Interesting to read that you'll be able to pair Switch 1 joycons with Switch 2. That seems like the type of thing Nintendo would have avoided in the past to prevent product confusion. I wonder if I'll be able to use my old pro controller too?
NS1 pro controller is compatible with a running NS2 console but will not wake it from sleep.
What a minorly annoying distinction. Thanks for the explanation
That’s fine, my pro controller won’t wake my regular Switch from sleep either.
Hold the home button down and that usually wakes up my switch with both my pro controllers
Maybe the alarm is too quiet.
My 8bitdo controller does
Mine does.
Mine does.
No wake from sleep? Of course they leave out the best feature
Nintendo has repeatedly done things like this.
The original Wii supports GameCube controllers, the Wii U supports Wii Remotes, Wii U and Switch both support USB GameCube controller adapters, and NES/SNES Classic Edition Mini systems support the Wii Classic Controller. Switch Lite supports pairing Joy-Con too, despite having no rails for them.
Wii U goes so far with Wii Remote support that Nintendo usually treated it as the preferred way for extra players to join local multiplayer, moreso than its own Pro Controller. Wii games were more limited with GC controller but still supported it in a few big titles like Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.
