Nintendo holiday guide puts controllers, storage and Pokémon gifts in focus

Nintendo Everything has published its 2026 holiday shopping guide for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 owners, with accessories and Pokémon merchandise joining its game recommendations. Published on November 14, the outlet’s gift guide organizes suggestions into three spending brackets: under $25, under $50 and over $50.

The selection stretches from screen protection and collectible pins to controllers and additional storage. Nintendo Everything also discloses that it participates in Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop affiliate programs and may earn commissions from purchases.

Accessories for different ways to play

For handheld players, the guide highlights the Satisfye ZenGrip 2. The outlet describes a grip designed around the console’s offset joystick positions and says the system can remain dockable with it attached. Its recommendation also points to an included protective front cover.

For people who spend more time playing on a television, Nintendo Everything selects the Switch 2 Pro Controller. The guide specifically cautions shoppers that the controller works with Switch 2 rather than the original Switch.

Other accessory picks include an amFilm screen protector and a sisma case that the outlet says holds 80 game cartridges, including original Switch cartridges. Its storage recommendation is a 512GB Samsung microSD Express card.

Merchandise and digital credit broaden the list

Pokémon gifts feature throughout the selection, including Sitting Cuties plush, pins and larger Poké Plush toys. The guide also highlights Pokémon Center’s custom shirts, describing options for selecting a Pokémon, shirt color and size in youth and adult ranges.

Nintendo eShop credit is another of the outlet’s picks, giving recipients a choice of digital purchases. For shoppers, the useful distinction is between gifts that depend on a particular console model and merchandise that depends mainly on the recipient’s favorite characters.
