Nintendo Switch Update: Every New Feature EXPLAINED

5. Remapping Controller Buttons

Accessibility and gaming go hand-in-hand nowadays, so it's great that Nintendo is thinking about accessibility with their latest update.

With 10.0.0, Nintendo is bringing the ability to actually remap your controller buttons to the console. While some games support this already, this is now baked-in at the system level, complete with the ability to save up five favourite custom controller configurations for each of your controllers.

Control remapping supports both Joycons, as well as the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, and also works for the Nintendo Switch Lite. Your configurations are tied entirely to the controller in question - so you can map your left Joy Con differently to the right, then save five different configurations on each.

This is very exciting news for gamers with disabilities, as it opens up new possibilities in terms of setting up controllers in a way that reflects that particular gamers' needs.

To access this one, simply go into System Settings > Controllers and Settings.
