Nintendo\u2019s next-gen Pro Controller introduces some welcome additions to one of the best gamepads around.<\/figcaption><\/p><\/figure>\n

We\u2019re now just a few weeks away from the release of the Switch 2<\/a>, but it isn\u2019t the only hardware launching on June 5th. Soon, Nintendo will also release a variety of new accessories for its upcoming gaming console, the bulk of which are now available for preorder at Walmart<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, GameStop<\/a>, and Target<\/a> ahead of their release. From a redesigned Pro Controller<\/a> and cases<\/a> to a camera that lets you video chat<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with<\/span> your friends, each is designed to level up your gaming experience.<\/p>\n

Sadly, President Trump\u2019s on-again, off-again tariff policy has resulted in slight price bumps<\/a> on several Switch 2 accessories \u2014 including the aforementioned Pro 2 Controller. There\u2019s no telling whether we can expect more price hikes down the line, either, meaning if you do manage to preorder a Switch 2 and want to pick up a second controller or another accessory to go with it, now might be the time to act.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller<\/h3>\n

The removable Joy-Cons are great for portable and wireless play, but their small, curveless design can feel cramped during longer sessions if you have larger hands. That\u2019s why the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller<\/a> might be worth a look, especially if you mostly game in TV mode. The upgraded version of one of our favorite Nintendo Switch controller<\/a> features a few welcome improvements, including a pair of rear GL and GR buttons players can use to remap other controls. Nintendo has also finally added a 3.5mm audio jack, allowing you to pair it with a headset or a set of wired headphones. The gamepad even features the aforementioned\u00a0\u201cC\u201d button<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of writing, you can preorder the Switch 2 Pro controller for $84.99 at Best Buy<\/a>, GameStop<\/a>, and Target<\/a>. It was also initially available at Walmart<\/a>; however, the retailer\u2019s initial preorder allotment has since sold out.<\/p>\n

Joy-Con 2 Wheel (set of two)<\/h3>\n

If you plan on picking up the new Mario Kart World<\/a><\/em>, the Joy-Con 2 Wheels are worth a look. Simply snap the Joy-Con 2 controllers, which connect magnetically, into the steering wheel attachments before booting up your preferred racing title. The two-wheel set is currently available for preorder for $24.99 at Best Buy<\/a>, GameStop<\/a>, and Target<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector<\/h2>\n

The Switch 2 is a pricey gadget you\u2019ll want to keep safe, so it\u2019s a good idea to invest in a carrying case like the Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector. We\u2019ll likely see a wealth of third-party brands release their own version in the coming weeks, but Nintendo\u2019s proprietary offering is likely to be one of the few available at launch.<\/p>\n

The bundle \u2014 which includes a console-only carrying case, screen protector, and cleaning cloth\u00a0\u2014 is only available for preorder for $39.99 at GameStop<\/a> and Target<\/a>, even if it was originally available elsewhere. <\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case<\/h3>\n

Nintendo is also launching an All-In-One Carrying Case on June 5th, which is more spacious than the model mentioned above. The higher-end case features separate compartments for stowing the console and various goodies, including the Switch 2 dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, cables, and up to six game cards. You can preorder it now from GameStop<\/a> for $84.99.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch 2 Camera<\/h3>\n

Supposedly, you can video chat with friends via GameChat using any compatible USB-C camera, but Nintendo offers its own solution in the form of the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera<\/a>. The 1080p camera is designed to sit on a stand, allowing you to display your face as a picture-in-picture overlay or as a dedicated video feed. A few titles, such as the upgraded\u00a0version of Super Mario Party Jamboree<\/em>, let you see your friends on-screen while you play. Some mini-games even incorporate the camera into the game experience itself.<\/p>\n

The camera features an adjustable wide-angle lens, designed to capture groups of people in a single shot, as well as a \u201chigh-sensitivity image sensor\u201d that automatically adjusts brightness levels. It also features a built-in privacy shutter and includes a USB-C charging cable, as well as support for TV, tabletop, and handheld modes.<\/p>\n

You can currently preorder it for $54.99 from Best Buy<\/a>, GameStop<\/a>, and Target<\/a>.<\/p>\n
