grips direct from Nintendo's website. These are the same ones in the switch box and have the logo on them:
https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/po/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?categoryNav=true&navAction=jump&navCount=0&atg.multisite.remap=false&productId=prod840605&categoryId=cat831381
Otherwise, there are of course the 3rd party licensed ones that look almost like the original grip; they're opaque but don't have the logo, use plastic rails, and the grip is slightly different:
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Comfort-Grip-Black/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1496598616&sr=8-3&keywords=switch%2Bgrip&th=1
If you have money to spare, there's nothing classier than a Waterfield CitySlicker.
I have one of these cheap HORI ones, it's great :P
First of all: Screen Protector. Once it's on you never notice it, doesn't hurt to get that extra safety!
I've bought 10 games so far, and I'd say get all of these because I have enjoyed them. BOTW, Splatoon 2, Sonic Mania, Rayman Legends, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (assuming you like DBZ,) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokken Tournament DX, Street Fighter 2 Ultra, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Yooka Laylee.
If I had to pick 3 for you to get to start out then I would pick Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I think that's enough variety to keep you busy for awhile.
A carrying is always a good thing, I'd recommend This case because it's the one I use and does its job.
Accessory wise I have joycon grips which are AMAZING when playing with one joycon.
Also, the grip it comes with is trash. Get the Power A Grip it feels A LOT better in your hands.
As for SD Cards, it depends. I have a 32GB SD card. I mainly buy physical games, The extra space is for screenshots and videos, and download only games, like Sonic Mania, Yooka Laylee, etc. If you're going for digital only then get a 256GB. Sure you won't use a ton of space now, but you might a few years down the line. Also, do NOT get the official Nintendo ones. They are a RIP-OFF! Here are some nice alternatives that will get the job done for A LOT cheaper: 32 GB 64 GB 128 GB and finally 256 GB
If you have any other questions feel free to ask OP, and other (potential) switch owners!
Quick edit: sorry that some links won't be put with the text, no idea what the issue is
Are you going to lay it flat on a table in front of you? There's no stand to keep it upright. You'll be hunched over the screen just so you can see.
I mean, you do you, but if ergonomics are the issue, you're much better off buying an asymmetrical grip.
I am a paraplegic and get the exact same pain with handhelds. Grips have been a lifesaver! I tried skull & co.'s kickstarter grip and a cheap rubber one off Amazon before sticking with Satisfye's Switch grip. I have big hands and it was the only one large enough to comfortably play with. Edit: They JUST launched all new products but I have their OG Switch grip.
I have other branded grips for my N3DS XL and Vita, but forget what they are (I think they're Japanese brands I found on Amazon), and they're comfortable and work great.
I suggest buying a handful off Amazon to try out and then keep the one that works. They're all made slightly differently so you wont really know until you have them in your "grip" :-) .
Good luck!
Edit: I found the exact grips in my Amazon purchase history (all from Amazon and I live in the states).

BASSTOP has decent diy joycon and switch shells

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JDRHV3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also you can buy a $15 Hori joycon that has a D-pad so that benefit is out.
I think the one in the OP looks way better. But taste is subjective.
I think Hori's is better than the official one;
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=sr_1_31?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1484442548&sr=1-31&keywords=nintendo+switch
For me, I plan on getting:
After Launch:(I already have these on pre-order through Amazon, 20% off!)
I'm also a backer for Yooka-Laylee, so I'll get that whenever they release a Switch version.
I was contemplating going all-digital but then I found out about the Amazon Prime discount. On my games, I saved $55.07 by just buying the physical copy.
You really gotta wonder how Amazon makes any money on Prime subscriptions... I order items all the time that are below the normal free shipping amount...
Was disappointed in PowerA's Hybrid Cover, then I just found this.
Able to charge in tabletop mode, and seems to be able to play in handheld mode without the flap dangling around. Finally a hybrid cover done right?
Same with me. I tried several different grips and not many of them helped except for this one. It actually works pretty great. It changes the angle of the right side so your thumb lays across the joystick more comfortably.
PSA: Mayflash makes a clone adapter that works on Wii U, PC, and Switch just as perfectly as the official one and can be found easily on Amazon for under $20. https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE
EDIT SECONDARY PSA: 8BitDo also makes a wireless 1-port adapter for switch and PC that allows you to connect a single controller to your Switch wirelessly, in tabletop, handheld, or docked mode. https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Adapter-Nintendo-GameCube-Classic-Controllers/dp/B07JLF9PVG
https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Portable-Docking-Kit-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B071X7C1B4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504216474&sr=8-1&keywords=nyko+dock
With this you can use a PlayStation 4/3 or Xbox 360/one cord wired. I just ordered one from Amazon and got it the other day it works pretty good.
I bought one of these and it works surprisingly well.
I think there are also a couple other companies that make a similar product.
Get the Hori D-Pad left joy-con knock off. One of these. It doesn't have a battery and doesn't really draw any, so it'll work well for your handheld-only type deal. I got mine at the local GameStop like an idiot, though... for $15 it's worth it.
Edit: Pokemon or LoZ either are $20.
As a very petite female, I envy your pocket carrying abilities. I carry mine in a Jibanyan pouch that hooks onto one of my belt loops. I get asked about Yokai Watch by a lot of people curious about the game and always tell them how much fun it is, Nintendo or Level 5 should pay me for my PR work 😂 I can't wait for the Switch, though! My 3DS is also carried in a HORI case and I'm getting one for the Switch, too: https://www.amazon.com/Tough-Pouch-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01MR63I6F
well, when I put my switch in my case the right way - sticks up - (the official nintendo one https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-Screen-Protector/dp/B01N226BBW/) there is zero stress on the joy con sticks. I imagine when you put it in this one the flap will be pressing down on them when you transport it in your bag
Some recommended Switch accessories:
Thanks OP for letting us know where to find it!
Definitely a Screen Protector
A Travelling Case would be nice.
I also added Dr Scholls Moleskin to the front of my dock to reduce the risk of scratching the screen protector. (Two small strips on the parts inside the dock that are raised.)
A Memory Card also helps for the digital only games.
What color Switch did you get? I got the grey switch then bought a pair of Red Joycons and another pair of Blue Joycons. So in total I have a grey, red, and blue L Joycon and a grey, red, and blue R Joycon.
If you got the grey switch and then buy the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) then you won't be able to get one of each color for L/R without over paying. This is because the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) are always Red L and Blue R.
If you bought a neon switch, then buy the [two color Joycon pack] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) and a pair of Grey Joycons for all combinations.
Also, don't buy Joycons on Amazon, they are stupid expensive right now.
I don't have a pro controller yet, but people seem to love it.
Games:
Zelda = Must Buy
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe = Must Buy
1-2 Switch = Great for parties/friends
Snipperclips = Great for people who don't play games often (girlfriends/parents/kids). Secret here is to not explain how to play/what to do and let them have fun and try to figure out the puzzles on their own. Act like a support character and you'll have a blast watching them.
Binding of Isaac = I love this game, but put countless hours on the PC version. Mature themes
Super Bomberman R = Classic mode with easy CPUs is fun for roommates. I haven't played through the adventure mode yet.
Wonderboy = Cute/Fun side scroller.
Has Been Heroes = I don't have this yet, apparently very difficult.
Other notes:
I started collecting amiibos after getting a switch (Be very careful, it's easy to get addicted and drop a ton of money here).
I got a Joycon charging dock since the only way to charge extra pairs of Joycons without the Joycon charging dockis to rotate them in and out of the switch while it charges/docked.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
PS I love the Switch so much. It's definitely my favorite console ever.
Purists will hate this suggestion (and the controller is far from perfect) but the PowerA Wireless GameCube Controller is the best third party controller I have used. Better than the Hori Battlepad and WAY better than the PDP Fight Pad Pro.
NB: You’re never going to get the same quality or feel of a first party controller going this route and you will definitely be more prone to dropped inputs, etc. But especially if you’re looking for a casual option that delivers a decent wireless experience with the GameCube form factor (plus home and share buttons) IMO, this is the best option.
The Sheikah case from the Special Edition, but i am really REALLY interested in the one from Surge.
Edit: Guess we are needing links https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carry-All-Case/dp/B01N6RMR30/
Looks similar to the Surge case that is popular here.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carry-All-Case/dp/B01N6RMR30
I may switch to this case, actually. Thanks, OP.
You cannot save copies of physical games to the Nintendo Switch. You can either go digital or get a carrying case that has game storage in it, like this one.
As someone else pointed out, there are contacts at the inside bottom of the rails for charging.
I actually picked up the battery grip for my main joycons, it has two AA batteries in each joycon and brings battery life from 20 hours up to about 200 hours and when they die I just have to toss some new AA batteries in instead of waiting for them to charge back up. It also adds much needed bulk and rubber grips which I find far more comfortable than the naked joycons.
I suggest the Joy Con Battery Pack. You don't even need to put batteries if you don't want to, the extra girth from the grips alone is amazing.

Nintendo Switch Carry-All Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6RMR30/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XJnOybDGMBJ3K
I meant something like this that would save space in their bag when traveling.
I think it is sold out everywhere. In the meantime I found this similar adapter from Nyko, but it will be released in October: https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Portable-Docking-Kit-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B071X7C1B4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499327770&sr=8-1&keywords=743840872252
I wouldn't do it. The last time I backed a kickstarter in China promising something relatively simple I still got burned.
Apparently Nyko will be releasing a travel dock for about $50
There are several out there now and they all seem to work fine. Amazon has many listed. I own this one and it works as advertised. The Nyko one comes with an HDMI and Power Cable so its a good deal. Put the link to the Nyko one below the one I have. https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch-Converter/dp/B074MYLP9C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1505917683&sr=8-4&keywords=Switch+HDMI+Adapter

SS Link and P2 Corrin are Amazon exclusives. Nobody knows where MM Link and P2 Bayonetta are going to yet.
If you don’t want to paint the joy-cons yourself you can always go to Amazon and purchase pre-painted shells. You can get transparent ones, matte white (like in the picture) and plenty of other colours.
https://www.amazon.com/BASSTOP-Replacement-Controller-Electronics-Joycon-Atomic/dp/B075JDRHV3
personally i went with the white ones with the dpad and kept the original black buttons on the right joycon.

sorry i should have been more CLEAR (lol sorry had to). i was referring to these atomic purple joycon shells
As I thought, they are licensed by Nintendo, but made by Hori.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DOIJILW3WZKV&keywords=zelda%2Bjoycon&qid=1569302829&s=gateway&sprefix=zelda%2Bjoy%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-1&th=1
Personally, for me, I believe that the best case is the Sheikah Slate that comes with BotW SE. EB and Best Buy both said that they will have it, so be on the look out for them, cuz amazon is out.
The same case, with different designs, is made by PDP. You can get them via these links: 1, 2, 3, 4.
This one is quite close to the Sheikah Slate as well, but it doesn't ship to where I am, so I'm not sure it would ship to you.
PDP also has this amazing looking soft canvas cases if you're interested: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
You could also go with Hori hard case, which is ugly af, but looks extremely sturdy. But then the actual case from Nintendo (it's not available yet, just wait for it I guess?) is quite close to the Hori one as well, I guess.
I'm throwing all those links at you, because, I have NO idea who Biogenik are and a quick Google doesn't result in anything positive about them.
As for screen protector, for me generally, any film protector would make the screen look worse. They are also a lot more likely to get scratches than the screen alone. I'd recommend a tempered glass screen protector if you get one at all. Here are some, one from Orzly, and one from CaseBase. Orzly seems like the better choice since you get 2, and their other tempered glass protectors are very highly rated.
Hori Hard Case - Amazon
A Switch Pro controller is $70, Xbox controllers are normally $60 and require batteries or a $25 Play n Charge kit. The battery life on PS4 controllers is not great in my experience and the cord is like 3 feet long.
Nintendo controllers have great battery life, an NFC reader for amiibo, and motion controls. The $80 price tag for joy cons seems high, but it's essentially 2 separate controllers with a lot of stuff in them.
The $30 grip is not the same as what comes in the console, it also charges the controllers. The one that comes with the console is like $7
I complained about Switch accessory pricing when I first saw it too, but it's really not that bad.
Does there happen to be any pictures of the interior of the Official Switch Carrying Case floating around?
I've been going overboard with accessories. Here's what I picked up so far:
Glass screen protector - Just in case.
128GB microSD card - I rarely buy physical games
Pro Controller - I love it. So comfortable.
PowerA Hybrid Case - I basically use this as a stand for my Switch when I'm on the go.
JDeal portable dock - It works. Make sure to follow the instructions. Works with my Nexus5x 5v 3A portable charger.
[Retractable HDMI cable] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019J96PSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Hestia case - The Switch with the PowerA Hybrid Case, portable dock, portable USB-C charger, and retractable HDMI cable all fit in this.
USB 3.0 LAN Adapter - Faster speeds when on the official dock.
Gooseneck tablet holder - Ultimate comfort. Play while in bed.
Magic NS Wireless Adapter - I had originally bought this so I could use my PS4 controller. This was before I picked up the Pro Controller. It works. There was a recent firmware update that gives gyro support for PS4 controllers and it works well with Splatoon 2.
On the way:
Mumba case - For better comfort/protection while playing in handheld mode.

the PowerA Gamecube imitation pro controllers have octagonal notches. They come in wired and wireless, and based on the research I've done they seem really highly regarded.
That's really all it would need, though. Effectively just make it wireless and throw on a ZL button. Maybe adjust the C-stick a bit. I think that's safely within modern furnishes.
That's why I pre-ordered four of these, but I wouldn't mind a version with rechargeable batteries... and I'm not entirely sure if it has any sort of rumble or not.
The Joy-Cons are now available for pre-order on Amazon.

I have two Hori Game Cases that store 24 games, or so. I had all my games in one of them, then I started buying games enough to fill the second one. By the time I filled the second one, I said screw it, and started putting all my games back in their original game cases. It's too much money invested to have them all in these storage cases that are easily stealable. I don't travel heavy with my Switch, but if I do, I just put a few games in one of my Hori Game Cases for the trip itself and I'm good to go. But travelling with / storing ALL my physical games? Not my thing anymore. I have a lot of RPGs I'd like to keep in good condition, not get stolen, as well. :)
Here's what I used: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z/

Thank you! I really like how it looks. It was custom shells that I bought off Amazon. And then you need to disassemble the joycons and put them back together again using the new shell haha. It's a huge pain in the butt, but it was worth the effort!
This is what I bought

And I referenced this video more than a few times while I was doing them

I'm currently using this case here! It protects the joycons really well and also has 10 slots for cartridges if you own physical games.
TomToc Slim Hard Case bro
You will get many different opinions on cases.
Myself I like thin cases and not bulky buy yet it protects when I throw it in my backpack. So Tomtoc has been my case since day one.
Note-they have redesigned it to fix the nuances from some reviews. Gray is great color

Not sure but this is PDP's Switch "case" (also on BotW version) and, by the looks of it, it's just a semi rigid pouch.
I'm probably getting this one once I can see it in person or a nice review; it looks like it will have some kind of foam (as shoulder buttons would tilt the switch and yet it seems to be in a horizontal position) and I think it's made by the same company as a pretty similar looking NES mini case.
I got the official Nintendo one, but I might switch it out for something sturdier. I like hard-shell with glass screen protector.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N22YBVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9o4jDbY9T61AX
it is, and it's wonderful. If you're concerned about the kickstand, there is a cover that you can purchase that is really good quality, and you don't have to take the cover off to charge it (you will have to remove it to dock though)...

I was able to find it at GameStop if you can't wait for Amazon shipping.
This is the screen protector that I got. Looks great, feels great, works great. And it’s a super cheap investment to keep that screen looking amazing. I had the plastic film one on my switch ( it came with my hybrid cover ) it was ok for a little while but definitely got scuffed up quick and didn’t feel nearly as good as the glass ones.
It's the absurd Nintendo-way to mix game audio and voice chat: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
Looks like you cannot get the adapter without the headset..!
This is Nintendo's answer to the chat + game audio problem, using their official Splatoon 2 headset. (Amazon.com link)
Nintendo hasn't mentioned anything about other retro consoles yet.
Hori literally did that :https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE
Well again, I'm not wound up about it, but literally every version of these games that has been re-released (even Wii/Wii U VC) has either Y and B inputs or button remapping, so it's a weird defense to make. Also I'm not sure why someone wouldn't use a pro controller if they have one, ESPECIALLY when I'm playing 2D games on the TV because the joycons have no d-pad to speak of. I even got this so I could have a real d-pad in handheld mode rather than those insane buttons. But again, that's me and I'm not saying everyone has to do it the same, just a bit weird that you're confused by using pro controllers (which I'm not sure even came up in this thread). My question would be why use a single joycon for a game with no analog controls? Why would I want to play NES games (or even modern 2D platformers) with a joycon control stick?
Again, nothing wrong with X and A but there are pretty obvious benefits to using dual joy cons or pro controller over a sideways joycon (which I personally view as the ultimate last resort for multiplayer games).
I'm using the tough pouch by Hori, I really like it. Protects my switch well, I also throw in my wrist straps and a few games. Doesn't have any funky smell to it like a lot of the other 3rd party cases do. I picked mine up at Toys R Us, it's also available at Amazon.

GameCube controllers exist that don't require the adapter.
​
https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo-Switch-GameCube/dp/B07GXLBCC3
Besides the Panda Global adapter, you could try one of the following:
8bitdo G Bros. Wireless Adapter. Lets you use the original GC controller, but it'll be wireless so there'll be a slight increase in input delay. Not sure if it's noticeable but I doubt it, should be like any other wireless controller.
Get a USB C to USB A adapter and plug the original GC adapter in it. A bit more of a mess than the Panda Global adapter but this works just fine. You'd have to get some kind of stand like this if you want to have the Switch standing up, since the USB C adapter is gonna prevent you from using the Switch kickstand.
I wanted the official nintendo one with the screen protector but it's sold out on Amazon. Decided to pick up this hard shell one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6RMR30
I'm going with the Nintendo Switch Carry-All Case by Surge.
Here's why I like it:
All that seemed pretty good to me so I'm going to give it a shot.
Links for all the items I got for your reference:
Screen Protector

Get these: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-AA-Battery-Pack-switch/dp/B071XXXK2X
Ignore the fact that it's a battery charger, these feel great to hold when playing with split Joy-Cons. Gives it that extra size making it easier to grip your hand over.
If you can try going to a GameStop or something, they likely have this on clearance for around $10 or less.
Try this link, OPs link currently leads to a scalper listing, FYI.

Here is an adapter. Your controller has to have a wired connection with this one and I think you have to map the Elite by first plugging it into a PC and using the Elite App. But, from what I've seen it should work well and could even potentially be used with a USB-C adapter to work in tabletop mode. I think MayFlash makes one that supports a wireless controller connection but I haven't looked into it as much.
I purchased the Joycon shells right from Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075JDRHV3/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They have lots of different colors to choose from. The Joycons are a bit of work and I wouldn't recommend the job for a beginner. This took kit came in extremely handy and definitely watch a how-to video;

Joy-cons are dropping in price recently and you can get them used if you want them even cheaper. And honestly... most people don't care about 1-2-Switch, and can live without Super Mario Party. Those are the only games I can think of that require joy-con play. I doubt more will be announced with the advent of the Lite.

I would definitely get a screen protector, I recommend the AmFilm Matte this protector reduces the glare and makes the system much better in a car or outside.
Also a carrying case. I went with this Surge case it's a good quality case that holds the system with the Joy-cons, 8 games and has a pouch for earbuds or a cable.
I also have a RavPower 26800 portable charger. This one is available for $64 and charges the system very well and is by far the highest capacity for the price.
I would definitely also get a microSD card you can get 64Gb for about $20 and 128 GB for $40. If you plan on going fully digital I would suggest a 200 or 256 gb card but they cost significantly more.
Nah, it’s this one:
HORI Game Card Case 24 for Nintendo Switch Officially Licensed by Nintendo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ofJbAbHPZ6YPE
I have the RDS Deluxe case, and really like it! I work at a library and occasionally bring the entire system in for a program, and it comfortably holds the tablet with joycons attached, dock, pro controller, AC brick and HDMI cables... I can fit the joycon grip in one of the slightly curved slots in the top left and right (I usually tuck the AC brick in the other).
There's also enough space that I can bring along, without worry, a second set of joycons, all four joycon straps, and a Hori game case. I just tuck these things in and between the Switch itself and the dock. I face the Switch screen towards the front of the case, and while I do have a screen protector on it, nothing has ever gotten scratched -- with the case zipper shut, it holds everything snugly enough. I'm not sure where you live, but I was able to pick one up at Target in the US (Oregon), and it was nice not to have to wait on shipping.
That being said, the reviews that mention it having kind of a weird smell are totally true. I left it open and airing for a day or two before use and it doesn't bother me/I don't notice it anymore.
Hey guys!! This is awesome to hear my buddy is not the only person who would love to have something like this!!!
I'm somewhat new to the 3d printing and designing, but if your guys have this Hori case:
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z
The design I made fits one of the 2 pieces of plastic that holds up to 12 game cards.
It's nice, when you don't want to risk loosing all your games when you want to take half of them on a quick road trip.
Also I was going to publish this design to my thingiverse so anyone with a 3d printer can print this out whenever :).
If anyone does want one, I would love to start producing these for people. It would be a dream to turn my designs and prints into a business at some point in time. Otherwise I'm just happy to hear that others like how it looks and would like one as well.
Not shitting on this, but in the album you say other options are bulky and don't provide the same density.

https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Portable-Docking-Kit-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B071X7C1B4/
What is the current situation for Switch travel docks? The last I heard, the first commercially available travel dock will be available by Nyko starting October 31st.
Are there any other docks that are now/will be available that are worth checking out?
Idk if this helps your investigation, but when my switch bricked, it still worked but it didn’t connect to the dock (original or 3rd party) I was however able to charge it using my pro controller usb (or any usb c I’d assume) connected to my computer. I was not able to transfer my saves as I needed to be connected to a AC adapter but Nintendo was able to successfully transfer my saves to a refurbished unit.
When I connected the switch to a 1st party dock, it would charge for half a second and disconnect leaving a blinking green light on the dock until I removed power to it. There was no video signal at all to my tv but everything still worked in handheld mode
Here is the dock my Switch was connected to when it was bricked
Here is a video I made of the issue
And here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-AA-Battery-Pack-switch/dp/B071XXXK2X
I see it as listed at that price, no need to add to cart.
So these?
I have them and use them for Arms. Makes things feel comfortable and I like the added weight if you put batteries in them.
Maybe try these?
Makes the joycon chunkier AND increases battery life.
You should get the Joycon battery pack add on from Nintendo and it will make your Joycons much bigger.
I know that sounds like an internet spam ad for something else.
It is currently $15 on Amazon.

Switch AA battery pack
I bought three more volumes of Tokyo Ghoul, and bought the Female Corrin Amiibo. It wasn't in any of stores in my area so I had to order it on Amazon. Hilariously enough, the Female Corrin Amiibo is $94.94, but the Female Kamui Amiibo is only $38.00. I don't give a shit if the package is in Japanese, the amiibo itself is the same. Getting it in store for $15.00 would've been best, but I'm not about to complain given how annoying it is to pick these up. I'll pick up Male Corrin at one point or another, just not immediately (oh, and there's only $1.00 price difference between Male Corrin and Male Kamui, why I don't know).
I am also in the midst of downloading Civilization VI. The Digital Deluxe edition was on sale for 40% off, $62.99 altogether which is far better than $104.99. For comparison, the regular version is normally $79.99 and was 33% off for $53.59, and the five currently released DLC as a total price of $31.95. I imagine a complete edition with expansions and stuff would be dirt cheap a couple years from now, but eh, whatever.
So yeah, solid day overall.

Yes it's true and you need a adapter. I use thisone to play with a xbox 360 controller and a logitech F710 and its work perfectly. Its plug and play. I know there is other adapter too but never try them.
https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
Never mind checked Google and found this. Says it works for PS 3 & 4 controllers https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
I got the fastsnail one on Amazon. And it has worked wonders for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZFPJLQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
If you're talking about this, then yeah I already saw it. However, I was hoping to do something wireless, as well as I'm kinda curious how to go about it myself as a project, I guess. Just looking to see if there were any resources to pour over.
amazon has some adapters available that plug straight in to the dock usb port. They also make a USB2.0 to USB-C dongle to plug in to the handheld unit but idk why you'd ever want to do that. The main advantages of an xbox controller compared to switch is that switch triggers are binary, where as xbox triggers are analog. This gives you more throttle control.
I just got this I posted the link below it's only $17, and let's me use my Xbox one controller with my switch. It works perfectly and just saved me a lot of money than to buy another controller since I have three Xbox one controllers already. It works with PS4 controllers as well if you have one.

Thank you! I purchased the blue/red switch and then when the pink/green joy cons came out I bought those and then replaced the red one with the green one. I also took the two extra joy cons and bought these and got myself some cool clear purple ones for the nostalgia of the clear purple game boy I had when I was a kid. It also gives the joy con a d-pad so that's a big plus for platformers.
Atomic Purple is the color you're thinking of
https://www.amazon.com/BASSTOP-Replacement-Controller-Electronics-Joycon-Atomic/dp/B075JDRHV3

There is the official Splatoon headset:
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
Even if you don't use the headset the mixer could be what you want.
There is another solution I found with previous searches, but I just can't find it again.
Have you tried Amazon? I preordered mine the same time splatoon 2 went back up for preorder on the website. Try this link: HORI Nintendo Switch Splatoon 2 Splat & Chat Headset
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0PVN5A/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_OvyCzbZGEY0RP
Here is the link 29.99 US dollars , I doubt Nintendo would allow them to be offically licensed and only sell it in Japan, but I also doubt any retailers will stock it right now as it doesnt offically release until the 21st but who knows Amazon may be your best bet
I use AirPods and have had a pretty good experience. I’m sure it would sound better if I used my Hyper X Clouds that I use for Xbox and PC gaming but then I can’t hear TV audio. You need a mixer for that.
First, Third and Fourth- I take it you've really haven't had a Nintendo console for a long time.
Nintendo is trapped in another decade when it comes to online, and it really shows with the Online service and onboard NIC card. When it comes to the price of first party games; welcome to a nintendo console: Anything with a first party Nintendo character will rarely price drop but they're usually worth it with Nintendo being one of the few devs to sit as high as they do on metacritic for as long as they have.
> Yeah I know there are some good games for this thing, but the system experience outside of that is really sub par.
That's the whole point really. The video game console plays really good video games. Pick up Fire Emblem if you enjoy a tactics game/Persona's social system or Mario Odyssey if you enjoyed Sunshine on the gamecube days or Bayonetta 1&2 or Smash. Or start trying indie games, my Switch for a really long time was a glorified Binding of Isaac machine after Breath of the Wild until the library expanded as large as it did
As for your second point it's really your preference, I got large hands and the switch feels fine in portable mode. Used to have a Vita and it was a nightmare. If you hate the Joycon dpad so much then I recommend Hori Dpad Joycon (But to be clear it does not work wireless nor vibrate. Friend of mine loves the dpad on it though) for handheld play and a Pro controller for docked, the pro controller for me is on par for comfort with an Xbox one controller, never beena fan of Dualshocks.
Like this?
I just find it nice to have the Netflix style catalog rather than a-la-carte. I bought a lot of NES games on my Wii & Wii U, but still only a fraction of those available.
HORI is probably the best option.
If you have big hands, these could be interesting to you: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Machina-Ergonomic-Controller-Handheld/dp/B07T5QKKVP/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=hori+switch+controller&qid=1571223404&sr=8-3
Then there's the L Controllers, but they're only available for the left side: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=hori%2Bswitch%2Bcontroller&qid=1571223404&sr=8-5&th=1
There are no games that won’t work on a Switch Lite at all, only a couple that would require you to use joycons. Since the Switch Lite has built in controls and doesn’t come with a set of joycons, that means for these games, you’d need to have purchased or otherwise acquired a set of joycons, separately. Remember: the Switch is compatible with all Switch wireless controllers. It’s also compatible with all Switch USB controllers, if you get a sold-separately charging stand that has a USB port(s). The only controllers that won’t work (presumably ever) with the Lite are “attach-only” controllers that must be slid onto the Switch’s side rails to work (no wireless option). The only controllers I’m aware of that do that are third party ones like this and this (both by Hori).
Thus, you can add support for any game, if it’s ever critical. The only major thing you absolutely cannot do, is video out.
That out of the way, the games I’m aware of that require joycons and won’t work out of the box with the Lite, are:
Another exception would be the Nintendo LABO kits. All the software would work, but these kits all involve custom cutouts that are sized to hold the Switch with its joycons off. Of course, it’s cardboard, so you could presumably figure out a workaround with enough tape and scissors.
I got this hori case

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MR63I6F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My Switch also has this crack. I noticed it about a week ago now, and I wanted to make a post on this subreddit, but I knew that I would receive a swarm of downvotes, and people telling me I dropped it, when I know that I did not. I keep my Switch in this case when it's not in the dock or in my hands. I have babied this thing, as I worked hard to get it.
I'm putting together an album of images on imgur here of people suffering from cracks in the same area, and other areas on the backplate of the Switch. I have asked some people for images that reported having the problem, but did not post an image. If you'd like me to add yours to the album, PM me. This might end up being useful to have in the future.
In regards to people claiming that this is not a manufacturing issue, and that this must be coming from physical damage, I think the imgur album speaks for itself. I highly doubt all of these people are lying and all dropped their consoles, and they are getting cracked in the exact same spot over and over again.
My main worry is that Nintendo screwed the pooch on this one, and in order to hit the price point they needed, they cheaped out on the materials for the outer casing of the console. I think that if we can get one of the gaming sites who got a review unit of the Switch to notice that theirs has a crack in it without having taken any physical trauma, we might have something to go on in regards to some people saying that Nintendo will not repair their unit.
I'm getting the Hori case and the only tempered glass protectors I could find
The screen protector won't arrive at launch, so I'll just be extra careful for a while.
It's definitely function over aesthetics with the Pro Controller. They don't look like much, but they are extremely sturdy. If it really bothers you/your kids you can get canvas stickers made for the Pro Controller to decorate them. Just be aware that using the controller will probably cause the designs to fade where the hand holds the controller. Then you either slap a new one over it, or remove the old one and put a new one down. Probably going to be a sticky residue once brought up, however, so it's not likely something you can change you mind on after application.
The Pro controller doesn't fit the hand as well as a Dual Shock 4--Ps4 controller--but it's far more comfortable than using the JoyCons on their "comfort grip" apparatus.
It is a bit pricey, but I personally stay away from third party controllers because of generally poor experiences in the past. I find the money you save isn't really worth potential problems with an off brand controller.
There's a third party that made plain plastic ones: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Comfort-Grip-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01MS7YUA7?th=1
They're not branded, but they are cheaper. They're also pretty expensive for being pieces of plastic, which is why I just ended up buying a charging grip myself. Cheaper ones will probably come pouring out of China soon enough.
Another vote for the Switch here, primarily because of the exclusives. Nintendo makes a lot of kid-friendly games that you'll only see on Switch, like Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc.
Nintendo's online service:
As far as online goes, people can be really mean. This sub has endless examples of women who have been mocked, harrased, and even threatened. For that reason, I would be cautious about online play, or at least avoid chat.
That being said, some games have neat features that require online. For example, Animal Crossing (a game where you build your own town), allows you and your friends to visit each other's towns. As long as online play is limited to real-life friends and kid-friendly games, she should be okay. Nintendo is obsessed with family-friendliness and parental controls -- this page on their website is dedicated to parents and keeping kids safe in gaming, if you'd like to have a read.
To save some money, I would suggest getting the Switch and just one game, with an accesory or two. Or, you can keep the accessories in mind for future birthdays and holidays. Some ideas:
I hope this helps! :)

All are $14.99
I'm half trying and half giving up haha. I really wanted the statue more than the other items that were included. I was lucky to order the Amazon UK version earlier today. If that Master Edition comes in probably lose my shit and buy it in a heartbeat (Amazon you're my only hope) and I already found my back-up Switch case
As I don't know where you are, I'll just show what my amazon has available. Maybe it's also available in your area?
this bag seems decent. Could probably hold two grips or two pro controllers. Definetly room for more joycons, as well as the switch, dock, and some cables. You can even move the dividers.
Otherwise, in the realm of compact just switch:
I originally bought a Bigben case that allows you to stick the screen below (without joycons) and tuck joy cons into a mesh bag on top. There's space for about 4 games, and the usb power brick. Hard plastic. Feels really sturdy. I love it. Except, not great if you to quickly play and quickly put it away. And it's fairly thick. I just want something I can put in my purse and be off.
Eventually I bought the special Zelda case from PDP. No need to take the joycons off before putting it away, quick in and out. And it's also thin, which is really nice. When travelling I can just keep the power cord in my luggage because I don't always have power on the train anyway, and the battery usually lasts fine. But, the case is a little flimly and buttons are probably being pushed.
Now, I'd prefer something hard plastic, like the bigben, but I'd like thinner like PDP.
I went ahead and scrubbed through and am gonna also compile a list of games available for pre-order through Amazon. Eligible for 20% off for Prime subscribers! Some product pages will show as Switch Title [Number] but once in your cart they will display the proper name. Amazon does not charge you until the product is shipped!

Like most people said, getting the Switch and Zelda is just fine. If he buys games physically like I do (easy to trade games I don't like) you won't be needing an SD card.
​
What I would recommend is $20 official Nintendo brand carry case (link) that comes with a screen protector. It fits the portable console and few game cards in a really slim case that is good for bus rides and such. Plastic screen film is enough for the possible wear from repeatedly docking the station

Nintendo Switch Hybrid Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N22YBVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_50iazbP4CRCWF
Install a glass screen protecter. Amazon has some like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9RG3XS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And if your kids will have it in handheld mode a lot, consider something like this case:

The tomtoc case can hold just ten games, but it’s as slim as it gets.

I personally use the Tomtoc slim case, which is similar to the VUP you posted.
​
https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Nintendo-Original-Hardshell-Cartridges-Accessory/dp/B07C3Z8FFC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tomtoc+switch&qid=1551199922&s=gateway&sr=8-3
So, let me get this straight. You are looking for a hard, shock resistant case that snaps on to your Switch, over the screen, when not in use. In theory, something like this slim case, except instead of a padded zippered pouch, it would just be the front part made out of hard plastic on the outside (presumably with a soft silicone interior to absorb) and would snap onto the Switch, covering the screen and controllers. Is this correct?
Because I am pretty sure the thing I described does not exist.
Edit: Would something like this, which does not cover the screen, work?
I have the slim case from tomtoc and really like it, but it only holds switch and 10 games.

best investmade i made other than the switch itself. super comfy, easy to put on/take off.
​
only drawback is that it's clunky to store.
Is this controller going to be quality, based on the company? It seems to be my perfect idea of a controller - GameCube style, but with enough buttons for everything (if the sticks click in, that is).
PowerA's is the only straight up wireless controller in the GCN style. The other new versions are wired. 8BitDo has announced a wireless adapter, but unless you're using it with a Wavebird that's still going to involve wires.
The PowerA Gamecube Controller is basically a Switch Pro Controller (minus rumble and Amiibo scanning) housed in the casing of a Gamecube controller. It's a very faithful recreation of the original, the only difference I've noticed is the addition of the extra buttons.
8bitdo Gbros adapter. I'm using one for that exact purpose. Works great.
Side note: The SNES controller does not have ZL and ZR but the adapter will send that command if you press Start and Select at the same time. So you can still get to the save state menu and rewind despite not having the physical buttons to do so.

I bought this case from tomtoc. It’s a slim profile, fits in my backpack nicely, and has storage for a few carts. It doesn’t have any room to store anything else.
For a day trip or if you don’t mind carrying the cord separately, it’s definitely the one to go with for portability.
I have the tomtoc switch case it’s fairly similar and I love it!

Just picked up a Switch via the Target deal. Need the usual accompaniment.
I'm picking up an amFilm screen protector and would like a case.
I've seen cases from TomToc, Fyoung, and the Orzly pack which seems like a good deal; and just came across this Zadii grip (Satisfye clone?), case, and screen protector that also looks like a good deal.
Any recommendations?
25$ on amazon right now
I agree with you BUT!! I would not recommend the pro controller in OPs configuration. Meaning if you’re in his situation just play handheld. The reason is because when you hold the switch the screen is closer to your face and you feel less like your hunching over a small screen. Pro controller is great on a TV. Not when you use the switch in stand mode. The ideal way for OP to play mobile is if he has a satisfye grip. If you like having neck problems then go ahead play with a pro controller in portable mode.
Not much else i can think of. Been looking into different cases and controllers lately. Maybe the Satisfye grip thing? https://www.amazon.com/Satisfye-Ultimate-Accessories-Comfortable-Ergonomic-Thumbsticks/dp/B07FNJJG5V/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=satisfye+nintendo+switch+grip&qid=1566794496&s=gateway&sprefix=satisfye&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExODA5WlJUVzJCM0g3JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTcxNjQ3MTQ0T0xOVFZZUjJLWCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDI0MTM5MkdQMjFDRTgzQk9ESiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
https://www.amazon.com/Satisfye-Ultimate-Accessories-Comfortable-Ergonomic-Thumbsticks/dp/B07FNJJG5V
Here’s my loadout:
First, I like being able to play in tabletop mode as I like having the joycons removed and separated while I play on the go, I carry the straps (though I removed the strap part so it’s just a way to add extra width to the joycons) and this tablet stand because I do like the normal one.
Next up, I use a portable USB-C charger with a PD port on it. I used to use a third party Switch charger since I’m not using it to dock, but I like having the option to charge my phone as well.
Finally, I use a case to carry everything in. The normal slim ones definitely aren’t enough, so I use one like this that fits everything so I can have everything on the go in a compact space.
TLDR: I keep a tablet stand, joycon straps, and a portable charger in a large case for when I’m on the go with my Switch. None of these are must haves, but I enjoy them all.
P.S.
One ESSENTIAL accessory is a screen protector. I got a small scratch on my bezel from my dock and it still bugs me I didn’t get a screen protector immediately. It baffles me that there’d be a design flaw like that, but it happens.
Finally, a lot of people like the Satisfye grips. While I’ve never found them necessary, a lot of people have. It would also be worth getting the bundle with the carrying case since it wouldn’t fit in a normal one.
Hope this helps or gives you some ideas of what you might want.
Yeah, that's the Grip with the case included. If you just want the grip it's here:
https://www.amazon.com/Satisfye-Ultimate-Comfortable-Ergonomic-Accessories-Thumbsticks/dp/B07FNJJG5V/ref=lp_17886062011_1_1?srs=17886062011&ie=UTF8&qid=1541702798&sr=8-1
Or at their website. I bought the grip from their indiegogo campaign and just got it a few days ago. Its awesome so far.
Well I'd say your best bet would be cutting the bottom of the grip with a Stanley knife. Saves buying another grip and should be pretty easy, it's just soft plastic. Otherwise I've heard good things about this Satisfye grip - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07FNJJG5V/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_vGMRDbG23WWCE and it doesn't seem to obstruct the USB C port at all.
As someone mentioned Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are must haves.
Some I'd recommend would be
Also, although you didn't ask here are some cheap officially licensed controllers I'd recommend for the Nintendo Switch that are 49.99$ and below:
This post got a bit longwinded because I'm a bit passionate on this subject, sorry. The PC gamepad space was a nightmare before Valve singlehandedly fixed it all. It used to be "Buy an Xbox pad or get out." Or as you said, "no other controller compares with it."
So Valve made the other controllers compare with it. Arguably, it's actually become the weakest and most feature-deprived controller these days now that other controllers are allowed to compete with native support across the board, because the only real advantage it had was that every game natively supported it. It has no gyro, no touchpad, and the least amount of usable buttons out of all the major controllers. I'd make an Epic Store comparison, but I have better things to talk about:
Beyond just adding support for every controller under the sun, the amount of control Steam Input gives you is incredible. Anything you could think of, and dozens of things you never thought of and never knew you needed. You can make it so that buttons behave differently based on whatever else is being pressed. A common thing to do is to bind the Back button with various other buttons for things like volume, playlist control, alt tabbing, etc.
If you have a PS4 pad or a Steam Controller (or any future controller that adds touchpads) you can add Touch Menus to them. These are fully customizable:
Example One
Example Two
Example Three
If you don't have a touchpad, you can use Radial Menus instead, which work similarly but with a stick instead of a touchpad.
My personal favorite use is for a Steam Controller which I configured to use the gyro for precise aiming, but have it only enabled while my thumb on the right touchpad so it only moves when I want it to move, and the sensitivity drops if I half-pull my trigger for lining up the shot. It makes using a controller in an FPS actually bearable, even enjoyable at times.
And again: Valve developed all of this as part of the software suite for their own controller, and then just natively supported all other controllers for all features that they're reasonably capable of. The PS4 and Switch Pro controllers can use Gyro, PS4 can use Touchpad, etc. They went out of their way to improve the competition for their own product because it was better for their customers. The end result was that they wanted controllers to be better, they didn't care how we got there.
Hell, at the beginning of this year they randomly added support for PowerA's Gamecube-style Switch Pro controller. It blew my mind, I did not expect them to add official support shortly after release for this obscure third party controller, but they did.
That's why I don't like Epic. Epic would never do any of this. That's why they're not interested in being better, they're not interested in actually competing. They're interested in giving you no other options. You don't have to be better if you're the only choice. That's why I don't value their "competition" at all. We don't need them. We were doing fine until they came along and started screwing everything up.
If you've already got an OTG adapter then any usb controler will work. Here's a PC usb gamecube controller that should work
There's the gamecube controller for the switch, but I don't know if those will work on phone/pc or not.
there are wireless ones for the switch, which means on android they'ge got that wierd terrible input lag so avoid those.
I've found that using the magic-ns adapter plugged into my phone, I can connect joycons or other Switch wireless controllers to my Note8 and play emulator games just fine. I was playing Windwaker with it last week.
This is what I have. It actually runs on two Double A batteries lol. So I guess it'd be easier to disconnect. Just open the back and take the batteries out!
8 bit do sells an adapter that I use in place of my Pro controller and it works great for original Gamecube controllers. It just maps the buttons to either a switch pro style (shoulders are ZL/ZR & Z is R) or GCN (shoulders are L/R & Z is ZR).
This
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Adapter-Nintendo-GameCube-Classic-Controllers/dp/B07JLF9PVG
Here’s a way
I use this, but you need to plug it into a Wii remote as that's how you connect to it. You will need to make sure to update the drivers on this adapter btw. However, if you don't have a Wii remote lying around: There's also this thing too.
Not to mention the home button and everything that comes on the Pro controller and Joycons.
However I think I'm gonna stick with my classic console controllers and my beloved 8Bitdo Gbros.
If you don't have a ton of controllers that need to be connected, or have the money to spend, my brother and I use these wireless adapters and they work great. I've not noticed latency or anything like that if that worries you, but I'm also not a competitive player.
Nah, they’re only for docked mode.
But! this will let you use the controllers outside of docked mode
I preordered this bad boy for this exact reason.
It was available on Amazon Canada's page but it's sold out https://www.amazon.ca/8Bitdo-Wireless-Nintendo-GameCube-Controllers/dp/B07JLF9PVG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543266024&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=8bitdo+wireless+gamecube&dpPl=1&dpID=31tw6lUjizL&ref=plSrch
I believe Amazon U.S. will ship to Canada as well.
You could give this one a try: http://www.8bitdo.com/gbros/
I'm not sure if they are selling them on the UK Amazon site though.
edit: found it!
I love the Pro Controller, but I have heard people complain about the D-Pad. I have never had an issue with mine, but I have not played a lot D-Pad intensive games with it.
I have heard good things about the Power A controllers (both the gamecube style and the pro controller style) but I haven't used them myself. The wired ones can be found for around $25 and the wireless for $40 so they might be a good choice as a second controller if you don't want to spend too much.
I own this Gamecube adapter that lets you connect both GCN and has a Wii Classic Controller socket, which means you can connect the controllers from the mini consoles to the Switch - which I plan to do to play SMM2 levels.
I'm also considering this 8 bit do adapter that lets you connect PS4, Xbox and Wii U Pro controllers to switch, since I really like the WIi U Pro and it's just gathering dust at home.
If you’re looking for a wireless option, 8bitdo has a nice adapter. . I know it says Nintendo Switch, but it’s also windows compatible.
Go with this adapter plus Wii Classic Pro or the SNES Classic controller. I play SMM 1 with a SNES controller and its awesome.
Assuming the input delay isn't bad a wireless GC controller adapter might be for you. I've never owned this product so I can't stand by it's quality but It's worth a shot.
So I found this product recently but haven't opened the box yet. It makes any game cube controller wireless and maintains rumble. Also got some reusable batteries.
I have so many controllers lying around.

Nintendo Switch Hybrid Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N22YBVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OyVezbQ5JS4R1
The stock Nintendo hybrid, grey. Perf for tabletop mode, only a slight pain to remove to use TV since you can slide it off after removing a joycon
I understand there's a few different hybrid cases but they're all the same style
https://www.amazon.com/Hybrid-Cover-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N22YBVY
If you want a protective but not as aesthetic option id recommend a combination of these two things off of amazon

this will get you full button functionality as well as the ability to flip it open and shut. also 3d printing would probably be more expensive unless you have one locally available.
I preordered this cover so I can pocket my switch without worrying about the screen getting scratched. I figure I could just detach the joy cons and put them in a separate pocket.
Amazon has some available

Nintendo Joy-Con (L/R)-Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6QKT7H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_W4JFybENBHFJR
Gray pack is still available if u want it
Are you in the US? Amazon has grey ones right now.
EDIT: They're gone.
amazon grey joycons are currently $72 (free shipping):
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-Con-L-R-Gray/dp/B01N6QKT7H/
Amazon (Shipped and sold by Amazon, themselves) has the Gray joycon set on sale for $66.22 if you're looking to save a few bucks and buy from a legit seller.
Mate I'm sorry to say but I strongly doubt you'll be able to get $90 for the joycons. The case is neat, but you can get brand new joycons on Amazon for 71$, less for the red/blue ones. The color is neat but I'm doubtful anyone would pay a 20$ premium on it. Perhaps if you priced it a bit closer to 70$ you'd have better luck - but even then after fees and shipping you're coming out way lower than you could on Craigslist.
As for the mouse, that's a pretty okay price there. Good luck with the sales.
Yeah...you probably should. I bought one, but haven't put it on yet. I've had it since launch and I haven't had any scratches on it. But I'm extremely careful when putting it in the dock and I have a case for it. I'd say a case is absolutely mandatory if you're going to be using it on the go.
[Here's the link to a good screen protector] (https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Tempered-Screen-Protector-Nintendo/dp/B01N3ASPNV/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495503442&sr=8-3&keywords=screen+protector+switch)

For me the case is just a little too bulky. I don't plan on carrying more than 1-2 games at a time, so a minimalist case that just carries the thing and has a pouch for headphones+charging cable is perfect. I'm still trying to decide between the Surge https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carry-All-Case/dp/B01N6RMR30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487107827&sr=8-1&keywords=Surge+nintendo+switch+case or Insignia case http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-go-case-for-nintendo-switch/5714427.p?skuId=5714427
Personally, I've been looking for a case with three characteristics:
So far, the only case I've found that has all three is the Surge: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carry-All-Case/dp/B01N6RMR30
It also has straps for joycons... so this one gets my vote (granted, it's not super sexy)
Hey friend. I went with a slim case by Surge on Amazon but returned it when I realized I couldn't fit extra jot cons and a battery. If you just want a slim, cool-looking case to carry the switch unit with attached joycons it can't be beat in my mind. It's only 10 bucks and good quality.
Here: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carry-All-Case/dp/B01N6RMR30
I'm getting this one until I can get a nicer themed one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N6RMR30/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I also ordered the Surge case. Its simple, has slots for cards and even a pouch for cables/cords.
Here is a link to it on Amazon. ($12.99+tax&shipping)

Nothing flashy. I have a similar 3ds case that has been great. I always carry it in my hiking backpack.
I found this one the other day when I was doing my own research. I have yet to receive it, but it was my top pick from the giant list found here.
I'm going to see if I can find them, but would you happen to have links to them? Are they the same as the actual game cases with the outer sleeves?
EDIT:
Is this what you were referring to?
I was thinking something more like the old Club Nintendo cases that were actually the same size as the games themselves.

Does this help?
Product dimension 6.2 x 4.8 x 1.2 inches
Might be able to get a good guess based off that
I got the travel case (official) that has room for the dock and got this little case for the games: https://smile.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_3

Screen protector and a case for the switch is the only thing I can think of. And oh... the 24 games case that can also hold 2 extra sd cards. Its this one.

HORI Game Card Case 24 for Nintendo Switch Officially Licensed by Nintendo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rfEwCbCRY3Y59
I'm getting the one from HORI, it looks pretty good:
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z/
Im getting my switch in about a week and a half, so i've started to look for accesories, and I think i need some help :P
Initially ill be getting Mario Kart, so im going to buy the official Joy Con Wheel x2 thing.
I was also going to buy a carrying case, and I saw this one, which looked nice.
The last thing I was going to buy for now was a screen protector, since i've heard they can get scratched easily when placing/removing the console from the dock, so I was thinking of buying this one. I also saw a Hori screen protector, but it has horrible reviews (Mostly complaining about it unsticking at the bottom of the switch because of the heat when being docked).
So, are these good choices or should I buy some other one instead?
Also, ill probably end up buying a controller, however, I find the pro controller to be too expensive, so I was thinking of buying the Hori one which is much more affordable, but is it any good? Are there any other good controllers? And I was looking at Hori stuff, so I stumbled upon the Playstand, and the game case. Are they worth buying?
 
Sorry if this comment is too big, im very hyped for the Switch, and I dont want to ruin my experience with bad accesories =)
 
EDIT: I forgot to ask, Is a big SD Card worth it? How much space would you recommend if it is?
I currently use a combination of the following:
Case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XRV344R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7JjUCbZPNHNGA
2x HORI Switch Game Card Case https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kLjUCbHYH2M87
Both Hori cases fit perfectly in the top of the switch case and allow for 67 games to be carried at any one time (plus one additional in the console itself)
HORI Game Card Case 24 for Nintendo Switch Officially Licensed by Nintendo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_SbaVzb4XQQ124
Thats a pretty cool case! I use the snug ones though. The Hori ones that hold 24. I'm use to these though because i used the similar DS and 3DS ones for years. Haven't had any issues and have 8 of them filled up now. https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=SJRL7137QVO6&keywords=hori+game+case+for+nintendo+switch&qid=1555868245&s=gateway&sprefix=hori+game+case&sr=8-3
Something like this? It holds 24 Switch cartridges including a couple of sd cards!
Just in case check out what others said about that.
Amazon Reviews "Bend"
PDP has some kits with some cheap accessories. It includes a case as well, this all costs around 30 bucks (USD)
Nyko has a accessory known as "Clip Grip Power". It's the Joycon grip with a 3000 mAh power bank inside, and a phone stand for the Nintendo Switch Online App. I have one and it's really good, especially if you don't already own a power bank for your switch. This was 25 bucks. Very good price compared to the charging grip by Nintendo.
Split Joycon grips are available for less than 15 bucks, I have a pair (I forget what brand, but most look the same) and they work great. Back to Nyko, they said they are going to make a portable dock that is essentially the same one as the official dock. Here's a amazon link; go to nyko.com for a gamestop release date. https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Portable-Docking-Kit-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B071X7C1B4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501733668&sr=8-1&keywords=743840872252
As of now, this is supposed to be 50 bucks.
HORI recently made a controller which is cheaper than the pro controller, with a few drawbacks, like it's wired, no gyroscope or NFC reader, and so on. I don't own one; but it's 30 bucks. It seems like a good controller.
Honestly, cases will be on your taste. Some are too big (like that game traveler deluxe case; jeez that's huge.) Some offer too little. You decide. I just stuck with a basic BoTW case with 14 game cards for the future.
I’d get the Nyko travel dock if I were you. It’s small and foldable and takes up way less space than the original dock. I have 2 portable docks, my main dock is in my bedroom, and outside of having the portable docks for travel, I find that the best use I will get from them is just leaving them hooked to the other TVs in my house so that I can dock to whatever TV I’m near without having to unhook the main one from my bedroom and plug it up elsewhere. The price went up a bit, but it’s worth it.

Nintendo Joy-Con AA Battery Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071XXXK2X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NS5gAbH6GF6W1
Had a hard time finding them, hope these help man (:
Hey there, /u/Rawkin_Wolf420!
Hey! This kind of questions belong in the Daily Question Thread that is stickied to the frontpage, but let me answer real quick.
What you should get:
---
If you have questions or objections about this removal, please reach out to us in modmail and include a link to the removed post.
Does anyone think the official AA battery pack shown here will provide a good amount of grip to the back of the joycons? I sometimes find the Switch to be a tad uncomfortable for my hands when playing extended amount of handheld mode, and I think an extended or bulky grip would help. I've seen 3D printed grips that look great but I don't have access to those, and the added functionality of longer battery life definitely intrigues me
Buy another set of joycons when you can and try to buy these things when available:
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-AA-Battery-Pack/dp/B071XXXK2X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497634550&sr=8-1&keywords=aa+joycon+pack
Not for the extra battery, but for having more grip handle of the Joycon
The AA battery pack add on for the joycons actually improve ergonomics too. The best part is they’re super cheap!
You don’t have to have batteries in them to use them.
Joycon extended Battery Grips
I've heard good things about these, although maybe you are looking to make them wider/longer rather than thicker https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-AA-Battery-Pack/dp/B071XXXK2X/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1503613301&sr=1-1&keywords=Joy+con+battery+pack
There's these battery pack thingies that basically make the whole thing thicker
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-AA-Battery-Pack/dp/B071XXXK2X
If I may make a suggestion, have you tried using the joycons on their own, without the grip? I found the grip uncomfortable as well, so I use the Joycons separately with these battery pack attachments to make them nice and fat and comfortable to hold. Aiming with a single joycon is so snappy and feels great. It's definitely something I think everyone should try at least once. I just use the battery packs to make the joycons more ergonomic, but you can also put one or two batteries in each one to adjust the weight to your liking. And obviously they'll charge the controller, though I've never found a need for that so I just use dead batteries to add some weight.
^(Also this.) ^(Having to change batteries sounds like it sucks but I prefer separate Cons over the grip, and it looks like it'll make them more comfortable.)
If you have Amazon Prime Fresh, they seem to be matching this price through that buying platform. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071XXXK2X/ref=afx_dp_ingress?ie=UTF8&almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZyZXNo&fpw=alm

To add to this, there is a link on Amazon for Corrin P2. It is not live yet and since we know Cloud P2 is a GameStop exclusive, we know for sure that the picture associated with the listing is incorrect, so it looks like Corrin P2 is an Amazon exclusive, but it is unconfirmed.

Do you have a laptop (or is your computer in the same room as your bed)? If so, download Page Monitor for Chrome, and tell it to monitor this page: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B071Y79VNL
Set it to just let you know if the "There are currently no listings for this product" text changes. You can have it check the website over and over as much as you want.
It will only go off once, which might be an issue, but it does work. I snagged the Carbon Fiber D.Va Pop today with it.
In case you're interested, there is this controller adapter on Amazon. Not sure if it increases input lag though, may make the situation worse.
https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
Definitely this baby. Small, cheap, and works with 360,Xbone,Ps3, and PS4 controllers
I got my brother-in-law one of these adapters so he could use an Xbox or PS4 controller on his switch, it might work for the XAC as well
If she's good with a PS4 controller, you could try this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZFPJLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5vDHzbKG3W2E8
I haven't had a chance to try it for myself yet but it looks like a potential solution that's way cheaper than a Switch Pro controller.
Just read the reviews. Also I have it and can assure you it works great. https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Dualshock-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
You do have to update it to get rumble and gyro working though. But it's litterally drag and drop a file onto it. You can get it cheaper on eBay I read.
Hows the input lag and can you connect multiple controllers at once? Does gyro work with PS4 controllers?
I bought the coov n100 like a month back because I don't mind it being wired its the small black one got it off ebay for 10, think fast snail sells it on amazon now for 17 . Best 10 bucks I've ever spent on an accessory. This
My PS4 controller plays like it was meant for switch gyro rumble and all. But for a few bucks more if this does all that plus allows you to connect as many controllers as you like I'd say this is a no brainer if you want something like it.
I've got the pro controller, and it's pretty great. It's so much more comfortable and nicer to use than the joycons. I really do think the Xbox One controller is better though, so I also bought one of these, which lets you use an Xbox controller with your Switch. One downside is that it has to be plugged in with a cord, and the other is that the A/B and X/Y buttons are reversed. By plugging the little adapter into a PC, you can switch the buttons around though.
Yeah, here's the link if you're curious. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075JDRHV3/ref=twister_B073XKXQW4?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
The quality is hit or miss, it seems. Some people in the reviews have had slightly warped shells that don't close all the way. With some, it's just cosmetic, with a few, it's caused issues with rumble feeling faint. Most seem to be have success with them, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I saw them linked the other day. Check it
I understand what you mean but if you're interested and buy say the default gray you can get replacement shells off Amazon for a reasonable price. Just note the reviews are mixed, I think the biggest issue is having to sand/file a couple of the edges to make the cases fit properly.

I want to make my switch look like the old translucent gameboy colour (not an original idea hahaha) https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51TIgev9CUL.jpg
Where is the best place to buy these shell casings? https://www.amazon.com.au/BASSTOP-Replacement-Controller-Electronics-Joycon-Atomic/dp/B075JDRHV3 I found this one but its only 3.5 stars and the colour is a bit off.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Replacement-Housing-Shell-Case-for-Nintendo-Switch-Controller-Joy-Con-with-buttons-clear-color/32826689501.html
This one is 4.7 stars and the right colour but it is ali express.
Thoughts?
Here's an alternative if you're looking to spend Freedom Dollars:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075JDRHV3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.6ecBbCFKHWZR
BASSTOP on Amazon is selling them separately now! (the atomic purple ones at least)
I have this case. It's a hard shell with a soft screen lining on the inside and has enough space to fit quite a few physical games, and although not specifically made to hold more than the switch and some games itself, you can fit the joycon bumpers in the case just fine. It doesn't bend at all and the zipper is quality.
I was reading in another thread (it's been a while but I think it was just a daily questions thread) and someone mentioned this headset https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A for just the mixer (not the headset itself) and using your own headset. If you look through the reviews a few people talk about it in more detail. Can't give my own input since I haven't tried it, but if you already have a nice headset and you just want to mix chat audio and game audio, you might want to look into this.

Do you already have one, or are you planning on purchasing one? If it's the latter, just buy that Hori Splatoon headset. You can disconnect the headset and plug whatever you want (so long as it's using a standard 3.5mm jack) into the mixer.
Honestly, I've been looking around and maybe I don't have the terminology right, but I can't find anything as compact as this that does the same job. If you have, I'd be curious to see what it looks like and how much it costs.
I don’t own this product but it allows you to have game audio and voice chat. HORI Nintendo Switch Splatoon 2 Splat & Chat Headset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0PVN5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZgROBbFV0EFCC
You can’t do both. That’s why they made this monstrosity.

I didn’t like it and bought a new left joy-con from Hori. It works great and has a traditional d-pad. Only downside is that the joy-con can only be used in handheld mode (attached to the switch), but this doesn’t effect me since I only play in handheld or docked with a pro controller.
This is the one I have: HORI D-Pad Controller (L) (Zelda) Officially Licensed - Nintendo Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_FJe6BbGGBS1Q5
they also sell a left joycon that has a d-pad. Good for platformers, and maybe Zelda?
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE?th=1
I have one of these (specifically this one) and while I haven't used it a ton, here are my best answers:
Possibly. This is the one I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZEAMBbGYT3YWE
I hear you man but can I make a suggestion and buy the joy con that has to be attached at all times to work? The one with the D Pad. I’ve had it half a year and other than a goofy squishy minus button it works flawless. It’s normally $20 but I bought it for $13 on Amazon.
Edit: this HORI D-Pad Controller (L) (Zelda) Officially Licensed - Nintendo Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EUPNDbS63BBTA
Schutztasche kann ich sonst das Hardcase von Hori empfehlen.
Yea, I think the Hori Tough Pouch gets it pretty close. Though It would be nicer if it has a pouch on the top lid that's as wide as the center divider flap.
No, I'm talking about the HORI Tough Case.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pTMNybWZ23QTT
I like the HORI tough pouch
I'm getting the HORI Switch Tough Case from Amazon UK, but looks like it's out of stock now. I thought GAME had some things too?
The [Hori Tough Pouch] (https://www.amazon.com/Tough-Pouch-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01MR63I6F) has been doing its job really well for me! The Nintendo Switch fits right in there and does not shake while travelling. There is also an extra compartment to store game cartridges. The exterior is solid and will protect the Switch well if it is dropped.
Tempered glass screen protector and a nice case are must haves.
I use a Hori Tough Pouch and an Orzly Tempered glass screen protector. I would also recommend thumbgrips, the one on the switch are a bit slippery and it'll prevent wear and tear as well like this. I use Skill & Co. Skin set.
I haven't gotten the pro controller because I spend most of my switch time on the transit and the grip has been okay for home. My friends have all said it's a must have, I'm just waiting for a sale to grab it.
Because you've played botw already, I say get the controller. Better yet, get another game on your list instead! I'd recommend a multiplayer game so you can use the switch for what it's meant for.
Some things to consider.
The costs: A second set of joy-cons runs 70 bucks or so, additionally you're correct a Joy-Con Grip should be purchased to seat the controllers - probably another 10 dollars or so. There are joy con grips with a port for a charging cable, that will charge the joy cons those are 25 bucks. I have one, but I never use the charger, rather I swap the extra joy-cons onto the switch while it's charging.
A pro controller runs around $60.
Ultimately, 80 bucks for joy-cons vs. 60 for the pro-controller.
The quality of the controller:
The pro controller is nicer, no question. But it can't split into two allowing two people to use it.
What your kids will want/what will save you headaches:
My vote is to get another set of joy cons to ensure they're both playing with the same type of controller and not fighting over it. They're likely at an age where they won't feel the need for the "best" controller so much as they'd want the ability to play with more friends.
Yes, people are having issues when it is docked. This is because the basic dock is just a plastic piece that holds the joy-cons in a controller style.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Comfort-Grip-Black/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=pd_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=W6583VVZMYG313HK4J3J&th=1
It does not modify the sync it has to the console. If you are holding this setup such that your fingers cover the emitter (top) then you can still have interrupts. If you use the pro controller the broadcast is stronger and is less likely to be interrupted.
The joycon grips come with the console as well as with spare joycons.
The console comes with (at least for me): switch itself (i.e. the screen part), a pair of joycons, a pair of joycon grips, a joycon comfort grip so you can turn them into one controller, the plastic dock, a hdmi cable, and finally a usb-c AC wall adapter (which can be used either directly into the switch to charge it or as part of the dock which also charges the switch)
The Joycon Comfort Grip. Joycons will never be a pro controller.... but this makes them pretty damn close. Officially license by Nintendo and a steal at under $10.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BtaWzbENX7E3E
I was thinking of something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7j4KDbEBBWV08
I have this which is sadly the best case to actually put on your switch in my opinion. The single piece hard shell case you'd need to remove the entire thing if you want to just remove 1 joycon. The TPU cases seem a bit too finicky to get on from some reviews.
I might give this grip and case a try. Apparently the grip is larger than the stock one so it should fit better in my hands. The case seems like it should fit joycons so it seems like it's what OP's looking for. The licensed one from Nintendo is hot ***. Doesn't fit anything but the switch, games, and cables which is what I get from my $2 generic case.
Amazon Canada & Amazon US too.
you can get the neon joy-con controllers on
Amazon
But you can also get covers for the joy cons if you don't want to spend the extra money right away on Best Buy for $15. Amazon also has these too for the same price. I got the covers and will buy the controllers at a later time as I shelled out enough money for the moment.
All joy-cons (the ones with the console as well as those sold seperatly) come with dark grey/black straps (as seen for example on https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Red/dp/B01MT8RT5I/).
The straps sold extra have different colors, light grey/neon ble/neon red.
Here's the all blue and all red also!

Holy God. Is this on Amazon or any US store?
Can people outside Australia buy it online?

get the official nintendo soft case
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-Screen-Protector/dp/B01N226BBW
Comes with a screen protector and has the lowest profile of all the switch cases I have seen. Also holds game cards/sd cards.
Does anyone know where I can find a picture of the inside of the Official Nintendo Switch Case?
I personally love the case I got. It won't do much in terms of protecting the Switch if you drop it or something. However, the best part about it is that the case can be used as a stand when you open it up. It's great for setting the case down on the tray on your plane and playing the Switch that way. Here is an Amazon link but I payed less for it buying it from Toys R Us.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N226BBW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_.TYFzb9202JHP
Yea, that's the one I wanted but I think it's a soft case.
The listing for it on Amazon Japan shows the packaging (this link be crazy, it had Japanese in the URL).
https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E4%BB%BB%E5%A4%A9%E5%A0%82-Nintendo-Switch%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%82%B1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9-%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B32%E3%82%A8%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3-%E7%94%BB%E9%9D%A2%E4%BF%9D%E8%AD%B7%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E4%BB%98%E3%81%8D/dp/B072FH4TPJ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1502000327&sr=8-6&keywords=nintendo+switch+case
And then on Amazon US, there's a plain Switch case with the same packaging, leading me to believe it's the same as the Splatoon one, just with no design. And reviews for this one definitely say it's a soft design that's meant more for scratches than any real protection.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-Screen-Protector/dp/B01N226BBW/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1502000425&sr=1-1&keywords=nintendo+switch+case&refinements=p_89%3ANintendo

I think this is what you are looking for but yea it’s a mess...

I completely understand, I myself am probably going to pass until they release the standalone adapter.
Yes the headset is separate, according to the diagram in the images on various listings of the package. https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
The splatoon headset should work for this. Not sure if it's exactly what you need, but give it a look.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
The Hori Splatoon 2 headset includes an adapter for this.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
I believe you can replace the headset and still use the adapter.
Pretty much this. It combines both sources into one headset.
this thing
If you want something more official and a bit mid-range, try the mixer that comes with the Splatoon headset. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0PVN5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eC6NAb6J8HAN5
The headphones are trash so use what you have or buy a new headset.
i got this thing back when it was being sold https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-2-Splat-Chat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A/ref=dp_csx_sw_pr_acc_2
it comes with a really cheap mixer that doesnt require a power supply, obviously not the best quality but it does what it needs to
Seems I was wrong! Just went up for pre-order on Amazon US here
So I really like the Hori D-pad Zelda design (Here!), but I also really want to have a bluetooth controller.
Do you think it's possible to do a shell exchange using the hori d-pad as the shell i'm taking?
Yeah...once I started thinking about the drifting issues, I am having 2nd thoughts on getting a lite till we know how well they work. Currently getting https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=dpad+joycon&qid=1562797033&s=gateway&sprefix=d+pad+&sr=8-1 as a cheap alternative for playing our switch in handheld mode. Plus it has a D pad!
Hori makes one, but I believe it lacks HD rumble. Or you can buy third-party shell replacements, which is the route I went.
​
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE
https://www.amazon.com/BASSTOP-Translucent-Replacement-Electronics-D-Pad-Atomic/dp/B076SJV32D
If you only need it for handheld mode, you could consider getting one of the left d-pad joy cons from Hori. https://www.amazon.ca/Switch-Controller-Officially-Licensed-Nintendo/dp/B01AJRN4CE/
Mod your controllers to have a D-Pad, or buy one of these. Problem solved.
The analog stick isn't that terrible, aside from the high failure rate due to things getting inside of it.
Yeah I have the same problem with going down. It’s not horrible, but it happens enough to where I would buy something else to try. I wish I could find a SNES style controller with the dpad that’s in the dpad joycon you can buy( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_X-4BDb8B8038A ). That’s the best feeling dpad I have ever used.
I didn't receive an answer yesterday, so reposting:
Are there any controllers out there similar to the HORI D-Pad Controller?
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE/?th=1
There are lots of 3rd party controllers out there, but this is the only one I've seen which "replaces" the joycon and thus is good for use in portable mode.
The problem with the HORI D-Pad for me is that the d-pad is still in a horrible position for actually using. I was hoping someone produced a similar controller but maybe with the d-pad in a different position, or a different controller shape, etc., so that using the d-pad won't be uncomfortable and cause horrible cramps.
Unfortunately, this controller is the only thing I've found. Everyone else seems to be only producing full controllers, and that's no good for me for playing in handheld mode.
Any reason why you don't simply buy a Hori D Pad ? It is a great solution...
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE
​
Otherwise I just stick to the "Benson approved" ones.
There's handheld only joycon that has a d-pad. They're like $25. I totally recommend it for 2-D switch games in handheld.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=joycon+d-pad&qid=1549923933&s=gateway&sr=8-3
i think i saw somewhere that there are joy con with dpad's like this one : https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE?th=1 . is this just a modded version of the hori joycon? so this doesnt have all the features of the original joy cons?
​
I don't think that's hard. This HORI one is the hard case.
This Hori Tough Pouch just popped up on Amazon:

I use the Hori Tough Pouch. I don't have any problems with it, other than I think the elastic band is a little unnecessary and makes it slightly annoying to take the Switch out of the case; but it's not that big of a deal.
Honestly never bothered with Screen Protectors for anything. Don't use them for my phone or my Vita either. I have a carry case for my Vita and a normal flip-open phone case. That works well enough I find.
Would recommend you pick up this case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/HORI-Switch-Tough-Case-Nintendo/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YKARMVB7RKBEDG2BPDBE
I like the Hori brand case. Used them for my PSP, Vita, and 3DS. So I know they're good quality. So long as you look after your device, there's no reason you should ever have the screen scratched. Just remember, don't pull or tilt towards yourself when taking the Switch out of the dock, that's how the dock ends up scuffing the screen.
First one is more elllaborate, the official one is very simple, seems like won't do too well with drops. I went with this one:
HORI Tough Pouch (Black) for Nintendo Switch Officially Licensed by Nintendo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_apkRybA07NSY1
Great protection, good price.
All the best!
This. It is the one I have, its cheap and holds console, joy con straps, and games all snugly.
I got the hori one. Under $20 and works fine.

I looked online and saw prices ranging from $300-500. Is there any difference between these consoles other than the skin?
The $300 base model of the Nintendo Switch (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01LTHP2ZK/) does not include any games, but is still what you should most likely buy. More expensive models may have games bundled or free in-game currency (e.g. Fortnite), but they shouldn't be more than $350 (plus tax). At $360, you're not really saving any money, and anything more expensive than THAT is from a third party trying to make a quick buck. The console itself currently has few variations; most of your customization will depend on what color controllers you get with the console.
What type of accessories am I going to need?
This depends on your use case. I'd recommend getting a screen protector (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N3ASPNV/). If you expect to bring the Switch out of the house a lot, also get a case (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/). Anything else, like special controllers (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0748S3GXG/) or a dock cover (https://www.etsy.com/listing/560319070/), is largely unnecessary right now; look into them when you find you need extra joy-cons (https://smile.amazon.comdp/B078GZM4H8/) or a tabletop stand (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N9RTMWS/) for your Switch. In the end, you should not be spending more than $400 for the Switch, one game, and core accessories.
As for games, so far I planned on buying Smash Bros, Let's Go Pikachu, and One's Justice. Can you recommend any other games? I was never into Zelda but hear the new game is very good.
How old is your kid? Super Mario Odyssey (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MY7GHKJ/) is fun, and has a great co-op mode if you want to play together. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also always a blast (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N1037CV/). I'm also a huge fan of Splatoon 2 (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N9QVIRV/), but it's probably better for older kids because it requires more dexterity. There's lots of games to recommend, but it'll help to know what your kid already likes... or what you want your kid to like ;)
Side note: To play online, you need Nintendo Switch Online (https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/). It's $20 a year for one ACCOUNT, or $35 a year for 8 accounts. Each account also has separate save files, if multiple people will be playing on the same Switch. Smash Ultimate and Mario Kart both have online modes, but Splatoon's primary game modes are online-only.
Whats the difference between mario party and mario space odyssey?
Super Mario Odyssey is an action-platformer for the Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Party is a virtual board game for the Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Galaxy is an action-platformer for the Wii, a completely different console.
Let us know if you have follow-up questions!
Yeah the case is great. It has a slot where you slide the cartridge in so you don't need to lug around the game boxes. Link below:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1gOvzbQD9Y70N
I would be asking for 475 shipped. I still have the original box for the console itself, and the pro controller. To put it in perspective, I spent close to $600 when all was said and done. Didn't play much handheld, mainly used docked with the pro controller. Adult owned, smoke free home. All that jazz.
I don't want to sell but we just bought a house and I need money for a lawnmower. Check my post history - just sold a ton at /r/hardwareswap when I broke down my gaming PC.
All in, you'd get the Neon switch, pro controller, Zelda, Mario Kart 8 DLX, screen protector (installed), hori case, hori console stand, and dock sock to prevent screen scratches from the dock (custom made from Switzerland!).
Glad to answer any questions.

I went with Hori's case simply because I've been getting their cases since the DSlite. I feel I can trust Hori's build quality in terms of protection, I always throw a portable in my bag for commuting so I know they can take a beating. I can always just get another case when others hit the market or if I feel like it doesn't tic every box for how I wind up playing the system.
https://www.amazon.com/Tough-Pouch-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01MR63I6F
Oh man! I haven't found anywhere in the UK to buy this, I think the case looks quality and robust. I went for the Hori one from amazon!
Its rather boring, nothing like the Zelda one melts
Yeah that makes sense. Maybe one of the following extras: a Hori case, an Orzly Comfort Grip Case for Switch, or Minecraft: Story Mode (Switch). Any of these appeal to you?
I have https://www.amazon.com/Tough-Pouch-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1492783506&sr=1-2&refinements=p_4%3AHOR and Im quite happy with it. Travel to work every day with it in my backpack. My only concern is when I have more than 6 games. I trade in a lot so it may no happen for physical anyway.
This one is perfect in my opinion I got it like a month ago.
https://www.amazon.com/Tough-Pouch-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01MR63I6F
Check out the third picture here which shows the inside of a different case:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01MR63I6F/
Note that this is not the case you asked about, but you can probably expect the insides to be similar. If you zoom in you can see 5 individual elastic pouches to hold games. It's lining the top of the dividing piece of fabric, easy to miss. Then right below that you have another elastic band in the centre. I'm assuming this can hold the two joycon straps parallel.
Are you having a hard time choosing the best accessories for your Switch? I personaly can't decide between these carry cases:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MR63I6F/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
Do you think there will be a great difference in the quality? I intend ot buy a pro-controller as well, so every additional pound counts.
I'm very happy with the Hori Case.
The shell is harder than the official case, it fits 5 games and the Joy-Con grips.
If he wants something discrete and compact then the Hori Tough Case might be worth looking at.
If he's a big Zelda fan then he might like one of the Zelda cases, the RDS ones are a bit bulkier but also come with little Zelda branded cartridge holders.
This is the one I'm using. Not a true hard case, but I'll be using it to start out.
Holds games too...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MR63I6F/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I'm currently deciding between these three:
Here
ya go
(They also have red ones)
An alternative to buying a pro controller is to get a better joy con grip. This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Comfort-Grips-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01MS7YUA7
And every review says "Great for little hands" or "small", haha. Though I appreciate the link.
I guess I didn't realize you could play with motion controls with the pro controller, so I guess that could be an option. Can you play motion controls with the comfort grip, ala: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Comfort-Grips-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549558299&sr=8-2&keywords=switch+joy+con+comfort+grip ?
I guess it's not much different than the Pro Controller.
I saw this on amazon, it looks like what you're looking for: this is the link!
But the title of the product is soooooo bad.
no, there is a difference between the two. do some actual product research. here is a link to both the Charge Grip and the regular Joy-Con grip. it's called a "CHARGE" grip for a reason.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Charging-Grip/dp/B01N33MFPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487385813&sr=8-1&keywords=Nintendo+Switch+charge+grip
https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Switch-Joy-Con-Comfort-Grip-Nintendo/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487385899&sr=8-1&keywords=nintendo%2Bswitch%2Bgrip&th=1
Here is a link to a grip that has a few different styles.
PowerA Joy-Con Comfort Grips for Nintendo Switch – Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yYQZBbH5TZJHX
Checking on Bestbuy, I found both the charging grip (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-joy-con-charging-grip/5730706.p?skuId=5730706) which'll charge your joycons as you or your friend play, and an off-brand version for a very reasonable price (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/powera-comfort-grip-for-nintendo-joy-con-controllers-black/5729901.p?skuId=5729901).
The charging grip is also available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Charging-Grip/dp/B01N33MFPK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1497755536&sr=8-3&keywords=joycon+grip), as is the non-charging off-brand grip (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Comfort-Grip-Black/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1497755536&sr=8-4&keywords=joycon+grip).
It's pretty weird that you can't buy a standalone Nintendo-brand non-charging grip, isn't it?

Would definitely recommend a pro controller, so much more comfortable than joy-con. I got joy-con comfort silicone grip things that go on the joy-con, but even then my hands absolutely kill me from playing Switch. If you just want to play as soon as you can, I guess get silicone comfort grips for your joy-con, and a comfort grip controller. Also definitely get a glass screen protector, and this case.. For games, I'd recommend BotW, Splatoon 2, and Odyssey (I assume by the time you have enough saved up odyssey will be out, it comes out in a month)

You can get a Zelda or Mario one too.

My girlfriend preordered me a bunch of switch stuff back in february: 1-2 Switch, MK8, ARMS, the case with Link shooting an ancient arrow, and the Zelda skins.
I've received 1-2 switch, and I know the other games are not out yet, but I've seen other people with the Zelda skins and I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever get mine or my case. Has anyone else had this experience or gotten their items?
I have this zelda case I got from GameStop. It has a ridiculous amount of slots to hold your games, not to mention the design is really nice so I recommend it :) Here’s the case
I love the officially licensed Zelda one. Or the Mario one if you're into that. Has 24 card slots built in and a microfiber cloth to get rid of all the damn fingerprints. It won't keep it as safe as some of the other ones but it looks great and has a handle to hold it with so it probably won't fall as much if you're carrying it around. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N10SBT4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(By the way, it seems the other editions are not as well made. I would definitely go for the Zelda one if you want one to last... At least mine does.)

Huh, glass seems to be the preferable one. I was thinking about this one as it comes with a carrying case, which I also need - but it's plastic: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-Screen-Protector/dp/B01N226BBW. What are the advantages of the glass one?
I bought the official Nintendo case and works great.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-Screen-Protector/dp/B01N226BBW
Also is not bulky at all.
Cheers!
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-Screen-Protector/dp/B01N226BBW I got this case since the Switch launched and I’ve been rocking it since it’s basic but works great. I especially love how it can be used as a stand so I can prop my Switch up on tabletop mode in bed
If you're looking for above average portability, I have no hesitation in recommending the official nintendo case. The portability is really good (though there isn't much space inside) and it functions as a better stand than the included kickstand, which really comes in handy. I also like that it's a low profile black color, which may not matter to other people, but for me I don't want to be carrying it in a flashy attention grabbing case at work.
Link here: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-Screen-Protector/dp/B01N226BBW
I really like the official carrying case, because the built in kickstand gives a better angle than the one on the switch, and makes it possible to play it on surfaces that I couldn't with the normal one, like on my bed. I can't vouch for the quality of the included screen protector because I'm already using a glass one, but I guess it's a nice inclusion.
Ah, I understand. Perhaps they will offer better products for protection than just this: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Hybrid-Cover-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N22YBVY/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1484651282&sr=8-18&keywords=switch+case+nintendo
I got the PowerA magnetic cover: though obviously the number one thing you worry about is dropping your Switch, I'm more worried about scratching the screen while it's in my backpack or anywhere else. Link
Do you think something like this would fit in the case?
Nintendo Switch Hybrid Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N22YBVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CbA4ybK6JWTKB
I got this and love it!
Yeah looks like it has something like the Hybrid cover: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Hybrid-Cover/dp/B01N22YBVY
Sure
Someone linked this case, it’s not the same one but it’s designed the same so it should work perfectly :) edit: but yeah I’ll let you know if I find the original! :)
Are there any reviews on the PowerA Hybrid Cover?
Has any one seen it in person or anyrthing like this fitting in the dock? I don't think it will but I am not certain.
I remember seeing that the dock only had enough extra room for a glass or regular screen protector.
hybrid cover case
If you're nervous about scratches (as I am), I would definitely recommend this console cover. It's doubles as a kickstand of sorts, but much sturdier than the one built into the console. You don't be able to dock it while the cover is in use, but if you purchase a USB C extender, you can just plug the console into the dock-- that way you never have to worry about scratches if you have a warped dock.
I have both of these products (just got the extender today) and they work beautifully. I hope this helps!
I want to HIGHLY recommend the Hybrid case (Normal or Splatoon 2 version).
Its SO fantastic and pretty cheap. Only con is that you have to take the Switch out of the case to put it in the dock. BUT that sounds harder than it is, I swear it takes maybe 2 real seconds.
Its fantastic case that protects the Switch and allows you to set it up in 3 different angles. PLUS, it looks really good.

any opinions on this product?
Sure, the exhaust is on the top, but the intakes are on the lower back. See that there are holes in the back of the dock, and that all official cases and stands have holes in the back.
There's a hybrid case you can pick up that protects the tablet itself. There's also joycon silicon covers if you want. I don't really think those are necessary. A good zippered case as all you really need.
Any experiences with hybrid covers like this one?:https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Hybrid-Cover/dp/B01N22YBVY
I would like to get one, but is it comfortable to use in handheld mode with the flap in the back?
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Hybrid-Cover/dp/B01N22YBVY
It's probably the officially licensed one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N22YBVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HDkdzb8WDDV4W
But pretty much the same thing
I love the "slim" tomtoc case. https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Nintendo-Original-Hardshell-Cartridges-Accessory/dp/B07C3Z8FFC
For some reason they increased in price, maybe one of the other colors is cheaper. I got mine for around 16 bucks. Looks like the "wide" version of the case is cheaper now?
It has just enough room to fit the 2 smaller kinds of skull&co joystick caps. It barely adds any thickness, yet it's rigid so it'll protect pretty well from falls. I can put the switch in my jacket pocket [darn, it's hot now..] and a few pants' pockets.
There's also a fatter one for chargers and such, but I have a pouch for my battery pack so I didn't need it.
Is it this one?
Quick question about tomtoc cases. I really like the look/form factor of these but I am torn between the slim and the larger case. I like the minimalism of the slim but the larger is $2 cheaper for what seems to be more. Does anyone have experience with both?
I really like this one. If you don't need to bring any accessories with you it's great.
How many of you are using a grip on your switch? Any recommendations and is it mandatory?
Also, I just bought this ultra slim protective case from Tomtoc, on a lightning deal for $16.99, and I really do like it and how slim it is. But I also saw that Tomtoc had this case that came with a free grip for the same if not lesser price than the ultra slim. What do you guys think. I’ve only had my switch for about a week and probably gonna play 60-70% in console mode and the rest handheld. What’s nice about the ultra slim is that it fits in a couple of my shoulder bags when I take on the go.
This one is the one i use now and the best one I found after trying several.
It’s extremely slim and lightweight, has a soft screen protector tab inside (with places to store game cards), but no b.s. like straps or anything to stop you from getting your switch out nice and easy. It’s a nice prime knit fabric with hardened edges and corners for protection.
You really should take a look; I love it and I throw my switch in this case and take my switch to the office everyday to play. Really easy to put away and pull out, plenty of protection, super slim.

Hey!
> Does your boyfriend enjoy buying physical copies of the games or are electronic copies fine?
Personally, I buy electronic versions for environmental reasons and so I have a 128GB microSD card. You can probably get a good deal on that given Black Friday. If you don’t have environmental reservations, I would say go with physical copies and a 32 or 64GB card because your bf can sell the game if he’s done with it. You can’t return electronic copies or sell them, so you’re kinda stuck with them forever.
> Switch V1 or V2?
Tbh, I wouldn’t recommend getting the second Switch only for the fact that you cannot remove the controllers. Having V1 off the bat allows your bf to pop the controllers off for 2 player games, the Switch Lite or V2 doesn’t allow that... and it’s something to consider imo. To me, Nintendo is all about playing with friends so I definitely enjoy being able to share immediately. This also removes the need for buying a separate controller.
> Games?
Classic many player games are Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, closely followed by Mario Party. However, if your bf enjoys single player games, Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey are fantastic.
If you also wanna join in and play with him, I would suggest Overcooked 1 and 2. They’re amazing games and I know many nongamers that got hooked on these two games.
> Accessories?
I recommend getting a bag. You can buy something like this. It’s slim and perfect for carrying the Switch in his backpack.
If you have any questions, I got you! ;)
Similar one for the OG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C3Z8FFC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FmmSDbSKQFHN6
If you're worried about him ripping the joycons off with his Hulk-strength maybe you'd be interested in the grip attachment made by Satisfye.
Personally I've found it makes it much more comfortable to hold playing handheld and, in your cousin's case, it would probably greatly help in acting as a brace since he'd be holding the grip which also runs across the back of the console as well and not just the joycons themselves. You'd have to try pretty hard to accidentally break that thing.

Looks like they sell it on Amazon now
Don't both these companies have versions already out for the OG switch? I have the skull and co case lol.
Sec let me look
Skull&Co
Satisfye
There's even more compact options like this that make a huge difference too (I have this one as well). Grips stick out past the switch but they're smaller. It's kinda like the skull&co with the smallest grips attached but a little less bulky.
Not that exact thing but I've definitely seen that idea.

Still the one you linked is Nintendo approved and done by Hori so that sounds like a good mix.
https://www.amazon.com/Satisfye-Ultimate-Accessories-Comfortable-Ergonomic-Thumbsticks/dp/B07FNJJG5V
This thing is awesome. So much more ergonomic
I have dismotricity so I know your pain. I am only able to play it using the Satisfye grip (https://www.amazon.com/Satisfye-Ultimate-Comfortable-Ergonomic-Accessories-Thumbsticks/dp/B07FNJJG5V/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 )and even then I still do feel as if the game was no made for gamers with disabilities. I hope you will be able to enjoy it too and good luck !
>It is. Which is why i dont agree with people bitching about how "slow" the switches hardware is. If the games on it are good (which they are), why the fuck does it matter?
Dead Cells is a fine example of why it matters.
It's a great game if you have even the most remote interest in Metroidvanias. It runs like shit on the Switch. The crappy framerates of the game significantly impact the gameplay in a game where careful timing and reflexes are required.
>I have a 3ds. While yes, they have good games, most of them are clerly designed to be purely portable games. Not to mention the fact that with my large hands, i find holding the 3ds for longer than 10 minuets at a time to be very uncomfortable. Which is why the switch is better. Not only is it more comfortable in hand held, not only can i have multiple controller options, but i can dock it and play it on my TV as well.
They make grip cases for both the Switch and the 3DS that significantly improve their feel. My hands hurt holding either of them outside their cases. For the Switch, I recommend the Satisfye grip although the Skull and Co Gripcase is a close second. For the 3ds, I personally use the Monster Hunter Cross that I've modded with a rubberized grip. This is a pretty expensive option, however, so there are cheaper ones for people who don't want to invest that much.
>Exactly. And my PC does PC things and is a superior gaming machine to my Switch. But most games that i can play on one or the other, most time, i prefer the switch. I have emulators on my phone as well. But id still rather have those games on the switch because its a better platform for gaming than a Phone is.
I disagree. I use a cheap little xbox controller phone clip to hold my phone when I game. The controller connects bluetooth and provides a generally superior experience to gaming with my Switch. My phone has better audio, a better screen, and a more powerful processor. It also has free cloud saves and can connect to the internet without wifi (anbd has a superior wifi antennae).
>Ill take the taller screen, but even that said.. your arguing over .2" as if its a huge deal. Its not.
No, it's not. The OLED vs LED is though.
All together it cost me around $80. That is because the caps came as a bonus with the Satisfye Switch Grip https://www.amazon.com/Satisfye-Ultimate-Accessories-Comfortable-Ergonomic-Thumbsticks/dp/B07FNJJG5V/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2KWG8EGZTQWJV&keywords=satisfye+nintendo+switch+grip&qid=1570416273&sprefix=satisfye%2Caps%2C468&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzMjRESU5MWTYwUUdCJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzc5MDgySFE5NUxMNDJTM0tUJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0MjQxMzkyR1AyMUNFODNCT0RKJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

I plan to order one for myself on Black Friday :) However, I've heard that it's meant for people with larger than average hands, so def not for your son.
For a cheap controller, I'd recommend getting the 8bitdo wireless adapter. That way, you can use your PS4 controller!
I highly recommend the Satisfye grip when used handheld. Fully supports the joy cons to prevent bending/flexing, and makes it so much more comfortable. This plus a glass screen protector is my setup. A silicone case wouldn't fit with it due to fitting very tightly on the bare switch, but the satisfye seems to be a pretty good case as far as protection goes on its own. Most importantly, the rigidity it adds.
https://www.amazon.com/Satisfye-Ultimate-Accessories-Comfortable-Ergonomic-Thumbsticks/dp/B07FNJJG5V
I don't think there are bigger ones, but you could get some sort of grip to help you with the cramps, there are some silicon or hard plastic shells out there, i have the silicon ones that came in the switch starter kit

If you’re going to be playing a lot in handheld, I recommend getting a grip case. These are generally considered the best two available.

I use the satisfy grip, while my wife uses the skull & co grip because it better suited to smaller hands. Either one is solid, and your hands will thank you.
It's off brand, but enjoy.
I have a Switch and I have to say the console itself is fine, but it's clear a massive miscalculation was made with the original design of the joycon. The Gamepad Pro so far seem much more durable(I've used the same since 2017 and it's only just finally beginning to experiences slightly less precises controls in one of the joysticks and that was mostly fixed with just a bit of calibration). However that might be because it actually uses what's likely a very different component model than the one that troubles joy-cons the most.
As it turn out, the faulty component(the joystick) is not even one Nintendo had designed themselves but is instead purchased from mass supplier. It's literally a "standard" third party model that was made for a variety of uses...
... and was likely never made by that supplier for durability due to the resistor pad inside the joystick box being made from graphite that metal component will literally dent and scratch over time.
Considering the tiny size of the joystick, I assume it was selected(though I have no ideas if Nintendo were originally aware of the weak nature of the internals of the joysticks boxes) primarily due to it's small size as to allow room for the much more advanced HD rumble(more advanced than even the Gamepad Pro's) in the pair and IR camera found in one ontop of the NFC sensor found in the other joycon.
All this said, it does mean that if you can find any third party model that use a different stick design though, they might be more durable than Nintendo's joycons and perhaps even cheaper than Nintendo's offering... since most third parties will have removed the more costly components/features of the controllers which is to say the forementioned HD Rumble/IR camera/NFC sensor.
Personally I've started the search myself even though my current joycons have yet to experience drift so I can preemptively make sure I have a more durable backup before I even get there. Though the tough part for me is to specifically find a pair that could support being used in handheld play which is my primary use for joycons.
My Gamepad Pro is still fine though, but I might still pick a new third party controller for a similar role though albeit different
reasons.
My dad's actually begun to play some games himself but while he's finally just starting to get the hang of 3D cameras, he still struggle to remember once in a while which button do what. But recently I fell upon a third party controller that's basically a modernized Gamecube controller updated with four shoulder buttons, motion control and a proper joystick instead of a C-stick, but otherwise retained the same controls layout.... including the extremely clear button identification layout with that massive green A button, that instantly noticeable red B and the X and Y butons to either sides of the top of the green A. It even got updated to have the screenshot/home buttons of Switch controllers too: https://www.amazon.ca/PowerA-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo-Switch-GameCube/dp/B07GXLBCC3?th=1
this one, from my experience
PowerA Wireless GameCube Style Controller for Nintendo Switch - Purple https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GXLBCC3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.aHmDbGRETQ8R

Yeah its the power A, looks like this. Sorry for shitty amazon link, I have the grey one (it's all they had at wal mart at the time)
It's perfect for casual home use, it works for any game or anything you need the gyro for even. And I can do tech/combos with it no problem, never had an issue with it. I always wanted a GC controller with a left bumper cause I find that a perfect jump button, so easy to just tap and slide your finger off for SH.
would this be a good controller for pc and switch? or should I go with a more traditional one?
Reposting because it looks like I accidentally used an affiliate link the first time:
Power A is making a licensed one, but I have no idea if it'll be any good.
There's a middle ground if you're interested. A wireless GameCube controller for the switch with motion controls
Edit: found the link
Same price as the GC controller and the adapter together

Great! Do you have a recommendation for what controllers to get? I'd prefer wireless but not too expensive.
I also see this wireless GC controller made specifically for switch. Worth it?
PDP is the best USB GC controller for the money imo.

If you want a Wireless one I think the PowerA is your best bet. A bit more expensive tho.

If you want to connect multiple controllers, you'll need to get a usb c converter, and you'll need a 3rd party stand so the plug can stick out of the bottom. Or you can wait for that kickstarter one.
If you just need one controller, 8bitdo makes a wireless one and I've heard it works fine.
This 8bitdo Bluetooth adapter supports the nes/snes Classic controllers or game cube controller with the switch:
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Adapter-Nintendo-GameCube-Classic-Controllers/dp/B07JLF9PVG
I've been using this 8bitdo adapter with the SNES classic controller. It says its a wireless adapter but you can also use it wired, which is amazing.
The only drawback is that the SNES classic controller doesn't have joysticks, so you can't really use it in editor. So stupid that you can't move the camera or cursor with the DPAD. But aside from that, it's basically perfect for actual gameplay.
Or just get the 8Bitdo adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JLF9PVG
There's also this (for using the Classic controllers): https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Adapter-Nintendo-GameCube-Classic-Controllers/dp/B07JLF9PVG
The GameCube controller adapter takes up two usb slots and can be plugged into the dock. You can't use GameCube controllers portably with the offical adapter. Personally I reccomend either getting the powerA wireless gamecube controller or the 8bitdo wireless adapter if you want to play portable and docked.

8bitdo bluetooth controller adapter + Wii Classic Controller Pro
The only way to play. best d-pad I've used out of any controller.
There is a pricier way to play with Gamecube controllers, using 8bitdo's Gamecube wireless adapter. It's not out yet, but releases on the same day as Smash, so you should be fine there. However, its $20 bucks per adapter, which only supports up to one player each, but does have home and screenshot buttons on the adapter, which makes the Gamecube controllers more viable for other games.
&#x200B;
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Adapter-Nintendo-GameCube-Classic-Controllers/dp/B07JLF9PVG
That's certainly inventive, but I'd probably invest in one of these if you really want to use GC controllers during undocked play.
There was some misinformation a few months back, the Elecom adapter is not compatible with guitars. Had a user saying it was with no proof, and a bunch of people went out and bought them.
There are two that are known to work. One is by Raphnet, and I'll have to find the other one, give me a but to edit. I still fully recommend the Raphnet adapter when it goes back in stock.
Edit: this one supposedly works. Had a few people on here praising it. Just need some sort of USB extension because it's short.
Still recommend the Raphnet adapter because it's long enough and plug in play, plus you can download the drivers and get 2ms latency.
Now I don't know how you feel about a wireless option, but if you are already using the 8bitdo wireless adapters, there is a wireless transmitter. It's made for the switch, and it uses batteries, but it works pretty well. I haven't tested it on the SNESC, though. The nunchuck also works for it as an NES controller without a start or select.

I have this, it's pretty great. You plug the controller into that guy and then it syncs like any other controller to the switch (or any other device that has bluetooth; phone, tablet, PC etc.). Bonus upside, you can also use the Classic Controllers from both the NES and SNES Classics as well as any controller attachment that plugged into the Wii-motes.

All joycons come with the grip in the box. Take a look
Why are you lying?
CamelCamelCamel shows that the Joy-Con prices have been fluctuating below MSRP on Amazon since launch. The lowest price has been $66. I'm debating whether to buy the set for $72 now or wait for a better deal.
Edit: Keep in mind that these are the Gray Joy-Con. Colored ones seem to be in higher demand (since most people have Gray from the console purchase), so they are harder to find and stay at $80.
I'm currently using the Carry-All case. I've had it since Day 1, and it works well. However, the creator of this Switch TakeCase posted a giveaway here about a week ago and I think it looks great, I will be buying that one soon. Another good one is the Deluxe Travel case, I know someone who has it. It just isn't optimal for me since I carry a Pixel charger and I don't think it would fit in that zipper pouch.
I use the official Nintendo hard case which I find great! I've also heard good things about the "Surge carry all case" I'll pop the link below
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Carry-All-Case/dp/B01N6RMR30
This case in my opinion has the best design and is hard so that it can protect the console itself.
How about this? Is very cheap yes.
This one is also very nice and cheap and has space for the back of the joycons.

Nice, I got this one. Was really drawn to it's simplicity and how to the case shapes to the JoyCons.

Nintendo Switch Carry-All Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6RMR30/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0bH-yb6C4BPF9
Hello all,
I've been scouring the search feature and Google and I have a hard time picturing which case works for me exactly. I am looking for a case that can hold the future Nyko Portable Docking Kit, an extra set of JoyCons and their wrist straps + original wrist straps (The Docking Kit comes with an HDMI, power cable and the AC adapter). I realize that this might be a stretch given that the Docking Kit isn't out, but for those with amazing spatial abilities, that would be grand!
I'm really trying to avoid a backpack or huge compartments, a single-handed carrying case would be ideal.
These are the few that I've been eyeing but kind of torn with.
Butterfox
Hard EVA
Orzly
Surge
Thoughts anyone?
I definitely recommend a hard case. Here is what I've got. Nintendo Switch Carry-All Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6RMR30/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3G-Yzb9EM1THW
I use the one from the Breath of the Wild Collector's edition. It looks like this.
Here is one on Amazon that is a little smaller. In mine I can fit extra joycons.

Here is the one I am getting
Sorry for mobile link.
Repost because "affiliate link" or whatever, hopefully I fixed it thanks to another user.
Gray Switch
Neon Red joy cons so that I can have a red /grey setup.
128gb micro sd card
This switch carrying case that has a bump out for the triggers
This carrying case as it is pretty inconspicuous, has divots in the case for the joy cons, and a dedicated space for games. I also snagged this powerbank came recommended by Spawn Wave. It's fairly cheap and should be able to charge the Switch twice on a full charge.
Console: Switch Console (Grey Edition)
Accessories: (1) 256 GB MicroSD; (2) Pro Controller; (3) Extra Dock; (4) Nintendo Switch Carry All Case (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6RMR30/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1); and (5) Screen Protector (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCX8UUG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1)
Games: Zelda BoTW; Bomberman R
Not really sure about the case and the screen protector but I feel like they are necessary. Anyone else getting either, or both? Recommendations?
This is what I've been using:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UI5M3J8
I keep the switch itself inside of this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6RMR30
The whole thing leaves room for a charging cable and some other accessories. I love it.
This case seems to be popular from what I've read.

Have you considered something more like this then? It should fit right into your case and keeps your games accessible. While a second game slot on the Switch would actually be pretty handy stuff like this is a close second.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ldNjDb5CA21BE
I got this case off Amazon and it's just over half full. Most of my games are digital, so I won't need a bigger one for quite a while. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GDImDbW2XBR2Z
I use the Hori 24 cartridge case.

If I actually get enough physical games that require storage, I'll probably keep them in a separate case, something like https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z/.
Get a travel case to keep all the game cards you play all the time in.
For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5PDVBbRQMF3ER

Each holds 24 carts, and they’re not thin cases, they’re about an inch thick. 2 will fit under the netting, and the 3rd fits right next to them, it’s just not under the net. As long as you don’t want anything else in the case to also carry, 3 will fit just fine. Just a suggestion.
this seems to be the best game case out there, but doesn't look like its as compact or thin as the case you mentioned. Might be worth waiting a little bit to see if anyone are producing are thin game case if you really need it to be thin and compact, this still should fit in a bag or a coat pocket though
I use the Takecase switch carrying case which holds 29 games and then keep one of the Hori Cases in the top pocket which holds an additional 24. It might not be the slimmest solution but it works for me without being super bulky.

But in all honesty, I wouldn't suggest buying it just for this reason. The only reason I used this was because I already had everything at hand unused and just decided to bodge it all up, it's rather large and clunky but gets the job done without having to spend any more cash haha.
I got one of these that i put in my bag to work (or switch bag if taking dock etc)

Not 100% loss proof but helps and has lots of room for all the games
If you have a lot of physical games, pick up one of these cartridge cases up for sure. They’re a life saver for me. Compact and fit all my games that don’t fit into my case.
Also, i’d just get an extra set of joycons if you don’t have an extra set already. I’ve heard of drift problems and know it doesn’t make games unplayable, just annoying. If yours happens to do it and (assuming you’re originally in NA) you can’t send it in to get fixed right away, this way you’d still be able to play without an annoying drift issue.
Try the Hori Switch game case (Amazon link). Games fit according to this thread.
The one pictured by OP.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z
I probably wouldn't do it, because you might damage the contacts that way. I guess if you really wanted to, you could perhaps have them in some sort of individual sleeve/case, even if it's just a piece of paper, to avoid the contacts getting scratched (although, that might defeat the purpose of having them together in a pouch?).
Or at least have them held flat together in some way (rubber band?), to stop them scratching each other.
Personally, I just use Hori game cases (the 12 game one, but they also come in 24 game capacity) and smaller 4-game cases for more portability (or to lend games to people).
I have 2 of these:
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=switch+card+case+hori&qid=1554276238&s=videogames&sr=1-3
And 2 of these:

I believe you can also get small cases that hold 1 or 2 games. Maybe you could get a whole bunch of those, and carry those in your pouch?
For game cases, I've always wanted one of these(ordering it now in fact). It holds 12 cases. Problem is I have 13 physical right now, and by the end of the year I'll be around 18. So I'll need another one of these soon enough.
Now I don't keep the cartridges in the individual cases. The cases are more for display. For the game carts, I can't recommend this productenough! I have 1 and will be getting a 2nd when my physical library exceeds 24 games. It's cheap and holds 24 games nice and securely, or you can do 23 games and store an SD card in a slot.
If Nyko's scratched the screen, it's because you're doing it wrong. Off brand docks aren't limited to the same form factor as the official one, including options which make it more difficult to scratch anything, thus most are like that one there.
Correction, upon looking into it, it's apparently Nyko making the stand: amazon link incoming
Question, the one pictured there seems different from one on the Nyko pictures on the Amazon pre-order link:
https://smile.amazon.com/Nyko-Portable-Docking-Kit-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B071X7C1B4/ref=sr_1_6?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497884530&amp;sr=1-6&amp;keywords=nintendo+switch+dock
Any idea why?
>Split screen: Split screen is going to be the tournament standard at grass roots events, because we simply can't afford extra monitors nor the space for double screen set ups.
Space I can understand, but how are TVs more expensive than Switches? Each setup can have 2 $150(or less) TVs for the same price of a Switch. You would need the extra TVs for hosting any kind of Splatoon 2 tournament down the line, as well. Now that I think about that, extra TVs are essential for most tournaments that aren't fighting games.
> Having an open bracket with everyone sorting themselves out leads to a very disorganized tournament. Having a set amount of tournament set ups (usually numbered) give me more control of the event as a TO
An open bracket doesn't mean that suddenly everyone is running around willy nilly doing their own thing. I just meant for the brackets for non-seeded players. If it's a small tourney, the entire thing is open bracket. Also, you can still have numbered setups of TVs and docks. I don't know how a BYO set up would lose this.
Fairness is debatable, but New Players is a valid point, mostly from the perspective of entrants that share a single Switch with their siblings.
Stolen property is a risk for every event ever. It's a valid point only if you see it as your responsibility to stop it from happening, which you do. So fair enough.
You lost me on the streaming point because there should only be one or two spectator systems set as streaming systems even if we use the BYO system. The spectator machines never have to be changed out, they need only join the proper Arena for the match they wish to stream.
Docks is a somewhat valid point, but may be alleviated later this year when Nyko's dock releases, depending on its quality.
Amazon to the rescue!
That Dock is really portable - almost looks to small for my taste (too light), just like a small windblow might be able to push over the switch. I would feel a lot more comfortable with it laying flat.
I'll still hope HORI will make a nice high-quality portable dock.
At the moment, no. However, Nyko is going to sell a smaller third party dock for $45 in the future! Can't find a release date on their site, but Amazon lists it at $50 on October 3, 2017
> Some people like Nyko are engineering their own docks or dongles, but these will only work to charge the Switch or possibly provide ethernet unfortunately.
This is not true. The Nyko dock, unless they are lying to us, will provide TV display out. Directly from the Amazon product description: "Enable TV mode on the Nintendo Switch. Includes an HDMI cable for connecting to any TV on the go."
I understand people are used to third party adapters but they are more commonly problematic and this is coming from someone who has been watching it happen for 20 years working with electronics. Look at the reviews for Nyko on Amazon those issues right at the top are common for cellphones. Many cellphones are not compliant either nor do most third party adapters use "fast" chargers or proper protection to save money and make a cheaper less safe product. Either way its the consumers choice to use an unlicensed product and not the manufactures fault if said product does harm.

[Nyko] (https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Portable-Docking-Kit-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B071X7C1B4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1506493417&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=743840872252) is releasing a portable dock for the Switch. It isn't as small as I would like, but someone could definitely make a smaller one if they removed some of the USB ports or arranged them so they aren't all on the same side of the adapter.

Nyko Portable Docking Kit - Nintendo Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071X7C1B4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PtRWzbXHXSCSD
Coming soon. I'll be getting one.
If you read the amazon reviews there are a bunch of one star reviews from users having to send their Switches to Nintendo for repairs. Some consoles got bricked (freezes on the switch's splash screen) and some had their USBC ports fried. One user had used it for 2 weeks before it damaged the console.
Maybe these for when you're not playing in handheld mode: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-AA-Battery-Pack-switch/dp/B071XXXK2X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511999295&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=joycon+battery+pack
I wish I knew what brand I have but there’s no logo or anything written on them. Are you looking specifically for a rubberized cover? There’s those battery extenders on sale right now that add some extra grip. Nintendo Joy-Con AA Battery Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071XXXK2X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6o3iDbT2563VC
I recommend something like this then.
I think they're expecting people to buy and use the new battery grips that launch with the game.
I think the product is silly and bad (using disposable batteries to charge a joy-con), but a comfort grip for separated joy-cons would be nice.
Edit: joy-con battery pack
you dont need to use the grip or a pro controller.
i use the joy cons split and much prefer it to the pro controller.
i do use these to add size though.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-AA-Battery-Pack-switch/dp/B071XXXK2X
I find the "Joycon in each hand" thing to be super uncomfortable -- they don't have enough volume, maybe my hands are too big. They're fine attached to the switch, and i'm really glad that it came with the grip.
Maybe something like this will make them more comfortable -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071XXXK2X
ah okay, i misunderstood. have you thought about these? https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-AA-Battery-Pack/dp/B071XXXK2X
i've also seen people cut up a combined grip and attach them to the individual joy-cons to make a better grip that way.
I use the included wrist strap for a slightly better fit. You could also use the included grip for just the one JoyCon and still use them split. But if I were to buy an accessory, it would be a battery pack for both a heftier controller and the convenience of never having to charge the things attached to the Switch itself (cheap knockoffs also available).
Although the button layout on the Pro is a lot better, so it's great for that (and if there's ever any couch multiplayer).
> Make some new official grips for individual joycons for under $20 that makes them larger and more comfortable as individual controllers and allows them to be charged.

This is named Corrin Player 2, no idea if it is correct as the image is wrong.
Someone stated that they preordered an amiibo that they believed to be Female Corrin at GameStop about a week ago. There wasn't a name to the amiibo on their receipt, but they seemed sure that it was Female Corrin, but that was before we found out we were getting two of Cloud and Bayonetta.
There's no way that Target or TRU would get a Bayonetta figure (imo), so Best Buy or Gamestop seems likely. Corrin could go anywhere, but I think that placing Cloud or Bayonetta in stores like GS/BB would possibly get fans of the series to pick them up, even if they don't have a Nintendo console.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like Cloud (or Female Corrin?) may be an Amazon exclusive

I still dont like playing on the switch coming from pc, more of a novelty to me than anything else.
I would recommend getting a charging dock for the Joy Con if you'll have more than the base 2 pairs. The only way to charge the Joy Con is to have it connected to the system and in the dock (or the expensive charging grip). With a charging dock like (https://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-switch/accessories/nintendo-switch-joy-con-charging-dock/141872) here, for example, you can pop up to 4 joy con in there easily and charge them at any time.
Also, if they won't be playing the Switch docked and you want extra protection, there is a heavy duty rubberized hard case cover to protect it from drops. https://www.amazon.com/Mumba-Nintendo-Switch-Heavy-Rubberized-release/dp/B071ZRM6C1 <- like the one shown here.
Another thing to mention is that if you're looking for traditional controllers, you could buy 3rd party ones now for much cheaper than the pro controller (although the Pro controller is king). First option could be a cable for $16 that allows you to use your other console controllers with the Switch. https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
The other options are about $30 and luckily come in many styles, but the only caveat is that they are wired, like the one I'll mention next.
https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Controller-Plus-Super-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B075DNGDWM
Aside from that info, only other thing I'd say is that the physical game cartridges are small, about same size as a 3DS cartridge, so you'll have to plan that out accordingly. ;)

This is what I'll do and use my Xbox one controller
https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ/
I don't think there's a single device that will work with Switch and PS4/Xbox, you'll need a separate adapter depending on which console you're using.
You can buy an adapter to use your Xbox or ps4 controllers!
https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
Could you use a converter to plug in a wired Xbox controller?
Something like this : https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1542654028&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=switch+xbox+controller
You'd still have to play in handheld mode to remove the motion control requirement but at least you could have the switch on a table and interact with a normal controller.
this is the product https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
I use [this](fastsnail controller converter for nintendo switch, makes ps3/ps4 dualshock/xbox one controllers compatible with your switch, support vibration, with type-c otg cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZFPJLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_94gvCb1596DEE) and it works
It's still a DS4 stick placement, but if you're looking for smaller controllers, you can try the HORI Mini pads for PS4. They're OK for children, although I think they do lack the gyro
Then you can just add a converter to make it work. It also works with all XB360, XB1 and PS4 controllers so that can help saving money on controllers themselves as well.
The specific one I got isn't listed anymore. I think they might've replaced it with a newer model. This one looks identical though and it's the same price I paid for mine. I don't think it matters if it's an Xbox One or One S controller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
Non-referral link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZFPJLQ/
I have not tried it personally, but there are solutions like a dongle with a wired xbox 360 controller:
This would be the dongle:
https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
But I don't know if you can use 3rd party controllers with that.
there's also this one. wonder which one's better
It would be nice if they did but if anybody really needed it you can use this controller on PS4 and Switch as well already through the use of adapters.
https://www.amazon.com/FastSnail-Controller-Converter-Controllers-Compatible/dp/B073ZFPJLQ
Here is a Switch one.
I got something called a fastsnail adapter on Amazon and I can now use either a wired PS4 or XB controller. Works fairly well too. The problem isn't solely the joycons though. Even on 360 controller I can't half flip on the Switch, whereas it's easy on PC/Xbox.
I also use the Elite controller and utilize the paddles on the back, which is the #1 reason I've yet to buy the Switch.
Have you looked into anything like this? (This may be a solution for those of us who want to use another controller)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073ZFPJLQ/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
I got this more than a year ago and haven't had one problem the only thing is the two bottom left buttons like A,B are opposite on the switch so your xbox controller reads it backwards so you have to map those opposite.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073ZFPJLQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Think this is a good time to plug the American version on Amazon.
Allows you to use Xbox one, 360, Ps3 and Ps4 controllers on the Switch.
I'm currently using it with an Xbox One controller and it's amazing.
That D-pad looks pretty horrific. For a player 2 controller, I'd go with this adapter assuming you have an Xbox 360/One or Dual Shock controller. I got mine today and it's excellent. The only real downside is there's no gyro features, which is expected.

I prefer this adapter, it has analog joysticks and gyro support on PS4 controllers.
Here is a link to the product: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073ZFPJLQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505478623&amp;sr=8-6&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=switch+controller+adapter&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51fXcLKuuGL&amp;ref=plSrch. There are a bunch on amazon.
Here is a Link for the DIY kit for atomic purple.
Edit: Be sure to read reviews if interested. mixed reviews.
https://smile.amazon.com/BASSTOP-Replacement-Controller-Electronics-Joycon-Atomic/dp/B075JDRHV3 /u/markbro89 linked it somewhere else in here (thanks) wide variety of other colors available, just takes time to put them together.
Yeet
They're actually shells and new buttons! Here they work fine but feel a little bigger than stock joycons but still fit fine. Took me about 3 hours to complete
Like this?
Here you go
Uh shells as in the actual joycon or stuff to keep above it? I am a bit confused sorry, but if you mean shells to keep change the joycon color and all, check this out
https://www.amazon.com/BASSTOP-Replacement-Controller-Electronics-Joycon-Atomic/dp/B075JDRHV3
24$ only, under your budget, so I guess it is what you'd want?
You can just order the yellow ones, but mine were actually grey and I put yellow shells from Aliexpress, something like this. The green ones I got from Amazon here. However the Amazon ones lack quality, as in there is minor bulge and it doesn't close tightly, but maybe the fixed it by now(probably not). The replacement ones from Aliexpress I think are straight from the factory.
Mod them. My joycons and switch back are atomic purple.
BASSTOP replacement shells on amazon for 30 bucks. Takes a long time to mod them but its extremely worth it. I also got the shell with the left joycon having a D-Pad which is incredible for BOTW and the like.
heres the link for the shells my dude!
This one? It’s pretty much as thin as you can get while still protecting the joysticks.
I’m in search of a case for my switch. I don’t have any physical games, so no need for a sleeve to hold games. Would prefer slim and sturdy. Does anyone have this case?
It would bounce around a little if you don't have a grip in there. If you're going gripless then buy the tomtoc case designed for a bare switch:
https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Nintendo-Original-Hardshell-Cartridges-Accessory/dp/B07C3Z8FFC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=tomtoc+case+switch&amp;qid=1568501428&amp;sprefix=tomtoc+case+s&amp;sr=8-1
That's the same case you were looking at but doesn't hold a grip, just the Switch and 10 games. It's a very tight fit and the trade off is how thin the case is.
I'd still recommend the tomtoc + kingtop grip because you'll forget the grip is even on. You don't have to remove it to use any feature of your Switch and it adds a lot of protection.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C3Z8FFC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dGMZBbVD2H3YW
As someone who wants to bring their switch with them I've been really happy with this. Very little bulk and YKK zippers, so that made me happy. It's definitely much dirtier now because if the grey but I couldn't care less
Along with what Joshua said, I'm a huge fan of Death Squared and Human Fall Flat. I play with friends and we have a blast, we love the humor of the games and are always laughing at what everyone's doing in the games. Puyo Puyo Tetris is a great single or multiplayer puzzle game. Astro Bears Party is a quick, fun multiplayer game, I picked mine up on sale for under a dollar. All offline.
Crash Bandicoot is a difficult 2.5D platformer, if you haven't played and are into that. I like it, some levels do get a bit frustrating. Snake Pass is one of my favorite games, you control a snake and it very much relies on weird controls and puzzles you have to figure out, based on the weird controls. If you like Portal, you'll love Chromagun. It's like Portal but with colors. Celeste is a death-happy, 2D platformer with the difficulty set on hard. If you want a challenge, Celeste is your game. All offline, all single player.
Online - I just started playing Fortnite and Rocket League, both seem pretty fun so far. Fortnite is a free download, too!
I travel a lot and LOVE this case. It's super small, it has 8 game pouches(and you can probably double up games in each pouch
too), hardshell, water resistant, looks nice and sleek, and I feel safe with it. I'm also just not an accessory person though -- I have just my switch, 3 physical games, thumb grips(like these)(totally unnecessary, just a personal preference), a screen protector(I've heard putting the switch in/out of the dock can scratch the screen), and that case. The case also came with an accessories pouch, but I've never used it.
A dock at $60?! Pfft! Try $90 MSRP!
I agree with you one million percent, though. There is NO way the dock is worth nearly $100 after tax.
I have a pre-order in for the Nyko Portable Docking Kit, which I was luckily able to get for $44.99, before the price went up to $49.99.
Honestly, I still think even $45 is high, but I'm much more willing to pay $45 than $90.
If we were dealing with literally any other company, I'd agree that the JoyCons may go down in price as technology improves, demand decreases and manufacturing costs decrease. Since we are talking about Nintendo, though, I really doubt they'll drop the prices... ever.
Just look at how much a new Wii U Pro controller still costs today ($50+), for a "dead" console. I can get a new DualShock 4 on Amazon for less than that every day, often around $39.99.
> Displayport alternative mode(same one as the switch dock)
Switch and Samsung DeX don't support DisplayPort Alternate Mode. They use something else that is incompatible but still based on DisplayPort.
This is why none of the USB-C docks and HDMI adapters that laptops use can work with Switch.
Anyway, another alternative third-party dock that exists which you can still (pre-)order is this Nyko one.
The official splatoon headset has a device that combines 2 line audio sources into one output. It's used to combine voice chat audio from your phone with the switch audio. You could use it, with your computer instead of your phone.
I use this carrying case by Hori. It has room for extra cartridges. There should be other designs.
Choose my case poll!
Which one? Caseology, Hori, or Butterfox?

You could buy this third party one if you don't want to mess up your original. I kinda wish I had done that first but I was impatient ha.
No, the standard non-pack in grip is larger and rubberized. And also made by powerA but branded Nintendo too.
"The Comfort Grip is slightly wider than the original Joy-Con Grip."

Honestly I'd go with this. It's a screen cover that can be used as a stand

Official would probably be the best
I chose these powerA wireless controllers since I don't want to deal with cables. They have worked very well for months however if used extensively the control stick can start to drift. Also they don't contain rechargable batteries so you will have to change the batteries every two months or so.
The 8Bitdo Bros. adapters work great too, and are wireless. Only problem is you need one for each controller:

Out of stock, still exists.
Do the additional [Joy Con sets](Nintendo Joy-Con (L/R)-Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6QKT7H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3k1OybKQKCVZP) come with a Joy Con grip?
The D-pad on these are terrible. The Hori Dpad controllers are much better. https://www.amazon.com/HORI-D-Pad-Controller-Zelda-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01AJRN4CE?th=1
