 You can buy stuff from the eShops of other regions. You will need to make a dedicated Nintendo Account that is set to that region, add that to your Switch, and get some money in there. Though games are not region-locked, voucher cards from other regions are locked-out, so will have to get eShop vouchers for the required region online. The best way is to buy them directly off, say, Amazon, but you can also get marked-up versions of EBay, PlayAsia, etc.
-A Japanese account is good for buy some shooters like //ESP Ra.De. Psi//, for example :)

-Switch games that support playing with the screen in a vertical position (AKA: Tate mode). Most popular for vertical shooters. There's a peripheral you can get called the 'flip grip' that holds the screen vertically with joycons attached.

 ===== Periphera =====
+==== Labo ====
+Series of cardboard accessories you build and play dedicated games with. They also include a tool called //[[Toy-Con Garage]]// for programming your own software, which has since been turned into it's own release called //[[Game Builder Garage]]//.
+The sets have been discontinued, so you can pick them up pretty cheaply, if you can find them.
+=== VR ===
+The VR set doesn't include any straps, so you have to hold it to your face. This is designed into the games that come with it, but if you want to use it for any additional games that support it, or include a more regular VR mode in your own games, you might want something to hold the thing to your head. You can pretty easily make yourself some straps with strips of Velcro, but there are also some things you can buy, none are too pricey:
+  * **[[https://www.sweatproofgaming.com/product-page/comfort-headset-for-labo-vr|Comfort Set for Labo VR]]** by Sweat Proof Gaming seems to be a popular choice. Unlike some other options it fits fine when joycons are attached and when they're not. You have to preorder, but it's pretty cheap: USD$14 + USD$10 international postage.
+  * Oivo's **[[https://www.oivogames.com/collections/nintendo-switch/products/oivo-vr-headset-for-nintendo-switch|VR Headset for Nintendo Switch]]** is a complete shell, so you don't even need the Labo kit. The first release sounds a bit shit, but they later released a 'pro'/'updated' revision that seems to be work much better.
+  * Some company called Old Skool make **[[https://www.oldskoolgames.com/product-page/head-strap-for-labo-vr|Head Strap for Labo VR]]** that looks like it attaches well, but you can't use it with joycons attached (maybe doesn't matter), and it has a big horrible logo on it.
+  * There're probably other on Amazon or w/e

 Best budget options seems to be the Mayflash sticks.
-The 'F300' and 'F500' models seem to use the same parts, just the '300 is more plastic, so lighter feeling, and you can't add your own artwork (if that's your thing) or plug in headphones. They're both easy to mod, so [[Sanwa]] or [[Seimitsu]] parts can be swapped in, and they're all solderless! You can also use them with the last two generations of Sony and Microsoft consoles, Android phones, Neo-Geo Minis, and PCs.

They're both easy to mod, so [[Sanwa]] or [[Seimitsu]] parts can be swapped in, and they're all solderless. For modding the '500' is a bit better, because it has a metal top plate. You can also use them with the last two generations of Sony and Microsoft consoles, Android phones, Neo-Geo Minis, and PCs. I've been using my [[mayflash_f300_elite|F300 Elite]] with the [[sony_playstation_2|PS2]] through an adaptor.
 There are also 'Elite' versions of both, that have Sanwa parts already in there.
+Other companies also distribute their own versions of these sticks that seem identical. The 8BitDo N30 is like the F300, and the Venom Arcade Fight Stick is like the F300 Elite. IE the main difference is Sanwa parts, but there are other things like wireless that I don't care about.
