The best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories for 2025

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-18 00:00:37

The Switch 2 Pro controller is the best controller Nintendo has ever made – and that’s saying something. It’s incredibly comfortable to hold, its joysticks are buttery smooth, and all of its buttons are wonderfully responsive. Nintendo even made it customizable this time with rear buttons that can easily be mapped inside of any game. The only downside? The Switch 2 Pro Controller costs $85, which seems a bit egregious when you can get an excellent controller like 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 wireless ga

The Switch 2 is officially out in the wild, but the launch lineup is a bit thin. Mario Kart World is great, of course, but I'm missing a legitimate 3D platformer. That's where Donkey Kong Bananza comes in. Nintendo has announced a Direct livestream for its next first-party game, scheduled for June 18 at 9AM ET. It'll stream live via Nintendo's official YouTube account. We've put an embed below, so feel free to keep this page bookmarked for Wednesday morning. We'll be watching and will pull out

The Switch 2 Proves Nintendo Never Misses on Music

Nintendo is a lot of things to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. Mario helps, and so do the host of other iconic first-party titles and the movies, toys, theme parks, and endless other IP offshoots they spawned. But beyond how Nintendo looks and plays and sells, it also has a sound, and thanks to the Switch 2, that sound is just as iconic as ever this time around.

Norbauer Seneca review: a $3,600 luxury keyboard for the keyboard obsessed

Some people can tell great wine from okay wine. They go on wine tastings, take wine tours. They tend to spend more money on wine than most. I am not one of those people. I can tell wine from vinegar if you show me the bottle. I am just a little bit obsessed with keyboards, though.

At over 3.5 million units sold in just four days, the Nintendo Switch 2 is now the fastest-selling game console of all time, and shows no signs of stopping, with some retailers still having trouble keeping them in stock. This is all despite the jaw-dropping $450 price tag that kept some consumers from clicking "Add to Cart."

Nintendo Switch 2 review: exactly good enough

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2026-03-18 13:00:00

The first Switch was such a hit that Nintendo decided not to mess with a good thing. Instead of releasing a successor that feels like a generational leap or a pivot in a new direction, it’s following up the hugely successful original with the Switch 2 — a welcome upgrade that largely sticks to the formula. It looks about the same, works about the same, and plays most of the same games. It’s the Switch, just better. Nintendo’s bet is that it doesn’t have to wow people all over again, and so it m

Answering the Nintendo Switch 2’s lingering accessibility questions

One of the biggest surprises of the Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal was its proposed accessibility. For years, Nintendo has been known for accidentally stumbling on accessibility solutions while stubbornly refusing to engage with the broader subject. Yet, in the Switch 2, there appeared a more holistic approach to accessibility for which disabled players have been crying out. This was supported by a webpage dedicated to the Switch 2’s hardware accessibility. However, specifics were thin and no furth

Nintendo Switch 2 The Switch 2 isn't as exciting or innovative as you might want or expect from the big N, but it proves that even when Nintendo plays it safe, there's still a unique magic to be found. I wasn’t going to buy a Nintendo Switch 2.

The Switch 2 gives Splatoon 3 a fantastically fresh coat of paint

theverge.com Charles Pulliam-Moore 2026-03-19 16:05:00

Splatoon 3 already looked phenomenal on the original Switch, in a way that seemed to defy the console’s hardware limitations. The game’s paint-slicked visuals were gorgeous, and its chaotic battles were a testament to how well the Switch could run software that was fine-tuned to make the best of its specs. What was most impressive, though, was the way Splatoon 3 kept refreshing itself for years after its initial 2022 release with a steady stream of new clothes, weapons, stages, and a nifty DLC e

Switch 2: Switch Harder. Sure, that's a glib summation of one of the most eagerly anticipated games console launches of all time, but it is, nevertheless, apt. The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't the sort of generational leap PlayStations or Xboxes offer, but rather a refinement of what's worked for the last eight years. In short, it elevates, hones, and polishes almost every facet of the original Switch to deliver what is almost its ultimate form. The similarities are apparent from the moment you open
