With the Nintendo Switch release expected to arrive this coming March, a third party company already made announcements at the CES 2017 that it will be offering Switch accessories by spring.

With the Nintendo Switch release date likely to be announced this coming Jan. 12, the highly anticipated hybrid home and portable console is already highlighted at the ongoing Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2017. A third party company recently announced that it will be releasing a line of accessories for Nintendo's newest console which should be available by the time the console releases this year.

Snakebyte recently made announcements at the CES 2017 that it will be making a line of accessories for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch console, Game Spot reported. The consumer electronics company likewise revealed that it is targeting the release of its products by spring this year, in time for the highly anticipated console release.

Among the Nintendo Switch accessories that will be introduced is a compatible headset that folds up, a feature that compliments the console's portability. According to the company, the product named Nintendo Switch Foldable Headset is equipped with 40mm drivers which should be ideal for gaming.

Snakebyte will also offer a Nintendo Switch Starter Kit. The set includes stereo earbuds, screen protector, carry bag, control caps, game cases and cleaning cloth.

Meanwhile, gamers are still waiting for fresh announcements for additional titles that could come to the console. While a host of exciting titles has already been revealed, gamers would no doubt welcome a few more additions to the lineup.

However, rumors are currently circulating that an Ubisoft title could become a Nintendo Switch exclusive game before it eventually releases for Xbox and PlayStation. The latest hints came from tweets made by Laura Kate Dale predicting that Ubisoft's "Beyond Good & Evil 2" could become an exclusive title for the console for 12 months, Ars Technica reported.

While still unconfirmed by either Ubisoft or Nintendo, the publication maintains that Dale has been a reliable source of Nintendo leaks in the past. Furthermore, Ubisoft has been supportive of Nintendo Switch, Ubisoft EMEA director Alain Corre announcing in the past that it plans "a wide variety of software" for the new console.

Of course, everything will be confirmed this coming January 12, 2017. Among the announcements expected to be revealed are the official Nintendo Switch release date, price, and titles that are compatible with it.
