Can You Use a Nintendo 64 Controller on the Switch?

Ever wondered if you could hook up a Nintendo 64 controller to your Switch? Let’s dive into this fun question.

Can the classic N64 controller work with your shiny Nintendo Switch? Let’s find out.

Short Answer: It’s Complicated

Technically, you can’t plug a Nintendo 64 controller directly into the Nintendo Switch. The Switch uses a different connector for its controllers. But don’t lose hope just yet!

With the help of adapters and a bit of tech wizardry, you can make it happen. There are third-party adapters available that bridge the gap between the old and new, allowing your beloved N64 controller to connect to the Switch. However, be ready for a bit of a setup process.
