Where to preorder the Pro 2 controller and other Switch 2 accessories
Sadly, President Trump's on-again, off-again tariff policy has resulted in slight price bumps on several Switch 2 accessories — including the aforementioned Pro 2 Controller. There's no telling whether we can expect more price hikes down the line, either, meaning if you do manage to preorder a Switch 2 and want to pick up a second controller or another accessory to go with it, now might be the time to act. Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller
The removable Joy-Cons are great for portable and wireless play, but their small, curveless design can feel cramped during longer sessions if you have larger hands. That's why the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller might be worth a look, especially if you mostly game in TV mode. The upgraded version of one of our favorite Nintendo Switch controller features a few welcome improvements, including a pair of rear GL and GR buttons players can use to remap other controls. Nintendo has also finally added a 3.5mm audio jack, allowing you to pair it with a headset or a set of wired headphones. The gamepad even features the aforementioned 'C' button.

As of writing, you can preorder the Switch 2 Pro controller for $84.99 at Best Buy, GameStop, and Target. It was also initially available at Walmart; however, the retailer's initial preorder allotment has since sold out. Joy-Con 2 Wheel (set of two)
If you plan on picking up the new Mario Kart World , the Joy-Con 2 Wheels are worth a look. Simply snap the Joy-Con 2 controllers, which connect magnetically, into the steering wheel attachments before booting up your preferred racing title. The two-wheel set is currently available for preorder for $24.99 at Best Buy, GameStop, and Target. Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector
The Switch 2 is a pricey gadget you'll want to keep safe, so it's a good idea to invest in a carrying case like the Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector. We'll likely see a wealth of third-party brands release their own version in the coming weeks, but Nintendo's proprietary offering is likely to be one of the few available at launch.
The bundle — which includes a console-only carrying case, screen protector, and cleaning cloth — is only available for preorder for $39.99 at GameStop and Target, even if it was originally available elsewhere. Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case
Nintendo is also launching an All-In-One Carrying Case on June 5th, which is more spacious than the model mentioned above. The higher-end case features separate compartments for stowing the console and various goodies, including the Switch 2 dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, cables, and up to six game cards. You can preorder it now from GameStop for $84.99. Read More 8 Video Game Heroes Who Are Secretly The Villain - GameRant
Supposedly, you can video chat with friends via GameChat using any compatible USB-C camera, but Nintendo offers its own solution in the form of the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera. The 1080p camera is designed to sit on a stand, allowing you to display your face as a picture-in-picture overlay or as a dedicated video feed. A few titles, such as the upgraded version of Super Mario Party Jamboree , let you see your friends on-screen while you play. Some mini-games even incorporate the camera into the game experience itself.
The camera features an adjustable wide-angle lens, designed to capture groups of people in a single shot, as well as a 'high-sensitivity image sensor' that automatically adjusts brightness levels. It also features a built-in privacy shutter and includes a USB-C charging cable, as well as support for TV, tabletop, and handheld modes.
You can currently preorder it for $54.99 from Best Buy, GameStop, and Target.
Update, May 22nd: Updated to reflect current pricing and availability.

Asian shares rise after Wall Street falls as Trump pressures trading partners with new tariffs
Asian shares rose Tuesday after stocks on Wall Street closed broadly lower as the White House stepped up pressure on major trading partners to make deals before punishing tariffs imposed by the U.S. take effect. Japan's Nikkei 225 added 0.4% to 39,734.62 while South Korea's Kospi rose 1.2% to 3,096.29. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index climbed 0.2% to 23,941.58 while the Shanghai Composite gained 0.6% to 3,492.41. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1% lower to 8,583.50. On Wall Street on Monday, the S&P 500 fell 0.8% for its biggest loss since mid-June. The benchmark index remains near its all-time high set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave back 0.9% while the Nasdaq composite also finished 0.9% lower, not too far from its own record high. The losses were widespread. Decliners outnumbered gainers by nearly 4-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Tesla tumbled 6.8% for the biggest drop among S&P 500 stocks as the feud between CEO Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump reignited over the weekend. Musk, once a top donor and ally of Trump, said he would form a third political party in protest over the Republican spending bill that passed last week. The selling accelerated after the Trump administration released letters informing Japan and South Korea that their goods will be taxed at 25% starting on Aug. 1, citing persistent trade imbalances with the two crucial U.S. allies in Asia. Trump also announced new tariff rates on Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Laos and Myanmar. Just before hefty U.S. tariffs on goods imported from nearly every country around the globe were to take effect in April, Trump postponed the levies for 90 days in hopes that foreign governments would be more willing to strike new trade deals. That 90-day negotiating period was set to expire before Wednesday. This latest phase in the trade war heightens the threat of potentially more severe tariffs hanging over the global economy. Higher taxes on imported goods could hinder economic growth, if not increase recession risks. 'With the August 1 deadline serving as a negotiation buffer, the current tape suggests that markets are hedging, not fleeing. The mood? Edgy but not panicked—a poker table where the joker just hit the felt, but no one's shoved their stack,' Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, wrote in a commentary. Mizuho Bank Ltd, in a commentary, said the three-week extension in the tariff deadline 'is a distraction from festering, and possibly widening, tariff risks.' In other dealings on Tuesday, benchmark U.S. crude oil lost 30 cents to $67.63 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, gave up 30 cents to $69.28. The dollar was trading at 146.05 to the Japanese yen, slightly up from 146.01 yen. The euro rose to $1.1746 from $1.1714. ___ AP Business Writer Alex Veiga contributed

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures mixed as Trump ramps up tariff threats ahead of August deadline
US stock futures were mixed as President Trump threatened stiff tariffs on imports from more than a dozen countries and delayed the return of sweeping April levies. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) slipped 0.1% while the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F) hovered near the baseline. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) rose 0.1%. On Monday, stocks fell as Trump posted to Truth Social letters addressed to the leaders of 14 countries threatening 25% to 40% tariffs starting August 1. Key US trading partners Japan and South Korea were among the group, as well as Malaysia, South Africa, and Indonesia. The president also signed an Executive Order Monday officially moving his July 9 deadline for the resumption of "Liberation Day" tariff rates to August 1. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs "The President may send more letters in the coming days and weeks," a statement from the White House said. In an early response to a tariff letter, South Korea said it would kick trade negotiations with the US into high gear, adding that it considered the new date an extension of a grace period. Other than on the trade, Wall Street expects a quiet week in terms of economic releases and earnings. Minutes from the Federal Reserve's June meeting land Wednesday, and Delta (DAL) kicks off earnings season Thursday.
