We've already seen a number of Switch dock accessories over the last few months, usually in the form of covers that protect your console from scratches and make everything look all colourful and pretty. Whilst several of these fan-made goodies have been truly inspiring, not many can stand out from the crowd quite as well as this one.
Introducing this 3D-printed, hand-painted model of the Odyssey that actually works as a dock to hook up your Switch to the TV. It has felt protection to prevent any streaks or scratches, it is made from ABS plastic (a very durable material that is used to create LEGO bricks), and the stand where the globe usually sits in the game actually doubles up as an amiibo holder. Amazing!
It actually works by using an extension cable; you'll need to plug this cable into the port on the bottom of your Switch console whilst it sits in the dock, and then hook that up to the official dock somewhere near your TV. Luckily, this cable is actually thrown in with the product when you make a purchase so you are all set and ready to go.
If you want to buy one of these for yourself you can find the product on Etsy; US residents can purchase directly from the store, and international shipping is also available by contacting the seller directly. Would you like to get your hands on this Super Mario Odyssey themed dock for your Switch? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Wow! I want to see a DK barrel one next.
The Odyssey-dock also known as SCRATCHmageddon.
Oooh... so cute !
It's beautiful! Remember when Nintendo went nuts on accessories to enhance the Wiimote for bowling, tennis, golf... there's an industry waiting to happen in Switch docks.
He doesn't ship to uk but price on the link is pounds. its 75 quid if anyone is interested. And if i could get it i pay that for it only a little bit stepper than the nintendo dock.
@sleepinglion : I believe those were all third party accessories. I don't recall Nintendo themselves ever releasing their own Wii Remote shells for sporting activities.
@sillygostly Right you are, but even third parties could make officially licensed docks.
Looks so good I can eat it
“Awesome” and “amazing” are both words you throw around too often. This item is neither. It looks good on its own, but not with a Switch docked.
@BornInNorway81
What an awesome and amazing comment!
@Geeks4Life It said in the article that the slot is lined with felt as to not scratch the screen.
@Prof_Yoshtonics AaaaanD! The guy get's a piece of cake for ruining the joke with knowledge. Congrats!
In the description on the etsy page the guy say that he does do international shipping, you just need to email him to do a custom order.
That is pretty cool, but where is the globe?
I thought it was a cake before I read the title.
Thank you SO SO SO much for sharing my shops item! Such an honor!
I wanted to let you all know that the item actually CAN be shipped internationally! I have updated the listing to say this but all you need to do is send me a message on etsy and I can make a custom listing for anyone interested in international shipping with the matching shipping costs and location
@Senpai3D Hi there, you're very welcome! Thanks for letting us know about your update, I have now changed the article to reflect this.
Beautiful!
@BornInNorway81 I think it was reference to Mario Odyssey, in which Cappy says "That's amazing!" for many achievements in the game, such as 999 moons.
That's pretty neat. I don't think I like Mario Odyssey enough for it however. In the future I might want a Pokemon themed one.
I want one.Take a look at link to theanxiousgamer.blog for similar articles
@Heavyarms55 Ooooo thats actually a fun idea! I just might make something like that. Maybe a pokeball dock that opens up to show the switch slot inside? I already made a BUNCH of custom cases for the switch too and one of them is pokemon themed (I messaged @ryancraddock about maybe doing another article about them). Lemme know what you think!
@Senpai3D I would certainly be interested.
@Heavyarms55 Just so you know I made the pokeball dock that we were talking about and it came out even better than I could've imagined. Its retro on the outside and high detail on the inside. It holds 5 games, an amiibo and works as a dock the same way this dock works. https://www.etsy.com/listing/587801872/pokemon-pokeball-nintendo-switch-dock-w?ref=shop_home_feat_4
@RyanCraddock
@Senpai3D Oh wow, that is quite nice. Are there any issues with the Switch getting warm while it sits in that dock?
@Heavyarms55 Nope! There are vents in the back of the dock portion so that it can breathe freely. Its supposed to sit open when running the console and closed when not in use since the joy cons pretty much need line of site to see the console and the pro controller is laggy when there is something in the way.
A couple of youtubers have already reached out to me to do videos that feature it and have them in the mail to them so you should be able to see some cool vids to get a better idea
