PowerA Unveils Accessories for Nintendo Switch 2

Alright, so here’s some news I stumbled across. PowerA—never heard of ’em before, but maybe you have—apparently they’re rolling out accessories for the… what’s it called again? Right, the Nintendo Switch 2. I guess these things are supposed to be ready when the console hits stores. Feels like everything’s getting a sequel these days, even consoles. Anyway.

According to what I read, these gadgets are officially licensed—which probably means Nintendo gave them a thumbs up—and supposedly, they’re made to meet really high standards. You know, the kind of standards that make you feel like a pro gamer, even if you’re just struggling through the first level.

Okay, so, here’s a bit about the tech. They’ve got something called Hall Effect sensors. Not gonna pretend I totally get this, but it’s got something to do with magnets and thumbsticks and making everything smoother. Like, your moves are supposed to be more precise and your controller lasts longer. Magic, I guess?

Mark your calendars or whatever, because these fancy gadgets are dropping in June. You can snag them online at PowerA’s site, Amazon, or wherever you buy stuff. And here’s a quick rundown of what they’re offering:

First up, the Advantage Wired Controller. At $39.99, it’s like, a “must-have” for anybody who takes gaming way too seriously. Think about it: You’ve got these fancy Hall Effect thumbsticks that might just make you a gaming champ—or not. Added perks include buttons you can map however you want, a quick-access C Button for chatting during games, and a design that’s supposedly comfy for those marathon gaming sessions. Oh, and it comes with a 10-foot USB-C cable—perfect if you like sitting far away for some reason. You can grab it in basic black, Mario-inspired colors, or this fun, zany Mushroom Kingdom theme. Why? Because why not.

Moving on, there’s the Slim Case for $19.99. Minimalistic is the buzzword here, in a dark heather gray shade. It’s like a little cocoon for your Switch 2, complete with a zippered outer shell and soft inside to keep everything safe. There’s even a built-in stand and some slots for your game cards—ten of ‘em, to be precise. Sounds handy, but do we really need all these extras? Maybe. Maybe not.

Finally, there’s a Screen Protector pack for $12.99. It’s a 2-for-1 deal. Comes with some microfiber cloth, guides, dust stickers—everything you need, really, to keep your screen looking fresh. No bubbles, guaranteed, or so they say.

So yeah, those are the deets. PowerA is banking on making your next gaming experience a bit more plush. Whether you’re onboard for this or not, well, that’s totally up to you.
