The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5th, alongside an array of new accessories aimed at enhancing the gaming experience. Gamers can already preorder many of these accessories through major retailers such as Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. The lineup includes a redesigned Pro Controller, carrying cases, and even a camera that enables video chats.
However, the implementation of fluctuating tariffs has caused minor price increases on several accessories, notably the Pro 2 Controller. Consequently, potential buyers may want to consider preordering sooner rather than later to avoid further price hikes.
Where to preorder controllers
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller
The Joy-Con controllers provide excellent portability, but their smaller size can make extended gaming sessions uncomfortable for some users. The new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller addresses this by offering a more ergonomic design and additional features. It includes rear GL and GR buttons for customizable controls, and a 3.5mm audio jack for headset connectivity has finally been integrated, catering to players who prefer wired audio. Enthusiasts can preorder the Pro Controller for approximately $84 at Walmart and Best Buy. GameStop will initiate online preorders at 11 AM ET on April 24th.
Joy-Con 2 Wheel (set of two)
If you’re excited about the new Mario Kart World, the Joy-Con 2 Wheels can enhance your racing experience. These steering wheel attachments securely hold the Joy-Con controllers, allowing for a more immersive gameplay experience. You can preorder the set for around $24.88 at Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. GameStop will also launch preorders on April 24th at 11 AM ET.
Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector
Safeguarding your new console is essential, especially given its price tag. The Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector bundle includes a console-only case, a protector for the screen, and a cleaning cloth. This official set is advantageous as third-party alternatives may not be immediately available. The preorder price starts at $39.99 from Best Buy and Target. GameStop will offer preorders at the same time as the other retailers on April 24th.
Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case
This All-In-One Carrying Case is designed to accommodate not only the console but also the Switch 2 dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, cables, and up to six game cards. This spacious case offers greater versatility for gamers who like to travel. Preorders are available for around $84 from Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. GameStop preorders will be available on April 24th at 11 AM ET as well.
Where to preorder the Switch 2 Camera
Nintendo’s new camera offers a built-in feature for video chatting through GameChat, utilizing compatible USB-C cameras. The proprietary Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, capable of 1080p resolution, is designed for a seamless user experience. This camera can be adjusted for a wide-angle view and includes a high-sensitivity image sensor to optimize brightness. Gamers can preorder this accessory for around $54 at Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. Additional preorders will be available through GameStop at the same time as the other retailers.
