The countdown is on—just a few weeks left until the highly anticipated launch of the Nintendo Switch 2! But that’s not all happening on June 5th. Nintendo is also rolling out a fresh lineup of accessories designed to elevate your gaming experience, and many of these items are now available for preorder at major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target.
From a redesigned Pro Controller to new cases and even a nifty camera for video chatting with friends, these accessories are perfect for gearing up ahead of the Switch 2’s release. However, keep in mind that recent tariff policies have caused slight price increases on some accessories, including the new Switch 2 Pro Controller. With potential future price hikes on the horizon, now might be the best time to secure your preorders—especially if you’re eyeing extra controllers or accessories to go with your new console.
**Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller**
While the standard Joy-Cons are great for portability and wireless gaming, their small, curved design can become uncomfortable during longer play sessions, especially for gamers with larger hands. That’s where the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller comes in. Perfect for TV mode gaming, this upgraded controller features several welcome improvements, such as rear remappable buttons (GL and GR), a 3.5mm audio jack for wired headphones or headsets, and the addition of a “C” button for more control options.
Preorder the Switch 2 Pro Controller now for $84.99 at retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, and Target. Walmart initially had it available, but their preorder stock has sold out for now.
**Joy-Con 2 Wheel Set**
Planning to dive into Mario Kart World? The Joy-Con 2 Wheel set is a must-have. Simply snap your Joy-Con controllers into these magnetic steering wheel attachments and get ready to race. This set is currently available for preorder at $24.99 from major stores like Best Buy, GameStop, and Target.
**Switch 2 Carrying Cases and Screen Protectors**
Since the Switch 2 is a premium device, protecting your investment is essential. The Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector bundle offers a sturdy case, screen protector, and cleaning cloth—ideal for keeping your console safe on the go. Priced at $39.99, you can preorder it now from GameStop and Target. While third-party options are expected soon, Nintendo’s official accessories are likely to be among the first available at launch.
**All-In-One Carrying Case**
For those who need more space, Nintendo’s upcoming All-In-One Carrying Case offers ample storage with dedicated compartments for the console, dock, extra controllers, cables, and up to six game cards. This more spacious option is available for preorder at $84.99 from GameStop, arriving just in time for launch.
**Nintendo Switch 2 Camera and Video Chat**
Want to stay connected with friends? Nintendo’s dedicated Switch 2 Camera is designed for video chatting via GameChat. It features a 1080p wide-angle lens—perfect for capturing groups—plus a built-in privacy shutter and a high-sensitivity image sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. The camera can be used in TV, tabletop, or handheld modes and comes with a USB-C charging cable. Some games, like the upgraded Super Mario Party Jamboree, even incorporate the camera into gameplay, letting you see your friends or yourself on-screen.
