You Won't Find Switch 2 Consoles On Amazon, But You Can Get Games & Gear
Here's why only select Nintendo Switch 2 products are available at Amazon right now
The list of Switch 2-compatible controllers sold on Amazon is massive (hundreds, if not thousands), but we're highlighting two especially notable options here. 8BitDo's Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller for Switch released earlier this month. This terrific pro-style controller has four extra remappable buttons, adjustable trigger locks, TMR electromagnetic analog sticks (better than Hall Effect), three custom profiles, and varied internal customization options. It should work with Switch 2 via Bluetooth out of the box, and it's also possible the included USB-C dongle will be compatible for 2.4GHz Wireless.
The Switch 2 Pro Controller has two remappable back buttons, but as you can see above, 8BitDo's Ultimate 2 has a bunch of additional features. It also happens to be $15 cheaper at retail price, but Amazon is offering a 10% discount at the time of writing.
The other controller is an interesting pick for those who don't like the form factor of Nintendo's Joy-Con Controllers. GameSir's G8 Plus is a Bluetooth controller that cradles the Nintendo Switch or iOS/Android devices with screen sizes of up to 8.5 inches. The Switch 2 has a 7.9-inch screen, so there's no reason why this pro-style controller shouldn't be compatible with Nintendo's new console.
- 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller (Black) -- $63 (
$70) - 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller (White) -- $63 (
$70) - GameSir G8 Plus Bluetooth Controller for Handheld Mode -- $80
microSD Express Cards at Amazon
Amazon has yet to list Samsung's officially licensed 256GB microSD Express Card, but you can find options from SanDisk and Lexar on Amazon. The Switch 2 only supports the Express format, which are high-performing and pricey. Plus, this is a new technology, so there are very few options available today. Amazon tends to be one of the best retailers for deals on storage devices, but microSD Express Cards at Amazon have yet to receive meaningful discounts.
