I am getting the "Pro" Controller, which actually isn't a Pro Controller at all (no analogue triggers), purely for the 3.5mm jack.

I won't buy anything else because I want to see games first.

Looks really cute, but it's super low res compared with the official one.
 
Just the Micro SD card because I don't think I have anything compatible.
I will keep using my OG Pro Controller for Switch 2.
 
Guess i'm the only person here so far that got a second dock set haha. I have two living rooms that I use, depending on what the wife is doing, so this will make my gaming room options dynamic!

Also got the pro controller 2 and carry case.

Anyway, absolutely nothing. My 2017 Pro controller is still fine and I have a small pile of PowerA type wired controllers that are likely to still work.

Hopefully none if the switch pro controller is compatible.

It does, confirmed on Nintendo's web site.

Compatibility of Nintendo Switch with Nintendo Switch 2 | Nintendo Support

Information about which Nintendo Switch software, accessories, and features are able to be used with the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
en-americas-support.nintendo.com en-americas-support.nintendo.com
 
Just a Pro Controller.
Anything else i get will be after launch on an as needed basis following some play sessions etc.

I royally lucked out on the Switch 1 dock for $15 from this nongamer whose son broke their Switch. Having two was unbelievably convenient. But I would never have paid the asking price (kind of like my feelings on Series S lol). Fast forward some years, I got a tiny USB C dongle that works perfect for $3.

I'm actually wondering whether this cheapass dongle will meet the requirements of the Switch 2 where the old dock doesn't.

I wish the Switch 2 were even minimally compatible with the old dock -the extra bedroom TV I'd use it with can't even use the extra frames or HDMI bandwidth anyway.
 
I'm getting a Killswitch, a good screen protector, a Pro Controller 2, and an SD expansion card. My Switch 2 won't be leaving the dock all too often.

Be warned, while this looks cool, it's a 480p camera.

We can't all be beautiful.

But in all seriousness, I can't see myself using the damn thing anyways, so I'd rather have something that looks cool populating my living room. I also fully plan on swapping out the internals if possible. My soldering station needs work.
 
Glad there's a change vote option! I'll get the pro controller (at launch) and later down the line I'll get more joy con, and I'll check out what crkd does, hoping they have a nitro deck or summ for the Switch 2.
 

Just got my carry case, this thing is awesome. Carries 24 games, 2 SD cards and securely stores accessories. The inside has a super soft material and the outside is nice very protective. Hard but not too hard.

Its not "cheap" but if anyone is looking for quality this is definitely it.

I need joycon replacements for people with real hands. Are there any released or announced, yet?
Click to expand...

I'm waiting until I actually play the Switch 2 before deciding how badly I need Joycon replacements. It seems to me as if the Switch 1 joycon are so terrible that we judge the new ones out of hand (literally). Since the tablet itself is larger, the joycons are larger too despite a deceptively familiar appearance. It just might be good enough, for when not docked...

Pro Controller 2, Carry case.

NYXI Hyperion for Switch 2 once they release with carry case.

This looks like a nice improvement over stock! Hoping the S2 addressed the feelings of the controllers so it doesn't feel like a toy anymore, but otherwise it seems I'll be in the market for a set of these myself!
 
The express card for sure. (Already have a 512gb on preorder)

I'll stick with my current controllers until i need to upgrade
(And even then, I'll likely upgrade to another off brand S2 controller. I cant justify $85 for a glorified xbox controller)

At launch? A carrying case. Maybe Joycon straps. MAYBE an extra pair of joycon.

Over time I'll probably pick up a camera, pro controllers (if drift isn't an issue), extra joycon, and expanded memory, but I'm in no rush.

So far pro controller, GameCube controller, case, 256gb memory card, charge grip, joycons, and power supply to go with Mario kart switch bundle
 
Surprised to see so many people opting for the new pro controller this time around, given that it seems pretty functionally identical to the previous controller. As far as I can tell, it only adds the C button and back triggers. For me, that wasn't worth the asking price.

And you can turn on the console from the controller. Apparently switch 1 pro controllers dont let you do that on the switch 2. There also reported minor upgrades to the feel of the sticks and controller itself.

Not really interested in a camera. Ordered a pro controller.
Still need to order a case and screen protector and keeping on eye on sd card prices. Will prob grab a 512gb card and upgrade to 1tb later when prices drop.

I have three pro v1 controllers and need a fourth for the family. Might as well
 
I'm gonna grab a tempered glass screen protector and that about it for now. Gonna see how long I can go with my Joy-Cons and Switch Pro controller before having to opt in for the Switch 2 versions.
 
Probably nothing.

I'd grab a Pro controller if it had analog triggers. I'll just use my Switch Pro Controller for now.
I've had that Nintendo case for all of my Switches but it seems overpriced at $40. I'm not likely to travel with it anyway.
Camera seems like it could be fun but I'll wait to really see its implementation and how many people actually use it online. None of my friends are getting a Switch 2 at launch.
I'll get a microSD eventually. Don't really need it yet since I'm only using this for exclusives.

Whatever you do in your living room, don't do this
