Ever wondered if you can swing your arms and have as much fun with the Nintendo Switch as you did with the Wii? Let’s dive into that question and find the answer.
So, can you really play Nintendo Switch like you used to play with the Wii? Keep reading to find out more.
Short Answer: It’s a Yes and No
The Nintendo Switch does feature motion control similar to the Wii, thanks to the Joy-Con controllers. These nifty devices can detect movement, which means you can swing, shake, and move them around to control certain games.
However, the Switch isn’t a direct replacement for the Wii. While it does offer some of the same motion-controlled fun, its technology and game library are much more diverse. The Switch is a hybrid console, meaning you can use it both as a handheld device and connect it to your TV, offering a varied gaming experience that goes beyond what the Wii offered.
