I think I'm getting a Switch sooner rather than later.

What are some essential accessories that would be recommended?
I'm thinking of a carrying case, the screen protector, Micro SD Card, (maybe a battery pack?) and a Pro Controller.
Probably getting Splatton 2, maybe will rebuy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

If you are going to buy every game physically that you can, you don't need a Micro SD immediately but you will eventually.  I bought mine at launch and haven't needed one yet, but will probably pick one up this holiday.  Be sure to buy a good quality one, such as this one:  https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSD-Adapter-MB-ME128GA-AM/dp/B06XWZWYVP/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1499819231&sr=8-3&keywords=128+gb+micro+sd+card

For carrying cases, my recomendation goes to this:  https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Game-Traveler-Deluxe-Travel/dp/B01MY9JB2U/ref=pd_sim_63_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2HMP9AY6QSVNT9S1SYKH It has the best design, it holds the games securely in those cases in a compartment under the system so they don't get loose and bounce around, they case is sturdy, the pouch acts as a flap that protects the screen and velcroes in place so that it also holds the system firmly.  The inside of the case also has little indentations for the ZL and ZR so that the system sits flat.  You can also get this in multiple different looks.

Another handy case if you want to take the entire system, dock and all, with you is this one:  https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Game-Traveler-Deluxe-System/dp/B01N23OP50/ref=pd_cp_63_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Z9MW21JG9RWJ16FTGHDQ .  Sturdy, holds the dock, system+joycons, power cord, has space for the USB to USB C cable used for charging the pro controller or Joy-Con Power Grip, and the Pro Controller or Joy Cons+Grip.  Also comes with two game cases and a pouch for those.  Incidentally, if you did buy both you would have enough cases to carry 16 physical games.

The Pro Controller is really, really good.  Exceptionally comfortable and really well made.

As an aside, I don't have one but it may be worth considering a screen protector.  You can find some tempered glass ones out there. 

Thanks for the detailed response.

Do you have that case? It looks really good and I was considering it, but reviews say it smells awful lol. Would you say that is the case?
