The short answer
Start with the basics: a screen protector and a case. The amFilm OneTouch glass goes on straight in about 30 seconds, and the tomtoc Slim Case keeps the console safe in a bag with room for 12 game cards. On a budget, the officially licensed PowerA Slim Case has a built-in play stand.
Running out of space? The Switch 2 only works with microSD Express cards for games. Older microSD cards won’t do. The Samsung P9 Express 256GB is made for Switch 2 and doubles your storage.
If you play on the TV, the official Switch 2 Pro Controller is the upgrade you’ll feel most, with HD Rumble 2, a GameChat button and two back buttons you can map. Every pick here says Switch 2 on the Amazon listing, so it fits the new, larger console.

Quick tips before you buy
The Switch 2 is bigger than the original, so old cases and screen protectors won’t fit.
Switch 2 games need a microSD Express card. Regular microSD cards can’t run them.
A cheap glass protector and a case cost less than a single game and save a lot of worry.
A charging grip keeps your Joy-Con 2 topped up during long sessions on the couch.
Quick answers
What accessories do I need for the Nintendo Switch 2?+
Most people should get a screen protector and a carrying case first. Add a microSD Express card if you buy digital games, and a Pro Controller if you play on the TV a lot.
Can I use my old microSD card in the Switch 2?+
Not for games. The Switch 2 needs a microSD Express card to store and run games. Look for “microSD Express” and Switch 2 on the listing, like the Samsung P9 Express.
Do original Switch cases fit the Switch 2?+
No. The Switch 2 is larger, with a 7.9-inch screen, so original Switch cases and screen protectors don’t fit. Buy ones that say Switch 2 compatible.
Is the Switch 2 Pro Controller worth it?+
If you play docked on a TV, yes. It is more comfortable than Joy-Con 2 for long sessions and adds HD Rumble 2, a GameChat button and two mappable back buttons. Handheld players can skip it.
How did you pick these accessories?+
Our picks are based on Amazon listing specs and owner reviews. We chose well-known brands whose listings say they work with Switch 2.
