Charging Stations
When it comes to wireless controllers, you always have to be mindful of the batteries running out. It´s important to always keep the controllers with enough charge to play without interruptions.
The Nintendo Switch automatically recharges the Joy-Cons attached to the console. But what if you have more than two Joy-Con? Or a Pro Controller?
Well, in that case, you can buy a Charging Station and leave your controllers plugged into it when you aren´t playing. With these gadgets, you won´t have to worry about their battery life anymore.

Ring Fit Adventure- Ring-Con and Leg Strap
Just like the Wii Fit had the Wii Balance Board, Nintendo released a new fitness game for the Switch with its own set of accessories. Ring Fit Adventure is a fitness game where you go on a quest to stop an evil dragon. You traverse levels and fight enemies in turn-based battles where each attack is done by performing the indicated exercise.
The Ring-Con and Leg Strap are the tools that the game uses to detect your movements. The former is a ring that you attach your left Joy-Con to and hold with both hands. The latter is a strap that holds your right Joy-Con and wraps around your thigh. Both of them combined can use the Joy-Con´s sensors to detect your arm and leg movements. If you want to know more, we have an in-depth article about the Ring Fit Adventure over here.
