The 'Switch Fighter' is an aftermarket accessory for use with the Nintendo Switch that will work to transform the video game console into a retro arcade game for avid gamers to enjoy.

The case works by having the JoyCon controllers removed before slipping it into the docking area in the upper section to turn the console into a retro display. The unit can then be controlled with the integrated joystick on the lower section along with six buttons to create a more authentic arcade experience.

The 'Switch Fighter' Nintendo Switch console cabinet comes in several finish options that will create a style-conscious design for users to enjoy. The cabinet will accommodate use with a wide array of game titles and will help enhance comfort to boot.
