Switch accessories have been popping up left and right over the past couple of weeks. Now from Nordic distributor Pan Vision, a bunch more have been listed.
Perhaps the most interesting of the bunch is for Joy-Con armor guards. In that listing, it mentions separate “wand” and “controller” modes for the controller. Another accessory hints at voice chat, but I think that’s something we were all expecting from Switch at this point.
Here’s the full rundown from Reddit user pixelpushing:

Finnish retailer lists several Switch accessories
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Finnish retailer Konsolinet has listed several Switch accessories from ORB on their website. ORB have created a couple of accessories for Nintendo hardware in the past, including the Wii and the 3DS.

Konsolinet also lists an official Switch Pro Controller on their website with a March 3rd release date, though that is likely a placeholder.
