I've had a fair few gadgets plugged into my Nintendo Switch, but none have been as handy as the Genki Covert Dock. This little charger doubles up as a completely safe, travel-friendly Switch dock with just an HDMI and USB-C cable required. The best part? Walmart's latest Nintendo Switch deals have dropped it to its lowest price yet - and that's rare considering we only started seeing any discounts on this gizmo a few months ago.
You'll find the Genki Covert Dock available for $59.95 at Walmart right now (was $74.99). That's $15 off the full price and a record low by $5 - we'd only ever seen it dip down to $64.99 in previous sales - and even that discount was a very short-lived one-dayer. If you're a Prime member, it's also worth forgoing the extra 4 cents on Amazon's $59.99 sale price for the free shipping.
I've been waiting for this Nintendo Switch deal. After reviewing the Covert Dock last year, and seeing one of its first discounts land in the UK over Prime Day, I've watched that $74.99 price tag dance around for a while. This is one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories on the market, but that $74.99 MSRP has always felt a little strong for more casual players. That means any discounts are exciting - a record-low price is something I didn't expect to see until Black Friday, though.
Genki Covert Dock | $74.99 $59.95 at Walmart
Save $15 - The Genki Covert Dock transformed the way I travel with my Nintendo Switch, and it's just hit a record-low price at Amazon. We've never seen this charger / dock drop below $65 before (and that was only during a particularly brief dip).
Buy it if:
✅ You regularly travel with your Switch
✅ You want to use other accessories in docked mode
✅ You want an all-in-one charger for other devices
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to pack as light as possible
❌ You don't need a USB-A port
❌ You want fast charging capabilities
Price Check: Amazon: $59.99 | Best Buy: OOS
I've had the Genki Covert Dock (or the smaller Covert Dock Mini for certain trips) in my Switch arsenal since I first opened up that review unit. Considering I regularly travel across the country to visit parents and family, it's been a game-changer - especially whenever there's a hotel stay involved. Simply slot an HDMI cable into the plug, a USB-C cable into your Switch, and connect the whole thing to a wall outlet and you're good to go. Picture is just as bright and speedy as you would expect from the full Nintendo Switch dock, in a package about a quarter of the size.
If you don't want to be limited to the small screen when you travel I would heavily recommend investing. In fact, there's only one reason I would avoid the Covert Dock; if you would benefit more from the Mini model. Dropping the USB-A port

The Shiren series has long been a niche one even among the Mystery Dungeon titles. It’s Spike Chunsoft’s own entirely original take on Mystery Dungeon that isn’t based on existing properties such as Dragon Quest or Pokemon and has long since been popular in Japan but not quite as sought after anywhere else. The last entry we saw localized was a remake in the form of Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fates which was originally a DS title before it made its way to modern systems. The newest title, Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island was originally announced as coming to Japan with no word on a localization. Fortunately fans no longer need to worry as we’ve finally gotten our confirmed English release for the title to make a splash onto Nintendo Switch next year. The new art style is no longer sprite based and instead entirely 3D models rather akin to the recent Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remake we had a few years back. This charming new take on Shiren seems absolutely packed full of life and is promising to bring back the classic gameplay and challenge that so many knew and loved it for.
