Mini Arcade Stick

The Switch has a lot to offer in terms of arcade experiences. There's a growing list of fighting and shmup games being released on the system on a regular basis. On top of this, Hamster continues to add more titles to its Arcade Archives collection.

Realising arcade gaming is alive and well on the Switch, accessory manufacturer Gametech has decided to release a Switch mini arcade stick. It's compatible with both the standard Switch and Switch Lite system and maps all of the buttons to its own pad. There's even a big analog stick to help recreate the magic of arcades and there's no need for a power supply, as it runs directly off the Switch.
