Switch 2, and the bits you actually need with it
Consoles, controllers and games — including the accessories people forget until the console is already open on the table.

Buying the console
The Switch 2 comes with a pair of Joy-Con 2 in the box, so a console on its own is enough to start playing. What it does not include is a second set of controllers, which is the thing most people come back for within a fortnight if anyone else in the house plays.
If you already know two of you will be playing, buying a spare set at the same time saves a trip and usually a delivery fee.
Controllers, and which one to get
The Pro Controller is the one to buy if you play anything for long stretches — it is a full-sized pad and far more comfortable across a long session than the Joy-Con are. It is the standard upgrade for a reason.
The Charging Grip is the cheaper middle option: it holds the Joy-Con in a pad-like shell and charges them while you play, which solves the flat-controller problem without replacing anything. If you mostly play in short bursts, it is enough.
Spare Joy-Con 2 are what you want for local multiplayer specifically, since a single pair splits into two controllers for two players.
A note on game-key cards
Several Switch 2 releases ship as a game-key card rather than a cartridge holding the game. The card is a licence: it goes in the slot, the console downloads the game, and the card has to stay in to play. You still own something physical and can lend or resell it, but it needs an internet connection to set up and free space on the console.
We label these on the product page so you know which you are buying before it arrives, not after.
Cases and storage
A case matters more on a handheld than people expect, because the screen is the expensive part and it travels in a bag. If the console leaves the house, buy one with it.
If you are collecting the Pokémon side of things too, the card pouches and vault cases we carry are built for the same bag — they hold game cards and TCG cards without either rattling loose.
