I have barely needed a second pair of JoyCons. But that's because my cousin lives really nearby. When we play Super Mario Party, he has JoyCons too. So you probably want 2 JoyCons. Or if you know you're getting an extra dock and extra JoyCons anyway, maybe consider 2 Switches. That's only if you have plenty of money.

I would say get at least a 128GB microSD. If you know you're getting a ton of digital games (especially full retail games digitally) go for 200GB or 256GB. I have a 128 GB microSD and still have about 80 GB free.

I think you're at a good time to get a Switch. If you waited until the holiday season, there would be other huge games coming out. Your backlog would get even bigger!
