CES 2017: Snakebyte Talks Nintendo Switch Accessories

Snakebyte showed off its extensive lineup of accessories for Nintendo's Switch console, to be released in March, and Greg Burke was on hand to check them out at last week's CES show.

Highlights include a carrying case with a mesh pocket for accessories like game cartridges, ear buds with "a really nice bass and treble response," and rubber caps for the Switch controller's analog sticks.

Nintendo will broadcast an event this Thursday, January 12, at 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT to announce concrete Switch details including a price and firm launch date. On Friday morning, the company will host a hands-on event for members of the press to try some of the games due in the system's launch window.

  If the Switch is as affordable as rumors indicate, I'll probably set aside cash to pick up a lot of this stuff. A carrying case seems essential given the system's portability.

    Lol. I have 2 kids, so I'm probably on the hook for 3 over the next year. Plus accessories.

    I asked these guys if they're making an updated version of their 3DS case for the Switch: https://www.sfbags.com/collections/nintendo-3ds-cases/products/nintendo-3ds-xl-cityslicker-case
    
    They said yes, out late Spring or so.
