PowerA Unveils Accessories for the New Nintendo Switch 2

Man, PowerA just dropped a whole bunch of stuff for the new Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s kind of a big deal. I think I heard something about it while I was munching on a snack—maybe chips? Anyway, they’re cranking out these accessories right when the new console lands. Perfect timing, right? Or maybe it’s just me being overly excited. Who knows.

So, these gadgets? They’re all official and stuff. Apparently, they had to jump through Nintendo’s hoops to get that seal of approval. Sounds fancy. They’re talking about having some kind of Hall Effect sensors in the controllers. What even is that? Some magnetic mumbo jumbo so you can game without glitches. Makes me wonder if it’ll actually help me in my gaming skills, or am I always going to suck?

Let’s dive into the lineup. They’ve got this controller, right? Gonna cost you $39.99. It’s wired, which feels kinda old school, but hey, it’s supposed to be top-notch for gaming precision, or so they say. Two buttons get mapped—whatever that means—and there’s a C Button, supposedly for GameChat. I guess you can yap with your friends without fumbling around. Plus, some audio controls. They mention anti-friction rings, and I’m imagining something smooth and magical. Also, a 10 ft. cable. Seriously, how far do you need to sit?

Oh, and did I mention the designs? Classic black’s there, duh. Then there’s the Super Mario vibe, which is kind of nostalgic if you ask me. Plus, characters from the Mushroom Kingdom, which honestly sounds fun.

Then there’s this slim case thingy. Going for $19.99. Think sleek and gray, easy to stash without making your bag bulge out like a weird lump. It’s got a zippered shell—kind of important, right? Plush inside, screen protection, tabletop play stand, and room for 10 game cards. Not sure why I found this interesting, but I imagine this being super handy if you’re one of those who game everywhere.

Last but not least, screen protectors for $12.99. You actually snag two of them in a pack. Comes with the whole nine yards: microfiber cloth, guides, stickers, and an applicator. They claim bubble-free installation, but I’d bet an ice cream I’d still mess it up somehow.

So yeah, if you’re itching to deck out your new Switch 2, this might be up your alley. Or not. Depends on how much you trust the fancy talk and if you’re ready to shell out the cash.
