Nintendo Switch has become one of the company's biggest successes, and that the console has left with serious doubts. It is undoubtedly the best-selling console, mainly because of its characteristics: consolidation a tablet, portable icon, desktop and mode controllers it works well. And you can always add more controls to increase players, even if they don't appear on Nintendo Switch itself. Since mobile phones and console controls work via Bluetooth, why not pair them?
Convert Android phone to JoyCon or Pro controller
Pairing Nintendo Switch controls on Android is not as easy as the process is more than simple: just search them in the Bluetooth phone option and sync them. But the other way around is not so easy from there you need an app that mimics the physical buttons on the screen and two on the console mimicking connection goals; includes a JoyCon Droid operating system, a fully functional body controller.
The app is in Alpha development mode, which means: It's not 100% stable and doesn't work well on all cell phones. We tried it several times and didn't find too many problems, of course telephone doubts for compatibility. With a little practice it is resolved.
Once the JoyCon Droid app is installed, the process of converting a mobile phone into a Nintendo controller is as follows:
- Open JoyCon Droid. Your phone must ask you for permission to put Bluetooth into recovery mode. Agree.
- Choose which controller you want to emulate: JoyCon left, right or pro controller.
- Press & # 39; After & # 39; and the selected remote interface will appear.
- Go to Nintendo Switch and press the controls icon, third from the right.
- On the console, click & # 39; Change order or click mode & # 39 ;.
- If all goes well on the phone, a switch-on request will appear. Accept it.
- Your phone will appear running on the console as a command. You can now control an icon with a JoyCon Droid interface.
As we said, does not work properly on all phones
In addition to offering use as a physical controller for Nintendo Switch, JoyCon Droid lets you & # 39; buttons, personalize control view, activate accelerometers, gyroscope controls and even Use NFC to read Amiibos; without changing the color of the controls. Not that you can replace a broken JoyCon because it's impossible to play on a cell phone with another JoyCon at the same time, but the app is useful to add a new player to Mario Kart even if you don't have physical controls, for example. And it mimics the Pro controller well; even though it's a far cry from throwing the same quality into control, as it makes sense.
