Three Play Modes
TV Mode - Gather around a big screen and enjoy gaming with a crowd. Dock your Nintendo Switch to enjoy HD gaming on your TV.
TableTop Mode - Share the screen, share the fun. Flip the stand to share the screen, then share the fun with a multiplayer game.
HandHeld Mode - Carry around a large, beautiful display anywhere you go. Pick it up and play with the Joy-Con controllers attached
Joy-Con™
Nintendo Switch has a controller on each side of the console that function together: the Joy-Con.
If you attach the two Joy-Con to the Joy-Con grip, it will work like a traditional controller, and without the grip they work as two individual, fully-functioning controllers.
Share the fun with Joy-Con - By handing one of the Joy-Con to a friend, you can play competitive or co-operative multiplayer anywhere.
A sense of touch that goes beyond mere vibrations
Imagine the Joy-Con is a glass containing ice cubes. With HD rumble, when you move and tilt the Joy-Con you can feel the ice cubes clanking around.
There’s one, there’s another…HD rumble feels so realistic that you can even tell how many cubes there are, almost as if you’re actually holding a glass in your hand.
Sense shape, movement and distance
The IR Motion Camera in Joy-Con (R) can detect the shape, movement and distance of objects captured by the camera.
For example, it can recognise the shape of players’ hands, such as when you make a rock, paper or scissors. This feature can also open up new experiences like Nintendo Labo (sold separately).
