The Best Nintendo Switch Accessories

The top-rated nintendo switch accessories on Amazon UK right now: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (best overall), The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (runner-up), EA SPORTS FC 26 Standard Edition Switch (best value). All are ranked by genuine customer ratings and review volume, with live Amazon prices.

A few cheap accessories make a big difference to Switch life. A microSD card is close to essential, since the console fills up fast with downloads, and a good carry case protects it on the go for very little. Official Joy-Cons are pricey but hard to beat for reliability, while third-party cases and grips offer great value. Always check compatibility with your exact model, because the standard, OLED and Lite differ, especially for cases and docks.

Frequently asked questions

What size microSD card is best for the Switch?

A 128GB card is the sweet spot for most players, holding plenty of downloaded games without overspending. Heavy downloaders may want 256GB or more. Official Nintendo-branded microSD cards work well, but any reputable high-speed UHS-I card, such as SanDisk Ultra, is fully compatible and often cheaper.

Do I need a case for my Nintendo Switch?

If you ever take it out of the house, yes. A hard-shell carry case protects the screen and stores game cards for very little money. Well-reviewed third-party cases from brands like Orzly do the job as well as pricier options, just confirm it fits your standard, OLED or Lite model.

Are third-party Joy-Cons and controllers any good?

Many are excellent value and well rated, though official Nintendo Joy-Cons remain the most reliable for features like HD rumble and precise motion. For a spare or a child, a good third-party pad saves money; for the best experience, official controllers are worth it.
