Every video game console needs ample storage, and the Switch 2 comes with a built-in 256GB. However, if you're looking to expand your storage further, a regular microSD card won't suffice. The Switch 2 requires a microSD Express card, which have been scarce until now. To meet the demand, Samsung and Nintendo have collaborated to produce a special Mario-themed microSD Express card, available in a 256GB size at launch.

Joy-Con 2 controllers are the primary input for the Nintendo Switch 2. While they are compatible with the original Switch's Joy-Cons, using them isn't ideal. Original Joy-Cons cannot wake the Switch 2 from sleep mode, nor can they attach for handheld play. The new Joy-Con 2, on the other hand, boast new features like mouse functionality, a team chat button, and a magnetic attachment system.

If you need to replace one of the Joy-Con 2 that come with the Switch 2, you can purchase the left or right ones individually.

While Joy-Cons are perfect for handheld mode, when playing on a TV, the Pro Controller is the go-to choice. The Switch 2 Pro Controller is similar to the original but with the added ability to wake the Switch 2 from sleep mode and a GameChat button, mirroring the Joy-Con 2. Plus, it charges in half the time, making it even more convenient.

For those planning to play Switch 2 online with friends, consider getting the Switch 2 camera. It allows you to broadcast your face during Team Chat sessions and aids in identifying players during local multiplayer games, such as Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV.

If you plan to play your Switch 2 in handheld mode or travel with it, protecting your hybrid console with a case is essential. Nintendo offers two options: a slim case that includes a screen protector, ideal for on-the-go handheld play, and an All-in-One case large enough to store the Switch 2 console, dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, cables, and up to six Game Cards. The All-in-One case also comes with a screen protector and a cleaning cloth.
