With the full reveal of the Switch just days away it's perhaps unsurprising that we're seeing a number of peripheral and accessory manufacturers reveal their forthcoming wares, with Japanese firm Hori being the latest to join the list - albeit unwittingly, as all of the following info has come to light as result of a leak.
Hori will be bringing its own controller and arcade stick (could we see a fighting game revealed on Friday?) to the console, as well as protective skins, carry cases, charging dock for the Joy Con, "compact playstand", LAN adapter and in-car charger.
You can check out the original documents - as well as some photos - below.
Hori is famed for the quality of its products - that arcade stick is a variation on the excellent version already available for the PlayStation 4 - so these should be pretty desirable. Any of these products take your fancy? Let us know with a comment.

Yes to the arcade stick and Zelda cover!
Crazy prices on some of these accessories. €150 for an arcade stick? No thanks. There's a couple of other images missing.
I've the Wii LAN adapter so I'm sorted but you can buy any old generic one on Ebay for €5.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE um arcade sticks are always pricey especially if they're made well
@kenrulei I appreciate that, but, still €150 seems madness to me.
Defo buying one of their cases, got 2 Vita ones and 2 3DS ones and love their style and build quality; although the N3DS one was a little big and needed a cleaning cloth to fill the gap.
Not keen on that d-pad on the controller, does the actual cross move or the circular bit around it? Nah, will grab the official one.
A Tekken 7 announcement for Switch later this week would compliment that arcade stick nicely.
That Snap & Go protector looks somewhat more practical for docking than the silicone skin we saw the other day at least.
All these screen protectors suggest touch screen too.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It isn't madness to me and I'm not a fighting game fan.
The depths they go to into the technical nature and intrincities of fighting games means that they'll gladly pay £200-£300 for top end sticks (or even more for custom made ones).
Really hope this means Tekken 7 will be released on the switch
@SLIGEACH_EIRE $150 is pretty standard for an arcade stick. I've 2 madcatz ones for my ps4 which cost around £200 each. Hopefully we'll see some old school arcade games released on the Nintendo store to further justify its purchase.
I'll likely pick up the protective case. I feel like my Switch would be a lot safer in it.
Awesome, the Snap and Go kit is a definite purchase for me! I have a similar unit for my Wii U Gamepad and it's done an excellent job at keeping it in great condition for the last few years!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE €150 ain't even that bad provided the stick is of decent quality.
WHY ISNT IT FRIDAY YET????
It's written in french, i'm a french native, i can translate any of these if you want.
Switch chargeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr, Switch chargeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr!
Who wants a Switch chargeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr? Anyone?
"I want one!"
A Switch chargeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr for this guy!
@aliuc
Sure, translate... er... whatever isn't obvious, s'il te plait.
(I remember something of French, surprisingly enough.)
Want all
Hoping that KOF XIV is a timed PS4 exclusive and comes to Switch at some point.
... does this mean "Tekken 7" on Switch, I wonder (and hope!)?
Surely the "Snap and Go" cover points to the fact that the console won't have a touch screen, as the whole screen is covered?
The close look at the Switch controls scheme and the Hori Pro-controller is interesting. I'm guessing the square button with a circle in it might be a record button? So the Switch might have recording capabilities.Also the stand looks pretty nice, I might get one of those(the inbuilt one on the back of the switch looks a little small) and a cartridge holder.
I think I'll stick with the 1st party pro controller since it has a proper d-pad. The Hori Pro-controller looks like it has the same kind as the 360 controller which I really don't like.
Switch USB butt plug? Count me in! haha
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Yeah I wouldn't pay that much either.
On a serious note that pad looks great as does that gold cover although it kind of defeats the object of the removable controllers. Also the covers suggest that the Switch won't have touch screen controls.
I'm confused about the use of EUR and French along with the American version of the Seal of quality.
Also, the D-pad has arrows on it on the document picture but not in the other one. The player indicator light is missing as well.
Did someone bother to fake this kind of thing?
@davidevoid
Sounds fun!
As long as I can protect my switch with covers and all I'll be happy
Ooh...nice !
Switch cartridge shape will be straight as NDS, unlike 3DS maybe. Well, probably 99% Black color game card with Red border on top (Hint from first trailer).
But later, i'm sure there will be Custom Vinyl Sticker for Joy Con and Switch docker.
TURBO BUTTON? Splatoon?...
Cart.............................horse.
That rigid case looks great, hope it is available day one!
Official accessories are always better than third-party ones... even the variety of accessory they have on offer is better.
Some of these should definitely be must-haves for Switch owners.
Juicy!
Tekken 7? Marvel vs Capcom Infinite??? Please, Bamco and Capcom!
I thought seeing these accessories would help quench my thirst for info about the Nintendo Switch......It did not.....
Really Nintendo? Could've just added the LAN connection to the system. But if it reduces the cost of the system I guess I can't complain. Wish U luck big N don't fail.
I have arcade sticks for 360 and PS4 made by Hori. Good products right there. Pretty cool that the Switch will be getting one.
I'm just noticing how tall those game carts seem to be.
How long has its been since we seen a turbo button on a controller?
@invictus4000 I also noticed that. Looking forward to Friday!
@jswhitfield8 @Dr_Lugae
You guys might be onto something. After the popularity of Splatoon, I wouldn't be surprised if they added a streaming/recording button to their controllers.
I'll definitely be buying one of their screen protectors. The one I got for my 3DS is almost magical in how easy to apply it was. Hori makes the best ones.
My main concern though is whether a good enough protective skin for the console is feasible, given that it slides into the dock.
Hori has always made solid stuff made well. The control pad looks like it has dents like a ps4 pad so it will be the best control pad yet as the placements are the same as the xbox360 where the thumb sticks are. Fantastic.
Not shown here are Breath of the Wild decals and/or covers. I saw them at another site. This suggests cruelty, capitalizing on anticipation, or a relatively soon release of the game for the Switch.
@Yorumi very true.
I only buy Hori or Nintendo when it comes to accessories so I'm definitely getting that starter kit. Can't wait to put my Switch in that case! Probably gonna pick up the multiple joy con charger and the trigger/joy stick caps too.
Edit: Actually I think I'm just gonna go with the rigid case instead and buy the screen protector film separately.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It is a HRAP; that is a pretty normal price. I am going to assume that Hori doesn't do currency conversion since the current ps4/ps3 HRAP is 150 USD in the US. My most recent Fight stick purchase was 230 USD (SFV TE2+). If you play fighting games with any competitive interest this is very standard pricing. HRAPs are good sticks though.
I'll be getting this HRAP until somebody padhacks it and then I'll likely build a new main stick. Also, wanting to get the game cases and depending on ease of removal I like the Zelda skin/grip.
@Yorumi In addition to the "install logic" which doesn't apply to Nintendo, a lot of people want to make a one time purchase. For them it doesn't matter that they may have the storage option on the cheap (or just lying around the house for that matter) it is "one more thing they have to do". I remember hearing that complaint a lot when I worked for gamestop. You would think the digital only folks would be happy to have more control over their storage options though. Unlike with say the Vita (fall down a well Sony). However they complain just as much.
Personally, I am a data hoarder so I have spare usb drives everywhere. When I bought my WiiU I just threw a 64gb on it and a 32gb on my JPN one and have not had to delete anything. I spent decently heavily on the eshop and VC this gen too.
That fight stick though. Tekken 7, perhaps?
Mmmmmm dat breath of the wild skin...
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Also, Hori tends to make pretty good arcade sticks in general. Depending on the input (usb?), we might be able to use it for PC or other platforms.
@Xaessya Answer: too long. All hail the turbo button!
Dat usb C doe.
I like trying out new controllers so will pick one up if it gets an Aus release. Very unethical turbo button though, hope it doesn't work for splatoon.
@ollyander If not Hori, PDP or Madcatz or someone else will do it. Remember the NES Advantage? That had built in turbo too!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE 150 is nothing, especially since Hori is the cheaper and better alternative to madcatz or ettoki, those sticks start at 200, mine was 350. Also it's not an issue when you have a job and can afford it in full.
Definitely getting the Pad controller and protector. I don't want to spend $80 for a switch pro controller. Damn thing costs more than the video game itself
Would get the Hori Pro Controller but the d-pad looks too flimsy and.. the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is just infinitely better.
