Aside from what I thibk are essentials (screen protector, case) a pro controller actually feels really nice so get one of you have some extra cash on you.

I mostly prefer playing handheld in bed but I also like using the TV sometimea. So I bought an extra charger so I don't have to keep switching out the charger from the dock.

Homespot Bluetooth adapter. It’s very small so it has a tiny footprint and works with almost any wireless headphones. Super easy to set up and use.

A 256 Samsung EVO micro SD card

Guilty pleasure: Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. Make sure to get the season pass.

Screen protector?

8bitdo joypads are great and much smaller/cheaper than Pro controllers for sticking in your bag. No adapter needed either as they pair directly with your Switch and show up as a pro controller.

Get a glass screen protector ASAP and the rest are optional. A case if you want to travel with your switch and pro controller if you are planning to play some action games.

I wouldn't say you need it, as long as you're careful with your switch. I've had mine for around a year and a half with no protector, and there's been no scratches, at least not on the screen.

Glass screen protector. Stop what you're going and get it now.

Pro-Controller

Screen Protector

Carry case for traveling

The Pokemon ball attachment comes with a code for Mew.

If you plan on playing Smash at all, whatever controller you're most comfortable with, but most Smash players will evangilise the GameCube controller.

Games in order I recommend:

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Super Mario Odyssey

Super Smash Bros.

Mario Kart 8

Yoshi's Crafted World

Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker

Then any multiplatform game you're excited to be able to take on vacation with you, mine:

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I have a PC that can rock it at 1440p Ultra settings, but being able to take it on vacation is worth the graphical downgrade.

Dark Souls Remastered.

Cuphead. I actually only have this one on Switch.

I'm gonna echo the "tempered glass screen protector" comments... because it's that important.

satisfye gaming grip if you plan on playing portable alot.

My favorite accessories are made by this small independent business called Human Things. They make the “Genki” which is a Bluetooth adapter that allows you to connect your wireless headphones, and also comes with a brilliant portable stand and microphone for voice chat that plugs in to the aux port. It’s all packaged in a case that looks identical to other Switch games too!

They also make a product called the “Covert dock” which is the most portable dock / charger you’ll find. They did extensive research to ensure the dock matches all specifications and authored a paper explaining why other third party docks can be dangerous / brick your console. The one they make is high quality and you don’t need to worry about that risk. It also comes with global travel adapters.

Aside from those two accessories, WaterField (aka SF Bags) makes some brilliant Switch cases made from premium materials - stylish and mature designs made from high quality materials that will last far longer than the console itself!

My advice is to do your research on all accessories and that you get what you pay for. Don’t solely look for the cheapest accessories you can find, as that could lead to damage of different sorts or just a simple waste of money.

Emphatically this. It's expensive, but once you have one you never want to play any other way. I even prefer handheld mode with the pro controller.

Skull & co. grip. A "must" for handhelders.

I just got mine yesterday and will never go back to joycons. The sticks are so sweet. Way more comfortable in my hands to.

Yeah, that's one thing that kinda sucks about it, although I consider it a net positive since it's still a lot better than the flimsy one on the Switch.

The analog stick pads they include are also a minor tradeoff, where I like the extra grip given to me on the sticks, but the left one makes it harder to press the - button (thankfully this isn't used often in much).

Handheld would be impossible for me, due to the size of my hands, if it weren't for them. Just wish they had thought of a scratchless model earlier.

It's a very nice controller, I just wish it (well, mine at least) didn't suffer from the dodgy d-pad and false joystick inputs :-(

I would highly recommend the Skull and Co. grip if you play in handheld mode. It has customizable hand grips, and it comes with a carrying case that fits the Switch with the grip case on.

Screen protector (get this early), pro controller (for playing docked and for competitive games), a satisfye grip with corresponding carrying case (especially if you’re getting older), and an extra charger cord (so you can leave one plugged into your dock and take the other with you when you’re out and about).

The Satisfye grip, easily the best thing I’ve purchased for the switch, especially if you play mostly handheld

The Pro Controller is excellent for playing docked. Genki makes neat dock built into a power brick. I wouldn’t say anything outside of what you have is necessary.

Flip grip to play some shmups and other games on vertical mode

Yes. Check out “does it flip?” Page for flip grip. They keep track of titles that use it

My favorite accessory is my pro controller, followed by my Skull grip. I also really like having a spare Nintendo charger so that I can plug it in while playing handheld if needed.

Lost me at starter kit. the only thing good out of it is the case.

I like how 6 of the ‘items’ on the list are from the same item

As someone who owns / ordered the starter kit I can say for 100% that the joycon guards kinda wear down the joycons’ little clips that keeps them docked to the console which is REALLY BAD, I had to buy 2 extra pairs because of this.

2nd thing to note is that the earplugs sound quality is sub-par to 1998 Nokia cellphone speakers.

Aside from that, everything else included in the starter kit is great for new switch owners.

None. Thats why they are accesories; accesories arent must have.

This is a terrible list. Don’t waste your time watching.

Skull & Co grips

Screen protector

8bitdo adapter if you already have a ps4\ps5 controller

Biggest possible micro SD card you can afford

Mod chip. Screen protector. Bigger SD card carry case.

Pro controller for sure. Also, get better joy-con replacements with bigger buttons and joysticks.

To play on TV ..... Pro controller. And a large micro SD. 512GB recommend.

Welcome to the family

The number one thing you need is a good carrying case.

The switch OLED comes with a plastic screen protector applied so unless you regularly smash your screens, you probably won’t need a screen protector.

A stylus can s good if you plan to play games like Mario maker.

And finally a pro controller is good for playing on the tv but the joycons are perfectly usable and I my opinion they are not as uncomfortable as everyone says.

I got the skull and co case and that's been absolutely amazing for handheld mode. I also got the pro controller after using a cheap knock off for a but and wow it's so amazing!!

Pokéball plus, GameCube Controller and adapter, HORI DPad Controller, Splatoon 2 soft case

I have the handheld switch grip comfort for the whole system. Not those cheap gel ones. One that feels more like an actual controller. Great for handheld and my hand doesn't cramp up anymore. (Fu old age)

If you have Pokémon Let’s Go and play Pokémon Go on your phone the pokéball plus is really cool

Hands down the best money I ever spent on my Switch was the Pro Controller. Boring or not, it's the single best investment I can recommend for the Switch.

https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Adjustable-Charging-Stand/dp/B07D12JGBB

Its a small charging dock that doubles as a more reliable stand than the one attached to the switch. Small form factor makes it super convenient for traveling.

Screen protector. My partner and I both have had Switches for the better part of a year and the only other thing either of us has felt like we needed was a travel case, but you said that you won't be taking it on th go. If you're going to be getting games digitally, you'll want an SD card.

I got my husband a switch for christmas and here's my experience in the past 24 hours:

•the switch console itself - comes with two joycons to support play with one or two people. Bundles don't do much to help the price ad the game ends up being about the same price as if you bought it separately. Comes with the console, a pair of joycons, a dock, two wrist straps for the joycons, and a comfort grip that DOES NOT charge the joycons. ~$300

•extra joycons - these are nice to have but if you don't have a large group of friends I would say hold off. The only reason my husband got them is because we have a friend living with us at the moment and he brings his girlfriend over and we all like to hang out together. These are opinion based on if you need strting out or not. ~$70/set

•screen protector - this is an absolute must because the dock can scratch the plastic screen very easily. I reccomend a tempered glass one as they are very durable. ~$10/2-pack

•micro sd card - a 64gb sd card should hold you over for a long while but isn't immediately necassary if you are doing physical copies of games. Remember, it doesn't have to be nintendo brand. ~$12

•pro controller - not necassary starting out since the grip that comes with the console works fine for holding the joycons like a normal controller if it's docked and obviously you've got the joycons attached to the system if it isn't. ~$60

•accessories - i advise waiting on accessories like the amazon bundle you saw until you get a feel for the system itself and see what you would actually use with it and is necassary. Less wasted funds and space in your room. ~$30+

Obviously prices do not include tax there but the essentials come out to about $310 plus the price of however many games you want.

Pro Controller, Screen Protector and at minimum 128GB SD CD card ($20 on Amazon). Get the pro controller worth the price.

I’ve wondered this myself I don’t find the controller adapter for the joycon uncomfortable at all but using it in hand Hel is quite uncomfortable leading me to believe the controller grip for handheld to be very important as I’ve heard so much about Zelda being better in hand held

It doesn't come with an SD card. It does have internal memory and if you're mostly going to be playing smallish indie games then you'll be able to have a decent number installed at a time. You can also just alternate which ones are actively installed on your Switch if you do hit your limit. You can always add an SD card at any time if you end up wanting to have several larger games on you Switch at time.

Pro Controller, Screen Protector, Adjustable Switch Stand.

Howdy, I’m willing to buy BOTW and animal crossing for asking.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
