The Nintendo Switch is probably my favourite games console. It's like nothing else on the market, so while I love the PS5 and Xbox Series X under my telly, the Switch gets the most use. And there are heaps of ways to make using the Switch even more pleasurable, with the gift of additional accessories. 

The Switch landscape is varied though: if you want the best portable experience, the Switch OLED has the better screen (and kickstand, actually) compared to the standard Switch; but if you don't want to ever play on TV and want to save money then the portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite might be your best option (see shopping widget below for the price comparison of each at their best current prices). 

Whichever Switch you own, or wish to buy, however, there's always something extra you can gift or buy for yourself, your friends or family, to elevate that Nintendo Switch gaming experience. Here I round up the best Nintendo Christmas gifts and accessories for the Switch series in 2024...
