if you want a superb solo adventure; it's an absolute delight.
is an excellent console with a massive catalog of games. However, it is more than seven years old, and it's begun to show its age. The good news is that over the years, third-party manufacturers have stepped up, making add-ons that improve virtually every aspect of Nintendo's machine.
If you want to improve your console experience, from how games look on your television to how they feel in your hand, below you will find our recommendations on how to eke the most of your new Nintendo Switch. Some of them cost a lot less than a game and will improve every title you ever buy.
8BitDo Ultimate
While your new Nintendo Switch comes with a pair of Joy-Con controllers in the box, which lets you slot in the console's controllers and use them like a gamepad, it's no match for an actual pad. It may be more suitable for children, but clenching the Joy-Con grip in adult hands becomes uncomfortable over extended play sessions.
.
Roughly the same price as Nintendo's official gamepad, the 8BitDo Ultimate feels better in your hands thanks to overall higher build quality. You can also remap the controller's buttons and tweak your stick and trigger sensitivities using an app on your phone, including two back paddle buttons that aren't featured on Nintendo's pad, giving you that slight edge against other players.
MicroSD card
, the digital game file is actually larger than the console's internal storage.
You can either stick to buying physical games, where only a small save file is stored on the console itself, and spend your time deleting games to clear space for new downloads, or, much more sensibly, pick up a MicroSD card. These tiny memory cards can store as much as 2TB of data depending on the model, potentially letting you install hundreds of games.
There is an officially licensed SanDisk microSDXC, which has a nice picture of that iconic Super Mario mushroom on it. However, almost any MicroSD card will do, and many are much cheaper than the officially licensed one.
Marseille mClassic
. By sending your console's HDMI out through the device before going into your TV, the Marseille mClassic will upscale your Nintendo Switch's resolution from 1080p up to 1440p.
, run at a reduced 900p, that's a significant increase in fidelity. While it won't increase the game's performance or graphical fidelity, using the Marseille mClassic is not unlike a mid-gen upgrade for your console, similar to the technical jump provided by the PS5 Pro.
More than just an upscale, the Marseille mClassic also adds anti-aliasing to Switch games and improves depth-of-field, making the image smoother and the foreground more distinct. It's a really impressive device and something that increases the quality of every game in your library.
Nitro Deck
is perfect for anyone committed to Nintendo Switch gaming on the move. Fitted with programmable back buttons and a pair of thumbsticks that can't develop the dreaded Joy-Con drift, CRKD's Nitro Deck makes the Nintendo Switch more comfortable to play for long periods.
, none are foolproof. And simply replacing the controllers is pricey. So, moving to a device like the Nitro Deck can preserve your Joy-Con and save you a lot of money in the long run.
There are other deck options, but many connect the controls to the Switch via Bluetooth, which introduces lag. The Nitro Deck connects to the Switch via USB-C, which makes for a much faster connection.
Ring Fit Adventure
.
as part of those plans.
(genuinely) fun RPG quest, you'll run on the spot and do leg, chest, and arm exercises. At the other end of a play session, you will have worked up a sweat and find your muscles gently ache with the strain of a workout.
