Hori isn't the only brand out there making the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories with access to official licenses to create products based on Nintendo properties like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and naturally, Super Mario. You've got Turtle Beach and PowerA to contend with too. It is, however, behind some of my favorite official accessories released since the Switch 2 came into existence.
The brand has been consistently releasing cases, controllers, and even grip controllers since the original Switch console era, but the slew of Switch 2 accessories is some of the most adorable and uniquely designed in the brand's lineup. While others tend to focus on re-using old Nintendo key art as found on a range of past products, Hori consistently gets its hands on unique art that makes its products stand out from the rest.
Every inch of these products tends to have care put into its design, including matching colored interiors and even zippers in the shape of the Pokemon they're based on, like the upcoming Ditto Carry All Case. Naturally, these officially licensed goodies are priced higher than their plain Hori counterparts, and in the case of the controllers, they can sometimes be missing the impressive battery and NFC-reading tech found with Pro controller alternatives. But the robust build quality of the spooky and adorable Gengar and Mimikyu Vault Case, or the brand's adorably dainty Eevee Cottage Core Puff Pouch, are proof that it's not all style over substance.
As the cute and cozy Switch 2 accessory-obsessed member of the GamesRadar+ hardware team, I regularly cover Hori's officially licensed goods, and have included a slew of my favorites down below. That way, you can easily see their spread of cute goodies for yourself, and I'll be adding to this as the months go on, as there's plenty more cute where they came from.
My personal top Hori Switch 2 accessory picks
Gengar and Mimikyu 24-Game Card Case
Game card cases are a very niche accessory. No one actually needs one, especially as many of the best Nintendo Switch 2 cases include storage for plenty of physical game carts. However, I love Hori's trend to launch these niche extras alongside their collections, like this 24 Game Card Case, which is part of the Gengar and Mimikyu line-up of accessories.
It's small and compact enough to fit into practically every purse and handbag I own, and its transparent chassis is a nostalgia-fueled reminder of my translucent Game Boy Color I used to play the original Pokemon games back in the 90s. I'm also a huge fan of the fact that the design of the case matches perfectly with the Gengar and Mimikyu Vault Case, so if you have both, you can better unify your setup. As a spooky ghost-type fan, this little case is as cute as it gets.
Eevee Cottage Core Switch 2 Puff Pouch
I'm always going to prefer hardshell cases first and foremost as they offer the most protection for my pricey Ninty tech. However, the Eevee Cottage Core Puff Pouch case is so sickeningly cute that I've used it plenty to carry my handheld around the house or to a nearby friend's abode.
That's all thanks to its adorable design, which features a cream colored background with dainty illustrations of Eevee throughout. It reminds me of a picnic basket, which feels very on-brand for a line with "cottage core" in the name.
The Puff Pouch is also pretty deceiving in the best possible way, as it can pack in far more than you'd expect. I can fit my Switch 2, six physical games, and even my official AC adapter and charging cable. In fact, I've even used mine to store my Gengar and Mimikyu Game Card Case too, which is too big for other slimline cases.
