Astro and Nintendo are partnering up to make a special Switch headset

Are you a fan of the Nintendo Switch and Astro Gaming headset? Well, you may seen have a headset that’s Switch branded through Astro. Manufacturer Astro Gaming is partnering up with Nintendo to add some extra style to your gaming.

Named Astro Gaming Nintendo Switch, expected to arrive this holiday season, will feature characters and designs from The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario series, as well as several other unannounced properties from Nintendo.
