Nintendo Switch 2 gets official gaming accessories from Belkin

Belkin is officially penetrated into the playing accessories space with the launch of a new product portfolio designed specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Belkin launches the accessories on the launching day of the new Nintendo hybrid game console, and all the products are officially allowed to work with Switch 2. If I were Nintendo, I would be satisfied with the entry of Belkin on this market because it validates the opportunity.

The products include a Nintendo Switch 2 load case, which combines protection and power with an integrated 10K battery, keeping your device loaded and ready for transparent games on the go.

Belkin also has a new Nintendo travel case. It mixes portability, premium protection and elegant style for players on the go.

The company has also created its anti-reflective screen protector in tempered glass for Switch 2. It offers sustainable and stain resistant protection with a reduced radiance for lighter visibility inside and outside.

And Belkin has a blue light glass screen protector for Switch 2. This offers sustainable and stain resistant protection while reducing blue light for greater clarity and ocular comfort during long game sessions.

Logan Olson, director of Future Ventures in Belkin, said in an interview with Gamesbeat that his group in Belkin had only a few years. (Belkin himself has existed since 1983). And the company has created the group to take it to new markets for accessories such as games.

“This Belkin segment is extremely strategic,” said Olson. “His goal is to really extend Belkin to new categories. So, new product categories, new, completely different commercial models, as well as new partnerships. We are now holding the promise of the organization. ”

Olson said the game was a natural adjustment for Belkin because it is known for its load devices, protection, quality, durability and more-and he wants to bring games, he said. (Belkin was at stake in the early 2000s with the release of a game mouse).

“Of course, there are games on PC, console games, mobile games. But what really makes sense with the games on mobile console is Nintendo, who with the Switch One created this category. Nintendo has sold more than 150 million switching aircraft since 2017, and now he finally launches The Switch 2.

“Games on the mobile console are only this natural progression of the place where we are in the space of the mobile phone and the demography of the category,” he said. “Unlike PC games and regular console games, it is 50-50 men / women, which is fantastic. It is unique to this category in games. As the switch increased as a market, it really started to have meaning for us.”

Nintendo also extends over the generations, hitting everyone, from Genalpha to baby boomers. Belkin has targeted pain points – such as the risk of having a larger screen or lacking batteries on the road. The goal was to provide high and high accessories that people would be proud to show.

“Our intention is to raise the entire market for switching accessories. We want to define a new standard, a new quality bar,” said Olson.

The Switch 2 Power Challenge is important because it pulls more energy than a smartphone and looks more like an iPad in this regard. The battery life is roughly the same, but people want to play their games longer these days, Olson said. This is where the charger adds value.

Belkin also built the charge in his case for the Switch 2, so that people can load it inside the bag. It is available in three colors, and it has a net for storage and a place to put gaming cards. The 10,000 milliampères electricity bank is integrated into the bag, with 20 fast load watts. The Switch 2 has a USB-C load port, so a number of Belkin charging products will work with it.

The charger supports tablet mode, where you can load during the game. Belkin noted that 55% of switch players play in portable mode. The price should be $ 70, which is always subject to changes if the prices come into force. The special charger firmware regulates the charging temperature, which cannot become too hot in a storage case. You can put an air label in case to make sure you find it. In terms of size, it’s like a clutch to transport. Meanwhile, the travel bag will cost about $ 30.

As for screen protection, Belkin has long been products in Apple stores to protect telephone screens and tablets. Now you can get a Switch 2 screen protector ($ 30 that comes in two or four packs. It makes the screen more stripes and better for the environment because it is made from recycled glass. It is also anti -reflective, which allows you to play games on the outdoor 2 switch. It makes the device more mobile in direct light.

Belkin also publishes a screen protector that can filter blue light ($ 25), so that people can play at night and do not have to worry that the light will make them stay longer. Olson said Belkin has reached carbon neutrality this year with its products and incorporates responsible materials responsible in its products.

“The protection of the screen so interesting because the quantity of engineering and the simple science that must enter it is crazy. So, throughout the glass material itself and what you choose there, then to the glue and what you choose there, and until what is on the screen here at the UX-said Olson.
