This Nintendo Switch power bank doubles as a play stand

Thanko, a Japanese company which designs “interesting products”, has come up with a unique power bank specially made for Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch Power Bank Stand comes with two adjustable stands which allow the Nintendo Switch to be played in Tabletop Mode while it’s being charged.

Thanko has a few selling points for the Switch power bank. The first selling point is the power bank has a USB Type-C plug directly built in, so gamers can charge their Nintendo Switch without using an additional cable. This is especially useful while playing in Tabletop Mode.

Secondly, the power bank boosts a capacity of 10,000maH, which means the Switch can be fully recharged 1.5 times. That means players can expect to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for roughly 4.5 more hours.

The power bank features a compact design and is small enough to fit inside a pocket. It’s also able to charge other mobile devices via USB Type-A or Type-C cables. It takes 4 hours to fully recharge the power bank.

The Nintendo Switch Power Bank Stand is available on the Thanko online store for 3,580 yen here (ships within Japan only).
