One of my favorite Nintendo Switch accessories just hit a new record low price for Prime Day
The Genki ShadowCast has taken up permanent residency in my Nintendo Switch case. Not for its prowess as a capture card, and not even for its versatile multi-platform compatibility - but for the sheer joy of being able to plug my handheld into my laptop screen and play while on the road. It certainly helps to keep the Genki Covert Dock Mini handy to negate the need for a whole dock setup, but once you're there the freedom to play big-screen wherever you find yourself is exhilarating.

You'll find the diddy dongle for just $39.99 right now at Amazon - that's $10 off and a brand new record low price. In fact, it's the first discount I've seen, and I've been watching this thing like a hawk since I tested it - ready to report on some savings. If you're looking to complete your Nintendo Switch setup this Prime Day, this is a must-see offer.
