  • Hi, this video shows you how to setup Wireless Play on the Nintendo Switch so you can play local multi player. In the video I show various different configuration of 2 player each with their own screen and 4 player on split screen. I also show the docked mode and a variety of different controllers connected as you can't use the Joy-Cons in the Joy-Con grip when using split screen on wireless play. I also see how far away the Switch will work before they disconnect from each other. Wireless play is a great feature if you have friends with the Nintendo Switch and own the same games.
    Many thanks Vince

    "Up to 8 switches can connect at one time" I live in Australia and I'm the only one I know who has a switch. Also I'd need friends as well

    Hi Vince Been Watching Your Videos For A Very Long Time. Just Bought My Daughter A Nintendo Switch For Her Upcoming B day. And Also Got Her Mario Kart 8 I Set Everything Up And I Must Of Tried For 2 Hours. To Try Work Out Why One Controller Seemed To Have Mind Of Its Own. !! I Tried Calibrating The Controllers At This Point I Was Convinced There Was A Controller Fault. Until Then I Remembered You Did Loads Of Videos On The Switch. And Boy Was I Pleased U Showed How To Turn Of The Various Aids In Mario Kart Absolute Legend Thank You Vince !!!

      I mean Mike, That means Your daughter Have may gotten joy con drift or it wont do things properly, You can Fix it as Long your Daughter doesnt have special edition joycons because they dont fix that, Only normal joycons Can be fixed same with pro controllers, If you Need advice on To fix it yourself i would advice A Hollow effect Joy Stick which Doesnt drift Like the GameCube or the Wii U, Aswell as N64 Controllers but Your Daughter will only be able to play the pro controller if you send it over as long as it isnt a special edition controller, Thanks for listening to this Very long sentence For no Reason 😅😅😅😅

    I am too old for this tech.
    So simply put I need to buy a Nintendo Switch for every person ( 3 kids and wife), and 4 times the same game so every one has their own game for their Switch.
    After this we can all play wireless, right?
    Also what other games do you recommend for a family of 5 that want to play wireless but close to each other.

    • @84rinne_moo
      @84rinne_moo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea for some reason once you start connecting multiple switches they limit the player per switch to 2. So to do 8 ppl you’d need 4 switches. I guess it might have to do with processing power or something? But still wish you could do 4 in each.
