2. Wireless Pairing

For wireless play, detach the Joy-Cons from the console. They will automatically pair. If manual pairing is needed, navigate to the HOME Menu, select "Controllers," then "Change Grip/Order." Press and hold the SYNC Button on the Joy-Con you wish to pair until the player indicator lights begin to flash.

3. Attaching Joy-Con Wrist Straps

The included wrist straps can be attached to each Joy-Con for added security during active gameplay.

Use the lock switch on the strap to secure it.
