How to Choose a Nintendo Switch Console for Hunters Who Haven't Purchased a Console Yet

Even though this is an introduction to peripheral devices, some of you may be wondering why we're suddenly introducing the Switch itself.
HoweverI put this first because it's the most important thing.
First, please take a look at this.

This is a demo version image, but Monster Hunter RiseThe graphics are amazing!!
To all hunters reading this article,We want you to play the exciting Monster Hunter on the big screen of your TV or monitor!
However, since the SwitchLite is designed for portability, unfortunately it is not possible to output the game screen to an external monitor.
For this reason, although it is a little more expensive than the Lite, I would definitely recommend getting the regular Switch.

Hunters who plan to purchase a Switch to coincide with the release of Monster Hunter will receive aMonster Hunter Rise limited edition modelis recommended!!

Recommended controllers for action games!

Since Monster Hunter is an action game, a momentary mistake in operation can often be fatal.
The JoyCon that comes with the Switch console has small buttons and the spacing between them is narrow, making it easy to make mistakes.
Don't skimp on the controller and make sure you get a good one.

Genuine Pro Controller - Buy this and you'll be fine

If you don't have any particular preference,Operational stability,Comfort in hand,Genuine product, so you can rest assuredWe recommend the genuine Pro Controller, which has all three of these features!!!

[amazonjs asin="B01NCX3W3O" locale="JP" title="Nintendo Switch Pro Controller (Genuine Nintendo Product)"]

By the way, the GameCube controller, which is popular among Smash Bros. fans, is not recommended for playing Monster Hunter.
This is because Monster Hunter makes full use of the buttons on the original Pro Controller, such as ZR, ZL, and pressing the left and right sticks.If the number of buttons is less than that of the original controller, some operations will be impossible.

Horipad for Nintendo Switch - For hunters who think the original Pro Controller is a bit too expensive

The problem with the genuine Pro Controller is that it is a bit expensive.
This is recommended for such hunters."Horipad for Nintendo Switch" is!

[amazonjs asin=”B07Q2JFJJR” locale=”JP” title=”[Nintendo Licensed Product] Wireless Horipad for Nintendo Switch, Blue [Compatible with Nintendo Switch]”]

Although it is not a genuine Nintendo product,Sold under official licenseSo, it not only works, but it's also great for peace of mind in case of an emergency!

By the way, there are many controllers in the 2000 yen range that do not have wired connections or gyro functions.Generally not recommended.
This is because if you buy one with limited functionality, you may have to buy a new controller when you need that functionality for another game.
Make sure you have at least one controller with all the functions, including gyro.

Two must-have protective items for carrying around

One of the most fun ways to play Monster Hunter is to bring it together with friends and play together.
However, carrying it around comes with the risk of damaging your precious Switch while traveling.
So, let me introduce you to some essential items that will protect your Switch!!

Anti-glare screen protector - Protect your precious screen

The most common malfunction of portable game consoles such as the Switch is a broken LCD screen.
Protective films are designed to prevent this, but there are many different types, so choosing one can be difficult.

Among them, I would especially like to recommendアンチグレアThis is the type of product known as "!!"

[amazonjs asin="B07J6N979G" locale="JP" title="Switch Anti-Glare Glass Film Protector, 9H Hardness, Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Reflective, [BELLEMOND] Switch GAG G082"]

The Switch can sometimes be operated by touching the screen, so fingerprints on the screen can be a concern.
Anti-glare film is processed to prevent fingerprints and reduce light reflection,No need to worry about fingerprints or light reflections on the screenThat's why.

Switch Carrying Case - Protect your console when on the go

If you carry the Switch around in your bag, there is a risk that it will be damaged by any impact.
When playing outside the home, be sure to carry it in the dedicated case!
Recommended products are these!!

Not only the Switch itself,A great item to store game cardsIt is.
It's especially troublesome to put game cards back into their cartridge cases every time you change games, so it's easier to keep them all together in the Switch case!!

4 useful items for your Switch on the go

Here we will introduce some useful items to have when playing Monster Hunter with friends on the go!
Not only are they great for when you're out and about, but there are also some that are convenient for playing at home, so be sure to check them out!!!

High-capacity mobile battery - No need to worry if the battery runs out

When playing Monster Hunter with friends on the go, you'll face battery issues.
According to the catalog specifications, the operating time of the Switch is approximately 2.5 to 6.5 hours for the older Nintendo Switch model, and approximately 4.5 to 9 hours for the new model.
In my opinion, a realistic operating time is around 3.5 hours.
No matter how you look at it, it's not enough fun! If you want to play for a long time on the go,A large-capacity mobile battery is essentialYes!!
There are many different types of mobile batteries available, but please pay attention to the following three points when purchasing one.

①Large capacity (10,000mAh or more)
...If the capacity is small, it may not be able to fully charge the Switch.

②High output (maximum output of 2A or more)
...If the output is low, charging may take too long.

3. It says it's compatible with Switch.
...If it does not say it is compatible with Switch, you may not be able to charge it.

Here is one recommended product that meets these criteria.

Switch Stand - Play even when your hands are tired

Have you ever experienced your hands getting tired after playing the Switch in handheld mode for a long time?
However, if you use the stand that comes with the device, you won't be able to charge it, and it's unstable so it's prone to falling over, which can be surprisingly inconvenient.
For such hunters, we recommend a small stand that can be used on the go!

[amazonjs asin=”B07D4R5GBJ” locale=”JP” title=”[Nintendo Genuine Product] Nintendo Switch Charging Stand (Free Stop Type)”]

The official Nintendo stand is compact, has adjustable angles, and allows you to play while charging.Anyway, it's highly functional.
This product is sure to be useful whether you're out and about or at home.

Mini-sized Switch dock - Play on your TV on the go

A small dock is recommended for hunters who want to play Monster Hunter on a large screen connected to a TV while traveling.
Nintendo's original dock is large and bulky to carry around.

[amazonjs asin="B08HDLBR6Q" locale="JP" title="[Nintendo Switch Compatible 3-in-1] Switch AC Adapter, Multi-Function HDMI Converter Adapter, Type-C Charger (HDMI/USB 3.0/TYPE-C), Fast Charging, PSE Certified, Overcurrent Protection, Compact, Switch Dock Replacement, TV Mode Compatible, TV Output, Smartphone, Laptop, etc., Includes 1.2M L-Shaped Type-C Cable]

This dock is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.Super compact size!!!
Not only can you use it on the go, but you can also use it when you don't have much space around your TV at home!

Bluetooth Audio Transmitter - No more cord hassles

Earphones are necessary when playing on the train, etc.
Recently, wireless connections have become mainstream, butYou can't connect Bluetooth earphones directly to the Switch..
If you normally use wireless earphones, it would be a hassle to carry around wired earphones just for the Switch.

[amazonjs asin="B07Y46PPB9" locale="JP" title="Switch Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Switch, PS4, Switch Lite, and PC, No-Delay Mini USB-C Headphone Receiver/Transmitter, Bluetooth Receiver, Earphone Converter, Bluetooth Earphones"]

But,With just one small machine like this, all of these worries can be solved!!
It is especially recommended for hunters who want to enjoy audio on the go!

Nintendo Online Voucher - Required for online play

This is also a little different from peripherals, but I'll write it down for hunters who have never played online.
To be honest, Monster Hunter is a relatively difficult game.
If you can complete the game from start to finish by yourself, you can call yourself a veteran hunter.
This is something that many novice hunters will find stumbling.
At times like that, you can rely onHunters who will cooperate onlineIt's us!!!
You might think it's a waste of money to pay for online play, but for just 2,400 yen a year you can play cooperatively with hunters from all over the world.
of course,You will be able to play not only Monster Hunter but also other games online.So, definitely join!!!
