This $18 conversion cable replaces a Nintendo Switch dock
Replace your Nintendo Switch dock with this $18 conversion cable that’s perfect for traveling with your games.
TL;DR: As of November 9, get this Portable Nintendo Switch Dock Conversion Cable for only $17.99 — you’ll save 40%.
Nintendo has been a big deal in the gaming world for decades. From the original Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 to today’s Switch console and many others in between, Nintendo is an innovator that’s been seemingly one step ahead of the rest. The Switch is great because you can play it two ways: put it in the dock and connect it to a TV, or take it out and enjoy handheld play.
However, when you want to play on a bigger screen while away from home, you have to bring the whole docking station with you, which isn’t always possible. But this Portable Nintendo Switch Dock Conversion Cable eliminates that need, replacing the docking station. And ahead of the holidays, it’s on sale for just $17.99 (reg. $29), plus free shipping through November 16.
The cable’s small, lightweight design means it fits easily in a backpack or gaming travel case, so you can use it while hanging at a friend’s house or during down time at the hotel while on vacation.
A thoughtful gift for the Nintendo Switch fan on your list, this cable will also charge your switch. And because of its 100W PD fast charge capabilities, you can play it while charging without any damage to the console. With a 60Hz refresh rate, this HDMI cable supports 4K resolution for an elevated image quality. However, it’s only compatible with the official Nintendo Switch AC adapter.
Whether getting it for a Secret Santa gift, a stocking stuffer, or to take your own Switch on the road with more convenience, it can help take your game play to the next level of freedom.
Grab the portable Nintendo Switch dock conversion cable for $17.99 with free shipping until November 16 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Prices subject to change.
