If youre going to be taking it somewhere with you then a case would be a good buy, Hori do a nice hard case that has padding and a holder for a few game carts. It has a double zip so you can unzip it just enough to get the charger in and let it charge while in the case too which I think is a nice little touch.

8bitdo controllers are superb and they work with the Switch out of the box, you can also get a bluetooth adapter from them and use Xbox or PS4 controllers on your Switch. Its kind of amazing how easy it all is to do and its definitely worth a look if you want some cheaper controller options.

Personally I dont think so but then it depends on how much you need the motion control for player 2. For something like Arms its prety much essential I believe but I cant think of anything else its vital for off the top of my head.

Nope, everything will work just fine with the bundled Joycon though some games will feel better with a pro controller or a controller with a proper d-pad, a lot of that will be personal taste though.

Dont own it so dont know for sure.
