Snakebyte announces accessories for Nintendo Switch & More!

Nintendo has been tight-lipped with details about the Switch, which is due out in march, but that didn’t stop German manufacturer Snakebyte-group from revealing a host of accessories for the New console at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show. This makes them the first manufacturer to announce third party accessories for the much anticipated new system.


First in the lineup is a foldable headset equipped with 40mm drivers for, “crisp, clear gaming audio”.  The headphones are geared to augment the portability of the system, giving you a great sound experience on the go.


Snakebyte is also set of offer a Switch starter kit, which includes a carry case, a screen protector, a set of ear buds, a micro-fiber cleaning cloth, and a game case.  The set also features a pair of rubber caps for the thumb sticks called “Control Caps”.

The screen protector gives me hope that the Switch will still feature a touch screen, but since nothing has shown up in either the FCC or Patent filings, we may have to wait until the next version comes out (maybe 2019?!).  The game case also gives us a better look at the size of the game cartridges, which seem to be about the size of a standard SD card.

Snakebyte also announced two new products for the NES Classic Edition.  In the coming months, they’ll be introducing a much needed 9.5 foot extension for the controllers and an A/C wall adapter.  The wall adapter will be a great addition to the NES Classic, and I’m thinking this will lead them into producing a portable charger for the Switch as well (if it doesn’t already come with one).

Hopefully we’ll get some additional details from Nintendo during there 12 January announcement.  Until then, all we can do is sit back and speculate.
