Knowing which Nintendo Switch 2 accessories you actually need from day one, can be confusing. Especially when the new console is compatible with plenty of the best Switch accessories already out there, and Nintendo has a big range of new first-party goodies already out on the shelves.
Whether or not you need to have any of the best Switch 2 accessories from day one all depends on how you plan to use your console. If you play a lot of AAA titles, a microSD Express card is going to go a long way, but those who stick to smaller indie releases and archiving their new virtual game cards will be fine with the 256GB worth of onboard storage, for now.
Additionally, anyone who finds the Joy-Con uncomfortable will get a lot of use out of a wireless controller. Grabbing a high-quality USB-C camera will also go a long way in improving the quality of hangouts over the new Switch 2 GameChat feature. But at the same time, cutting down on the amount of extras you grab for your new console can save a lot of cash.
No one really needs to grab any accessories from the get-go, as the Switch 2 comes with everything you need to get it set up on day one. However, if you want to get more value out of the new gaming handheld and keep it protected straight from the get-go, I've narrowed down the most important accessories and how they can improve your time with the Switch 2.
