In today's episode of 'Nintendo licenses the darndest things' we have Collectible Lunchbox Kits for Nintendo Switch; well, they're more interesting than those standard cases we're all carrying around.

PowerA is behind these licensed curios that blend the nostalgia for old lunchboxes with useful stuff like headphones and a screen protector, with the aforementioned 'lunchbox' case and a Joy-Con 'comfort grip' supposedly only available through the kit.

There are three options available, one for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and two for Super Mario Odyssey.

They're due for release - in North America at least - during November - Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the 6th and the Odyssey options on the 15th; all will be priced at $29.99USD.
