The Nintendo Switch is slowly building an arsenal of accessories including Nintendo's very own foldable headset to make sure that gaming beyond the comforts of one's home will be equally entertaining.

Retailer Snakebyte unveiled its roster of products specifically for the Nintendo Switch in the recently held Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas over the weekend. The list, which is described by the company as "designed to enhance the portable nature of the Switch console," offers a Starting Bundle that is packed with different tools for the console. The kit includes some wired stereo earbuds, cleaning cloth, screen protector and control caps. Game cases, as well as a bag for the device, are also part of the loot.

As previously mentioned, Nintendo's specially made collapsible headset for the Nintendo Switch has also been debuted in case owners do not want to use the earbuds from the Starter Kit. The headset is said to be packing 40mm diameter drivers for a clearer gaming experience especially when playing co-op titles.

It can be remembered that just last month, a supposed leak of accessories for the Nintendo Switch has also made a commotion among those who have been eagerly waiting for any updates for the two-in-one device. Apparently, Australian video game website, EB Games, listed an extra-long charging cable — roughly 10-feet long — tipped for the device with a USB-C connector. It was, however, taken down immediately after it garnered interest from the online community.

Meanwhile, as the tracking continues for the possible content of the Nintendo Switch, fans can already discount "Persona 5" and "Yakuza 0" arriving on the device. Atlus USA and SEGA of America PR manager John Hardin has already confirmed, via his official Twitter account, that the double title will remain exclusive to PlayStation platforms. This is despite the fact that the game developers have plans to provide content for the console.

Likewise, BioWare's "Mass Effect: Andromeda" is also confirmed to not be coming to the aforementioned device anytime soon. Although the company has reiterated that just because it is not yet in the cards now, does not mean that it will never happen in the future.

More details regarding the Nintendo Switch can be expected this Jan. 13 during Nintendo's press-only event in New York. It will then be followed by an official public rollout in March.
