Compatibility first. The Switch 2 is larger than the original Switch, so cases, screen protectors and grips must be made for Switch 2. Storage must be microSD Express. Original Switch controllers and most original Switch games do work.
Switch 2 Pro Controller
For longer sessions on the TV. Adds two rear buttons and a headphone jack.
A Switch 2 carrying case and screen protector
Must be made for Switch 2 — original Switch cases won't fit.
microSD Express card
For digital game libraries. Ordinary microSD cards can't store Switch 2 games. See our storage guide.
An extra pair of Joy-Con 2
For four-player games, or to give siblings their own controllers.
A party game for the family
Mario Kart World and party games get the most use with several players. See couch co-op games.
A Nintendo eShop gift card
Lets them choose digital games or a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
