The Nintendo Switch 2 itch finally came for my fiancé once Pokemon Pokopia was a thing, which meant I was overrun with "what accessories should I buy?" questions. As someone who tests the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories practically every day, this did not bother me in the slightest. In fact, I felt in my element deciding on what new Ninty goodies best suited my partner's needs.
I could have easily reminded him of my author page here on GamesRadar+ and sent him on his merry way, but instead, I picked out a range of accessories that suited him best. While you most definitely are not my husband-to-be, you never know if what works for him will work for you. Like the Samsung 256GB microSD Express Card, which I informed him is the best bet for some extra storage. Its $59.99/ £44.99 price tag is the lowest you'll get for that amount of storage, and it comes with a cute Mario design too. I also directed him to the Donkey Kong Play Trek Switch 2 case, which features a unique lenticular design that moves depending on how you look at it.
The case was clearly the winner from the whole lot, as it was the first thing he showed off to my in-laws when revealing to them his new, shiny Switch 2. Additionally, I made sure to get him to pick up an extra pair of Joy-Con straps. You get a pair with the console, but it's easily lost, and it makes the mouse controls with Pokopia a lot easier to control. Plus, they just so happen to fit in the accessory pocket of that Donkey Kong case. I love it when a plan comes together.
