The Switch 2 has finally landed, but it isn’t the only hardware Nintendo is launching this week. The company also introduced a range of new accessories for its new gaming console, the bulk of which are now available online at Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target. From a redesigned Pro Controller to a camera that lets you video chat with your friends, each is designed to level up your gaming experience.

Sadly, President Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff policy has resulted in slight price bumps on several Switch 2 accessories — including the aforementioned Pro 2 Controller. There’s no telling whether we can expect more price hikes down the line, either, meaning if you have secured a Switch 2 and want to pick up a second controller or another accessory to go with it, now might be the time to act.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

The removable Joy-Cons are great for portable and wireless play, but their small, curveless design can feel cramped during longer sessions if you have larger hands. That’s why the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller might be worth a look, especially if you mostly game in TV mode. The upgraded version of one of our favorite Nintendo Switch controller features a few welcome improvements, including a pair of rear GL and GR buttons players can use to remap other controls. Nintendo has also finally added a 3.5mm audio jack, allowing you to pair it with a headset or a set of wired headphones. The gamepad even features the aforementioned “C” button.

As of writing, you can pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller for $84.99 at Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Antonline. It’s also currently on sale at Costco for $74.99 ($10 off), though, per usual, you’ll need a premium membership to take advantage of the latter deal.

Joy-Con 2 controllers

Nintendo’s Joy-Con controllers are bigger than the original and snap onto the Switch 2 magnetically, eliminating the need for sliding rails. The right Joy-Con also features the new “C” button, which you can use to pull up Nintendo’s new in-game chat system, GameChat, which will be free until March 31st, 2026. While the second-gen controllers don’t feature Hall effect joysticks, Nintendo says they’ve been redesigned for smoother movement. The Joy-Con 2s also feature new optical sensors, which let you them like mice in compatible games.

The Switch 2 comes with a pair of Joy-Cons, but if you want a second pair, you can currently grab them for around $94 at Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and the My Nintendo Store.

Joy-Con 2 Wheel (set of two)

If you plan on picking up the new Mario Kart World — or you were lucky enough to snag Nintendo’s limited time bundle — the Joy-Con 2 Wheels are worth a look. Simply snap the Joy-Con 2 controllers, which connect magnetically, into the steering wheel attachments before booting up your preferred racing title. The two-wheel set is currently available for around $24.88 from Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Nintendo.

Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector

The Switch 2 is a pricey gadget you’ll want to keep safe, so it’s a good idea to invest in a carrying case like the Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector. We’ll likely see a wealth of third-party brands release their own version in the coming weeks, but Nintendo’s proprietary offering is one of the few reputable offerings available at launch.

The bundle — which includes a console-only carrying case, screen protector, and cleaning cloth — is only available for around $39.88 at Walmart and Target, even if it was originally available elsewhere.

Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case

Nintendo also just launched an All-In-One Carrying Case, which is more spacious than the model mentioned above. The higher-end case features separate compartments for stowing the console and various goodies, including the Switch 2 dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, cables, and up to six game cards.

Unfortunately, while it was initially available at most big-name retailers (including Walmart and GameStop), it’s currently only available directly from Nintendo for $84.99.

Nintendo Switch 2 Camera

Supposedly, you can video chat with friends via GameChat using any compatible USB-C camera, but Nintendo offers its own solution in the form of the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera. The 1080p camera is designed to sit on a stand, allowing you to display your face as a picture-in-picture overlay or as a dedicated video feed. A few titles, such as the upgraded version of Super Mario Party Jamboree, let you see your friends on-screen while you play. Some mini-games even incorporate the camera into the game experience itself.

The camera features an adjustable wide-angle lens, designed to capture groups of people in a single shot, as well as a “high-sensitivity image sensor” that automatically adjusts brightness levels. It also features a built-in privacy shutter and includes a USB-C charging cable, as well as support for TV, tabletop, and handheld modes.

You can currently order it for around $54 from Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Nintendo.

Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip

Unlike the standard Joy-Con 2 grip that comes with the Switch 2, Nintendo’s so-called Charging Grip features customizable GL and GR buttons — just like the Switch 2 Pro Controller — and can be used to charge your Joy-Cons via an included USB-C cable. Otherwise, it appears pretty similar in functionality to the original Switch’s charging grip, allowing you to combine the Joy-Con 2 controllers for a more traditional gamepad.

Right now, you can pick up the Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip starting at $39.88 from Walmart, GameStop, and Nintendo.

Other Switch 2 accessories

Nintendo also released a handful of smaller accessories this week, including Joy-Con 2 straps, AC adapters, and a standalone dock set for those who want a second. They can be found via the retailers below in most instances.

Update, June 5th: Updated to reflect current pricing and availability, as well as the release of several new accessories.
