According to recent reports, Hardware and software company Snakebyte has recently announced a handful of new accessories intended for both the NES Classic Edition and the upcoming Nintendo Switch. These accessories will be available separately from the said consoles and will not be bundled with them.
Nintendo Switch Accessories
When it comes to the Nintendo Switch, Snakebyte has revealed that the Nintendo Switch Foldable Headset, as well as the Nintendo Switch Starter Kit, which includes a Carry Bag, Cleaning Cloth, Stereo Earbuds, Control Caps, Screen Protector, and Game Cases are going to be available for separate purchase once the console rolls out later this year.
NES Classic Accessories
For the In-demand NES Classic Edition, Snakebyte will be coming out with the Nintendo NES Classic Edition Power Adaptor and the Nintendo NES Classic Edition Gamepad Extension Cable, which will add 9.8 feet to the length of the NES gamepad.
Several complaints have already been issued addressing the lack of length on the NES Classic's controller cable, which is why purchasing this would definitely enhance your gaming experience with the console.
Statement from Snakebyte
In an official announcement, Snakebyte CEO Nick Repenning had the following to say about the upcoming Nintendo accessories:
"Nintendo has a tradition of honoring the past while forging a bold and bright future, and with the release of the NES Classic Edition, as well as the forthcoming Switch console, we strongly believe that gamers everywhere will respond positively towards the new hardware that Nintendo is introducing.
We expect our range of accessories to be of high quality and thoughtfully designed, perfect for a day one purchase alongside new console sales. We also believe that the new products announced today will allow us to continue a growing market share in our gaming hardware business and look forward towards sharing further details very soon."
The gaming accessories are now available online through the official Snakebyte website.
