Many people are about to get their hands on some fresh cash as gifts for the upcoming Christmas holiday, and that means shopping is about to get another boost.
If you’re a Nintendo Switch user, then iDB has curated a list of some recommended accessories and games you should hit up to augment your gaming experience. We’ll start first with the accessories and outline the games toward the end of the post.
Accessories
Anker 20,000 mAh power bank
If you’re a mobile gamer and the Nintendo Switch is your go-to game platform, then a USB-C-supported power bank like this 20,000 mAh beast from Anker is your best bet to ensure you can game throughout the day without any interruptions.
The supported 20W power delivery over USB-C is more than enough to power a Nintendo Switch in non-docked mode, so game on! You can even use it with your smartphone or other devices if needed.
Currently, this handy power bank is 16% off.
Amazon Basics HDMI cable
The Amazon Basics brand has earned a reputation for its functional reliability and wallet-friendly price tag, and this HDMI cable definitely won’t disappoint.
Whether you’re planning to use this cable for a Nintendo Switch in docked mode or not, its bandwidth is capable of 8K resolution at 60fps. The Nintendo Switch will never get anywhere near these demands, so it’ll rip through your uses with ease.
SanDisk microSD card
Storage is something that Nintendo Switch users can’t get enough of. Games certainly aren’t small, so they’ll chew through the internal storage space like there’s no tomorrow.
With an official Nintendo-licensed microSD card from SanDisk, you’ll know that the card is formatted and built to spec so that it runs as efficiently as possible on the Switch platform.
The 128GB red Mario mushroom version of this microSD card is currently 50% off.
PowerA Fusion Pro Wireless Controller
For a step above the standard Nintendo Switch Pro Controller user experience, consider the PowerA Fusion Pro Wireless Controller, which not only feels nicer in the hand, but offers more controls thanks to the underside programmable paddle buttons.
Just like the original, this one charges over USB-C and works like an OEM controller.
Get it for 28% off for a limited time.
Joy Con Charging Grip
Get an official Nintendo-licensed charging grip for your Joy-Con controllers that offers an integrated USB-C port for keeping your Joy-Cons powered up when not in use.
This is the Japan version, but it works fine with U.S. Joy-Cons and is being offered at a nice discount when compared to the price of the U.S. version.
