With every new portable console comes a mountain of new third-party accessories. Weve already seen Horis Piranha Plant alternative to the Switch 2s USB-C camera, but Genki has announced a larger lineup of accessories designed to help protect the portable console while youre playing away from home, plus some clever ways to keep it and its Joy-Con controllers charged.The Joy-Station can charge four Joy-Cons simultaneously and turn them into two standalone controllers. Image: GenkiThe $49.99 Genki Joy-Station looks like a sleek way to avoid the annoying juggling act of keeping more than two Joy-Cons charged, with some additional, well thought-out functionality. The Joy-Cons attach to two delta-shaped grips turning each pair into standalone controllers. Two Joy-Cons can be simultaneously charged using a USB-C cable while attached to the grips useful for those times when you want to play and the Joy-Cons are nearly dead but they also charge when the grips are reattached to the charging base.The Energy Pack includes a small screen displaying temperature, charging speeds, and the remaining charge level. Image: GenkiThanks in part to a larger screen, the Switch 2s battery life is estimated to be between two and 6.5 hours per charge. You can extend that using Genkis $69.99 Energy Pack which is designed to conveniently magnetically attach to the back of the console and charge it at up to 30W speeds. The 10,000mAh Energy Pack is Qi2 compatible so you can also use it to wirelessly charge your phone, but the Switch 2 isnt, so the battery instead connects to the consoles top USB-C port using a short included cable.You can enhance your Grip on the Switch 2 using Genkis Attack Vector shell. Image: GenkiFor gamers wanting added protection while theyre playing the Switch 2, Genkis Attack Vector is a $49.99 three-piece dock-compatible protective shell that can be upgraded with a screen cover for an extra $10. Its most compelling feature is that it comes with three different sizes of sweat-resistant grips including a slim option designed for travel and a chunky option for maximum grip.The Joy-Cons remain easily removable while using the Force Field 2 shell. Image: GenkiThe $29.99 (or $39.99 with an optional screen cover) Force Field 2 shell is a cheaper alternative to the Attack Vector featuring a swing open design so you can detach and reattach the Switch 2s Joy-Cons without having to fully remove it. Its also dock-compatible, and allows for full use of the Switch 2s folding stand.If youre simply looking for a way to keep the Switch 2 safe from dirt and scratches while its stuffed in a bag, Genkis $42.99 Sleeper Case features a hidden zipper and a soft wool finish inside and out wrapped around a sturdy shell the company describes as both crushproof and virtually indestructible.Genki has also introduced a $19.99 Switch 2 screen protector called the Aegis Shield, and the Mimic Chest: a $19.99 plastic case sold in three-packs that each hold 12 game cartridges. All of the accessories are available for preorder now and expected to ship sometime in May or June 2025. If you want them all, Genki also sells the collection as a bundle with either the Force Field 2 shell for $184.99 or the Attack Vector for $199.99.See More:
