Samsung microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2
$59.99 at Target
Storage is key, especially for gamers. The Switch 2 comes with 256GB of onboard storage, but if you need more, a regular microSD card won’t suffice. The Switch 2 requires a microSD Express card, and Samsung has teamed up with Nintendo to create a special Mario-themed option. At launch, it’s only available in 256GB.
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Controllers
$94.99 at Target
The primary input method for the Switch 2 is the Joy-Con 2 controllers. While older Joy-Cons are compatible, they lack some features like waking the console from sleep or attaching to the side for handheld play. The new Joy-Con 2 controllers introduce innovations such as mouse functionality, a team chat button, and a magnetic attachment mechanism. You can purchase them individually in Light Blue (left) and Light Red (right).
