Last updated
Ever wondered if you could use your trusty Wii Remote with your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into this topic and find out.
So, the burning question on everyone’s mind is: Can you actually pair a Wii Remote with a Nintendo Switch? Let’s get to the bottom of this.
Short Answer: No, But There’s a Twist
Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch does not directly support the Wii Remote. The Switch uses its own Joy-Con controllers or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for gaming action.
However, the world of gadgets is full of surprises. There are third-party adapters out there claiming to bridge this gap. These adapters may allow you to connect a Wii Remote to the Switch for certain games, but your mileage may vary, and it’s not officially supported by Nintendo.
