Although Nintendo worked hard to convince us actively and passively that its Nintendo Switch was a portable and desktop console, it was not long before they launched the Switch Lite, a cheaper version of the product that focuses on being only a portable. It is a move that has worked well for them in the past, such as when they released the Nintendo 2DS. And in this case, the maneuver has been outstanding, since the Nintendo Switch Lite is the best-selling console for children, because it is simpler, cheaper and easier to protect. If you have a Lite or want to give a loved one an accessory for this console, this is the best top you will find for products compatible with the portable.
transport bags
The best way to take your Nintendo Switch Lite out on the street is with a case. These are the best models of transport bags and cases on the market:
MoKo – Hard colored case
The name of this case is not very attractive, but it is worth buying. You can choose between 4 colors , it has space for any extra accessory you can imagine (headphones, charger, a power bank…) and you can also place up to 20 Nintendo Switch game cards neatly inside. In addition, the case is rigid, so it will be able to absorb all kinds of shocks.
HEYSTOP 5 in 1 Case
This cover offers practically the same as the previous one, but it comes with a transparent flexible cover and several other accessories to customize our console a little, as well as a screen protector . For its price, the truth is that you cannot ask for more.
Hori – Shoulder Bag Go Pack
If you prefer to carry your console in a shoulder bag, this other bag is also very interesting, although it is aimed at a more childish audience than the previous ones. It is sold with Pokémon and Animal Crossing motifs. It’s officially licensed by Nintendo and has plenty of room for all the accessories you have. It also fits the regular Nintendo Switch.
storage accessories
As with the standard Nintendo Switch, on the Lite you can play via game cards or by purchasing titles directly from the Nintendo eShop . If you prefer to have your games in digital format and always available on your console, then you will need a microSD card .
We recommend that you get a 128 or 256 GB , depending on the number of games you want to buy over the life of the console. Less than 128 GB is not worth the price and more than 256 GB ends up slowing down the loading times of the Nintendo Switch Lite. The console also has a limit when it comes to reading data from the card, so we will not benefit if we buy a microSD with more than 90 MB/s of reading .
SanDisk microSDXC UHS-I – Nintendo License
This card is the one that Nintendo recommends for your console. It is sold in capacities of 64, 128, 256 and 512 GB , with the 128 GB model having the highest capacity-price ratio. The cards are personalized with motifs from Nintendo franchises.
SanDisk Ultra microSDXC
This card is a little faster than the previous one, something that our console will not notice. The manufacturer is the same and, despite being practically the same product, the truth is that it represents savings, especially if we choose cards of 256 GB or more.
To customize the console
Although the Lite isn’t as customizable as the standard Nintendo Switch, there are plenty of accessories designed to enhance your gaming experience or even change the visual appearance of the handheld.
HEYSTOP Case with Grip
With this accessory, which is also very cheap, you will not only protect the console, but you will also be able to place your hands more comfortably on the triggers. It is available in five different colors and provides many advantages. The first is that it works like a case, so it will absorb shock if you drop the Lite on the ground. Second, it has an ergonomic design , which allows you to grip the console like a traditional controller. It also has a screen protector and a few button protectors to have more precision on the joysticks and that they do not slip with the sweat of our fingers. It is a most complete product.
Orzly Comfort Grip Case
This accessory is very similar to the previous one, although with a much more rubbery touch. It is available in seven different colors. It also allows you to customize the color of the crosshairs, although it does not have a screen protector.
Satisfye ZenGrip Go (Lite)
If you spend many hours playing the console and end up feeling pain in your hands, there is an accessory for you. The Zengrip is a structure in which you will be able to fit the console with total security so that your hands are in a more comfortable position when accessing the buttons. There are many media specialized in video games that consider this product to be outstanding , although it does not have a particularly cheap price.
Best sound accessories
This is a classic. You want to play at full volume, but your family tells you to stop bothering and turn down the sound. In that case, the best thing to do is grab a good set of headphones . These two proposals are great depending on your budget.
PDP LVL40 Stereo Headphones
The pdpgaming headsets are officially licensed by Nintendo and are available in 4 different designs , based on the colors of the consoles. It is compatible with both Switch and Switch Lite, its price is quite consistent with the quality of the product. Of course, we are talking about wired headphones .
SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless
If, on the other hand, you prefer wireless headphones , this SteelSeries model is going to make a noticeable difference during your games. You will be able to use these headphones with a microphone on any console you have, and their quality is guaranteed by all the positive comments that their buyers have made so far. Without a doubt, it is a high-quality accessory to complement the Nintendo Switch Lite.
To recharge the console
We all dread the low battery warning when we play games with our Nintendo Switch. If you give the Lite a lot of cane and you don’t want to be permanently plugging in the charger, these are some interesting options to maximize the autonomy of the console.
Big Blue 6000mAh
If you don’t want to be left stranded with your game in the middle of a trip, this small case connects to the USB-C port of your Nintendo Switch Lite to extend its autonomy by 5 or 6 more hours . It doesn’t add much weight and has a few other perks, like a little stand to set the console on a table or space to store a couple of Nintendo Switch game cards inside the case.
Lexibook Mario & Luigi Powerbank 10,000 mAh
With this accessory you will be able to charge any Nintendo Switch console or mobile phone via cable. You can also play connected to this powerbank , although it will not be as comfortable as with the previous example.
