Skins, controllers, and more are featured in the alleged leaks.

There's no shortage of leaks, rumours, speculation and more surrounding Nintendo's console Switch, and now scans have emerged from Twitter user DroidXAce that allegedly show Switch accessories from Hori, including working concepts.

Trusted insider Laura Kate Dale backed up these leaks saying they were legit, so maybe there's more weight to them than the average rumour.

Depicted in the scans are various accessories and Switch features, which can all be found on the Twitter page, including stickers, controllers, themed consoles, screen protectors, cartridges etc. The themed console in question is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with an attached release window of March, and one scan also reveals what looks to be a sharing button.

Also, good news for fighting game fans, as there looks to be a fighting game controller with a stick and everything, indicating that fighting games will be coming at some point (can't have a controller for fighting games without any games to use them on).

More pictures can be found on NeoGAF, showing some more official-looking accessories, including packaging, some of which are included below.

There's plenty to peruse, and if it's all to be believed, there will be plenty of extras for fans to buy when the Switch comes out. What peripherals are you hoping to see?
