Amazing Things You Didn’t Know Your Nintendo Switch Could Do

If you’re a proud owner of a Nintendo Switch, you likely already know that it’s an exceptional gaming console that allows you to play games both at home and on the go. However, there are several features that you might not be aware of, which make the Switch an even more impressive device. Here are some of the amazing things that you didn’t know your Nintendo Switch could do:

1. Use a GameCube Controller

The Nintendo Switch can be used with GameCube controllers, which is exciting news for fans of Super Smash Bros. In order to take advantage of this feature, you’ll need to invest in a GameCube adapter. The adapter includes four controller inputs and connects to the Switch via a USB connection.

2. Control Your TV

The Nintendo Switch has an IR motion camera that can be used to control your TV or other devices that have an IR receiver. This feature is especially useful if you lose your TV remote or if you want to control your TV from your bed.

3. Play NES Games

If you’re a fan of old-school games, you can access a library of NES games on your Nintendo Switch. The NES library includes classic games such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong. You’ll need to have a subscription to Nintendo’s online service to access the NES library.

4. Use Bluetooth Headphones

The Nintendo Switch doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity, but you can still use Bluetooth headphones with the device. All you need to do is purchase a Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the Switch’s USB-C port.

5. Use a Classic Controller

If you prefer to use a classic controller rather than the Joy-Cons, you can do so by purchasing a Switch Pro controller. The Pro controller has a more traditional design and features a longer battery life than the Joy-Cons.

6. Take Screenshots and Record Videos

You can capture screenshots and record videos of your gameplay on your Nintendo Switch. To take a screenshot, simply press the capture button on the left Joy-Con. To record a video, hold down the capture button. You can then edit and share your screenshots and videos using the Switch’s built-in editing tools.

7. Customize Your Themes

The Nintendo Switch has several different themes that you can choose from to personalize your device. You can even create your own custom themes using screenshots and images from your photo album.

In conclusion, the Nintendo Switch is an impressive device that offers more than just a gaming console. With these hidden features, you can enhance your gaming experience and take advantage of the Switch’s full potential. Whether you’re a classic gamer or a modern player, the Nintendo Switch can do so much more than you might expect.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
